Hi Sharon, thanks for bringing your question to us here at planDisney. Disney dining forms a large part of our magical Walt Disney World adventures, so I understand you want to get your must-do experiences booked.
Advanced Dining Reservations are open for all Guests 60 days before your arrival. A handy feature in
My Disney Experience, listed just under the Dining section of your 'Plans and Tickets,' tells you the exact date you can begin to book. Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can book dining reservations, starting 60 days out, for their entire trip (up to 10 days), whereas Guests staying offsite need to make Dining Reservations separately (or within a shorter than 60-day window). All Guests must have a valid ticket and Park Pass Reservation to dine inside the Theme Parks.
For example, let's say you would like to book
Garden Grill Restaurant at EPCOT and the
Hollywood Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios for the next day. Assuming you have a valid ticket and Park Pass Reservation, you can book Garden Grill 60 days before arrival and Brown Derby at 59 days out. Rest assured, all Guests are welcome to make dining reservations in advance, and I hope you manage to secure each delectable dining experience you fancy.
Sharon, all you need to do now is curate that dining list so you're poised to get the best table as soon as reservations open. Bon appetite!
Please pop back any time with any other Walt Disney World questions. Have a magical Disney day, Louise.
