Hi Cynthia,
Welcome back to planDisney!
Looks like you have been doing some
practically perfect research! The Disney Parks Blog captured the
3 Disney Dining Tips That Are Total Timesavers in 2024. With these new changes, guests at
Disney Resorts Collection hotels will still be able to
book advanced dining reservations 60 days prior to their arrival date for up to 10 nights of their stay.
As you continue to make your plans, I hope you have narrowed your restaurant choices. Prior to each trip, my family sits down together and prioritizes the dining locations we want to visit. Then, I take a look at our planned park days and decide when we want to eat at each restaurant. For more popular locations, I have a few options just in case there is no availability on one of the days we would prefer.
If you have not yet experienced
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera, I suggest it for breakfast. The characters are delightful and the views from the restaurant are gorgeous. If you are following the
Disney Parks Blog, I hope you saw that
1900 Park Fare is scheduled to reopen on April 10th. My girls and I are super excited to visit this character dining experience on our visit in May!
Cynthia, I also hope you are considering a
Disney Dining Plan. I always check the math to make sure a Dining Plan makes the most sense for us and it does. When calculating, I also take into account the drinks we would purchase separately if not on a Dining Plan. And we check the menus for pricing at each restaurant - to do so, currently, just go to the restaurant's home page and click on
View Menu. Sending a little dining reservation pixie dust as you finalize those plans!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
