Hello, Ben! Welcome to planDisney. It sounds like you are planning quite a magical vacation at
Walt Disney World Resort this summer!
As you know, you can make
advanced dining reservations 60 days before your arrival date, up to the first 10 nights of your stay. With two reservations -
Disney's BoardWalk Inn from July 3 - 12 and
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort from July 12 - 16 - you will have two dates for making dining reservations. On May 4, the first booking window opened. You should be able to make dining reservations for your days at the BoardWalk Inn. On Monday, May 13, your booking window opens for the days you are staying at the Polynesian Village Resort. From the information you provided, I have no idea why you would not be able to make dining selections for July 11, as this should be part of your first booking window. The best advice I can give you is to
call and speak with a Dining Reservations Cast Member.
With your trip just around the riverbend, the
theme park hours calendar is starting to include information for the early days of your visit. As your trip gets closer, this calendar will be updated with information on show times, like the magnificent
Happily Ever After fireworks. I know the Fourth of July may not be celebrated in your hometown, but usually, there is quite a spectacular tribute to America on this day that you may not want to miss.
I sincerely hope you can get your
dining reservations made and the rest of your trip planning is as easy as a summer breeze.
Please come back to
planDisney with any other questions. We'll do our best to help!
Adventure is Out There!
