    When may I reserve dining for my stay commencing 12/01/2026?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Randy! 

    Thanks for sharing your question with us. There are so many things that make a Walt Disney World vacation magical. The rides, the shows, the characters, and, of course, the food! The amazing restaurants and snack options are part of what keeps my family coming back to Walt Disney World year after year. 

    Guests are able to make dining reservations 60 days in advance of their visit. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World hotel, then you’ll be able to make dining reservations for your entire length of stay (up to 10 days). Based on the dates you’ve provided, you can begin booking dining reservations on October 2, 2026. New reservations become available at approximately 6:00 AM (Eastern Time) each day, so be sure to set an alarm for that day. 

    Since you still have some time to put the finishing touches on your vacation itinerary, these are some of my favorite reservation-requiring restaurants at each theme park. 

    Magic Kingdom
    - Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen

    EPCOT
    - San Angel Inn Restaurante

    Hollywood Studios
    - Hollywood and Vine 

    Animal Kingdom
    - Tusker House 

    You can find a full list of all the Walt Disney World dining locations here. You can also see all the restaurants and make your reservations through the My Disney Experience app, so make sure that it’s downloaded to your mobile device before your booking date. 

    Randy, I hope you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World and that you manage to get all the reservations you’re looking for. Don’t hesitate to come back if you have more vacation planning questions. You’re as welcome as can be at planDisney. 

    Magical travels!
