Hello there, Bonita!
A warm welcome to planDisney. We're delighted you've turned to us with a fantastic
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! I'm so excited to hear you've reached a very magical milestone in your holiday planning process: you're within the
60-day window for advance dining reservations. I'd be happy to help you secure some marvelous meal bookings for your upcoming vacation!
Bonita, Guests may make dining reservations for their visits beginning 60 days before their scheduled arrivals, and Guests with
Disney Resort hotel reservations may make bookings for their entire length-of-stay, up to 10 nights. I'm sorry to hear you've encountered some difficulties in securing your dining reservations thus far. First, I recommend logging into your MyDisney account on the Walt Disney World Resort website and ensuring your Disney Resort hotel reservation is appropriately linked in
My Disney Experience. (If you don't see your Resort hotel booking listed, follow these steps to link your reservation to your account.) Once your Resort hotel reservation is linked, you should be able to view dining reservation availability for the duration of your stay (up to 10 nights).
To reach the dining reservation booking tool, hover over the "Things to Do" tab and select "
Make Reservations." Then, click the blue button on the right hand side of the page reading "
Check All Availability." Here, you'll enter your party size, desired date, and time of your dining reservation. You'll be redirected to a page showing all available bookings for your date range. If you still aren't seeing the dates of your stay available for booking, I recommend reaching out to the friendly Cast Members at the
Dining Reservations phone line for assistance.
Bonita, I do hope these suggestions help you get started with your dining reservation bookings. If you have any additional vacation planning questions, you're always welcome to revisit us here at
planDisney! Additionally, at the time of writing, we do have two wonderful active panelists (
Louise and
Sue) based in the U.K. who would be delighted to provide personalized recommendations to you. In the meantime, I'm sending you a dash of pixie dust and hoping you have a magical and memorable holiday at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
