Hello Bruce,
Thanks for stopping in to see us here at planDisney!
I'm happy to hear you're planning your visit to the Disneyland Resort. It looks like you might be visiting during the holiday season, and that's just wonderful to see. The
holiday season is always such a special time to visit the Disneyland Resort with all the festive magic that sparkles in the air.
You can begin to
look for dining reservations for the Disneyland Resort restaurants starting at 60 days in advance of your arrival. Simply start by going to the dining reservations page to see
the list of restaurants and dining experiences. You can click on and select the restaurant you're interested in such as the
Carnation Cafe.
Next, you can click on the "Check Availability" button and it will prompt you to sign in to your Disneyland Resort account if you're not already signed in. You can enter your desired date and time and party size and search for available times to select.
You can also use the
Disneyland Resort mobile app to search for and select available reservation times. If you know the specific restaurant, as you do in your case, you might find it easier to tap the magnifying glass icon in the app's main menu and type the name of the restaurant to display that restaurant more quickly. You can then enter your desired date and time and party size and search for available times to select.
Bruce, it's helpful to know that dining reservation choices can be posted and made available to search and select at any time. If you don't see a reservation available to select, the suggestion is to keep checking back. New dining reservation choices can appear at any time during your reservation selection window that starts at 60 days.
Here's wishing you a wonderful and fun visit to the Disneyland Resort this holiday season!
Jerry
