    How many days in advance can I book character dining at Plaza Inn?

    Hi there, Jackie! Welcome to planDisney. There’s nothing more magical than the beginning stages of planning a visit to The Happiest Place on Earth! Of course, my favorite kind of planning is when it involves something rumbly in my tummy. I’d love to walk you through the dining reservation process so that you’re one step closer to the magic!

    Dining reservations at select restaurants, including Plaza Inn, can be made up to 60 days in advance. Since you’re still outside of that 60 day window, you’ll want to start checking around mid-August to secure those reservations. Plaza Inn is always bustling with Guests as they dine with Minnie and her friends. In addition to Plaza Inn, use that 60 day window to book any other reservations you may be interested in. October is such a fun time, especially at Goofy’s Kitchen if you’re looking for another breakfast hot spot. We love dining here during spooky season because Goofy and his best buds are donning their Halloween best!

    October has become my favorite time to visit the parks! The Californian sun still shines bright enough for t-shirts and shorts, and the decor and seasonal overlay at the Haunted Mansion are hard to beat. In addition, Oogie Boogie Bash will be in full swing. This ticketed event usually begins selling in the summer, from my past experience, and can sell out quickly. We loved going last year with my son, where he trick-or-treated along candy trails to his heart’s content and enjoyed rides with little to no wait! This is an event I hope to attend again this year. Be sure to keep an eye out for more information over on the Disney Parks Blog as we get closer to the sale date!

    Jackie, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. I hope this information is helpful as you continue to plan your spooky visit to the parks. If you have any more questions before then, planDisney is here to help!

    With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
