DL Dining Reservations

Hi all -

I'm taking my first DL trip in May. What time do dining reservations open for booking at the 60 day mark? I've been Googling and have seen everything from 6am Eastern time, 6am Pacific time, middle of the night, 50 days out, and so on. Just trying to figure out when to set my clock! ;)

Reservations open at 6 am Pacific time. Occasionally some restaurants don't drop right away but I only had problems with that last June (2022) but no issues for my November 2022 trip or my upcoming April trip. If you are going for a World of Color dessert party those often drop earlier. I've gotten reservations at about 4-4:30 am Central time for it. I didn't set my alarm for it to try at that time, both times I just woke up and thought I would try and they were bookable.

Oh and it is 60 days out from the day you are trying for.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I'm in central time as well. I'm trying to get Blue Bayou for one of the days I am there. It looks like most other restaurants in the DL resort on my itinerary are fairly easy to book, but Blue Bayou goes quick.

Things should be there 60 days out, but things aren't always loaded in right at 60 days for some reason. So if something you want isn't there and looks like it's sold out, keep checking.

I wanted to book Blue Bayou for my trip last summer and kept seeing no availability again and again, despite looking from 60 days out onward. Suddenly a week later there were tons of prime time slots available, implying that beforehand they simply hadn't been in the system yet.
