Park Reservations with a package staying on property...

[Dug720]

I've got a package (PPH Premium View + 5-day hoppers) for my February Break, and I can make park reservations starting on Monday. I'm in NYC, so morning is a bit easier for me as I'm up for work by 6am Eastern anyway.

I know that dining is one day at a time regardless of where you're staying (unlike WDW where if you're on-property you get 60 days through the length of stay - or up to 10 days). Are park reservations the same way where I'll need to book one day at a time? Or will park reservations open for the length of my package on Monday? And will the system know that I have a package on property so I'll be directed to the on-property buckets?

Like I said, NBD either way - I just want to be prepared!

You have to make them each day they open, one day at a time.

Cool. Thank you!

You also don't have to rush to make them as the hotel bucket availability always stays wide open for those guests, even when days are unavailable elsewhere. Right now, magic key reservations only go through Jan 12, so you won't actually have any competition. I'd personally wait until the day you can book all your days and just do it all in one go.

Also, be advised that DLR dining reservations are a cluster right now. There is no consistency in when restaurant availability opens up, and it's not 60 days for all restaurants anymore. It's just completely random and frustrating as heck. As a solo traveler, you'll likely be able to walk up almost everywhere and get a table with a short wait.

Thank you so much!
