Hi Paul,
First, can I just say that a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort that lasts for longer than 10 days sounds INCREDIBLE?! You're going to have such an amazing trip!
One of the many
wonderful perks of staying on-site at a Disney Resort hotel is being able to make your dining reservations earlier than other Guests. While
everyone may make
dining reservations 180 days in advance, Disney Resort hotel Guests have the added benefit of being able to make reservations for up to 10 days of their trip at that 180-day point, essentially allowing them to access reservations up to 189 days in advance. That can be really helpful for finding a reservation at some of the more popular
restaurants, as they tend to fill up rather quickly! Since you're staying longer than 10 days, you'll be able to make your 11th day's reservations 179 days before your arrival, your 12th day's choices 178 days beforehand, and so on. You'll find that the 10-day window slides one day at a time, so you'll always have the first access to dining reservations as they open. I hope that helps you find the
perfect reservations for your trip!
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Paul, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're planning your trip. I hope that you have a truly magical...and delicious...vacation!
