Hi there, Peter!
Welcome to
planDisney, and thanks so much for asking us a question as you make plans for your
Disneyland Resort vacation. I’m happy to hear you were able to book a reservation for a
dining location on your must-do list!
As mentioned in your dining confirmation email, Guests do have the option of checking in for dining reservations at select table-service restaurants using the
Disneyland mobile app. However,
mobile check-in is not required! You are more than welcome to check-in at the host stand located just outside the restaurant upon arrival. In my experience, all you need to provide is the name that was used to make the reservation. The Cast Member who greets you will confirm your reservation time, the number of adults and children in your party, any special dietary needs, and if you’re celebrating a special occasion. Save the email you received in case you need to reference the reservation details or confirmation number in the future.
Keep in mind that the credit card you have stored on file is being used to guarantee your dining reservation. It will be charged a per-person cancellation fee if your party does not arrive at the restaurant as scheduled, so please be sure to modify or cancel your reservation if your plans change.
I hope this information is helpful, Peter, and that you enjoy a delicious meal at the restaurant you’ve chosen! Please don’t hesitate to
write back with any other questions you may have as your pixie-dusted planning continues.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
