Still booked?

Keep the alert running. Cancellations keep freeing tables right up to the day itself; an alert checks for you around the clock.
Be flexible. A different time, meal or party size often opens sooner than the exact slot you want.

When can I book The Cake Bake Shop, and is there a cancellation fee?

Walt Disney World dining reservations open 60 days before your date at 6:00 AM Eastern in My Disney Experience. Many Walt Disney World table-service restaurants list a cancellation policy with a per-person fee for a no-show or a late cancellation; the restaurant’s own policy is shown when you book.

How we measure this

SupaPark continuously checks Walt Disney World dining availability. An "opening" is logged when a restaurant that was showing no bookable time shows one again; repeated readings of the same state are not double-counted. Counts are what our collectors saw, not every cancellation that happened — a slot that opened and was booked between checks is missed, so the true number is at least this high. Times are when we saw the opening, Eastern time. Window: Sep 21, 2026–Oct 20, 2026.
