Walt Disney World dining reservations open 60 days before each date, at about 6:00 AM Eastern online and in the My Disney Experience app. The phone line opens at 7:00 AM Eastern.
That is the earliest most guests can book a table, not a limit on planning your trip. Staying at a Disney Resort hotel? You can book dining for every day of your stay, up to a 10-night stay, on the morning your check-in date is 60 days away. The last days of a long stay open up to about 70 days ahead.

The 60-day window, in plain terms
Each morning, one more date opens for restaurants and for dining events booked the same way. Subtract 60 days from your dining date to find your booking morning. For a November 10 dinner, that is September 11. Staying at a Disney World hotel? You can book your whole stay, up to a 10-night stay, 60 days before check-in. Our booking calculator does the math and shows the opening time in your time zone.
6:00 AM Eastern is 5:00 AM Central, 4:00 AM Mountain and 3:00 AM Pacific. Most of Arizona does not change its clocks, so from mid-March to early November it is 3:00 AM there. In Alaska it is 2:00 AM. In Hawaii it is midnight in summer and 1:00 AM in winter. In the UK it is about 11:00 AM for most of the year, and about 10:00 AM for two to three weeks in March and for about a week around the end of October, because the US and UK change their clocks on different dates.
Disney says new dates open at approximately 6:00 AM Eastern. It does not give an exact minute. Disney Food Blog suggests trying from 5:45 AM, so be signed in by then.
What time do Disney World day-60 tables actually appear?
We have not started timing Disney World's opening mornings ourselves yet (Disneyland came first, in August 2026).
An alert you set now, for a date up to 180 days away, starts checking on the morning that date opens to everyone, 60 days before. Disney hotel guests can book earlier than that, so book those days yourself.
Does Disney World dining open at midnight?
No. Restaurant reservations do not open at midnight. Disney says new dates open at approximately 6:00 AM Eastern, and Disney Food Blog reports that some tables appear a few minutes before 6:00.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is booked through Disney's Enchanting Extras Collection. Disney says these open from 6:00 AM Eastern on the day the 60-day window opens. Some guests report seeing dates earlier, but do not count on it.
Booking by phone: 7:00 AM Eastern
Disney's dining phone line, (407) 939-3463, opens at 7:00 AM Eastern. That is an hour after the website and the app. If you want a table on the morning its date opens, book online.
Staying at a Disney Resort hotel? Book your whole stay at once
If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you book one day at a time. November 10, 2026 opens on September 11, 2026 (60 days before), and November 15, 2026 opens on September 16, 2026. If you check in on November 10 for 5 nights at a Disney Resort hotel, you can book dining for every day of that stay, November 10 through November 15, on September 11, 2026. Disney's rule covers up to a 10-night stay.
This is why a restaurant can look full at 6:01 AM on your day-60 morning. Disney Resort hotel guests whose stay includes that date may have booked it up to about 10 days earlier.
Missed the morning? Cancellations reappear
Disney says a cancelled reservation time is made available to other guests right away. At most table-service restaurants, cancelling is free until 2 hours before. Dinner shows, dessert parties and some premium restaurants need more notice. So tables can come back right up to the day.
A free MagicFinders alert watches the restaurant, date and party size you want. We check around the clock and email you when a check finds a table. You book it in your own Disney account. Our guide to the cancellation policy has the rules.
Does Disney release cancelled reservations at a set time?
No. Disney puts a cancelled time back up for other guests as soon as it is cancelled, so cancellations reappear one by one through the day. Disney does not announce them. Planning sites suggest checking the evening before and during the day itself. We will publish our own timing once we have 30 days of data.
At popular restaurants, a cancelled table can be booked again within minutes. Disney does not announce when one comes back.
Is there a waitlist or walk-up list for Disney World restaurants?
There is no advance waitlist. On the day, select restaurants offer a walk-up list in the My Disney Experience app when they have room. You must be nearby to join. For a set restaurant and date, your options are the 60-day morning and cancellations.
What is the 60+10 rule?
It is a nickname for the hotel-guest rule above. With a Disney Resort hotel reservation, you can book dining for every day of your stay, up to a 10-night stay, on the morning your check-in date is 60 days away.
A guest checking in on the 1st can book dining for the first 10 nights of the stay on the morning the 1st is 60 days away. That is up to 10 days before guests without a Disney hotel stay can book the last of those dates.
When cancelled tables come back
Once the numbers are ready, this block shows two things from our own checks: the time of day cancelled tables came back, and how many minutes an opening stayed bookable as we saw it. Each comes with its sample size and date range.
Questions
What time do Disney World dining reservations open in Central time?
About 5:00 AM Central. Disney sets the time in Eastern time (about 6:00 AM online, 7:00 AM by phone), so it is an hour earlier on a Central clock.
What time do Disney World dining reservations open in the UK?
About 11:00 AM UK time for most of the year. For two to three weeks in March, and for about a week around the end of October, it is about 10:00 AM, because the US and UK change their clocks on different dates.

60 days before the date, at about 6:00 AM Eastern. If you stay at a Disney Resort hotel, you can book every day of your stay, up to a 10-night stay, on the morning your check-in date is 60 days away.

Can I set an alert before my date opens?
Yes. For restaurants and events, you can set an alert for any date up to 180 days away. It shows as Scheduled until Disney opens the date, 60 days before, and we start checking that morning.
