Hi Nette,
Thanks so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I love chatting with a fellow planner and I can already tell you will have a great time at Walt Disney World.
You may begin making your
Advance Dining Reservations as soon as 180 prior to your date of arrival. If you have a room reservation at a
Disney Resort Hotel and need to change it, this will not affect your dining reservations as the two are not otherwise connected. Just remember, if the dates of your trip change, you will need to reschedule your dining reservations for your new dates.
I definitely understand wanting to get the best deal. If you do see a
Special Offer that applies to your dates, make sure to call as soon as possible as these rooms tend to go quickly.
Wishing you a magical vacation, Nette. Hope to see you real soon!
Andrea U.
