Is there a full list somewhere of all hotels that can be linked to MDE and you can book dining 60 days in advance of check in?

[RamblinWreck]

I feel like this is somewhat elusive to find. (Or maybe my Google skills are getting weak).

I'm just curious about which hotels other than the actual Disney Resort Hotels enjoy this privelege.

I've been to this site: https://www.wdwgoodneighborhotels.com/browse-hotels/

It seems those hotels all fit the description.


But then, say, I'll google the Four Seasons Orlando hotel, and Google tells me that I can link that hotel to MDE as well. So that list must not be comprehensive, unless I'm completely misunderstanding something.

Help me Disboards, you're my only hope!

I believe for the purposes of 60+10 ADRs, that is limited to the official on-site WDW resorts, Swan/Dolphin/Reserve and Shades of Green.

Several off-site hotels can be linked to MDE. Most (not all) are considered "Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels" and for most the "perk" is just the 30 minute early entry, with very few qualifying for the extended evening hours. "Good Neighbor Hotels" do not actually receive any official WDW perks. I believe that's a designation because they have some AAA rating and guests can buy tickets at the resort.

Anyone can book at 60 days out, and as said above, official on-site WDW resorts, Swan/Dolphin/Reserve and Shades of Green can book 60 +10.

Thanks for the help!

I should have been more clear. When I said "60 days in advance of check in", I meant "60 days in advance of check in for the entire stay".

I did find this on PlanDisney though. (bold emphasis added by me)

"Guest may make advance reservations for dining up to 60 days in advance. Guests of Disney Resort hotels can book dining reservations up to 60 days in advance for the length of their stay (up to 10 days). Some Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotels offer the same advance dining reservation benefit, while others do not. I highly recommend checking with the Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel when booking your stay."

So now I'm left wondering what this list is! Maybe I'll call all of the Good Neighbor hotels and make my own list!

PlanDisney, despite being an authorized-and-trained-by-Disney group, posts incorrect information more often than you‘d think. I’m not saying there aren’t GN hotels that offer the 60+10 benefit, but I don’t know of any.

I'll let you know tomorrow. We're staying at the DS Drury Inn and tomorrow is day 60 for us. I've got the resort reservation loaded into MDE so we'll see if that gives me length of stay for restaurant reservations.

 

[hes122]

Update.... it shows the length of our trip when I opened up the dining search this morning.

Nice! I honestly didn’t know this was a thing. Thanks for teaching me something new!

I should note that only V&A shows up for days beyond 60 though. It's possible that my week is just a super busy week (for those who don't want to do the math we're scheduled to be there the week Tron opens) and everything is gone already, but given that there's still openings for reservations on Day 60 I'm not real sure.

No restaurants except V & A show up? That’s not right, no matter how busy the week is, there should be something available.

Yeah that's why I'm wondering if there's some glitch that shows my whole week available to view but I can only see reservations on day 60.

 

[focusondisney]

Occasionally when I’ve had trouble I would go to the specific restaurant’s page & search availability from there. It’s always shown up for me that way.

 

[hes122]

Update - I can still click on dates for the length of my trip, but only V&As is showing up for anything beyond 60 days.

Curious how this worked out. Also curious what your experience was with Drury transportation to/ from parks.

Also curious what your experience was with Drury transportation to/ from parks.

We stayed at Drury Disney Springs in January. Only glitch was one time they said bus leaves at 6:30am and then when we got downstairs they said "that park" bus leaves at 7am. Coming from the West Coast (where, obviously, 6:30am was 3:30 am) we were slightly traumatized at losing 30 minutes sleep for no reason lol. Be sure to double check the schedule at the front desk the night before. I think the shuttle was blocked from arrival that early by Disney rules...

The schedule given to us noted we needed to "confirm" bus arrangements at least 2 hours prior - but when we tried to do that, never received an acknowledgement of the "reservation" - but just started going to the bus stops at the allotted times and there was always a Drury Shuttle Bus there. I was told later the reservation only kicked in if they ran out of space, and they are Big shuttles...
