Hi there, Ashleigh!
Welcome to planDisney. I am sorry that you are experiencing difficulties making a reservation at the Disneyland Hotel!
You may want to try checking again on the
Disneyland Resort website. Sometimes, Stitch temporarily messes with the system! Another option is to use an authorized travel planner to book your trip. I actually recommend that Guests visiting from outside of the United States use a travel planner because they have access to other booking resources. Many travel planners also help with making dining reservations and assisting with other plans. In the past, I have found travel planners by asking for recommendations from friends, searching online for "Authorized Disney Vacation Planner," or posting in a local mom's group on social media. If you would prefer to work directly with Disneyland, you can call the
Hotel Reservations line to make your vacation plans.
Did you know that dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance? Table service restaurants are very popular at Disneyland Resort, and I suggest making reservations as soon as they are available. My favorite restaurants include
Lamplight Lounge (yay for Lobster Nachos!),
Blue Bayou Restaurant (located inside Pirates of the Caribbean), and
Storyteller's Cafe (tasty brunch and fun Disney Characters). The Disneyland Hotel also has fantastic food options, including
Goofy's Kitchen. I recently took my kids there for breakfast, and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the Disney Character interactions were a hoot!
Ashleigh, I hope the rest of your vacation planning process goes smoothly. Please reach out to planDisney again if you have other questions!
Magic Happens!
