    Ashley from AZ Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    I'm a Disney Chase card member and would like to know if that can help me secure hard-to-book restaurants.

    Hi Ashley! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send us your question!

    Making Advanced Dining Reservations is always at the top of my list when planning a Disney Parks vacation! I also love using my Disney Rewards Visa for my Disney vacations due to all the great perks. Unfortunately, the perks of the card don't include securing harder-to-get dining reservations. I have some suggestions, though, that I hope will help you make the dining reservations you're wishing for. I would continue checking as often as you can, leading up to your arrival. Availability can change at any given moment, so you never know what you might be able to grab! I prefer to check first thing in the morning or at the very end of the day. If by chance you aren't able to make some of the dining reservations you were hoping for, you can use the Disneyland Mobile App during your visit to join the walk-up list at select dining locations. You need to be within close proximity to do this. You could also check in with a Cast Member at the entrance of the restaurant to see if there is any availability. 

    If you're interested in seeing what seasonal offerings you can look forward to, be sure to check out the Disney Eats: Disneyland Halloween Foodie Guide 2025. There are always so many yummy sips and bites to enjoy at Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney, and the Disneyland Resort Hotels!

    If you have more planning questions before you arrive at The Happiest Place on Earth, please feel free to send them to us at planDisney. We're excited for you to visit, and we would love to help!

    Wishing you magic,
    Lisa
