HI Melinda,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for sending us your great question about
Advanced Dining Reservations. It looks like you will be visiting Walt Disney World Resort later on this year, what a great way to enjoy the holiday season!
Guests who are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel do have the opportunity to book their Advanced Dining Reservations 60 days in advance for the length of stay. Don't worry, Melinda, even off property you are still able to make your Advanced Dining Reservations 60 days in advance, however you will have to be a little more patient and book day by day as each booking window opens. On my reservation day, I like to be ready to go when the Reservations open, which can be as early as 6:00 am, logged into
My Disney Experience so I can make my reservations as quickly as possible. Given that you are visiting during a busy time of year, Reservations will go more quickly than usual.
Sending some extra Pixie Dust your way in hope that you are able to make all of your Advanced Dining Reservations, Melinda. If you have any other questions as your visit approaches, please come back and visit
planDisney again, we are always happy to help.
