Hi there, Steffanie!
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question. I'd be happy to assist you with making reservations at the Disneyland Resort.
Currently, you are able to book many breakfast, lunch, and dinner reservations at
restaurants throughout the Disneyland Resort. This includes Table Service restaurants inside Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, the Disneyland Resort Hotels, the Downtown Disney District, as well as Character dining and dining packages. Quick Service or Counter Service restaurants do not require reservations.
It's possible if you didn't see reservations available for a certain dinner, it may have been a Character breakfast experience which is not available for dinner or that all reservations were full for the dates you checked. You can book dining reservations online, on the
Disneyland app, or by calling the Disneyland Dining line at (714) 781-3463 up to 60 days in advance. Some of my favorite dinner reservations have been at Carthay Circle Restaurant, Blue Bayou Restaurant, and Lamplight Lounge.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions. Have a magical day!
-Jennifer
