Heigh ho, Joan!
We're so glad you decided to head off to planDisney with your question. I'm thrilled to hear about your family's upcoming visit and your husband's milestone celebration. I can't think of a more magical setting for a diamond birthday than alongside some actual gemstone miners at
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White.
My family journeyed into this enchanted spot for dinner a few summers ago, and we loved our interactions with Dopey, Grumpy, Snow White, and, of course, the very stylish and equally fabulous Evil Queen. I opted for the Magic Mirror's Slow-braised Pork Shank as my entree (which I loved), while my family savored the "Cottage" Beef Stroganoff and Royal Prime Rib Roast. My daughter, who's a less adventurous eater, chose the kid's menu chicken strips, which were served with the most adorable garden-fresh appetizer. Our meal was delicious from shared starters through dessert, and the setting truly sparkled! I think your group will agree the experience is the fairest of them all, no matter what you decide to order.
Advance dining reservations can be made 60 days ahead of your visit, so it's almost time to secure your plans. If you'll be staying at an eligible Disney Resort hotel, you can make reservations for your length of stay (up to 10 days) 60 days before your check-in date. If you'll be staying off-property, you can secure reservations day-by-day as the calendar reaches the 60-day mark. Based on an arrival date of November 27, your advance dining reservation window opens at 6 am EST on Monday, September 28, 2026. You should have access to book meals for your desired date of November 28th at that time with an eligible resort reservation. Otherwise, you can book dining for November 28th on Tuesday, September 29, and so on, through the remainder of your visit.
I took a quick look at the upcoming availability calendar and noted daily openings for a party of 6 through November 25. Most seemed to be later dining times, but I'm hopeful you'll have no trouble securing a table once your reservation window opens. I'd aim to
be online or use the
My Disney Experience app right as the clock strikes 6 am for the most availability, but if you are unable to snag your preferred meal time at first attempt, don't give up! Guest plans frequently change, so keep checking up until the date of your visit, as
cancelations can open up a table.
Joan, I hope this helps put you at ease, but if you have any additional questions or concerns, please come back and let us know. We're always ready to consult our magic mirrors or do a little digging to help guests. Wishing you an unforgettable visit!
Magic and memories,
Amy
