    Went online at 5:57 AM to book my New Year’s Eve dinner. Restaurants at EPCOT completely booked with the exception of three in the afternoon. Doesn’t reservations open @6:00 AM 60 days prior?

    Hi, there!

     Welcome to planDisney, Marta. We're so glad you stopped by! We're delighted to help you plan your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. 

     I can't think of a better place to celebrate New Year's Eve than at a Disney theme park. Talk about a magical way to ring in 2025! I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty booking a New Year's Eve dining reservation at EPCOT. It's certainly the place to be! You're correct that dining reservations can be booked up to 60-days in advance, beginning at 6:00 AM. That said, Guests of Disney Resort hotels can book their dining reservations 60-days ahead of their check-in date, for up to 10 days, which means they can potentially book a dining reservation as early as 70-days ahead of time. 

     My best advice is to keep checking dining reservation availability between now and the time of your New Year's Eve visit. You never know when someone's canceled plans may mean new plans for you! If you still can't manage to secure a reservation, not to fret. EPCOT is home to lots of incredible quick-service dining locations that you can enjoy without a reservation. My family especially loves Connections Eatery, but I also recommend La Cantina de San Angel and Yorkshire County Fish Shop. 

     I hope this was helpful, Marta. Please let us know if you have any other questions about the Walt Disney World Resort! We'd love to help you plan a magical visit.
