I remember you talking about a Mexican restaurant that is very good. Could you tell me the name of that one again? And also I see that you are already making reservations at certain restaurants and your trip is still five months away. Do you think that I will still be able to make reservations with my trip only being two weeks away?
The YUMMY Mexican restaurant is San Angel Inn, located in the Mexico Pavilion of Epcot. It is fabulous! My dad is a Mexican food connoisseur, and he insists that this is the best he's had. As a sidenote, Epcot always serves authentic food. In fact, most of the Cast Members in each pavilion are from that particular country! I would definitely suggest San Angel Inn. Delicious, and the environment is really beautiful! It's dim, romantic, but still lively and fun. It's dark even in mid-day, so if you're not able to land an ADR (Advanced Dining Reservation) for dinnertime, you'll still enjoy the atmosphere.
Speaking of ADR's, you can still try to get some reservations, even two weeks out. However, here are some things to keep in mind if making reservations at the last minute:
- Have numerous options that you're willing to try if your Plan A restaurant doesn't work out.
- Signature restaurants will be difficult to reserve, but it's always worth a try!
- Be persistent. People will change their travel plans all the time and tables will open up on the booking system.
- You'll have the best chance of getting reservations if you're willing to eat at odd times. For instance, I just searched for a reservation at San Angel Inn on May 16 for 2 people. Dinner was booked, but there was an opening at 3:40 pm. My family has done this before! Eat your breakfast/lunch at a weird time too, and it won't seem like you're eating at bizarre times :)
- It's worth it to eat at a strange time. Disney restaurants are so environment-rich and exciting. Disney establishments are open all day, so type in a weird time and you'll probably have some luck.
- If you plan on eating at any Table Service restaurants during your trip, it's very difficult to get a table if you just walk up without an ADR. Try your best now--it's not too late to give it a shot!
I hope this helps, and let me know if you need anything else! By the way, I added a Search box in my right-hand column. That way, if you remember something I've mentioned or want to see if I've discussed it before, you can search easily!
