Disney has really been into neon this summer. Displayed with some of the Neon Disney collection at World of Disney at Disney Springs we spotted this bright red and blue Mickey Mouse icon plush bag. It is soft, furry, and the red and blue colors remind me of Dr. Seuss’s Thing 1 and Thing 2.

For Guests who will have upcoming Walt Disney World dining reservations, there is a brand new way for you to be able to check in to the restaurant. With Mobile Dine Check-In, Guests will be able to check into select table service dining locations via the My Disney Experience app. By participating in Mobile Dine Check-In, Guests will easily be able to minimize contact with others.
In order to be able to use this option, Guests will need their phone, the My Disney Experience app and a dining reservation at one of the select participating restaurants. When it’s time to check-in for your dining reservation, a push notification will be sent to your phone prompting you to check in for your reservations via the app. If you don’t receive the push notification, you can also use Mobile Dine Check-In by scanning a QR code that will be found in the lobby of the restaurant. Guests who use Mobile Dine Check-In won’t need to stop at the host stand to check in.
Once you access your reservation, you’ll be able to confirm your arrival time and the details of your party. When your table is ready, you will then be instructed of what location to head to in order to be seated.
Restaurants that will be offering Mobile Dine Check-In will include:
If you’ll be staying at the Walt Disney World Resort from June 22 through July 10 and are looking to make dining reservations, you’ll soon be able to do so!
Those who have Disney Resort hotel reservations for those dates will be able to make select Walt Disney World Resort Hotel and Disney Springs dining reservations beginning on June 18. One thing to keep in mind is that unlike before, in order to make your reservation, you won’t be able to do so online. Instead, Guests will need to call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) 824-1391 to check availability. Or, if you’re a Disney Vacation Club Member, you’ll need to call Member Services at (800) 800-9800. Online dining reservations are currently available at select Disney Springs dining locations and they will open for other dining experiences at a later date.
Also of note, in order to be able to make dining reservations for these dates, you must have a valid Disney Resort hotel reservation.
Now, while these reservations are available for Walt Disney World Resort Hotel table service restaurants, dining reservations are not available for in-park restaurants yet. These reservations will resume at a later date and when they do, Guests will need valid park admission, a reservation for park entry and a dining reservation to dine at these locations. Also, keep in mind that should you procure a dining reservation, it does not guarantee admission to the park.
