Hi, Jo, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so glad you stopped by with this question so we can help you get ready for some important holiday planning dates. The days you may begin making Advance Dining Reservations and FastPass+ selections are so important because there are some great experiences that are in high demand. I would hate for you to miss out on your favorite dining location or attraction, so let's get to it!
As a guest staying in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can begin making
Advance Dining Reservations at 180 days before your date of check-in. As you mentioned, the first ten days of your resort stay will open for booking. The remaining days of your holiday will each open 180 days prior to that specific date. Essentially, it is as if your booking window "walks forward" one day at a time once it goes past that first 10-day period. The days you may
make FastPass+ selections will also work the same way. You will be able to make selections for the first ten days of your stay, once it reaches 60 days prior to check-in, but that window of availability will "walk forward" one day at a time once that 10-day period passes.
I hope my explanation helps you understand how the reservation system works for extended holidays, Jo. Please stop by and see us again if you have any other questions about this or any other part of your Walt Disney World Resort stay!
