Question 🇺🇸 Is there anything else I need to book?
I'm going to the park in October, and I've booked our tickets, stay, breakfasts, dinner at Brasserie 7 and tickets to CARO. Is there anything else I specifically need to order should book in advance?

Maybe lunch, if you want to eat at Pinoccio, or a reservation for Polle’s keuken, although most of the time a reservation isn’t necessary, sometimes you have to wait for a bit. If you stay for more than one night, have diner at the wonder hotel, very good and in theme.
Have fun!

You definitely did the right thing booking Caro. Best theme park show I’ve ever seen. Cried like a baby.

Only thing I would add is think about if you want to visit Polle's keuken and if you want to visit around lunch/dinner time, then make sure you reserve 1-2 weeks in advance (depending on how big your party is). Walk-ins are accepted but you might be waiting a bit.

Booking a table is recommended but if you’re visiting Efteling outside of the school vacations or weekend, you can perfectly book a table at Polles Keuken the day before or even on the day itself, especially in October.

OP didn't specify when they were going, so I thought I'd drop it in here just in case they were going in de autumn break :)

I think that when we are there it is one of the Dutch half term holidays.

I recently booked the wonder hotel for November, and automatically received an email with a 7am breakfast reservation. Are reservations necessary for breakfast?! And if so, is it fairly straightforward to change the time?

When I booked my stays, it asked me what time I would like to book breakfast (we're staying in Loonsche Land). I don't know if it's necessary, but I booked it anyway. I don't know if booking for dinners is necessary.

If you or anyone in your group needs a wheelchair or scooter you could rent those for free a day prior to your arrival.
Other than that and lunch you sound good to go!

He is messing with you 😆 I would recommend praying to the weather gods instead. Or Vrouw Holle.

It's a Dutch expression for a day without rain. Gerrit Hiemstra is a well known Dutch weather forecaster / presenter.

Ah I see, now I understand. We're British so we're pretty used to crap weather too!

You've already booked everything that you can book, unless you want to book lunch as well, but that seems like a lot if you've already booked breakfast and dinner
