Welcome Home, Tanya!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your awesome question about making Walt Disney World Resort reservations.
Tanya, you may have seen the Disney Parks Moms Panelists mention the 180-day mark many times. When doing so, we are usually referring to
making advance dining reservations.
All Guests, regardless of whether or not they are staying in a Disney Resort hotel, can begin making advance dining reservations 180 days in advance of their arrivals. Guests who are also staying at a Disney Resort hotel, can begin making advance dining reservations 180 days in advance of their arrivals — for the entire length of their stay.
For your reference, the Disney Reservation Center is available via phone from 7:00 AM-11:00 PM ET Monday-Friday, and 7:00 AM-8:00 PM ET on weekends. They can be reached by dialing (407) 939-3463.
You an also
make your advance dining reservations online. Reservation availability for Walt Disney World restaurants begins at approximately 5:45 AM ET.
Additionally, the 180-day mark is also a great time to
begin making Disney Resort hotel reservations. I always suggest Guests start planning their magical vacations at least 6 months in advance.
If you have any additional questions, please visit the Disney Parks Moms Panel again. We are always here to help you plan your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
