Although we’re still celebrating Halloween in Disney World, with decorations, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and food, we know we have to start looking ahead to the holiday season in Disney World.
That means we’re already making plans for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, BUT we also have to think about Thanksgiving. If you’re planning on visiting Disney World on Thanksgiving, you’re probably going to want to eat somewhere special, right? Well, you’ll certainly need to make advance dining reservations as soon as they’re available, so we’re going to help you with that.
So get ready to set those alarms for this date: September 24th, 2023! That’s when you’ll be able to make dining reservations for Thanksgiving in Disney World. We expect things to be pretty busy around that time, so you need to get on those on that date!
Remember, though, if your trip starts BEFORE September 24th, you can make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of your stay for up to 10 days. So if you’ll be arriving in Disney World BEFORE Thanksgiving, make sure you know when that 60-day window begins.
You can make dining reservations on Disney World’s website, through the My Disney Experience app, or by calling call 407-WDW-DINE (3463). Online reservations are usually available by 6AM, but we’ve seen them open up as early as 5:45AM (EST). The reservation phone line will be open as of 7AM EST.
