Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jacalyn! Thank you for bringing us this great question!
Oh my goodness! How excited are you to be staying in the heart of the magic for 14 nights!? Aren’t those Special Offers simply magical!? You are correct, you can make your
Advanced Dining Reservations up to 180 days before your Walt Disney World Resort vacation for up to 10 days worth of your vacation. For your additional dates, you will have to call or book online at the 180-day mark for each. I have had to do this in the past and although it means calling or going online to book each day for a few days, it is also fun to get a daily dose of Disney! Alternatively, if you book your vacation with a trusted Travel Agent, they can take on this task for you and most do not have any additional fees! Some will even make your FastPass+ Reservations, keep an eye out for a better offer, plan your daily schedule of events and yes, they can even help you book those great Bounce Back offers!
I’m sure you have all of your Disney Restaurants planned, but I’d like to suggest to you my personal favorite,
‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. I pretty much have to be wheeled out of there because there is SO MUCH FOOD, and it is delicious. If you asked me what my all-time favorite Walt Disney World Resort food is, it would be the ‘Ohana Bread Pudding, and I don’t even like bread pudding (ask my mom, she always made it as a child and I was disgusted by it- sorry, mom).
I hope you that you are able to book everything for which you have “wished upon a star”.
Wishing you magical memories and delicious dishes!
Jen
