Hello from Litchfield County, James! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question.
Good news! Anyone in your travel party can
make dining reservations. Since your arrival date is January 27th, you can make dining reservations beginning at 6:00 a.m. EST on November 28th. Please mark that date on your calendar as the more popular restaurants will become unavailable quickly. If you have a Disney Resort Hotel Reservation, you can make dining reservations for your entire length of stay (for up to 10 nights) at the 60-day mark.
Since you have a little over a week before you can make your dining reservations, I would suggest making a high-level itinerary and mapping out where and when you would like to make your dining reservations after researching the many
dining options available to you. For example, you may want to try to get a reservation for
Space 220 Restaurant (I highly recommend it!) or
Space 220 Lounge on the day you will be at EPCOT. Or, you may prefer to try the
Roundup Rodeo BBQ or
50's Prime Time Café on your Disney's Hollywood Studios day.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if there is anything further we can assist you with. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
