I have not been to Disney since November 2011 and a lot of things have changed since then! We just booked a trip for April and are quickly approaching my ADR date so I'm starting my research and am very overwhelmed. If anyone can provide me some answers or point me in the right direction with links, I would greatly appreciate it!

First, we are staying off site for the first time and the way I understand it is I can make ADRs 180 days out. I will have to make one each day since I am off site. What time can I do that at?

Second, we will need to purchase park tickets BEFORE we can make Fastpass reservations, correct? Where is the cheapest place that I can buy these? Fastpass reservations are made 30 days for an offsite guest, correct?

Also, is there any type of Dessert Party still offered? Where can I go to get information on booking one?

Thanks for any advice. I've tried looking around and am already feeling a little overwhelmed since everything is so different and park hours have not even been released for our dates.

ADRs can be made online starting at 6:00 am Eastern, by phone at 7:00 am Eastern.

Yes, you need to have tickets before you can make FP reservations and offsite guests can make them at 30 days. Undercover Tourist is a highly recommended source for discounted tickets.

And the hours have been released for April:

Siskaren gave you most of the info you need.

The Wishes Dessert party can be found on the dining page of the official web site. Here's a link: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/magic-kingdom/wishes-fireworks-dessert-party/

There is also an Illuminations dessert party at Epcot, and a couple options for fireworks cruises at both parks.

Most FP+ reservations are still available 30 days out, especially if you book right at midnight, but times for the headliners will be limited. Have fun!
