    My family will be celebrating Mother's Day in Disneyland this year, and I was wondering if there were any special events that take place, or if there was anywhere special we can make brunch reservations for? Plaza Inn has no reservations for May 10th.

    Hi there, Lisa! Welcome to planDisney. Mother’s Day at Disneyland sounds like every mom’s dream! I know if I were going on my special day, my son would be squealing with excitement right along with me. I’d love to help you plan this holiday as you celebrate such a special day with your family.

    I went ahead and took a look at the reservations for Plaza Inn and saw what you were probably seeing as well. It appears Plaza Inn is blocked out while the days after it are open for booking. The only reason I can think of for this is that they have yet to announce when their Mother’s Day Brunch reservations will open. I also took a look at the rest of the character dining experiences and noticed that the 10th is blocked out as well. My go-to move here is to keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog and to follow Disneyland on Instagram for updates on when booking will open. While most restaurant reservations are available up to 60 days in advance, special events like Mother’s Day don’t necessarily follow this guideline. I noticed when helping another guest make a booking for April that it was also blocked out for Goofy’s Kitchen until it was announced that reservations would open toward the end of February rather than the typical 60-day window you’d usually see for dining reservations.

    If you’re looking for a sweet activity that any mom is sure to love, why not pop into Silhouette Studio for a silhouette cutting? I love having one of my son as a mom myself! You can include multiple people in one portrait, and it’s such a fun way to create a keepsake treasure. We placed our framed silhouette of my son on one of our floating shelves in the living room, and it’s so special to look at every day. It’s also astonishing to see how quickly the Cast Member doing the cutting works!

    Lisa, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. Be sure to pick up a carnation on your way into the parks as part of the classic Mother’s Day tradition on this special day. I just know you’re going to have a wonderful time with your family. If you have any more questions or need help planning this visit, planDisney is always here for you.

    With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
