The world of Disney Dining is immense with over 300 dining experiences that range from delectable, one-of-a-kind, culinary experiences to “are you sure this isn’t an amusement park?”

Planning is key, as is, getting the jump on dining reservations — make sure you make your table service reservations, 180 days before checking in.

This means you’ll need to know which park is best for each day in terms of park hours, crowd levels, plans for the day, and your overall vacation wishlist, so you can make dining reservations for each day.

Mouseplanner helps optimize your vacation by choosing the best parks for each day based, in part, on Disney park schedules, which are normally only available 180 days in advance. Our itinerary planning tool provides schedule data 190 days in advance –which gives you 10 extra days after knowing your daily itinerary to plan dining and be ready to book it as soon as you hit the 7am EST, 180 days in advance.
