Hello there, Linda. I'm so glad you've stopped by
planDisney to chat about one of my favorite things - Disney dining!
Linda, you are able to make your
advanced dining reservations for your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation 60 days prior to your check-in day. At that time, you are able to book reservations for the length of your stay up to 10 days. If you are checking in to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel on December 16, 2021, the date you can begin booking your dining reservations is Sunday, October 16, 2021.
To make your advanced dining reservations, Linda, be sure to set your alarm clock early. The booking window opens up bright and early, 6:00 a.m. Mickey Mouse's time, online via your
MyDisneyExperience account. If you prefer to call, the phone lines open up right at 7:00 a.m. I prefer and recommend booking online using the MyDisneyExperience app because it is that early time frame. Some of the most popular spots fill up rather quickly and I want you to have all of the advantages you can have! If you do choose to call, the number is 407-WDW-DINE and a Cast Member will be more than happy to assist you.
If you are looking for a last-minute dining reservation suggestion, my favorite place to eat right now is
The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs. The restaurant is set right on the lake and provides stunning views especially if you sit outside. The menu has something for everyone. My go-to order right now happens to be the lobster roll, served warm with butter and I always upgrade to the truffle fries. In fact, this meal is so delicious, my family orders the exact same thing every time we are there. Lobster rolls all around!
I hope this helps clear up any confusion you might have had about when you can book your dining reservations, Linda. If you have any other questions before your trip, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help.
Have fun and happy planning!
