Hello, Beatrice and from a fellow Pennsylvanian, let me offer you a hearty welcome to planDisney where the only think we love more than talking about
dining around the Walt Disney World Resort is... well, EATING!
Beatrice, my family and I recently returned from a trip where we were able to enjoy some old favorite restaurants as well as some new ones, so I appreciate this question and the need to
make advanced dining reservations. You are able to make reservations 60 days in advance of check-in
for the length of your visit (up to 10 days). The 10 days refers to your length of stay; meaning, you are able to book reservations for anytime between September 27th-October 6th beginning on July 29th.
As a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel guest, I love being able to make most of my dining reservations at one time instead of logging in each day. Beatrice, keep in mind that reservations
don't need to be booked in chronological order. I recommend making reservations at popular locations first. For example, if you're hoping to visit any
restaurants offering a modified character experience, I would recommend booking those first. On the day you are first able to make reservations, you might want to program your coffee pot and set the alarm, because
availability begins to open up at approximately 5:45 AM. Beatrice, I hope this helps as you're planning ahead for your fall visit. Since you'll be just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort, make sure to
read all about the Magic in store to mark this very important milestone! I also encourage you to bookmark the
Disney Parks Blog as I'm sure more pixie dusted announcements will be released before your visit.
Best wishes for a stay full of unforgettable moments,
Lauren
