Hiya Annie,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for submitting your question to us.
As a fellow planner, I love that you are looking into
advanced dining reservations! Guests can see which dining locations have reservation times available and on which days through the
Disneyland Resort website or
Disneyland Mobile App. Just so you know, while you can see the dining reservation availability, you cannot book the reservation time until at least 60 days before the visit date. So on the 60-day mark before the visit date, log into your MyDisney account early, check the reservation times available, and click to book your preferred reservation time! "All it takes is faith and trust!"
If you cannot make a reservation on the 60-day mark, don’t forget to check for Guest cancellations constantly! In the past, I’ve had luck checking the day before for last-minute reservations to
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. I like to periodically check throughout the day, as Guests can cancel up to 24 hours before their dining reservation without penalty. Once the reservation is available, be sure to grab it quickly because several other Guests are also hoping for cancellations to come through and will book it as soon as possible!
Tip from Tiffany: If you cannot secure a dining reservation before your visit, you may be able to join the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up List! Certain dining locations (including Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar) have a walk-up list that guests can join (either at the restaurant or through the Disneyland Mobile App) to fill in any remaining tables at different times throughout the day! The walk-up list is first come, first serve, so be sure to go directly towards the restaurant at rope drop to make it onto the list!
If you have other questions about the Disneyland Resort, remember - you’ve got a friend in me!
