    Can you help me book a storytellers cafe dinner reservation? We are staying at the hotel and it is my partners birthday, and this is how she wants to celebrate. Thank you

    Hi there, Lexi! Welcome to planDisney! A birthday stay at the Grand Californian and plans to dine at Storytellers Cafe sound like a dream. That’s my favorite hotel on property, and of course, celebrating a birthday with Mickey and his pals is nothing short of magical. I’d love to walk you through how to make that dining reservation so you’re good to go!

    You’ll want to begin by selecting Make Reservation, or if you’re on the Disneyland app, you’ll tap the (≡) and then tap Reserve Dining. From there, you’ll want to select your party size, date, time, and location. It’ll be the same setup whether you make the reservation on the app or the desktop site. These steps will allow you to choose exactly when you plan to dine.

    Dinner reservations at Storytellers Cafe are available from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, which you’ll want to keep in mind if that’s the menu you plan to feast on! If you find that there are no reservations for the date of your choosing, I highly recommend checking back often. You’ll find that Guests may cancel as the date approaches, leaving you with a reservation to snag.

    Lexi, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. I hope you and your partner have a wonderful time celebrating her birthday! Be sure to note that you’re celebrating a birthday when you make that reservation for some extra pixie dust your way. If you have any more questions until then, planDisney is here to help!

    With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
