Hi there Tracy, and welcome back to planDisney!
You must be so excited that your winter getaway to Walt Disney World is less than two months away! I love to visit sunny Florida when Elsa is making things chilly up north. Hopefully, the weather is nice and Olaf-approved during your stay.
Currently, all Guests can make
advance dining reservations starting around 7 AM EST 60 days before their desired dining date. Guests staying at a hotel in the
Disney Resorts Collection may make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of their stay (up to 10 days). Because the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel is not included in this, you'll need to make dining reservations one day at a time, 60 days in advance of each day. With a little flexibility on time and restaurant choices, you shouldn't have a problem finding somewhere delicious to enjoy every day of your vacation.
My husband and I are teachers and have stayed at the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel several times, taking advantage of the special rates sometimes available to educators. We love the picturesque views of Crescent Lake and the proximity to
EPCOT and
Disney's Hollywood Studios. If you enjoy sushi, don't miss
Kimonos at your hotel. The food is fantastic, and the karaoke is entertaining. This restaurant is a must-do for my family when staying anywhere in the EPCOT Resort Area, and, if you're looking for spontaneous dining, you're in luck; reservations aren't necessary here.
I hope this is helpful, Tracy. Best wishes for a wonderful winter vacation, and if there's anything else we can do before your adventure begins, don't hesitate to reach out again.
Have a magical day!
Betsy
