    When will Storyteller’s open for thanksgiving reservations?

    Gobble, gobble, Joe, and welcome to planDisney! I love that you're planning to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal at Storytellers Cafe. Between the cozy atmosphere, Character greetings, and tasty food, it's the perfect place to get into the spirit of the holiday.

    Unfortunately, we'll have to wait just a little bit longer to book a Thanksgiving Day reservation. At the time of writing this, Thanksgiving Day reservations for both Storytellers Cafe and Goofy's Kitchen haven't been released yet. However, I think we'll learn more very soon. The timing might not be the same this year, but to give you an idea, Thanksgiving Day reservations for Storytellers Cafe were released on October 9 in 2025.

    I recommend checking the restaurant webpage over the next week to see if any information is added about when Thanksgiving Day reservations will be released.

    We do know that Storytellers Cafe reservations for the holiday season (not including Thanksgiving) started to become available on October 1, 2026. Reservations go as far as 60 days out and will continue to be added over time. During the holiday season, Storytellers Cafe will host Daisy's Holiday Pajama Party for breakfast and brunch, and Mickey's Christmas Carol Feast for dinner.

    Joe, you'll be visiting during what I believe is the most magical time of the year at the Disneyland Resort. Everything feels like it has just a little bit more sparkle. Mickey, Minnie, and their pals will be dressed for the season, big Christmas trees with beautiful ornaments will greet you near the entrance of each park, Sleeping Beauty Castle will be topped with "snow," entertainment offerings will get a little more jolly, and so much more. A nice Character Dining meal is the perfect addition.

    I hope this information is helpful, Joe, even though we're still waiting on details. I'll cross my fingers that you'll get the Thanksgiving reservation you're dreaming of. Thanks for coming to us with your question, and please know that we'd love to help again if you think of anything else.

    Wishing you many delicious meals and lots of magic,
    Kriss
