Welcome back, Michael!
What fun to be planning a fa la la festive vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Michael, you are correct that
dining reservations open 60 days prior to the day that you wish to dine. Guests of the Disney Resorts Collection properties may make reservations for their entire vacation 60-days in advance, while guests staying at resorts owned by a third party must make their reservations one day at a time. Michael, the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel falls in the second category, so you will need to make your reservations separately for each day.
One dining experience that you will not need a reservation for is snacking around the world at the festival booths during the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! To make this experience even better, one of the best parts about staying at the Walt Disney World Resort Dolphin Hotel is that you can easily walk to both EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood studios.
Have a Holly Jolly time, Michael!
