We’ve got a major heads-up for anyone planning to make their Disney World dining reservations tomorrow!


Tramonto Cocktail at Topolino’s Terrace


Whether it’s a major holiday or a long weekend, most holidays tend to bring some serious CROWDS to Disney World! But don’t forget, it’s not just during the trip itself that the increased traffic can impact you — upcoming holidays can also make it more difficult to book reservations while you’re still in the planning stages of your vacation!



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Are you planning to visit Disney World on Labor Day this year? If so, this warning is for you!


Breakfast at Crystal Palace


Advance Dining Reservations in Disney World open up to all guests 60 days in advance of the meal. Since Labor Day falls on September 7th this year, that means dining reservations for Labor Day will be available for all guests to book starting TOMORROW, July 9th!


Skull Bar at The Beak and Barrel


Labor Day is typically a popular holiday at Disney World. Since it falls on a Monday, the parks get both a lot of people visiting just for the long weekend, and another big batch of travelers visiting for the whole week. Between the overlap of those two groups coming and going, plus local Annual Passholders coming to enjoy their day off, Labor Day itself is typically SUPER busy!


Space 220


Keep in mind that Disney World Resort hotel guests may make reservations up to 60 days in advance, plus the length of their stay, up to 10 days. (So, 60 days before the first day of your stay, you can make reservations for the entire trip, even for days that are more than 60 days out.) With that in mind, if you’ll be staying in a Disney World hotel during Labor Day but arrive before the holiday itself, you can already make your Labor Day dining reservations now. That could be a HUGE leg up ahead of everyone else staying off-property, so be sure to make your reservations today if you fall into that category!


The Hollywood Brown Derby


If you’re not staying at a Disney World hotel, OR you are but arrive on Labor Day, remember that dining reservations for the holiday open tomorrow morning, and popular spots will book up FAST with the increased crowds. Dining reservations open online as early as 6:00 AM ET, and we recommend signing in to your My Disney Experience account at least 15 minutes before then to make sure you’re ready to go!

Our top tip for increasing your chances of getting your top choices is to make a list of your highest-priority reservations ahead of time, and start with those first. Keep in mind that places like character meals, signature restaurants, and new locations often tend to be among the first places to book up, so be EXTRA diligent about prioritizing those if they’re on your list!


The Evil Queen at Story Book Dining with Snow White


Sending good vibes to everyone getting ready to snag those Labor Day reservations bright and early tomorrow morning! For the latest updates on news from the Disney parks, Disney Cruise Line, and more, stay tuned with us here at Magical Guides!
