The hardest Disney World reservations, ranked
Availability frequency = the share of our successful availability scans (hourly, all restaurants, party sizes 2–8, the next 60 bookable dates) that found at least one open table. Only restaurants that Disney's reservation system offers, or that we verified accept reservations, are ranked; quick-service and unverified venues are excluded rather than scored as 0%. Ranked rows need at least 120 successful scans across 5 scan days. Observed scans only — no predictions, no extrapolation; weekday cells count the weekday of the scanned reservation date across all lead times in the window. The percentage is an observed availability frequency across our scans, not your chance of booking.

What's not listed
1 quick-service and other venues that do not take reservations and 282 venues we could not verify as reservation products are excluded — they are not scored as 0%.
Can Mickey Alerts get me a table at one of these?
Set a dining alert and we watch for cancellations around the clock, then text you the moment a table opens.
How this is measured
How is this Disney World reservation-difficulty ranking measured?
Mickey Alerts scans Disney's own dining availability for every restaurant, hourly, at party sizes 2–8 across the next 60 bookable dates. Each restaurant's score is simply the share of those successful scans that found at least one open table — a measured frequency with its sample size shown, not an editorial guess.
Why do some restaurants show "not enough scans to rank"?
A rate computed from a thin sample would be false precision. A restaurant needs at least 120 successful scans across 5 distinct scan days to be ranked; below either floor it is listed with its raw numbers but excluded from the ranking until enough scans accrue.
Why aren't quick-service restaurants listed?
Quick-service restaurants and other venues that do not take reservations have no table to find, so scoring them 0% would be misleading. Venues we could not verify as reservation products — not offered by Disney's reservation system in the window and not confirmed on Disney's restaurant page — are excluded rather than scored.
Can Mickey Alerts get me a table at one of these?
Yes — set a dining alert and we watch for cancellations around the clock, then text you the moment a table opens. You choose the restaurant, date, party size, and time window yourself; nothing is created until you confirm the alert. The percentage is an observed availability frequency across our scans, not your personal chance of booking.
