Welcome back to planDisney, Michelle!
You must be so excited for your upcoming visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth - and to become an official
Walt Disney World Annual Pass Holder! It sounds like you'll be spending a whole bunch of time in the parks (lucky you!), which means you'll have lots of time for my favorite Disney World activity:
dining!
I've got some good news for you, Michelle: you don't need a park ticket to make Advance Dining Reservations in Disney World. If you're staying on-site at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can make your dining reservations 60 days before check-in, for the entire length of your stay (up to 10 nights). All other guests can make reservations 60 days in advance of the date you intend to dine. Best of all, you can snag your spot through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App or through the Disney World website, with or without a park ticket!
While some of my favorite spots in Disney World are traditional table-service restaurants (I
never miss out on breakfast at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera!), there is some seriously good food to be had at the lounges and
quick-service locations throughout the resort. The best part? Many of these don't require a reservation at all, or can be accessed through a
walk-up waitlist.
I hope this helps, Michelle! I'm wishing you plenty of magic and pixie dust on your upcoming stay. If you have any other planning questions, you know where to find me right here at
planDisney!
Magic awaits,
Allison
