Hi Gina,
Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Making dining reservations is one of my favorite ways to get excited for an upcoming trip. In fact, I already have my calendar marked on the day I will be able to get started for our own fall trip!
As a Disney Resort Hotel Guest, you may begin making your Advance Dining Reservations 180 days prior to your arrival date plus 10 days. What this means is you will be able to make the reservations for your entire stay (up to 10 days) 180 days before the date you arrive.
To have a great shot at securing reservations at popular locations like
Cinderella's Royal Table, I suggest looking at dates toward the end of your trip first and working backwards to your arrival date. This strategy has always worked well for me.
I hope this helps you as you plan your special days at the Walt Disney World Resort, Gina. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions.
Happy planning!
Andrea U.
