    Ok today is the 24th of September but when I attempt to make a dinner reservation for November 24th to sc-fi threather at Hollywood Studios I’m not able to make reservation because the date is not available yet. we will be staying off Disney property.

    Hey there, Richard!

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question this morning. I’m excited to hear about your upcoming November visit and happy to help ensure all your dining plans go according to... well, plan.

    My family dined at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant for the first time a few years back, and safe to say my kids have been thinking about it ever since. We loved watching the retro-style film clips at our car table and, of course, sipping on delicious milkshakes as we enjoyed our burgers and fries. I totally understand why you’d want to secure that reservation for your upcoming trip.

    Advanced dining reservations can be made 60 days ahead of your visit. Guests of Disney Resort Collection hotels can book dining for their length of stay (up to 10 days) at the 60-day mark. Offsite guests can book day by day, as each day reaches the 60-day mark.

    I took a quick look at the calendar and noticed that 60 days before your November 24th arrival is actually Friday, September 25. So, no need to worry that the restaurant's availability hasn’t opened yet- you’re just one day ahead of schedule! Hop back online or use the My Disney Experience app beginning at 6 AM EST tomorrow (Friday, the 25th), and you should be able to book available openings. You can continue reviewing dining availability one day at a time as you plan meals through the rest of your visit. 

    I hope this helped! If you have additional questions or need restaurant recommendations, please come back and let us know. 

    Wishing you a delicious visit! 

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
