Hiya, Karen!
Welcome Home and welcome back to planDisney. How exciting that you are planning to visit Walt Disney World Resort soon. I always love helping fellow Disney Vacation Club Members with questions about their Disney vacation.
It sounds like you have some
Disney Dining in mind! The thematic dining at Walt Disney World sure adds even more pixie dust to the Disney experience, and it's one of my favorite parts of our Disney vacation.
Karen, the date by which you can make your Advance Dining Reservations is tied to whether or not you are staying in a Disney Resort Hotel. Guests staying at a Disney Resort Hotel can make Advance Dining Reservations beginning 60 days from their check-in date, for the entirety of their stay (up to 10 days.) It is one of the benefits for
Disney Resort Guests.Now, Disney Guests not staying at a Disney Resort can make Advance Dining Reservations 60 days prior to the date on which they would like to dine. This means that if you are not staying at a Disney Resort Hotel and you are planning to book multiple reservations, you will only be able to do this 60 days in advance of each date on which you plan to dine. Unfortunately, we do not receive any dining reservation benefit as Disney Vacation Club Members.
Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members (those eligible for Member Extras) may receive discounts on select dining. I always recommend asking at each restaurant to see if they offer a Disney Vacation Club Member discount. If they do, you will need to show your Digital Member Card to receive the discount, but it is one of the ways you can add some extra pixie dust to your wallet. You can see the current list of
Member Benefits and discounts here.I hope this helps you, Karen! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, stop back here to see me, and I'll be so happy to help you.
Magically Yours,
Keri
