Hiya, Diane!
Enjoying delicious food at the Disneyland Resort is consistently a major reason we keep going back time after time. It’s a fun part of the pre-planning as well!
At this time, dining reservations can be made either
online or within the
Disneyland mobile app. If you don’t happen to see reservations available at a particular restaurant you would like to experience, another good option is to use the Disneyland app to join the walk-up list for that location. To do so, find the restaurant page in the app (either by looking for it on the map or using the search feature) and tap the “Join Walk-Up List” button. Note that you will need to be somewhat close to the restaurant of choice before you will be eligible to join the walk-up list. I recommend attempting this as soon as you are able, which may not be until the restaurant is getting ready to open.
Tony’s Tip: When searching for available dining reservations, there are convenient time-of-day groupings such as breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. However, these groupings sometimes miss available openings. So I recommend selecting the specific hour you would like to dine. Be sure to search the few hours before and after your preferred time as well to look for any availability adjacent to that time as well.
Some of my favorite dining locations are
Carnation Cafe, where we never pass up the delicious Fried Pickles, and
GCH Craftsman Bar, where I love the Charcuterie Pizza. What are you looking forward to?
I hope you have a magical time, Diane! Please stop by planDisney again if you have any more questions.
