Hi Isabella!
Welcome to planDisney!
This is a great question. Dining at Disney Parks has become so popular and so much of its own 'thing' that I like to say that Disneyland could probably be called an Eat Park too! Pro Tip: Be sure to keep up with the
Disney Parks Blog as they often list
Foodie Guides and
highlight new delicious dishes. You can even
follow them across all of your social media channels so you'll be sure to never miss a story!
It is true that
Disneyland Dining Reservations open for booking 60 days in advance; however, not every dining location opens for booking that far out. There isn't exactly a list of which locations open 60 days and which locations open at 45 or even 30 days out, as it can also sometimes depend on the season or each location's staffing availability, etc. While
Lamplight Lounge is one of the most popular dining locations at Disneyland Resort, I, like you, doubt that it's truly booked up for the whole day each day of your visit. The best advice I can give is to keep checking back and keep trying. When looking for a reservation, sEARch both by mealtime (lunch, dinner, etc) but also pick a specific time (11:20 A.M., 5:50 P.M.) as that sometimes yields more results.
If you keep sEARching and checking back and you still can't find anything, don't give up! You might still be able to enjoy this location by checking in with the Host stand to see if there's any same-day walk-up availability. Better yet, use the new
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability in the
Disneyland Mobile App as soon as you get near the Pixar Pier area.
One last thought that I have is how many are in your party? In the early days after the reopening,
Advance Dining Reservations were limited to six per table; if you have more than six in your crew, try breaking your group down to two or three smaller reservations and see if that yields any results. (Pro Tip: You'll only be able to look and book one table per My Disneyland Account, so have someone else in your party book table number two. Aim to get the reserved seating times as near each other as possible, and then at check-in ask if your two tables can be sat together.)
I hope that this helped to clEAR your question up, Isabella! Be sure to follow the
