Howdy Haley!
A great big warm welcome to planDisney! It is almost time for your magical vacation to begin!
Dining reservations can be booked up to 60 days in advance, using the
Disneyland Resort App, via the Disneyland Resort
website or by calling (714) 781-DINE (714-781-3463). But, if you’re unable to snag a reservation at your desired location, don’t lose hope! I recommend checking back closer to your desired date, you may be able to grab a dining reservation at your favorite location due to someone else’s last-minute cancellation. If all else fails, check with a Cast Member at the host stand of the restaurant to inquire if there is walk-up availability on the day of your visit. I have had luck with this method in the past.
When it comes to making
Lightning Lane selections using Disney Genie+, you will need to wait until the day of your visit. Once you’ve scanned into the theme park turnstiles, you may begin to make your selections. Then, you’ll be able to select the next available arrival time at select attractions throughout the rest of the day. And, if you have a Park Hopper ticket, you can make a Lightning Lane reservation for either park during the Park Hopper hours. Even if you’re at the other park!
I hope this information is helpful! Have a wonderful vacation at “The Happiest Place on Earth!”
