Royal greetings, Kayley!
I'd like to welcome you to planDisney and thank you for bringing us your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. Soon, you'll be arriving at The Most Magical Place on Earth - a world full of wonder and enchantment awaits you, Kayley! I'd be honored to help you plan for your exciting Walt Disney World Resort holiday.
I understand that you're having difficulty booking dining reservations via the
My Disney Experience mobile app, and I've reached out to some friendly Cast Members for advice on how to proceed. I know you're probably eager to get those reservations made since you're within your
60-day booking window, and I'm here to assist! Kayley, I've been informed that, for the best experience, Guests visiting from the U.K. should
make their dining reservations on the Walt Disney World Resort website or by calling the
Dining Reservations phone line. Guests staying at eligible hotels (including the Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista) may make dining reservations beginning 60 days in advance for up to a 10-night stay. Kayley, if your holiday is longer than 10 days, then you'll have multiple 60-day dining windows.
The
Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista is considered a Walt Disney World Official Hotel and is located near
Disney Springs. While I haven't stayed at this hotel yet, I know that many Guests enjoy the free hot breakfast buffet, theme park shuttle service, and happy hour offering complimentary beverages and hors d'oeuvres! As someone who spends lots of time at Disney Springs during my Walt Disney World Resort vacations, I love staying in this area. If you have the chance, I highly recommend a delicious meal at
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' followed by a Magical Sundae from the
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop! Also, don't miss
Gideon's Bakehouse - these monster cookies are a fan-favorite among sweet tooths everywhere.
Kayley, I hope you've found this information helpful. I'm wishing you lots of pixie dust as you start securing dining reservations for your upcoming visit! I'd like to wish you safe travels and an unforgettable holiday in The Most Magical Place on Earth. If you have any additional planning questions, please feel free to revisit us at
planDisney anytime. We're here to help you make special memories during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
