Welcome to planDisney, Omar! As the planner in my family, I know just how important it is to organize every detail of a Disney day. I’m happy to help you prepare!
I checked the
Daily Events Calendar on the Disneyland website, and showtimes for dates beyond July 2 haven’t been posted just yet. However, summer performance schedules usually follow a consistent pattern throughout the season, barring any unscheduled changes. I recommend using the times listed for July 1 as a guide. They should closely reflect the showtimes during your visit. I’d also suggest checking the calendar again in early June, as it will likely be updated to include the dates of your trip.
As you may know, Omar, guests can begin
booking reservations for select table-service restaurants up to 60 days in advance of their dining date. Since your booking window opened on May 16, I recommend securing your dining reservations as soon as possible. Start with the most popular spots on your list, like dining alongside the bayou at
Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland or enjoying Pixar-themed cocktails at
Lamplight Lounge in Disney California Adventure . Nothing says summer quite like sipping something cold on the waterfront!
If you aren’t able to grab a reservation right away, don’t worry! Availability often changes as guests update their plans, so it’s always worth checking back. You can also try using the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability feature in the
Disneyland app. Just check the app for open spots, add your party to the walk-up list, and wait for a notification when your table is ready. My wife and I have had great success with this method, including scoring seats at
Oga’s Cantina, where we cooled off with a Fuzzy Tauntaun while DJ R-3X spun a summer-ready setlist from across the galaxy!
Omar, the Disneyland Resort truly shines in the summer, from sweet seasonal churros to golden hour views of Sleeping Beauty Castle and warm evenings capped off with fireworks lighting up the sky. If you have any other questions or need help fine-tuning your itinerary, we hope you’ll stop by and see us again at planDisney.
Wishing you a summer full of sunshine, snacks, and unforgettable memories,
David
