    Hi Kathy! Welcome to planDisney!

    Sounds like you are planning a visit to the World Disney World Resort during The World's Most Magical Celebration. I hope you get to experience the two new nighttime spectaculars Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom Park and Harmonious at EPCOT. I have particularly enjoyed Beacons of Magic bringing Disney icons to shimmering EARidescent life!

    The good news is Advance Dining Reservations are available to all Walt Disney World guests for up to 60 days. As a perk, Walt Disney World Resort Hotel guests may add an additional 10 days of dining reservations from their check-in date. Here is the policy as stated in the Frequently Asked Questions. Most restaurant reservations open up at 5:45 AM Eastern Time on their available date.

    You can make your dining reservations online under your My Disney Experience account. Hover over the "My Disney Experience" and choose "Reserve Dining." In the My Disney Experience Mobile App click on the bottom "+" and select "Check Dining Availability." For both options enter your party size, date, and requested time. Options available will be populated. If you continue to have any issues, try utilizing the chat feature in My Disney Experience to connect with a friendly Cast Member.

    In my experience, I tend to have good luck snagging hard to get reservations within 24-48 hours due to late cancellation penalties. I am recommending the newly opened Steakhouse 71 at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Here is a little secret. You can walk into the lounge for first-come-first-serve availability and enjoy the full menu.

    Keeping it Magical,
    Cindy
