    We have a room booked and an ADR at Chef Mickeys for the week of New Years. We have decided to stay elsewhere (can afford a longer trip that way!) but am concerned that if I cancel my room, I'll lose my ADR. We're less than 180 days out... any idea?

    Hi, Beth Ann! I absolutely understand your reasoning for deciding to stay off-site. We did the same thing last summer so that we could double the length of our planned 5-day trip. I did keep 3 nights of our reservation at DIsney's BoardWalk Villas so we could enjoy a bit of Disney magic at the start of our trip. This turned out to be such a great decision, as staying twice as long allowed us to take our time at the parks and discover many new adventures that we previously had not had the time to experience.

    As long as you are less than 180-days away from any of your Advanced Dining Reservations, then you have nothing to worry about by canceling your Resort hotel reservation. Since Guests of Walt Disney World Resort hotels are able to reserve dining and many activity reservations for up to 10 days of their trip as soon as their 180-day window opens, you do run the risk of losing a reservation if any of them are more than 180 days away. Be sure to count your days carefully, as I would hate for you to miss out on any special reservations.

    I hope you have a pixie dusted day, Beth Ann. Please stop by again if you have any further questions as you continue to plan your stay.
