    How soon can I make dinner reservations?

    Hi there, Alan! Welcome to planDisney. We're delighted you've brought us your question. 

    Oh boy, I’m so excited that you’re planning your Walt Disney World Resort dining reservations! I don't know about you, but to me, the food is practically another attraction. Yum! 

    Alan, if you’re staying inside the magic at a Disney Resort hotel, you get a special perk (among many others!). You can make dining reservations for your entire length of stay (up to 10 nights) starting 60 days before your arrival. This means you can secure all your must-have meals in one go—no need to check back each day. Talk about stress-free planning! 

    If you’re staying off-site, as Timon and Pumbaa taught us, Hakuna Matata, no worries! You can still make dining reservations 6-days in advance, one day at a time. Pro tip: Reservations open around 6:00 AM Eastern Time daily, so set that alarm, grab a cup of coffee, and get ready to book some delicious experiences.

    I hope this helps, Alan. If you need recommendations on where to dine, don't hesitate to stop by. I’m always hEAR to talk about Disney food!

    Wishing you a vacation filled with magical meals and unforgettable moments. And don't forget to try the grey stuff! Well, you know how it ends. 

    See ya real soon,
