    If at off Disneyland property hotel with three day tickets with two rest days can you make dinner reservations at hotel character meals on rest days and at park dinners during park days in advance?

    Hi there, Nina. Welcome back to planDisney with another question for us.

    I love that you have a magical trip to the Happiest Place on Earth planned for mid-May! I see that your arrival date coincides with the beginning of Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, which starts on May 16th, 2025 and continuing through summer of 2026. I am so excited for what Disneyland Resort has planned!

    Although you’re staying off site, you are still able to enjoy a character dining experience for dinner at Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. Our family enjoys the fun and whimsical touches at Goofy’s Kitchen. If you’ll be driving to the Disneyland Hotel for dinner with Goofy, you’ll get 3 hours of complimentary parking with restaurant validation. Character dining during a non-park day is a great way to sneak in a magical dose of Disney! 

    During your fun-filled park days, there are many table service restaurants for you to choose from. My top choices are Blue Bayou Restaurant, Lamplight Lounge, and Café Orleans. While you may be able to get a table if you join the walk-up list on the day you wish to dine, I highly recommend you make your dining reservations in advance. Popular locations like Blue Bayou Restaurant and Lamplight Lounge book up quickly. 

    You can begin making dining reservations for Goofy’s Kitchen and the various table service locations in Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney 60 days in advance. You can do so on the Disneyland Mobile App or on Disneyland Resort website

    If you have more trip-planning questions, please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again! We’re more than happy to help.

    Have a pixie-dusted day,
    Kiki

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
