Hello, Jourdan. Welcome to
planDisney.
A trip to the most magical place on earth is even more special in December. The parks are dressed up in their holiday best and it is so festive and fun. You are going to love it!
Jourdan, right now Guests are able to make advanced dining reservations 60 days in advance for the length of their stay up to 10 days. If you are checking in to a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel on December 4th of this year, you can make your advanced dining reservations starting on October 5th, 2022. You can make your
advanced dining reservations online via your MyDisneyExperience account starting at 6:00 a.m. Mickey Mouse's time or over the phone by calling 407-WDW-DINE starting at 7:00 a.m. Some of the best places to eat do fill up rather quickly so I'd recommend setting that alarm for bright and early and being up and logged in right before that 6:00 a.m. timeframe. Guests used to be able to make advanced dining reservations 180 days in advance but after the shutdown, due to COVID-19 the policy changed a little bit for the reopening. This timeframe seems to work out well and they've decided to keep it in place for the time being.
This gives you plenty of time to research and plan exactly where you'd like to dine during your vacation, Jourdan. My go-to spot right now is
The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs. The restaurant is nestled right on the lake and provides stunning views as the sun goes down in the evening. There is something on the menu for everyone but right now I am stuck on the lobster rolls served warm with butter and I always upgrade to the truffle fries. Delicious!
I hope this helps you plan out your itinerary, Jourdan. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me.
Happy planning!
