    Me and my fiancé are coming to Disneyland to celebrate my 29th Birthday on May 29 (Champagne Birthday!). We are very excited! Could you please give recommendations about what restaurants are the best for this magical occasion? I need magic! Thank you!

    Hello there, Ekaterina! A Champagne Birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth? That’s not just a celebration, that’s an epic fairy tale in the making! Get ready for some serious pixie dust because this sounds like an unforgettable adventure!

    And guess what? It seems Mickey and his pals got the memo that you're coming for a grand birthday bash! The entire resort will be sparkling even more brightly while you visit during the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration! The parks will be adorned with festive décor, dazzling new entertainment, and so many delightful new treats to discover. It's like the whole resort is saying, "Happy Birthday, Ekaterina!".

    Now, speaking of treats and special occasions, you’re looking for restaurant recommendations fit for birthday royalty, and you want magic! You've come to the right place! I understand you’ll be exploring both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park throughout your three-day visit—what a splendid way to celebrate! That means we have a fabulous array of enchanting dining locations to consider across the entire resort. So, let’s embark on a culinary journey through some top picks!

    If you're dreaming of the ultimate in Disney luxury and a touch of Old Hollywood glamour, Carthay Circle Restaurant in Disney California Adventure Park is your spot! Imagine stepping back in time to an era of elegance—it’s truly a red-carpet dining experience.

    Or, perhaps you're drawn to the iconic Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland Park? Ahoy, birthday matey! This unique restaurant is nestled right inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, where you'll dine under an eternal twilight serenaded by the gentle sounds of the bayou (and maybe a distant "Yo Ho!"). I actually dined there myself just this past weekend, and—as always—it did not disappoint!

    If a vibrant, creative spot with delicious bites and story-filled sips is more your speed, then head over to Lamplight Lounge in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park. It celebrates the art of animation and is filled with fun Pixar details—perfect for a joyful birthday meal!

    And, last but not least, for a world-renowned culinary adventure just steps outside the parks, Din Tai Fung in the Downtown Disney District offers incredible Taiwanese cuisine, a fantastic option if you're looking for something that is equal parts delicious and spectacular!

    Dining reservations for most Disneyland Resort restaurants typically open 60 days in advance. Since your trip is this month, we are indeed within that booking window. If you peek at the Disneyland mobile app or dining reservations page of the website and don't see immediate availability for your preferred spot, don't worry! My best advice is to check early and check often. Guests' plans change all the time, and just like magic, a reservation can pop up when you least expect it! Keep wishing upon a star (and refreshing that app!).

    Ekaterina, I'm bubbling with excitement for your Champagne Birthday celebration! I hope these suggestions help you find the perfect place to make some unforgettable memories!
