Hey there, Brianna!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Advanced Dining Reservations can be made 180 days in advance. For your upcoming May 2017 vacation, you can begin making those reservations in November, and all you need to do is log into your
My Disney Experience account.
All dining reservations require you to be signed into your My Disney Experience account so that it automatically links you and all other guests to the reservation. Once you decide on the restaurant, date, and time, you will be provided with the availability of that restaurant. Also, be sure to have your credit or debit card handy, as you will need to have this linked to your reservation, just as a guarantee. Only some dinner shows, dessert parties, and
Cinderella's Royal Table requires full payment in advance.
So no matter where you are staying, on or off property, Advanced Dining Reservation can be made by signing into your My Disney Experience account or calling 407-939-1947 and having a Cast Member to make your reservation for you. Once the Cast Member has completed your booking, it will be linked to your My Disney Experience account too!
Having fun making those dining reservation! If you have more questions before your May trip, please visit with us again soon!
