How It Works
1. Pick your table
Choose the restaurant, date, party size, and the meal period or time window you want. Any reservable restaurant at Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort works — including character meals and lounges — plus the restaurants inside Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
2. We watch Disney's system
For every date someone is watching, the Reservation Monitor checks Disney's availability about every 10 minutes, day and night. Openings show up at all hours, and many are gone again by the next check.
3. Book before anyone else
When a check finds an opening, the push notification goes out within seconds, plus an email, with a direct link to book on Disney's site. You complete the booking in your own Disney account.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast are the dining alerts?
For the dates people are watching, the Reservation Monitor checks Disney's reservation system about every 10 minutes, day and night. When a check finds a time that matches your restaurant, date, time window and party size, the push notification goes out within seconds, plus an email, on every plan including free.
Does it book the reservation for me?
No. When a table opens we alert you immediately with a link to Disney's official booking page, and you complete the reservation yourself in your My Disney Experience account. We never log into your Disney account.
Is it really free?
Yes — every RopeDrop account includes 10 dining alerts with push and email notifications, no payment details required. Paid tiers raise the limit to 25–50 alerts.
Which restaurants can I watch?
Every Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort restaurant that accepts reservations — table service, character dining, signature dining, and reservable lounges like Oga's Cantina, Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, and Blue Bayou Restaurant — plus the restaurants inside Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea (up to 8 guests). Search by name when you create an alert; if you open the Reservation Monitor from a trip, the search automatically scopes to your resort's restaurants.
When do cancellations usually appear?
At all hours. In our own tracking of Walt Disney World restaurants, new openings are spread across the day with no reliable best time to look, and many are gone again by the next check. That is why an alert that keeps watching works better than refreshing by hand.
What is the 60+10 day booking rule?
Disney dining reservations open 60 days before the dining date, and Disney resort guests can book up to 10 additional days beyond the 60-day mark — covering their whole stay at once. Our booking guide walks through the whole process with real availability data. If you missed your window, that's exactly what dining alerts are for.
Does it work for Disneyland?
Yes — dining alerts cover Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort (Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the resort hotels), and the restaurants inside Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Open the Reservation Monitor from a Disneyland or Tokyo trip and the restaurant search will automatically show only that resort's restaurants.
How does this compare to MouseWatcher, MouseDining, or WDW Passport?
They run the same kind of alert service. The short version: we're free to start and include push notifications and a full trip planner; MouseWatcher covers more international parks. See the full, honest breakdown on our Disney dining alert services compared page.
