Hi there, Emily! I’m glad that you’re sending questions to planDisney! My fellow panelists and I are happy to help with all your vacation planning! It sounds like you’re ready for some magical moments at the Walt Disney World Resort!
There are so many great experiences to enjoy at the Walt Disney World Resort, but some of those
experiences do require reservations.
Guests with a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation can make advanced reservations, for the length of their stay (up to 10 days), 60 days before their vacation arrival date! This includes things such as Disney Dining reservations and other “Enchanting Extras” such as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservations! This nice little perk gives Walt Disney World Resort hotel Guests a bit of a time advantage in that they can make reservations for up to 10 days!
For example, if I am staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel and arriving on November 1, 2023, I can make advanced reservations beginning on September 2, 2023. I can make reservations for the length of my vacation (up to 10 days) beginning on that date.
Guests without Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservations (i.e. Guests staying off-property) can make advanced reservations 60 days prior to the date they wish to reserve the experience. The difference is that Guests not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel don’t have the perk of being able to make reservations for up to 10 days.
I hope this information is helpful, Emily! Keep sending those great questions to planDisney!
Happy Planning!
Jonathan
