Chance of getting a table at The Edison

Each cell is measured on past weekday dates (Sep 5, 2026 to Nov 3, 2026): if you had started watching for a party of 2 that many days before the date, how often did a table for that meal turn up before the meal? "If full" is the same chance on the dates the meal was already full when you started. Odds are a floor: we check each table every 1–4 hours, so short-lived openings can be missed. How the odds are defined.

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 Edison, 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: Oct 6, 2026–Nov 4, 2026.
