Hi Zoe! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your holiday to the
Walt Disney World Resort later this year! With everything that goes into planning a magical stay, now is the perfect time to get answers to all of your planning questions.
Regardless of where you are coming from,
Advanced Dining Reservations will be available 60 days in advance of your arrival day. For Guests who reside in the UK, you can begin making reservations at 11 AM UK time (6 AM EST). The booking window will open for everyone at the same moment; the exact time will depend on your location. If you're not an early riser, a late morning time will be very beneficial to your planning.
One of the perks to staying in a
Disney Resorts Hotel is that you can book your dining reservations for your entire length of your stay (up to 10 days). At the 60 day mark, you can go ahead and book dining reservations for the first ten days of your trip. This will help give you a leg up on Guests that will need to wait until the 60-day mark each day to make their reservations. Unfortunately, this perk only extends until day 10 of your trip. The last four days, you'll need to book dining individually 60 days out. If possible, I would try to book the hard-to-get dining reservations with the extra window you have during the first ten days and save some of the easier ones for the last chunk of your visit. You may have an easier time landing each one you want by doing it this way.
Zoe, I hope this information helps you plan for your extended stay later this year! As always, please
stop back and see us again at planDisney with any additional planning questions.
Thanks for stopping by!
Greg
