Hello there, Stephen!
A warm welcome to planDisney. We're delighted you've stopped by with an excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question!
Oh boy... you've just reached a very magical milestone. I'd be happy to help you understand your booking timeline for dining and Enchanting Extras Collection reservations!
Stephen, I love a good "split stay." It allows you to experience two unique Disney Resort hotels and all they have to offer! From the delectable dining options to the recreational opportunities, staying at multiple resorts during the same Walt Disney World Resort vacation is always exciting. Guests may make dining and
Enchanting Extras Collection reservations for their vacations beginning 60 days before their arrivals, and Disney Resort hotel Guests can make bookings for their length of stay (up to 10 nights) However, since your Resort hotel reservations are separate bookings at two locations with different confirmation numbers, you'll have two separate booking windows. You're already within your initial
60-day window, so I recommend hopping on the Walt Disney World Resort website or
My Disney Experience mobile app and securing some bookings today!
I typically try to book extremely popular dining experiences during the end of our vacations, Stephen. That's because availability is generally greater the further into one's booking window. So, if you aren't seeing great availability for the first part of your initial stay, I encourage you to seek reservations closer to the end of your stay and work backward from there!
I hope this information helps you to secure some magical meals, Stephen. If you have any additional vacation planning questions ahead of your visit, you're always welcome to stop back by
planDisney anytime. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
