Disney Dining Reservation Calculator
Find the day each Disney dining reservation window opens for your meals — counted in calendar dates in the park’s own time zone, shown in park time and your time, with Disney’s page linked and dated. Anything Disney has not published stays marked as unknown. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere but the calculator.

Disney dining reservation calculator FAQ
How far in advance can you make Disney dining reservations?
Disney publishes a 60-day advance window for dining reservations at Walt Disney World and a 60-day window at Disneyland Resort. Days are counted as calendar dates in the park’s own time zone — not 24-hour periods from your device clock — so daylight-saving changes and leap days never move the date.

What time do Disney World dining reservations open?
We have not verified a current opening time for Walt Disney World dining reservations, so the calculator gives the date and an all-day reminder instead of inventing a time.

What time do Disneyland dining reservations open?
Disneyland Resort does not publish a release time we could verify for its dining window, so the calculator gives you the date only and a clearly labelled all-day calendar reminder rather than inventing a time.

How does a Walt Disney World hotel stay change the window?
Guests at a qualifying Walt Disney World hotel can book dining 60 days before check-in for up to 10 nights of their stay, rather than before each meal. Whether your hotel qualifies is your selection — the calculator labels it as an assumption, uses the standard window when you are not sure, and never merges separate stays.

Does the calculator book a table or set an alert?
No. It only calculates dates and offers a calendar file you download. It does not connect to a Disney account, schedule anything on a server or send you messages. If a restaurant is already full, you can choose to set up a dining alert separately.
