Reservation strategy
60 days exact, 6 AM ET. Most princess + character dining is gone by 6:05. Set the alarm. Top targets: CRT, Akershus, Le Cellier, 'Ohana, Storybook Dining.
Lounge fallback. Many signature spots (Space 220, Oga's, California Grill) have walk-up lounges if dining room is booked.
Mobile order quick-service. Satu'li Canteen, Pecos Bill, Docking Bay 7 — save 30+ min per meal.
Princess dining stacked smart. CRT (or Akershus) once is the headline. Chef Mickey's at Contemporary is the easy day-1 hit. ⚠ Trattoria al Forno's Bon Voyage princess breakfast is currently suspended — don't plan on it.
Character meals beat character meet lines. 90 min at Tusker House > 3 hours of standing in lines for 4 characters.
August Food & Wine Festival means EPCOT has 30+ booths around the lagoon. Plan a snack-crawl evening.
