    If I put a deposit down on a vacation package can I make character dining reservations? Or do I have to pay in full ?

    Hello, Jennifer!

    Thank you for your question. You do not need to stay a Walt Disney World Resort hotel to make a dining reservation. With so many fantastic Character Dining Experiences located inside the theme parks and at select Disney Resort hotels, I am sure you will find the perfect one for your family. Keep in mind that these dining experiences are very popular, so reservations are highly recommended. You can begin making reservations 180 days before your visit either online or by calling (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463.

    I hope this helps with your planning! Please visit us again should you have additional questions about your upcoming visit.

    Happy Planning!
