    How far in advance of your cruise can a specialty dining reservation be made?

    Ahoy, Diane!

    Welcome back to planDisney! The premium dining options are such a treat and always a highlight of our family's sailings, so I completely understand wanting to secure that perfect reservation as soon as possible. Whether you're dreaming of an elegant dinner at Palo Steakhouse, savoring every course at Enchanté, or enjoying another adults-only dining experience, it's never too early to start planning your culinary adventure.

    Premium dining, along with other bookable experiences like Port Adventures, Senses Spa treatments, beverage tastings, and other onboard activities, can be reserved as soon as your activities booking window opens for your sailing. The booking window varies based on your Castaway Club status or whether you're sailing Concierge. Here are the current booking windows:
    • First-Time Guests - 75 days prior to sail date
    • Silver Castaway Club Member - 90 days prior to sail date
    • Gold Castaway Club Member - 105 days prior to sail date
    • Platinum Castaway Club Member - 120 days prior to sail date
    • Pearl Castaway Club Member - 123 days prior to sail date
    • Concierge Guests - 130 days prior to sail date

    To check the exact date your booking window opens, I recommend hopping into your reservation in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and scrolling down to the "My Plans" card. You should see the date listed there so you'll know exactly when it's time to make your selections. One important thing to remember is that your cruise must be paid in full before your booking window opens in order to reserve activities and dining experiences.

    My crew likes to have a game plan ready before our booking window opens. Some dining experiences can be quite popular, so having your wish list prepared ahead of time can help you move faster than Dash Parr!

    I hope this helps as you prepare to reserve a delicious dining experience worthy of Lumiere's highest compliments! With a little planning and a sprinkle of Disney magic, you'll be ready when your booking window opens and one step closer to enjoying an unforgettable meal at sea.

    Sea ya real soon as the days grow longer and the countdowns grow shorter,
