Hi there Jennifer! Your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is coming up so soon, how exciting!
Dining reservations for popular restaurants such as Plaza Inn and Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland Park can be tough to get, as they're two of the most popular dining experiences at the Disneyland Resort. However, do not give up hope! Let's take a look at a few options for your upcoming trip.
My first recommendation is to keep looking for dining reservations all the way up to your trip, including the day of! Plans change for Guests all the time, and dining reservations do become available at later dates. I've had luck with securing last minute dining reservations, so I would keep checking the Disneyland site and
Disneyland app.
The second recommendation would be to see if either location is offering
mobile dine walk-up availability. You can check for availability in the Disneyland app, or by scanning a QR code near the restaurant entrance. If there is availability, you'll be able to confirm your party details, and be notified when your table is ready. Availability can fluctuate throughout the day, so even if there isn't availability at the current time, you can keep checking back.
If you're looking for a great character dining experience, I also highly recommend exploring
Storytellers Cafe and
Goofy's Kitchen. Both are located at Disneyland Resort Hotels, so it's a great option even if you do not have a theme park ticket for that day! We've had great experiences at both, and our kids loved interacting with their favorite Disney pals at both restaurants.
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip, Jennifer! If we can help with anything else before your vacation, don't hesitate to
come back and ask.
Have a magical day!
