    Hi. The app has allowed me to book character dining at Plaza Gardens for 8:15am. I am not staying at a Disney hotel, would I still be able to get through even though I won’t have early access to magic hour?

    Bonjour, Kiran and welcome to planDisney.

    It looks as though you're going to be "walking right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A." at Disneyland Park, tomorrow - it doesn't get much more exciting than that!

    A Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens Restaurant is a practically perfect way to start any day at Disneyland Paris. Not only is there a vast variety of food available from the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, including Mickey Mouse waffles which are my daughter's absolute favourite, it's a great way of being able to meet and greet with Disney Characters without having to wait in line.

    I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Kiran but, at breakfast, the 8:15am slot is exclusively reserved for guests staying at the Disney Hotels (excluding Davy Crockett Ranch) and Infinity and Magic Plus Annual Pass holders. This is noted when you click on "See the menu" for Character Dining at Plaza Gardens Restaurant, when making dining reservations via the Disneyland Paris App.

    However, the good news is that all guests are welcome at the 9:45am slot.

    I have just checked availability for 4 people on both the 9th and 10th June 2025 and am delighted to tell you that reservations for the 9:45am slot, on both of those dates, were still available so, I would highly recommend that you make a reservation for the 9:45am slot and cancel your existing reservation for the 8:15am slot, ASAP.

    If, for any reason, there is no availability for the 9:45am slot when you search, my best advice would be to keep checking frequently, including on the morning of the day you'd like to dine there, as cancellations do occur, often at short notice, as other guests firm up their plans.

    Lastly, if all else fails, you could also head straight over to the restaurant, once you are able to enter the park at 9:30am, to ask if there are any tables free for the 9:45am slot, that day.

    Kiran, I will be keeping my fingers crossed that you're able to snag a 9:45am reservation for a Character Breakfast at Plaza Gardens Restaurant, during your visit.

    Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
