Hi There, Brian! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh my goodness, Brian, how excited are you to have booked a visit to
Walt Disney World Resort? You are in for such a treat, with so many exciting attractions and restaurants to enjoy during your vacation! Speaking of treats, did you know that your visit lines up with the incredible
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival? It's a crowd favorite at Walt Disney World and, in my opinion, is an absolute must-do!
The
outdoor kitchens throughout the Festival offer delicious cuisine from all over the world. There are sure to be some items you have never tried before that I promise will blow you away! I personally have my eye on the Potato Pancakes with House-made Apple Sauce from Bauernmarkt: Farmer's Market in the Germany Pavilion. YUM!
Before I go on and on for too long about the Festival, let's get to your question! You can start making Advanced Dining Reservations 60 days in advance, beginning at 6:00 a.m. Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can book 60 days before their check-in date, PLUS the ten following days, so they can book for their entire vacation. So, if you are staying as a Guest of one of these fabulous hotels and you're looking to dine at one of the more popular restaurants at Walt Disney World, you may want to book this toward the end of the trip. This way, fewer people will have had a chance to book, and you have a higher chance of snagging one of those hard-to-get reservations.
I do hope this answer has been helpful to you! If you have any other questions as you wrap up the planning of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation,
please stop back over to planDisney! We would love to help you make the absolute most of your vacation!
Have a magical day!
