This summer, a new update for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland allowed guests to use a similar calendar as used to make Theme Park reservations to allow guests to check dining availability over multiple days.

This was a great change, but soon this flopped when a huge technical glitch resulted once Beak and Barrel dining reservations were available.

As Disney prepared to open Advanced Dining Reservations again, they made a BIG change. When guests attempt to make an Advanced Dining Reservation on the app, they are redirected to the Walt Disney World website. Thankfully, this later changed.

Now Walt Disney World is making a new change for dining reservations. For the first time, advanced dining reservations will be available for Wailulu Bar & Grill.

Wailulu Bar & Grill is located at the new Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows! This is the new DVC area at the Polynesian. You can read about it HERE.

Since it first opened in December 2024, it has simply been available for walk-up reservations, but this will soon change.

On the Walt Disney World website, the Wailulu Bar & Grill will open for advanced dining reservations on December 3, 2025, with the earliest reservation date on December 4, 2025.

Disney guests are divided on this news, with many feeling that this will now increase the popularity of what was first designed to be a casual walk-up pool bar and grill.
