Be sure to download the Walt Disney World app: MyDisneyExperience to be able to manage your holiday and unlock even more magic! Enjoy benefits such as mobile check-in, Mobile food ordering at select Disney restaurants, the new Disney MagicMobile feature, and much more! In order to enter theme parks, a reservation is required in addition to a valid park ticket. It is recommended that guests immediately link their Disney reservation to a My Disney Experience account using the Hotel Confirmation Reference and make their park reservations as soon as possible on the Park Pass System (also found on Disney's My Disney Experience site or app. Park reservations must be made for each day of the ticket. Park availability is constantly being updated and having a hotel reservation does not guarantee entrance to the theme parks.

Make Dining Reservations - Plan ahead for delicious dining experiences during your stay. Guests may make advance dining reservations at select restaurants. Guests with a Valid Disney Resort Hotel Reservation: Make reservations for your entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay) up to 60 days in advance of your arrival! This can help you enjoy streamlined vacation planning, since you can make all your reservations on the same day--rather than checking availability day after day. All Other Guests can make reservations up to 60 days in advance. To dine at an in-park, table-service restaurant, you need a confirmed dining reservation for the total number of Guests--regardless of age--along with a park reservation and valid admission for the same park on that same date for each Guest ages 3 and up. Dining reservations do not guarantee access to a park, and Park Hopper availability may change daily. We recommend that Guests book in-park dining at the park where they have a park reservation.
