Hiya there, Christopher! Welcome to planDisney!
Ah, you've come seeking advice on my favorite topic, dining at the Disneyland Resort! I like to think of myself as a Disney foodie, a seeker of all snacks, a taster of all restaurants. While I haven't hit just everything yet, I do enjoy the rush of making my dining reservations before my stay.
As a general rule of thumb,
advance dining reservations open at 6:00 a.m. PST 60 days ahead of your dining date. To get prepared for your dining reservations, make sure you have the
Disneyland Mobile App downloaded. You can use this to make your reservations and it will also keep all of your plans in one magical place. I also like to make a list of the places I'd like to reserve ahead of time. That way I have a solid game plan heading into that 6:00 a.m. wake-up!
Christopher, the
Disney Festival of the Holidays will be underway during your visit. If you'd like to add a bit of a unique dining experience to your trip, you may consider bouncing around to the different
Festive Foods Marketplaces and tasting the merry and bright flavors! These will generally be smaller bites, allowing you to experience more than one cuisine or treat and compile a one-of-a-kind meal as you cruise around
Disney California Adventure Park!
May all your dining dreams come true,
Ashley
