    How do I see the dates more than 180 days out in order to make dining reservations for the park that has Extra Magic Hours? I saw Missy's answer to this, but her directions aren't working to see dates 190 days out.

    Hi Michelle,

    I'm so glad that you've been using the Disney Parks Moms Panel to help you plan your upcoming trip and that you came back to ask us for help on something that was confusing!

    Using a little trick in My Disney Experience to help Guests find park hours and Extra Magic Hours up to 190 days in advance of their trips was always one of my favorite tips to share with Guests. However, some improvements were made to My Disney Experience last fall to make things more user-friendly, and while I LOVE most of the changes, my workaround no longer works. Without that, we'll need to use the park hours calendar to see the official schedule and Extra Magic Hours, and that is usually updated 180 days in advance. You may notice that sites like touringplans.com list park hours further out, but they are based off of previous year's calendars and are estimates. Since park hours are always subject to change, my best advice is to go ahead and make all of your dining reservations when your window opens up 180 days in advance, then keep an eye on the calendar as each new day is added so that you may edit any dining reservations if need be. I'm sending some pixie dust that you'll be able to find the perfect reservations for your trip and that all of your plans will come together to make your Disney dreams come true!

    Please let us know if we can help with anything else, Michelle, and have a truly magical vacation!
