8. Make dining reservations
Either from your app or by visiting www.mydisneyexperience.com, you can search for available times at most of the table service restaurants in the parks. Search by park, by cuisine or by time. It’s all up to you. You can book dining reservations up to 180 days before you will be in the parks. That may sound like a lot of time, but many of the Disney restaurants are booked full within the first few days or weeks of that 180-day window. If you want to experience a particular restaurant, like Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom, you’ll need to watch your calendar and book as soon as the 180-day window opens. And if it’s a character dining experience you’re hoping to have, it’s a good idea to book those as early as possible as well. If you ever need assistance with booking your dining reservations online or on the app, you can call (407) WDW-DINE.
