I believe it's 6 am EST. ( if I remember right, I was up at 4:45 CST to do ours). It's totally worth getting up for to do them online. Have a list ready of what you want and the times you want them (to save you time) and your credit card (in case you book somehting that needs a credit card to hold the reservation)

If I can give you one tip though.....do all your "must haves" first then check out. We REALLY wanted Le Cellier, CRT (for b'fast and dinner) and Narcoosees. So I knew they were going to be the hardest. I did CRT first so I was sure that was set. If you're on the dining plan, make sure you log in first and link your resort confirmation #. (you'll see where you can enter that for the ones that you need a credit card to hold). Then your credit card won't be charged. (they take the number to hold the reservation and you'll get charged if you don't show).

Anyway, I believe you can do 9 in your cart at at time, so do all the big ones first and check out then go back for the others.

Have fun !!! I hope you get everything you want !!!

i just became a DVC member. i was going to login to my DVC page and then i click, 'dining reservations.' it then opens up disney.com/dining. i have a 12 digit confirmation code.

If you have a confirmed resort reservation, then you can utilize the 180+10 booking window (book 10 days of meals at 180 days before check-in). Dining plan has zero effect on this. Dining plan only affects whether or not certain restaurants (CRT and Dinner Shows) will charge the full amount ahead of time, or simply require a credit card hold.

The times are 6AM Eastern for Online and 7AM Eastern for phone.
