Hi there, Deborah! Welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you've stumbled upon one of my favorite topics, Disney dining! There are so many great places to have a meal at the Disneyland Resort. I find that sprinkling in some table-service dining reservations into a vacation allows for some time to wind down, decompress, discuss some of the highlights of your trip and make more memories with your travel party!
As a general rule,
advance dining reservations open at 6 a.m. 60 days before your dining date. While there are some exceptions to this from time to time, it is usually a safe bet to mark your calendars and set your alarms! If you have a specific dining location in mind, you can use the search feature on the
Disneyland Mobile App to find that restaurant, then select "Reserve Dining." This will help filter out all of the other restaurants and allow you to focus only on available times for this establishment. If you would like to choose from all of the available restaurants and times, tap the plus sign on the bottom menu bar and choose "Check Dining Availability." Once you input your date and time selections, you'll be able to choose from all of the magical options available during your visit!
Another feature of the Disneyland Mobile App that may be useful for you is
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering. This feature allows you to preorder your meals from select Quick Service locations, saving you time waiting in line. If you're in line for one of your favorite attractions and start to feel that "rumbly in your tumbly," you can place your order while in the queue. Once you arrive at the restaurant, press "I'm Here, Prepare My Order" and find a comfy place to sit while waiting for your food to be cooked!
I hope this helps make your dining dreams come true, Deborah!
Happy planning,
Ashley
