Welcome to planDisney, Courtney!
It sounds like you're gearing up to feast at The Happiest Place On Earth this October. I’m glad to help you get your Donald Ducks in a row before you arrive! Have you already heard about the new fall menu at my favorite restaurant,
Storytellers Cafe? I can’t wait to see the characters strut their stuff in their special fall outfits at Mickey’s Autumn Adventures Buffet for Breakfast and Brunch!
Courtney, you can begin to make your
dining reservations up to 60 days in advance, either on the Disneyland website or through the
Disneyland Mobile App. From my experience, reservations usually pop up around 6:00 AM Pacific Time, but the exact timing can be a bit of a Disney mystery. Like where exactly the
Dapper Dans go in between songs, or how the Genie manages to fit all that magic into a tiny lamp!
If you don't see your desired reservation date or time right away, don't lose hope! Keep checking throughout the morning and the following days. Sometimes, they don't get released exactly 60 days in advance. If you're still having trouble snagging a spot, you can always use the
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability feature in the app during your visit. Guests’ plans can change faster than Lumiere can shout “Be Our Guest”, so there may be something there that wasn’t there before!
Well, in the immortal words of King Scar, I hope this helps you “
Be Prepared!" for the moment the tables open up, Courtney! If you need
more tips or have more questions as you continue to plan, just
give me a shout– I’m here to help.
You’ve got a friend in me!Danielle
