Once the 180-day window has opened for your trip (6 months before the first day you want to enjoy a dining experience), access the My Disney Experience app or www.mydisneyexperience.com, or call (407) WDW-DINE to make your dining reservations. Once confirmed, you will receive an email for each dining reservation you make, and you will also be able to access your plans via the app. For most Disney World restaurants, you will pay nothing at the time of booking, but if your plans change, be sure to cancel your reservation via the app at least 24 hours in advance so that you aren’t charged a cancellation fee of $10 per person.
