Hello Brittany, and thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I am so happy to hear that you are planning to visit the Walt Disney World Resort next year. I get excited when the time comes to finally make my Advanced Dining Reservations because I know that my trip is only 180 days away. Anyone can make dining reservations, but guests staying at Disney Resort Hotels can make their reservations for the entire length of their trip.
Reservations can be made online starting at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time or at 7:00 a.m. by phone by calling (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463.
I am happy to tell you that you are within your 180-day window to make your reservations. You can begin making your reservations today! There are hundreds of restaurants and dining experiences to choose from within Disney Theme Parks, Disney Resort Hotels, and Disney Springs. Reservations are recommended at table service, character dining, and dinner show events. You do not need to make reservations at quick service locations. However, if you are looking to minimize your wait in line at those eateries, you may want to try mobile ordering. You can save time waiting in line to place your order by choosing the mobile order option, available at select restaurants, through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. I hope that helps to answer your question. If you need any more help before you arrive, please come back and visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
