Hi Angela! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I bet you are getting very excited for your trip to the Walt Disney World Resort later this year. Just the thought of a
November visit with all of the Christmas decorations in place has me swooning! The most wonderful time of the year in "The Most Magical Place on Earth" sounds pretty perfect to me!
In my experience, switching to a dining package instead of a normal
dining reservation is very simple when it is this far in advance. I have done this with the Candlelight Processional Dining Package before. You have a couple of options for changing to the
Rivers of Light Dining Package and
Fantasmic! Dining Package. When I changed to a dining package, I went to the dining package page (I have linked both for you above) and looked for availability at our restaurant of choice online. Once I found it, I made the reservation,
then canceled our previous dining reservation. This way, I had our new one secured prior to canceling our other reservation. It worked very well for me! You can also try calling
Disney Dining instead at (407) 939-1947 and asking them to make the change for you over the phone. Have a pen and paper handy to jot down the confirmation number if you decide to go this route.
I hope you are able to get the reservations you want, Angela! Please let us know if you have any other questions. Happy dining!
