Yes, September is probably the worst month to try and attempt a walk-up due to free dining!!Sept the parks are not as busy but usually free dining is happening so your chances are very slim you will get anything by walk up at either park especially at MK!! You may really late in the evening but with kids you might not want to because they may not want to wait that long to eat, etc. Please consider making reservations! I would never chance it unless you want to do all quick service dining and no table service!
Depends on when you are going. If during busy periods, the chance of walking up to any table service restaurant in the MK is slim to none (because there are so few table service options). You may get lucky in Epcot, as Nine Dragons (China), Restaurant Marrakesh (Morocco) and Biergarten (Germany) can usually accommodate walk ups, even during crowded times.
I am traveling with four kids and hesitant to make dining reservations. Which restaurants in MK and Epcot will I be able to get same day reservations that are decent?
I will say, with our two-year olds, yes we could, in theory, do whatever we want and eat at California Grill for example, but if the boys are having a bad day, we would have a bad meal. Other days, they'd be wonderful. But, because there is no guarantee, we just don't book signatures. In a theme park restaurant, if the kids don't behave, it's not a huge deal because there are lots of poorly-behaved kids. We wouldn't enjoy the meal very much, though...I may get bashed for this and I swear I am not bashing the OP but I just can't understand children dictating the whole trip. I kept mine rested and hydrated with no high sugar treats. They never dictated, by their moods, what we did or didn't do. If they tried it all it took was "the look" and the straightened up quickly. Just my thoughts. Not throwing any shade because I know we all parent differently and each child is different.
