Hello, Larry,
Thank you for sending your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm so happy to hear you are planning a trip to
Walt Disney World! To begin making dining reservations, they can be made when you are 180 days out. I often use the independent website pscalculator.net to help me know the exact date.
If you are staying at a Disney-owned resort, you may make 10 days worth of reservations at this time. I'd encourage you to start with the restaurants you want reservations at the most rather than looking chronologically. Reservations can be made
online starting at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard/Daylight Time or by phone (407-WDW-DINE) at 7:00 AM Eastern Standard/Daylight Time.
If you aren't staying at a Disney-owned resort, you'll need to make your reservations one day at a time when you are 180 days out for each individual date. If we can help with any further questions, please let us know. We are happy to help.
Wishing you a magical trip! -
Kara
