Greetings Michelle and welcome to planDisney!
I just love planning a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation and researching the many
enchanting extras that can be booked by Guests. From a transformation for little ones into a Royal Princess at Magic Kingdom Park's
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to the
Behind the Seeds tour where you learn about the food grown right on site in the
EPCOT greenhouses and how it makes its way to the restaurants just steps away at the
Garden Grill Restaurant to the
Caring for Giants tour where Guests meet the elephants up close backstage at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park - the hardest part might be paring down my wishlist! The magical number to remember when booking experiences is 60: you can book 60 days from the date of check-in. Guests can either book online or via the
My Disney Experience Mobile app right at 6 AM EST.
Dining on-site is difficult if only for the fact it is so hard to choose where to eat! There are many choices for
Character Dining (my family’s favorite is eating breakfast at
Topolino’s Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera on the top floor of Disney’s Riviera Resort), themed restaurants such as
Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater Restaurant where you can eat in a car-shaped booth and watch movies on a big screen just like the real Drive-in and you might want to dine at an exquisite Signature Dining experience such at
Victoria and Albert’s at
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. There are dining selections to fit every Guest’s tastes, exploring the many restaurants is so fun! Dining reservations open at 6 AM EST 60 days before your check-in date and since you’re a Resort Guest, you’ll be able to book all of the dining for your trip at once (up to 10 days). Non-Resort Guests can book their dining selections 60 days from the date of dining. You may book online, through the My Disney Experience Mobile app, or by phone (phone lines open a little bit later at 7:00 AM EST).
Michelle, I hope this information is helpful to your vacation planning. You can begin making both your enchanting extras and dining reservations in just a few days (even without theme park tickets); happy researching! Thanks for visiting planDisney, please return if you have any more questions.
See ya real soon,
Candace
