One of our favorite things about visiting Walt Disney parks &amp; resorts is the food.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, when we book a Disney trip, we plan everything around where we want to eat. But booking restaurant reservations for a Disney vacation can be extremely difficult and time consuming. The best times and most popular restaurants are usually completely booked months in advance, and you don\u2019t have time to constantly call or search for reservation times as they become available.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mousewatcher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MW_Blog_001_DisneyFoodies.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1080\"><\/p>\n<p>After years of facing this struggle, we had an idea. A couple of months before one of our Disney trips we built a tool to watch for a reservation opening at a restaurant we\u2019d been trying to get into for 2 years: Be our Guest. In less than 24 hours, we had a dinner reservation for 4! A few months later, for a last minute trip our system found a California Grill dinner reservation during the Magic Kingdom Fireworks &#8211; just 3 weeks before the trip!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8\" src=\"https:\/\/mousewatcher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MW_Blog_001_BeOurGuest.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\"><\/p>\n<p>We knew we had something special &#8211; a way to remove some of the stress of planning a Disney vacation! And so MouseWatcher was born. Now anyone can use our service for a little extra help booking those hard to get reservations.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s how it works.<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\">Choose your restaurant<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Select the restaurant where you\u2019d like to eat during your Disney vacation. You can create alerts for the most popular restaurants, including Be Our Guest in Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom and Chef Mickey\u2019s in the Walt Disney World Contemporary Resort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\">Choose your dates &amp; times<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Select up to three dates that will fit your schedule, and choose whether you\u2019d like a breakfast, lunch, or dinner reservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\">Relax!<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete your purchase and MouseWatcher will immediately begin watching for available tables matching your request &#8211; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\">Book and enjoy<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>As soon as we find a matching reservation, we\u2019ll send an instant notification to your email address. Simply click the link in the email to complete the booking process on Disney\u2019s website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ll receive a notification each time MouseWatcher finds an available reservation matching your alert. But you\u2019ll only receive a maximum of one alert for each time slot every 24 hours &#8211; so you won\u2019t be overwhelmed with duplicate alerts for the same reservation time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to MouseWatcher &#8211; your best way to get the most amazing Disney dining reservations!
