Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Rosemary!
Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by, and we are so excited to answer your question and help you plan your upcoming trip to the Disneyland Resort! It looks like you will be visiting the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH in a few weeks! WOO HOO! We know you are going to have the BEST TIME!
While you ask a great question, I do not have a definitive answer for you. I recommend checking for
Disneyland Dining Reservations online between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. (PST). If, for some reason, reservations are not available to Guests at that time, my recommendation would be to check back periodically throughout the day. I have talked with several Guests who tried to book their dining reservation early in the morning, but no reservations were available. However, because of their persistence in checking back throughout the day, they were finally able to book reservations later that evening.
The moral of this story is to NOT give up in making a reservation! If you are not able to book a reservation for your preferred restaurant, start checking online reservations with more frequency a week before your scheduled trip. As you know, schedules can change, and Guests will cancel their reservations in order to avoid paying the no-show penalty. I also wanted you to know that many restaurants will take same-day reservations, if they are available. My recommendation would be to go directly to the restaurant and check reservation availability as soon as the restaurant opens.
I am wishing upon a star you are able to make your Disneyland Dining Reservations! If you need anything else, please let us know! We are just a question away!
See Ya Real Soon!
