## What is Stakeout?

Stakeout notifies you when reservations at your favorite Disney park restaurants and experiences become available.

Popular restaurants at Disney parks are booked fast. But when plans change, reservations open up. With Stakeout, set alerts for specific restaurants, dates, and times and we will notify you when we find availability. Whether you're planning months ahead or looking for a same-day reservation, Stakeout has your back.

Features:
• Instant Start: Download and start your Stakeout right away! A simple login is recommended, but not required.
• Immediate Alerts: Get push notifications as soon as availability is found.
• Quick Booking: Tap the notification or link in the message to reserve through the Disney parks app or website.
• Basic & Premium: Use the free version for one Stakeout at a time. Upgrade for multiple active Stakeouts and more.

Stakeout supports all reservable dining and bookable experiences at Disney World and Disneyland parks and resorts.

### 1/5 — Canceled

*2026-08-15, version 7.0.1*

I canceled my premium membership and I keep being charged!

### 5/5 — Game Changer!

*2026-05-16, version 6.1.0*

This app is a game changer!  I used it to get into 2 restaurants in one weekend that I’ve been trying to get into for a year!  
I can’t believe how easy it was to use and how fast I got my reservations!

### 1/5 — Used to be great now it sucks

*2026-05-10, version 6.1.0*

We used to use this app twice. A year when we would go to Disneyworld and it would work great. Now I even with the paid subscription we get notifications late and even we we do get a notification the link takes us to the correct page but now we have to reselect the time and date. So by the time I am logged in the reservation is gone. Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-03, version 6.1.0*

Downloaded this app. Paid for it. Within 60 days and says I’m not. App is a rip off.

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2026-04-15, version 6.1.0*

Thanks for letting me know when Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointments became available!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-04-12, version 6.1.0*

Awesome! This works perfectly. It seems to search every couple minutes. I love that you get one free search. I will definitely use again and would definitely pay for the upgrade if I was looking for several reservations.

### 2/5 — So far a bust

*2026-04-04, version 6.1.0*

As soon as I get the alert that my date and time are available, I immediately try to book it but every time it says the date isn’t available .. is this a speed contest amongst hundreds of people? Why doesn’t your date and time get held at least a minute or two??

### 4/5 — Works well

*2026-03-28, version 6.1.0*

I was able to get reservations at Blue Bayou last time.  It is really important to have notifications turned on.  You may have to go directly to the Disney app to make the reservation.

### 5/5 — Helpful planning tool

*2026-03-22, version 6.1.0*

Was able to snag hard to get resys with no stress!

### 5/5 — Reservation!

*2026-03-21, version 6.1.0*

I was able to get a last minute reservation at Sci-fi!
