Hi ya, Jessica!
Welcome to planDisney and happy planning! You are entering the most exciting time of the planning process. Planning the fine details like
dining reservations and maybe even a few
Enchanting Extras. To answer your question, you can begin making these reservations 60 days before your arrival date. So if my calculations are correct, it looks like October 9, 2025, is your magical date. (Double-check my math on that date.)
I recently had my 60-day planning day, and oh boy, it was so much fun! What helped me book the reservations I wanted was researching and making a list. A few days before my window opened, my husband and I sat down and created our “wishlist”. From there, we prioritized them to help make our planning day a little easier. Our priorities were
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and
Beak and Barrel. Once those two were secure, we went on with the planning.
I’ll be honest, we are well past our 60-day mark and still making dining reservations or modifying them to better fit our plans. So my best advice is to book and plan, then go back and review those plans. The morning rush of planning happens so fast, it’s easy to grab and go, so definitely take the time to go back and review in the days leading up to your visit. Plus, if you missed something, there’s always a chance it will show up later.
Jessica, I hope this helps answer your question! Double-check my math and set an alarm for this very exciting week!
The Magic Awaits,
Shantel
