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.

Does SupaPark book Chefs de France for me?

No. SupaPark only watches availability and alerts you. It never books, holds or pays for a reservation; you book the table yourself in My Disney Experience.

When can I book Chefs de France, 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.
