Hi Coleen!
Welcome to planDisney!
I am excited to see that your trip is just around the corner - now that dining reservations can be made 60 days in advance, you know you are almost ready to go! Dining reservations can be made
online or by using your My Disney Experience mobile app, from 6.00am (ET), but I recommend you start trying around 5.45am. As Walt Disney World restaurants are continuing to operate on a limited capacity it may be more challenging to secure the exact time and date you want, but keep trying and be as flexible as possible. If your heart is set on one particular location but is showing no availability, I would urge you to continue to look for an opening as guests do cancel reservations, particularly once they have arrived on vacation.
Mobile ordering is also an option, as this has now been extended to select table-service restaurants. You would use your My Disney Experience app to select your restaurant, preferred time, choice of food and make your payment, all before you arrive at the restaurant. It's so convenient!
As you have two Disney hotel reservations you will have two 'arrival' dates and will therefore need to make two sets of dining reservations. At 60 days in advance you can book for your arrival date + 10 days. Looking at your arrival date, your first reservations can be made now. Fingers crossed you can secure all your favourite places!
We may need a little more considered and careful planning, but our vacations to Walt Disney World Resort can still be a magical experience. Please read this information about
Returning to a World of Magic, and
Dining: Know Before You Go, and keep watching the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest official updates.
Please come back and visit us again to ask as many questions as you like! We are always happy to help you plan your vacation.
