Hi there Candra, welcome to planDisney! I'd like to give you a warm Disney Vacation Club welcome, I'm happy to answer your question about dining reservations today!
I have good news for you, your booking window is fast approaching.
Advanced dining reservations can be made 60 days in advance and Guests who are staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel can book their dining reservations for their entire length of stay (up to 10 days).
Get your fingers ready to start typing when your booking window opens at 6:00 AM EST 60 days before you check into your Disney Vacation Club Home-away-from-home. Make sure you are logged into your
My Disney Experience Mobile app a few minutes before 6:00 AM EST and once the minute hand strikes zero, it's time to fly!
My strategy is to try and book starting from the last day and book forwards from there. To search dining locations in the app, tap on the search icon at the bottom of your screen. From here, enter the size of your party followed by your choice of date and time.
Tip: Have a credit card on file in your account since one is required for confirmation of booking. There are also a few
Character meals that require payment in full when completing a booking.
Hakuna Matata (it means no worries) if you aren't able to secure a reservation for a specific dining experience, Guests change their minds and more times may become available.
One of my family's favorite dining experiences is the Character breakfast at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera, an exclusive storybook dining experience on the rooftop of the stunning
Disney's Riviera Resort. It's a delicious breakfast where you'll be visited by Disney friends - Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck (characters are subject to change).
Candra, I hope this information is useful for your vacation planning. I hope you are able to reserve the dining experiences your heart desires! If you have any more questions, feel free to visit
planDisney again.
See ya real soon,
Candace
