Hi, Lindsey! Hooray! I'm so excited that you will be visiting the Happiest Place on Earth this summer. Be prepared for two very magical days!
Dining reservations for all table service restaurants at the Disneyland Resort can be made up to 60 days in advance
online or by calling (714) 781-3463. While the entertainment schedule may only be available 30-45 days out from today's date, dining reservations can still be made at the 60-day mark.
Ariel's Grotto is an excellent choice and if you plan on having breakfast or lunch with Ariel and her princess friends, then I definitely suggest making a reservation as soon as you are able.
The World of Color Dessert Party is another great reservation to make early. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to view World of Color since you have reserved seats and you get to munch on delicious desserts and cheeses and sip sparkling wine! Keep in mind that payment is due when you reserve this dining event online or over the phone. But the price includes tax and gratuity, so once you are seated, you don't have to worry about a thing other than having a great time.
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel and I hope you return again with any other questions you may have!
