20 Things You Need To Know About Visiting Disney World Resort

14. Get Reservations

If you’re planning on dining in Disney World, the pros recommend getting a reservation at least two weeks prior to your visit. Disney World restaurants fill up fast and accumulate high wait times. For restaurants such as Be Our Guest, Boma, California Grill and ANY Character Dining, get that reservation set! Disney World allows you to make reservations up to180 days prior to the first date of their visit plus the next 10 days into their vacation. Guests who are not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel can make ADRs 180 days in advance of their trip but only 1 day at a time. If you want to make ADRs for every day, you will need to do that 1 day at a time beginning at your 180 day mark.,  - definitely take advantage of this.  (details from Disney Mom's Panel)
