Hello and welcome back to
planDisney, Pauline! I'm happy to help you with your question.
I'm so excited for your upcoming
Disneyland Resort vacation! My favorite trips include a stay at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel. The proximity to the Theme Parks, magical theming, and delicious dining is unmatched. Not to mention the
benefits available to Hotel Guests, such as
Early Entry to the parks!
While it is possible to make dining reservations for the length of your stay once your booking window opens at Walt Disney World Resort, this is not possible at the Disneyland Resort. You will need to
make your dining reservations daily online or via the
Disneyland App once the booking windows become available, which is usually at about 6:00 a.m. PST. I apologize if this is not the news you were expecting. Please remember that reservations are available up to 60 days in advance at most restaurants throughout the resort.
If you are considering making reservations at the restaurants in the
Downtown Disney District, keep in mind that each restaurant will vary. Some restaurants like
Din Tai Fung and
Céntrico, will accept reservations on a third-party platform. Other restaurants like
Ballast Point Brewing Co. and
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, don't accept reservations.
Lastly, don't forget to check out the quick-service restaurants throughout the resort. I love
Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill at the Disneyland Hotel,
GCH Grill at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa,
Flo's V8 Cafe (dine at sunset) at Disney California Adventure Park, and
Bengal Barbecue at Disneyland Park. There are so many amazing options!
Pauline, I know you will love your stay at the Disneyland Hotel. It is classic, nostalgic, and filled with so much magic! Please don't hesitate to visit us again if you have any other questions.
Your Pal,
Alejandra
