Hello Yvette!
A warm welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us your
Disneyland Resort vacation planning questions. It looks like you're planning a visit to The Happiest Place on Earth during the most magical time of year - how exciting! Nothing compares to celebrating the
holidays at the Disneyland Resort with the people you love. What I'd give to be enjoying a Mickey Gingerbread cookie near the flaming hearth in the lobby of
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa right about now...
Yvette, I firmly believe that planning a Disneyland Resort vacation is a magical experience in itself, and I'm happy to inform you that you're able to start planning your visit now! Currently,
Tenaya Stone Spa is accepting reservations through December 31, 2023 via the online booking tool on the website. I can't think of anything more relaxing than enjoying a rejuvenating massage and lounging at the oasis that is the Tenaya Stone Spa. I recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to your scheduled spa service to enjoy the spa amenities and relaxation areas, and to make the very most of your experience!
I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer to book your dining reservations, Yvette. On the bright side, that means you have more time to identify your "must-eats" throughout the Disneyland Resort!
Dining reservations for Table Service restaurants at the Disneyland Resort, including
Blue Bayou Restaurant, can be made up to 60 days in advance. I love browsing the menu options for the restaurants I'm interested in before my dining reservation window even opens. You can view online menus for
all dining locations at the Disneyland Resort! Yvette, Blue Bayou Restaurant is incredibly popular and, in my opinion, it's worth the hype. For that reason, I highly recommend being online and ready to book your dining reservation at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time exactly 60 days in advance. If you score a lunch reservation, try the Monte Cristo and, of course, no visit to
New Orleans Square is complete without a famous Mint Julep!
Yvette, I hope you enjoy every moment of your pampering at Tenaya Stone Spa and every bite of your delicious meal at Blue Bayou Restaurant. Since you'll be visiting during the holiday season, be sure to check out
"it's a small world" Holiday and
Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland Park for some festive fun! Over at Disney California Adventure Park, don't miss
World of Color - Season of Light. I'll never forget experiencing these special holiday offerings for the first time, and I highly recommend enjoying them with your loved ones. If you have any additional vacation planning questions, please feel free to stop by planDisney again anytime, Yvette. We're happy to help!
Enchantment awaits,
Lauren
