Hello, Amanda!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm happy to help you secure dining reservations ahead of your visit this summer.
Based on an arrival date of August 18, 2026, your
60-day advance dining reservation window should have opened on Friday, June 19, at approximately 6 am EST. Assuming your resort reservation is linked to your
My Disney Experience account, you should be able to book a reservation for your length of stay (up to 10 days) at this time.
I recommend double-checking that everything is linked on your end and then proceeding to
book your desired reservations online. While you'll need to reserve each meal individually, you aren't limited to just one reservation per day. Even if you have a
dining plan associated with your package, you can use those meal entitlements in any combination per day, until you've used them all.
My family visited last week and booked a healthy portion of
Table Service meals ahead of our arrival. We enjoyed breakfast at
The Cake Bake Shop Restaurant and dinner at
Trattoria al Forno, both located on Disney's BoardWalk, which made for a most delicious day. We also had 2 reservations scheduled for a date later in our visit, but ended up canceling our dinner plans as we were still too full from brunch. Most reservations can be modified or canceled online or using the My Disney Experience app, up to 2 hours before your arrival. However, select dining experiences have different policies, so I recommend
reviewing the cancellation details here for clarification. They'll also be noted in your confirmation email as you make each reservation.
Amanda, I hope this helps. If you still need assistance, I recommend
reaching out to the Dining Reservations team by phone. In the meantime, please come back and see us again with any additional planning questions. We're always happy to help!
Magic and memories,
Amy
