Hi Henna! I am so glad you came to planDisney! Not only because I love answering questions about
Disney Dining, but more importantly because I think I can help with your planning needs! A big part of helping you with your planning needs is understanding the difference between staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel or staying off-property. Let me explain with a little more detail!
Guests who are staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel can book their Disney Dining reservations 60 days in advance (for up to 10 days of your vacation)! Given your October 6, 2023 arrival date, you can begin making your dining reservations on August 7, 2023! That’s coming so soon! As long as you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can make all of your reservations for the duration of your vacation (up to 10 days). This is a great perk of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel! This means you only need to wake up once at 6:00 AM to make all your vacation dining reservations!
On the other hand, if you are staying off-property, you must make your dining reservations 60 days in advance for each day that you plan to dine. While you don’t necessarily have to get up every at 6:00 AM, your chances are better at getting a reservation the earlier that you try to make your reservations. But you can make reservations at any time of day!
I hope this information is helpful as you continue dreaming of your magical fall getaway!
Happy Planning!
Jonathan
