Hi Amanda and welcome to planDisney!
Dining is one of my favorite things to do at Walt Disney World. There are so many fantastic restaurants to choose from inside and outside of the theme parks.
Disney Dining Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance, so for your arrival date, that is May 7th. You can make those reservations online starting at 6:00 am, but sometimes restaurants start loading at 5:45 am, so I like to start looking with that 15 minute lead. If you are staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you can make all of your dining reservations for your stay (up to 10 days) at that 60 day point.
My preferred way of making dining reservations is through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Click the "+" button on the bottom middle of the home page and then click on "Check Dining Availability". You can then search by date, number of guests and time.
If you find that your top choice restaurants are not available, keep checking! Guests are often changing and canceling plans, so the restaurant availability is constantly changing. If there is a particular restaurant that I have my heart set on, I check the app every day, throughout the day. Sometimes it requires a little bit of patience (and pixie dust) to make all of my plans fall into place.
Please stop back by if you have any additional questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
