Never miss your Disney booking windows
We’ll send you a text when your booking window opens for dining and Lightning Lanes.
Booking alerts
Alerts when it’s your time to book
We text you the night before and 5 minutes before Disney opens dining and Lightning Lane booking for your trip.
- Dining opens 60 days before check-in, at 6 am
- Lightning Lanes open 7 days before (3 if you stay off site), at 7 am
- A text the night before at 8 pm, so you can set an alarm
- And 5 minutes before so you’re signed in when it opens
- Free for one trip. Sign in any time to change the dates.
- Reply STOP to stop, HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.
- We never sell or share your number. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and your opt-in consent is never shared. See our privacy policy and terms of service.
How booking alerts work
- Tell us your trip. Where you’re staying and your dates. Staying off site works too.
- We work out your mornings. Disney World dining opens 60 days before check-in. Lightning Lanes open 7 days before for Disney resort guests and 3 days before for everyone else.
- We text you twice for each one. At 8 pm the night before, so you can set an alarm, and 5 minutes before it opens, so you’re signed in when it does.
Common questions
Is it free?
Your first trip is free. Planning more than one? The plans in step 2 cover more trips, and every paid room alert plan includes trips too.
Do you book for me?
No. We tell you when; you book on Disney’s site or app. We’re an independent site, not part of Disney.
What if I’m staying off site?
Pick “Not at a Disney Resort” and we text you before your first day opens. Off site, each later day opens one morning after the last, at the same time.
Does it work for Disneyland?
Yes, for dining, which opens 60 days ahead at 6 am Pacific. Lightning Lane passes at Disneyland are bought on the day, in the app, so there’s nothing to remind you about.
I’m a travel advisor. Can I set these up for clients?
Yes. Your name or agency goes on every text, and each client says yes once by text. See the plans for travel agents.
