Hi Mark and welcome to planDisney!
You will be visiting Walt Disney World at a great time! May is so beautiful in Florida and it's ahead of schools being out for the summer, so you won't run into the summer break crowd.
Currently,
theme park reservations are required. Reservations are available into January of 2024 at this time. It is highly recommended that you make your park as early as possible because it is possible that your desired park will not be available the closer it gets to your trip. Since you are visiting in early May, you can make your reservations now as long as you have valid
theme park tickets.
Disney dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. If you have a certain restaurant that you would like to dine in, I suggest logging in to your
My Disney Experience account at that 60 day point to book your dining reservations. You can also make dining reservations on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. I am really excited for
Roundup Rodeo BBQ to open next month at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. I just made a dinner reservation for my family this morning, so I'm really looking forward to dining with Andy's toys from Toy Story next month.
Please stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
