Hello Trevor!
Welcome to planDisney! Trevor,
Disney's Yacht Club Resort during the holidays is just magical. I feel like many don't know how festively decorated this Resort gets during the holiday season. The lobby sometimes gets a gingerbread creation of its own that smells so delicious.
Dining Reservations are a must when booking a Table Service meal- especially during the holidays. Since you are a guest at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel you will be able to
make your dining reservations 60 days before you arrive and for the entirety of your 8-night trip. That means if you arrive on December 25, 2024, you can start making your dining reservations on October 26, 2024, at 6 AM.
When making your dining reservations I would strategize booking the most difficult reservations first rather than by day. You will be competing with a lot of people for a limited number of spots so make sure you get your must-do reservations locked down before moving on to others. An overlooked dining destination that I highly recommend that is not super competitive to get is
Ale & Compass Restaurant at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. I consider their breakfast to be a great value and very delicious.
I hope you get all of your reservations and have a lovely time!
Happy Planning!
