Hi, Jerry!
Welcome to planDisney! I am glad you sent your question our way. A springtime visit to
Disneyland Resort sounds like a wonderful way to welcome the warmer weather.
Dining reservations at Disneyland work a bit differently from Walt Disney World. Guests can book dining up to 60 days in advance, but there is no length-of-stay option, regardless of where you are staying. This means you will need to make each day's reservations as its 60-day window opens. The good news is that
reservations typically become available around 6 AM PST in my experience, which means you won't have to wake up quite so early from North Carolina to secure the dining experiences you are hoping for!
You are going to love
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel! I love the modern design, and the location truly can't be beat. My family stayed in an adorable
Princess and the Frog-themed Deluxe Studio not too long ago, and it was such a delight! Be sure to set aside time to enjoy the pools, and don't miss the Monorail-themed waterslide!
Jerry, I'm sorry this wasn't the news you were hoping for, but I'm wishing you all the luck in grabbing reservations at your preferred dining spots. If something isn't available right away, keep checking back. Some restaurants don't release reservations exactly at the 60-day mark, and cancellations pop up all the time. Have a wonderful trip!
Magic Happens!
