Hi, Teresa!
Thanks for bringing this great question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm happy to help clear up some of the confusion about when you can begin making your
Advance Dining Reservations.
The booking window varies depending on whether you are staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel or at an off-property location. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can begin making your Advance Dining Reservations 180 days before check-in
plus up to 10 days of your on-property stay. This means that Disney Resort hotel Guests who are staying for 10 days can make reservations for the last day of their trip 190 days in advance, rather than just 180 days in advance.
If you are staying off-property, you can begin making Advance Dining Reservations 180 days prior to the start of your stay, but only on a day-by-day basis. If you want to make reservations for every day of your trip, you will have to do so 180 days out from each day of your stay.
You can make your dining reservations through
My Disney Experience or by calling
Disney Dining Reservations.
I hope this helps with your planning, Teresa. Please stop back and see us again real soon with any other questions. Wishing you a magical vacation!
Erin
