Hi Stephanie and
bienvenue to planDisney.
My family are big fans of
Character Dining and it's something that we always do each and every time that we visit
Disneyland Paris. I mean, what's not to like about enjoying a yummy meal whilst also being able to meet and greet with some of your favourite Disney pals, without having to wait in line? It's a win-win, if you ask me!
You are quite right in saying that it is usually possible for all Guests to make dining reservations for Character lunches and dinners at
Plaza Gardens Restaurant, Auberge de Cendrillion and The Royal Banquet, via the Disneyland Paris Mobile App or, website, 2 months in advance.
In contrast, dining reservations for Character breakfasts at Plaza Gardens Restaurant and Auberge de Cendrillion, are only released for booking on the Disneyland Paris Mobile App or, website, 3 days in advance.
I have, myself, just had a look now and for some reason, at this moment in time, it is only possible to make reservations for the Character dinner at Plaza Gardens Restaurant for dates up to and including 31 December 2025.
There can be a slight delay in additional dates being released from time to time so my best advice would be to keep checking for availability every day, to see if any additional dates have been released.
Alternatively, if you have booked a
Hotel + Ticket package stay at a
Disney Hotel directly with Disneyland Paris, you are able to add a Character dinner via your MyDisney Account (subject to availability) once you have paid in full or, by calling the phone number provided in your confirmation letter.
If you booked a Hotel + Ticket package stay at a Disney Hotel via a third party travel agent (including The Walt Disney Travel Company) you will need to contact them directly, to ask them to add this onto your existing booking for you.
There is definitely still availability for the dates of your visit as when doing a dummy booking for a 4-night Hotel + Ticket package stay, arriving on 5th January 2026, it does give me the option of adding Dinner with Disney Characters at Plaza Gardens Restaurant. on the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th January 2026, at a variety of different times, each day.
Similarly, I am able to add Breakfast with Disney Characters at Plaza Gardens Restaurant, for both sittings, on the 6th, 7th and 8th January 2026.
I hope that this information has been of help, Stephanie and will keep my fingers crossed that you're able to make your desired dining reservation ASAP.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
