    We are just now starting to plan our first Disney trip with our kids! It's a short notice trip and will be booking for the end of April, 2016. How quickly do the dining with characters book up? Hoping we're not booking too late.

    Welcome Erin! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
    Glad to know you are planning an unforgettable Disney vacation for your family. Character Dining Experiences are amazing and they tend to book up quickly as soon as the reservation window opens, for the most popular restaurants. Advanced Dining Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made up to 180 days prior to your visit.
    There are many restaurant options for your family, at Disney Theme Parks and Disney Resort Hotels. I am sure you will be able to get a reservation for a very nice restaurant. If you can’t find availability online, I encourage you to call WDW. Cast Members can assist you by giving you alternative options for the dates you want.
    Hope this helps your planning. Come back to visit us again if you have further questions.
    Have a magical day!

I am totally a Disney maniac! Since childhood, I have been a big fan of all things Disney, especially the theme parks. I have never visited any other place that gives me the same feeling that I get at the Walt Disney World Resort. You can become a child again there! With so much to explore, I would love to help you plan your next Walt Disney World vacation and discover all the fantasy and magic this special place has to offer. Learn More About Gina
