Hi Dodie! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
You are currently within your booking window for your upcoming visit. Dining Reservations can typically be made at most Disneyland Resort dining locations 60 days out. Popular spots can fill up quickly, so you'll want to start booking your hoped-for dining spots as soon as possible. All reservations are made
online. Simply follow the onscreen prompts with your party size, preferred dates, and other information to find the current availability. If something isn't available, keep checking. As Guests' plans change, so does availability. You'll also want to note the cancelation policies, as they're unique to each dining location. You'll be asked for your credit card information to hold your reservation, and in some cases, you'll be charged a fee for not showing up for your reservation. Prices and terms are subject to change.
If you're looking for an elevated dining experience, our favorites are Napa Rose at Disney's Grand California Hotel & Spa and Carthay Circle Restaurant on Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park. Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square in Disneyland Park can be a tricky reservation to nab because it's so wonderfully immersive, and Lamplight Lounge at Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park is also a beautiful spot with tasty choices. There is something for everyone among the wealth of choices!
You're going to love staying at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels. We prefer to stay at these conveniently located hotels with unparalleled access to the parks, delicious dining choices, and magical theming. Our favorite is Disneyland Hotel which is only a skip and a jump away from the Disneyland monorail. We recently wrapped up a stay at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and it was an absolutely glorious experience that involved lots of in-room dining. Where will you be staying? Be sure to take advantage of
Early Entry: You can accomplish a lot in the parks before standard opening. And being from the Midwest on Central Standard Time, we have no problem waking up early in California! Maybe that will be true for you too.
I hope this helps!
