    I'm trying to book a dining reservation at Disneyland CA Adventure for 7 of us on 8/11, and I can book 6 but not 7 people. Trying for Carthay Circle around 2:00?

    Hey there, hi there, Steven! Welcome to planDisney. We are thrilled to see you drop by with a planning question for us. 

     It sounds like you are in the planning stages of your upcoming visit. I love a mid-afternoon dining reservation to take a little break in the day. Carthay Circle Lounge is a fantastic option, and I'm sorry you can't find a reservation for the number in your party. Larger parties are always harder to get reservations for. My suggestion would be to take the reservation for 6 or make two reservations in smaller numbers to equal your party. Then, head to Carthay Circle earlier in the day to speak with a Cast Member and inquire if they think they will be able to accommodate 1 extra Guest in your reservation or if they will be able to seat your two reservations together/next to each other. If they don't think they can accommodate, then you have enough time to cancel your reservation. Reservations need to be cancelled at least two hours in advance to avoid a per-person cancellation fee. Then you could always try the mobile walk-up list in the Disneyland app as a backup option that afternoon.

    If Carthay Circle doesn't work out, I also suggest Lamplight Lounge or Lamplight Lounge Boardwalk Dining for a midafternoon break. This is a family favorite place for us to unwind in the afternoon. Speaking of food, be sure to check out the 70th Celebration Foodie Guide to see what other limited-time options and treats you might be interested in throughout the resort.

    Steven, thanks so much for bringing us your question. Be sure to come back with any other planning questions you might have!
