    We are traveling to WDW between Christmas and New year's. Soon we will have the opportunity to begin booking dining reservations, but we still don't see the park hours listed for this week

    Welcome to planDisney, Susan! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today.

    Great news! Park hours are now posted through the second week of January, so you've got everything you need to start locking in your dining plans for that super-festive week between Christmas and New Year's. Go ahead and make those reservations with confidence! Just keep in mind that park hours can shift as we get closer, especially during the holidays, so it's smart to peek at the My Disney Experience app every so often for any updates. If you spot an earlier opening, a later closing, or any change in park operating hours, you can always tweak your plans. Your dining bookings are flexible and can be modified right in the app!

    Since you're visiting during one of the most popular weeks of the year, it helps to plan around the hours you see today and build in a little wiggle room for changes. If a park ends up opening earlier than originally listed, it's a golden opportunity to rope drop breakfast a bit sooner or slide a lunch reservation later so you can enjoy those shorter morning waits. If closing times get extended, consider shifting dinner slightly earlier and enjoying the extra evening ride time

    I hope this answers your question, Susan, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
