Disney releases reservations exactly 60 days before the booking date. Resort guests get 60 days from check-in, then can book the rest of the stay. For Henderson (arriving Jul 12), your 60-day window opens May 13. Set an alarm for 5:58am EST.

Cancellations surge at 3 specific times: (1) 6–7am, when overnight checkers cancel, (2) exactly 2 hours before a reservation (when the cancellation fee kicks in), and (3) right when the 60-day window opens for a new date. MouseWatcher catches all of these automatically.

If Cinderella's Royal Table is fully booked: book a different time slot you can tolerate, then set a MouseDining/MouseWatcher alert for your ideal time. When the alert fires, book the ideal slot and cancel the original within 2 hours to avoid the $10/person fee.

When an alert fires, you have seconds before someone else grabs it. Before your trip: log into the My Disney Experience app or DisneyWorld.com, add your credit card, and save your party details. Practice the booking flow once so you know exactly where to tap when the moment comes.

MouseWatcher covers all your preferred dates under one alert per restaurant ($5 single, $10/mo unlimited). MouseDining needs a separate alert per date per meal period — use it for its free tier (6 alerts) to cover your top priorities. Use both for maximum coverage.

MouseDining lets multiple people receive the same alert. Add your travel agent Jamie's contact — if you miss the alert, Jamie can grab it for you. MouseWatcher also supports multiple notification contacts on paid plans.
