Hiya, Samantha! Welcome to planDisney.
I'm so excited to hear that you're making plans to visit
Walt Disney World Resort in January! I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year that at The Most Magical Place on Earth. The best part is that you'll still be able to experience everything that
The World's Most Magical Celebration has to offer, including the
Beacons of Magic that light up in the night in spectacular ways! But first, let's talk about your trip – especially dining!
Samantha, this is a great question. Guests can make
advance dining reservations 60 days in advance, even without a
vacation package reservation. So the answer is yes, you will be able to make dining reservations 60 days before each day of your trip. However, Guests who are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can make advance reservations 60 days prior to their check-in date for the length of their trip (up to 10 days). Because of this, Guests who have a current reservation at a Disney Resort hotel can often select dining reservations further in advance, giving them a bit of an advantage.
Like you, I'm waiting to hear more details about
Disney Military Salute Tickets for 2023. Until then, I have a few next steps you can take! I would recommend that you make a room-only reservation for your desired Disney Resorts Collection hotel while you wait for more information about next year's Disney Military Salute Tickets. This way, you'll be able to make your advance dining reservations for the length of your trip! If and when the
Special Offers for Eligible Service Members are released for 2023, you will be able to purchase your Disney Military Salute tickets and ask a Cast Member if the
military discount on select rooms can be applied to your Disney Resort hotel reservation!
Once you purchase your tickets, be sure that you
link them to your
My Disney Experience account and make your theme park reservations using the
Disney Park Pass system. And if you have any other questions, please visit us again!
You've got a friend in me,
Michelle
