What it means for your trip
Since Hurly-Burly will not offer Advance Dining Reservations, you cannot secure a table in My Disney Experience ahead of time. Crucially, if you are not staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, this means you cannot use a dining reservation here to park a vehicle at the resort. You will need to arrive via Disney transportation—such as the Disney Skyliner, Friendship Boats, or walking from EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios—or use a ride-share service. Families traveling with children should plan to visit for the afternoon trivia and games, as the venue becomes strictly restricted to adults at 9:00 p.m.
