Times/mileages are from the villa driveway to the parking lot and were recorded on journeys we have actually made.

Disney Dining

Many of the Disney restaurants are fully booked up to 180 days in advance, which means you may not be able to just walk up and get a seat. When planning your stay, check out where you'd like to eat and make that reservation. You can always cancel if you change your mind! This is particularly important when planning Disney character meals. If you find it is booked online, you could try calling - USA (from UK add "001" at the beginning) 407-WDW-DINE or 407-939-3463 as sometimes they have availability. Be flexible on your dates and times if you can!
