Rick M. Has dining reservation question

[Rick M.]

I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer to my situation. I am staying at my DVC home resort in Jan 2023. I am retired military so I purchase park tickets through Shades of Green for the discounted prices. 2023 military Disney park tickets are not available for purchase until Nov 30, 2022, less than 60 days before my check in at the DVC. So here is my question…..Can I make dining reservations for inside of parks at the 60 days before check in, then buy park tickets after the reservations are made, and then make park entrance reservations to match the dining reservations?
I understand there are no guarantees that it will all work out perfectly, but the parks in Jan should be uncrowded. If I don’t get park reservations to match the dining, I just cancel the dining, or keep trying for a park reservation.
I just haven’t found any info that says, “ yes you can make dining reservations inside a park without having first purchased a park ticket and made a park reservation.”
Thank you!

you can make dining reservations whether you have tickets or not. Park reservations are different but agreed, you shouldn't have a problem making them in January. This January I made my mother's park reservations two days before arrival when I bought her tickets.

Yes you can make reservations, as the dining has no idea what parks you have linked. We did Epcot for dinners, with it being a park we would hop to in November.

When I was trying to make reservations, only the length of stay was highlighted (60+7 days in our case). You would need resort stay booked and can only book dining for those days. Some special events like dessert parties and up close with Rhinos opened at 5:30 am EST.
