Are DL dining reservations 60 days + 10?

[bleeps]

My 60-day window for the first date of my trip comes up this Friday. Will I be able to make all my dining reservations for my 4-day visit when I call, or will I need to call on each 60-day window date for each date of my trip?

Thanks!

It is actually two months, not 60 days, but there is no +10. So, if you are going on June 1st, you can make your reservations on April 1st (don't have to wait until the 2nd), but if you are going multiple days and want to book on the 1st day possible, then you will have to call back daily. That's what I did for Christmas. I started to see it as part of the planning fun (otherwise it would have been a bit irritating, lol).

I'll just add that you don't have to stress about calling in your reservations right at the 2-month mark. DL dining reservations are MUCH easier to come by than WDW ones. Often you can call within a week or two (or even the day before!) and get what you want. If you just want to wait until your whole trip is within the 2-month mark, you can make all of your dining reservations with one phone call.

Of course, if calling everyday gets you excited for your trip, then do that. I've done that for WDW trips, so I know the feeling. Happy planning!

While I have been able to call the week (or even the day) before and get my reservations I've also been told they don't have anything available. If your dining reservations are very important to you call call earlier for the best choices.

You can call once a day for four days, or you can just wait until the 4th day and book it all. If you call on the first day-60 days out- the CM on the phone will likely laugh at you and say- "So, you're a WDW person huh?" Been there done that! I know it is hard- I did the daily calls the first time- but last time I made myself wait until the last day and then book everything! Even though reservations can only be made 60 days out(unlike the 6 months out you make WDW ADRs), it isn't like WDW where the restaurants start booking up immediately It is very unlikely that you will not get everything you want if you wait the 4 days. Now, I will say that I think I may have broken down and done the WOC dining package exactly on the 60th day- and you may want to do that to be absolutely safe if that is something you are trying to get, but I'm pretty sure I didn't even need to do that.

The only thing I would worry about is if you want to do the Fantasmic dessert package. That is one where you want to be on the phone the minute it opens up. I believe the booking time for that is only 30 days out though unless it has changed. I'm not positive so you will want to find out for sure. It's expensive, but we thought it was worth it. Fantasmic at DL is so much better than it is at WDW!
