Hi Cathy,
Thank You for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel! How exciting, your first trip to Walt Disney World Resort! I'm sure you will absolutely fall in love with the magic of Disney and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Guests with Walt Disney World Resort are able to book Advanced Dining Reservations for the entire length of their stay starting at 180 days prior to the first day of your vacation. Your dining reservations will not be affected, unless you have to modify your vacation dates to qualify for the free dining promotion. Go ahead and make your dining reservations! You can book your
dining reservations online or by calling (407) 939-3463. If a free dining promotion does become available, a Disney agent will be more than happy to assist you to modify your reservation to include the promotion, if it is more than 45 days prior to your vacation. To contact a Disney agent please call (407) 939-7675. Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that there will be a free dining offer, but I do recommend you keep checking the
Special Offers page that can be found on the Walt Disney World website.
I hope you have a wonderful first vacation at Walt Disney World Resort. Sending you extra pixie dust hoping you will secure a free dining promotion for August! If you have any other questions, please come and visit the Moms Panel again. I would be happy to answer any other questions you have.
Happy planning!
Stephanie
