    Currently have resort reservations. Question.... Do we need to have a park reservation before we can make a dinner reservation. We would prefer to get dinner reservations lined out and then get park reservations.

    Hi Duane,
    It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I welcome you to planDisney. Now I invite you to relax, let us pull up reservation availability, as we proudly plan your Walt Disney World Resort vacation.

    My family also plans with our stomachs, Duane, and I'm bubbling like Mrs. Potts as I share that you may, indeed, reserve your dining reservations before your Park Pass reservations. Advance dining reservations may be made online or in the My Disney Experience Mobile App beginning at 6:00 a.m. up to 60 days in advance. Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel may make reservations for the duration of their stay, up to ten days. With a late March arrival, your time has come! When trying to make reservations at popular dining locations like Cinderella's Royal Table at Magic Kingdom park or Le Cellier at EPCOT, you're likely to have the most success if you can be flexible with your dates and/or mealtimes. If you're still not finding the reservation you hoped for, be open to new experiences and check back frequently as dining availability is constantly changing. 

    As soon as your dining reservations are mostly secure, I encourage you to check the theme park reservation availability calendar and make your Park Pass reservations. If plans change and you need to adjust your park days, please know you must cancel an existing park pass reservation and then reserve a new one.

    When checking in for a dining reservation at Walt Disney World Resort, you may conveniently do so in the My Disney Experience app. The online check-in process allows you to specify the makeup and needs of your party, including dietary requests and celebrations.

    Thank you for being our Guest here at planDisney. While your trip countdown's not slowing, let us help you, we'll keep going.

    Course by course,
    Jennifer
