making Disney dining reservations when staying off site?

Sorry as I am sure this has been asked 1000s of times already but can you make dining reservations if you're staying off site? ? Thanks!

Yes. Anyone - onsite, offsite, local residents - can make reservations starting 180 days before the day they wish to dine.

Anyone can use their My Disney Experience App or thru Disney website and have the dining linked in their daily calendar as well, not tied to whether you are staying onsite or not. In fact, I find myself booking dining before hotel because those can get sucked up faster!!
