180 + 10

[DisneyChild1968]

This is my first post...I have read these forums for years.... My husband and I are celebrating our 11th Anniversary in Walt Disney World the week of October 12. Our Anniversary is on October 16th. We have been discussing restaurants and where we want to eat and I have decided on most of the places. However, I would really like to eat at Be Our Guest on the evening of our Anniversary. Beauty and the Beast is my FAVORITE Disney movie. I have read that you need to book 180 days out +10 if you stay on property. We are but does that mean I can start booking at 190 days out? Could someone clarify that for me? Many thanks in advance!

Welcome aboard

You book your Advanced Dining Reservations at 180 days (just like everyone else) BUT you can book for the first 10 days of your stay, as long as you've got a Disney Resort reservation

Thanks! I really appreciate that info. I will definitely begin at 180 days out! I hope that I will be able to get BOG on that night...but it really doesn't matter. Our Anniversary will be special on it's own merit, because we will be at Disney World, it will be extra special!!! We haven't been since 2007 and we are both so excited!!!

I booked our ADRs about two weeks ago and got BOG on the night we wanted at just 35 minutes before our preferred dining time. As long as you're on your computer at 6am Florida time, or on the phone by 7am you should be fine. Just be prepared to be flexible with your dining times.

I definitely will! I am soooo thrilled! I can hardly wait!! So many things have changed, it will be like going for the first time. I definitely will be flexible. Thanks for your help! This forum is the greatest place for information!

We enjoyed our 15th wedding anniversary at the World. The CM at Liberty Tree Tavern saw my pin and gave us a beautiful Mickey and Minnie ornament as an anniversary gift. So sweet.

Tip - When they write your # on the Happy Anniversary pin, ask them to put tape over it so it doesn't smudge off. We learned that from a CM in the Contemporary.

Yes, you can make the reservation 180 days out, not any sooner. Definitely be on the phone and on the computer ready to book when the lines open. Those reservations go fast! When you book, also mention your anniversary and let us know what special surprise you get. Enjoy!

That is a great tip! Do I get this when I check-in at the hotel? Or when I enter the park?

I will definitely do that! That is all part of the Disney "Magic"....they make you feel so special!!!

That is so sweet! I would be thrilled if something like that happened! But of course, I will be thrilled enough just being there!!!

The CM will have a variety of pins at the resort when you check in. They also have them at guest relations in each park. Have a magical anniversary!
