Hiya, Emily. Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you've stopped by with such an excellent question.
Disneyland Resort
theme park reservations generally open 180 days before a specific date (unless you are a Magic Key holder - then it's 60 days before). You might even notice that it is a rolling calendar, so reservations are available through the first week of November, and you should be able to snag a reservation for November 3rd right now! Emily, I love that you are planning ahead because November is during the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, and reservations are popular during this time. The seasonal decor and snacks make it one of my favorite times of the year!
Once you've secured your theme park reservation, you will want to come back at the 60-day mark to book any advanced dining reservations. You can book
dining on the Disneyland website or right in the
Disneyland Mobile App! Some of my favorite places to dine are Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian and
Lamplight Lounge in California Adventure. Though
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe in Disneyland is my go-to during the fall and winter. Their Jolly Holiday Combo, which comes with a toasted cheese sandwich with tomato basil soup, is close to perfection. You can mobile order at this quick service location - no reservation needed.
I hope this information helps, Emily. I'm here for you if you have any other questions. Wishing you happy planning!
See you in the parks,
Melissa
