Hello and welcome to planDisney, Gayle!
Thank you for stopping by with an excellent question. It is a pleasure to assist you as you plan a magical
Walt Disney World Resort adventure!
Making advance dining reservations is one of my favorite things to do while planning a vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth. There are so many unique and amazing restaurants to choose from that it is always a hard task to make up my mind about where to dine. My family likes returning to their favorite locations, like Teppan Edo and Biergarten Restaurant, but I always make sure to book a table at a restaurant we have never dined at before.
As you are aware, Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can
make dining reservations for their entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay) up to 60 days before their check-in date. You will only be able to make dining reservations for the whole duration of your second Disney Resort hotel reservation when you hit the 60-day mark for that booking. If you are unable to make reservations for a particular restaurant, do not give up. Other Guests may change their plans, so availability can change at any time. I also recommend talking to Cast Members at the entrance of the restaurant you wish to dine at to find out if they can take walk-ins on the date of your visit. To check reservation availability, be sure to keep an eye on the
My Disney Experience mobile app regularly.
I hope this information is helpful, Gayle. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
