Planning- how far out

[meganew]

I’ve been to Disney twice now in the last 5 years but this feels like the first trip we’re planning thanks to all these new changes.

We’re staying on property from 3/26 - 4/2, we have our tickets and room purchased but I know we need to make reservations at which park we’ll be going to on which day. Which crowd calendar would you suggest using? I remember seeing one that made specific recommendations for each park but I can’t remember which one it was.

Is dining still planned 90 days in advance? And is it still pretty cutthroat in terms of signing on first thing am? Lol.

Anyone have any tips for planning post (during)-Covid?

I use touringplans as a guide when picking my park days. I do believe the crowd calendars are part of the paid service.

For now dining is 60 days out. I think some things are hard to get but not everything. It really just depends on what you want. I think there are still restaurants that are not open, so that impacts things as well. If you are planning to dine at Disney Springs many of those restaurants are on Open Table and can be booked earlier than 60 days ahead.

Things are going to change with Genie + launching tomorrow. Definitely curious to see how it goes so I can figure out how we want to incorporate into our planning. I know some people liked not having FP but I was not one of them.

I am hoping the early access for resort guests continue. The extended evening hours at EP and MK sound very useful for Deluxe guests, I hope that continues as well.
