Hi Sarah,
Thanks for visiting planDisney with your dining question. I spent Mother’s Day at Disneyland last year with my daughter and was surprised to see ladies sporting their Mother’s Day pins that they received after attending the brunch at the
Plaza Inn. Attending this event is definitely high on my list of Disneyland to-dos.
Dining reservations for character dining and special events go quickly. It’s very possible that reservations for that day were booked up quickly. The site says that the event is “coming soon,” so there is a chance that reservations for this special event just haven’t opened up yet. I know this news is not crystal clear, but it leaves room for hope!
Keep checking back for reservations and updates.
Reservations may open up, or more guidance on securing a reservation may be released. The Plaza Inn does offer same-day reservations on a limited basis (subject to availability). You and your party could step out on some faith, trust, and pixie dust and attempt to
rope-drop the Plaza Inn (I never would have imagined recommending rope-dropping a restaurant). The Mother’s Day brunch buffet is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 9, and Sunday, May 10, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. If you and your party are visiting multiple days, you can try your luck both days. I’ll be thinking of you on Mother’s Day weekend, hoping you were able to snag a reservation.
I hope this was helpful, Sarah. If you have any other questions or need help planning, feel free to reach out to me or one of my fellow panelists. We’d be happy to share our thoughts.
Best of luck!
