When to Make Your Dining Reservations?

Booking a Disney vacation can be like piecing together a puzzle, especially when it comes to nabbing reservations at your must-try restaurants. My Disney Dining Reservation Calculator simplifies this process. Just enter your arrival date at the park, and let the calculator work its magic. But you might be wondering, why bother booking so far in advance?

The Early Bird Catches the Worm

At Disney World, the early bird truly does catch the worm, or in this case, the best dining experiences. With limited availability at some of Disney’s most popular restaurants, planning ahead is crucial.

Especially during peak times of the year, seats and accommodations fill up faster than you can say “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.” So, don’t wait! Make your reservations as early as possible.

What Are Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs)?

Before diving into the calculator, let’s get acquainted with Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs). This system allows all Walt Disney World guests, whether staying on or off Disney property, to secure dining reservations at the park’s fantastic table service restaurants.

Disney World boasts a smorgasbord of dining options, from upscale to casual, family-friendly to themed restaurants, not to mention dinner shows and character dining events. ADRs ensure you’ll get to savor the Disney dining experience you’ve been dreaming of.

The Benefits of ADRs

Imagine strolling into a full-service restaurant without a reservation, even during the off-peak season—it’s not a fairy tale you want to experience. If fine dining and character meals are high on your Disney wish list, then booking ADRs is a must.

Start by reserving spots at a few hard-to-get table service restaurants and perhaps one magical character dining experience when your 60-day window opens. Worried you can’t book everything at once? No problem! As your departure date approaches, you can still secure reservations, unless you’re visiting during peak times. Dining reservations can be changed or canceled up to 2 hours prior to your reservation time. This is important to know, as you may find reservations “pop-up” at the last minute.

Keep in mind that Disney World offers plenty of quick-service dining options that don’t require reservations, so rest assured, you’ll never go hungry in the happiest place on earth!

Booking Your ADRs

Now, let’s get down to business—booking your Advance Dining Reservations. If you’re staying at an on-site Disney Resort, you can make ADRs 60 days before your check-in date and extend them up to 10 days past your check-in. Off-site Guests can make ADRs 60 days in advance of each visit date.

My handy Advance Dining Reservations calculator can help you figure out when you’re eligible to book your selections. You’ve got options for booking: do it online, give Disney a call at (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463, or if you prefer, contact a Disney Vacation Planner like myself!

So, what are you waiting for? Use my Disney Reservation Calculator to plan your dining adventures and get ready to experience the magic of Disney World like never before! If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to make your Disney dreams come true!
