Hi there Jennifer,

You will need to visit the official Disney World website to set up a My Disney Experience account if you haven't already!  This new site feature makes it easy for guests to plan every aspect of their Disney vacations online.  Once you've created your free account simply log in and hover your mouse over the My Disney Experience tab at the top right of the screen (Look for the little Mickey Head inside of a circle).

A menu will drop down and you'll want to click on the My Reservations link.  This will direct you to the reservations page where you'll be able to link your resort reservation by clicking the help us link it link when prompted.  Now you will be able to enter your resort confirmation number which should link your resort reservation to your online My Disney Experience profile.

Now, any time you make dining reservations online, they will appear in your My Disney Experience profile under the Reservations tab.  When logged in, the system will automatically recognize your arrival date and you will be able to make your dining reservations online at the 180 days +10 mark!

Please be sure to let me know if I can clarify any of these steps for you as your 180-day window approaches!

Best Wishes,

Amanda F.
