    When are reservations for holiday Christmas Mickey’s Christmas Carol dinner opening up…. And do you need to be staying at the hotel to make a reservation?

    Hiya, Maureen!

    Oh boy! Mickey's Christmas Carol is one of my favorite adaptations of Charles Dickens' classic tale of charity and redemption. When I heard about Mickey's Christmas Carol Feast being offered at Storytellers Cafe, I leapt for joy nearly as high as Uncle Scrooge himself at the end of the movie.

    Advanced reservations for dining at the Disneyland Resort, including character dining experiences, can be booked as many as 60 days ahead of time. Although a limited number of dining reservations for select hotel restaurants may be set aside as preferred reservation access for hotel Guests, any Guest, whether or not they are staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, may book available reservations for restaurants throughout the Disneyland Resort, including hotel restaurants.

    Tony's Tip: Occasionally, I've found that reservations may not be loaded into the system right at the 60-day mark. This is something that can happen more often when a venue is transitioning between seasons. If you don't happen to find what you are looking for at exactly the 60-day mark, it may be worth returning later in the day or even over the next few days to find available reservations. That said, the upcoming holiday offerings are sure to be very popular. So I recommend checking early and frequently for offerings.

    I hope you have a magical time visiting the Disneyland Resort during the Holidays, Maureen. Be sure to stop by planDisney again if you have any more questions or requests for recommendations. It's our pleasure to help out fellow Guests like you.

    Have a great vacation, Maureen!
