Booking Dining in Disney

[mich723]

I have a cruise booked for November 2018, and one of the port stops is Port Canaveral and we're choosing to go to Disney for the day.
I love the dining available in the parks and wondering if there's a time I can book an ADR? Or because of not staying in the park, and being on a cruise, I won't get the opportunity to book ahead?
Any help or info on the Port Canaveral Port stop is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Anyone can book dining at 189 days.

Anyone can book ADRs starting 180 days before. You don't have to be staying at a WDW resort. If you have a multi-day trip to WDW, staying onsite gives you an additional benefit of being able to book ADRs for up to the first 10 days of your trip at one time. But since this is just a one day stop at WDW, that doesn't come into play here. Just count 180 days back from the day you will be in WDW and you can book online starting at 6:00 am or by phone at 7:00am.

You have a typo. That should be 180 days.

Thank you!
I was told in the past that you can only book 180 days out if you have a Disney reservation. I do forget where I heard it, and it was a while ago.
This makes things easier!

It's 180+10 that you can only do if staying on property. Otherwise if you're staying in the area but not on property you have to log onto dining reservations every morning that's 180 days out (so if you had a 5-night stay off-property and wanted ADRs every day you'd be up 5 mornings in a row to get ADRs - especially if they were hard to get ones).
