Hi there, Meredith. Welcome to planDisney!
How exciting you’ll be spending Christmas at the Happiest Place on Earth. It’s such a magical time to visit with
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort in full force. Since it is a popular time of the year to travel, crowd level is usually high during the days before and after Christmas. As a result, dining reservations are booked well in advance.
I took a quick peek at the Disneyland Resort website to
check dining availability for 5 Guests between 3 and 5 PM on Christmas Day as you had mentioned. At this time, I see there are time slots at
Wine Country Trattoria in Disney California Adventure. There are also plenty of availability if you wish to take a break from the theme parks and to dine and relax in
Downtown Disney District or at one of the hotels’ restaurants.
Céntrico currently has some availability (very limited so this may change) and I really like their taco selections. While there’s no guarantee, you may try to utilize the “Join a Walk-Up List” on the
Disneyland Mobile App once you’re at the theme parks. People also may change their travel plans and last-minute cancellations may happen. It’s worth checking for dining availability periodically since something may open up as it gets closer to your travel dates.
I wish you and your travel companions a wonderful time at the Disneyland Resort during Christmas. If you have further questions for us, please don’t hesitate to stop by
planDisney again.
Sending you pixie dust,
Kiki
