Welcome back to planDisney, Lisette Jane! It sounds like you are knee-deep in planning your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort holiday, so let's jump in and talk about split stays and dining reservations. Food is my favorite topic!
You are correct that you can
make advanced dining reservations for up to ten days during your first stay. I'm not sure when you switch to
Disney's Old Key West Resort, but you will have a new dining window open 60 days from your second check-in.
If either stay is longer than ten days, you should be able to book meals daily from the 11th day on. Since I don't know the details of your trip, I recommend reaching out via the Chat With Us feature in your
My Disney Experience mobile app. The chat Cast Members should be able to look at your split stay to help determine the precise timeline for making those delectable dining reservations.
Did you know the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will begin January 17, 2025? It's my favorite festival! I love perusing the fabulous, colorful artwork, and I always get teary watching the Rainbow Connection nighttime light show on Spaceship Earth. I'm crossing my fingers and toes, hoping it returns this year for the "lovers, the dreamers, and me!"
Lisette Jane, I hope you plan some fantastic feasts during your New Year's visit. Please stop by
planDisney anytime. Kermit and I hope your visit is amazing and keeps you stargazing.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
