    If staying off site arriving August 11, what exact day am I able to make ADR for parks and resorts ? What time can I make ADR on that day ? Thanks again

    Welcome back to planDisney, Teresa! It looks like you find our group of Disney fans helpful with your planning! That’s great! I’m happy to assist with your delicious Disney Dining question! 

    Guests staying off-property can make advance dining reservations 60 days before their preferred dining date. For example, if you plan on dining on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, you can make your dining reservations beginning on Friday, June 12, 2026. If you plan to dine on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, you can make your reservation on Saturday, June 13, 2026. The “magic number” when staying off property is always 60 days.

    Guests staying on property can also make their reservations 60 days in advance, but their perk is that they can make reservations 60 days in advance of their vacation arrival date, for up to 10 days of their stay.

    All Guests can begin making dining reservations at 6:00 AM. Occasionally, reservations for some restaurants open a few minutes earlier. I recommend being on either the Walt Disney World Resort website or your My Disney Experience app around 5:45 AM.

    Teresa, “Be Our Guest” as you prepare for dining at the Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Dreams do come true!
