What Can You Book At 60 Days At Disney World- Besides Dining Reservations?

Disney Dining Reservations: Book At 60 Days At Disney World (Plus 10 For On-Site Guests)

Dining is basically a competitive sport at Walt Disney World.

If you want the best Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) then you’ll want to be up bright and early on restaurant reservation day at Disney World.

You can book dining reservations at 60 days online starting at 6am ET for Disney World. A smart tip: sometimes dining can open about 15 minutes earlier, so go ahead, log in, and check at 5:45am just in case!

On-Site 60-Day Disney Dining Tips

Guests who are staying on-site can also take advantage of the 60+10 day rule.

This means you can book your first ADRs (or dining reservations in Disney Speak) 60 days before you check-in, for the length of your stay up to 10 days. You’ll be able to book your entire Disney World vacation dining reservations starting at 60 days.

Why does this matter?

Off-site guests can only book one day at a time, starting at their 60-day window.

This gives the on-site guests the advantage to scoop up some of the hard-to-get Disney dining reservations.

Disney Dining Reservation Hack: Work Backwards

If you are staying on-site, book your most wanted dining reservation for your LAST day.

There will be more availability farther out, so try to plan that Be Our Guest or Cinderella’s Royal Table visit for the end of your trip, not the beginning.

We always advise booking backward through your vacation, starting with the last full day you will be at the resort.

Example: You are staying at Pop Century from January 4-9. Your 60-day dining reservation window opens on November 5, 2024. That morning, start booking reservations for January 8 first, then the 7th, 6th, etc with the most desired dining reservation placed on the 8th. You may have to rearrange your theme park days after booking dining, but if dining is important to you, we advise this strategy.

  1. Great list! However your article says at the top it was updated in January of 2024, but your prices are not correct and you say that BBB hasn’t come back yet. I would update the content before saying its updated at the top.

    1. Thank you for taking the time to point that out. I found a few other things that needed updating as well, so I appreciate you leaving this comment! Hope you have a great trip.
