Dining reservations - when can you book from?

[davida]

We're not going until the half term in February but have linked our tickets and hotel booking in the disney app so can make reservations 60 days out. I was just checking this morning to see what was available when the bookings open at 5:45 EST which is 10:45 our time... they didn't appear until 11am by which point there was no option to book dinner at Be our guest or Space 220 which is what we're hoping to do during our stay.
Any tips? I read somewhere that you can book further in advance once you hit the 60 day window for the first day of your stay, is that still the case? I assume that would give us more chance of getting these reservations as the majority of people wouldn't have access to those days... if so do they just show up when signed in?

Any advice would be appreciated

You can put your name down for Soace 220 bar on the day (the bar serves some food also) if you just want to see it.

Reservations for the restaurant are like gold dust and the food doesn’t excite me.

Be Our Guest doesn’t get great reviews since they changed to a prix fixe.

You can book 60 + 10 when your date of arrival is valid providing you are staying onsite.

The dates should automatically turn blue to allow you to book those days.
I would also have the Disneyworld web site open on a laptop as occasionally it is easier to book on there.

Thanks guys

The Space 220 lounge can now be booked as an ADR (changed this week). The bar is still walk up but no children allowed at the bar.

No availability for our dates in January though.

I would make it a priority when your dates are available.
