Hey there Amy,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question! I'm happy to hear that you're planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort but sorry to hear that you're having trouble finding a reservation for that special spot that you had your heart set on!
While dining locations at the Disneyland Resort don't offer cancellation wait lists, I still will typically recommend that people check back frequently as they get closer to their trip as you never know if more reservations might open up due to cancellations. You can keep checking through the dining location's page on the Disneyland Resort website or from the
My Plans hub.
Additionally, as you mentioned, you can use the
mobile dine walk-up availability feature through the Disneyland Resort website on the day of your visit! If you end up using this tool then I would recommend checking as soon as you can, but I have had quite a bit of luck using this method in the past.
Thanks again for your question, Amy! Good luck in reserving your
dining reservations, and - more importantly - have so much fun on your upcoming visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
