Welcome to planDisney, Tiffany!
I know it can be a little frustrating when you can’t seem to make
dining reservations! I’ve been in your shoes more times than I can count, but I’m going to give you a few things to try that may help you troubleshoot! Whatever you do, don’t lose hope! Let’s see what we can do to make your dreams come true!
Here are my dining reservation tips:
-Keep trying to make reservations on the Disneyland website and the
Disneyland Mobile App.
(Sometimes more reservations open up the closer you get to your vacation!)
-Try changing the time on your dining reservation.
(I find that more obscure times - like 2:00pm-4:00pm or much later in the day - tend to have more availability.)
-Try changing the number of people in your party for your dining reservation.
(Sometimes making 2 dining reservations - for large parties - is a better way to secure the reservations you would like!)
-Try a
different restaurant altogether.
(Some restaurants are simply more difficult to get into, but all of the dining experiences are quite lovely at the Disneyland Resort! So maybe try something new!)
-Walk up and ask.
(If you’re completely unable to make dining reservations, walk up to the Cast Member at the front of the restaurant at which you would like to dine on the day you arrive, and ask if they have a walk-up waitlist available for you to join!)
I hope this helps, Tiffany, and I’m sending my happy, pixie-dusted thoughts to you! If you have additional questions, we’d love to hear from you again at
planDisney!
