    I have a resort reservation in December but the site does not allow me to make Dining Reservations. Shouldn't I be able to make dining reservations 6 months in advance?

    Hi Carol! I can see how excited you are about your December visit! The holiday decorations in the Disney World theme parks, resort hotels, and restaurants are some of the merriest in the world! The Seven Dwarfs have quite the gift for decorating! Of course, they whistle Christmas songs while they work! Have a great Disney World visit during the holiday season!

    Carol, you had the “6” correct! Several years ago, Guests could make their Disney Dining reservations six months in advance, but that is no longer the case. For the past several years, Guests have been able to make their reservations 60-days in advance. With your arrival date of December 3, 2026, you can begin making your reservations on October 4, 2026. So, mark that magical day on your vacation-planning calendar!

    You can make your reservations 60-days before your hotel check-in date. Your reservations can be made for the entire length of your stay (up to ten days)! Rise and shine with the morning sun, because Guests can begin making their reservations at 6:00 AM!

    Half the fun of a Disney World vacation is planning it! Carol, begin to think about the restaurants you want to visit! If you need some recommendations, please send planDisney another question! My fellow planDisney panelists and I would be happy to make some delicious recommendations!

    Dreams do come true!
