How Disneyland restaurant reservations work

Disneyland's official dining FAQ says dining reservations for select restaurants can be made up to 60 days in advance, online or through the Disneyland app. Disney also recommends reservations for table-service restaurants at the Disneyland Resort.

A dining reservation does not guarantee theme park admission. In-park dining still requires valid admission and any required park reservation for the same park and date.

Which Disneyland restaurants need reservations?

The highest-priority reservation targets are usually table-service restaurants, character dining, signature dining, unique themed dining, and popular lounges. Quick-service restaurants and snack locations usually do not need an advance dining reservation.

Restaurant participation, hours, cancellation rules, and availability can change. Check Disney's current restaurant pages before your trip, then use MouseWait alerts for the restaurants and times that matter most to your group.

What to do when no reservations are available

  1. Keep checking because cancellations can create new openings.
  2. Use MouseWait to watch specific Disneyland restaurant reservations.
  3. Respond quickly when an alert appears because tables can disappear fast.
  4. Check Disney's app for same-day walk-up options at participating table-service restaurants.
  5. Keep a backup quick-service or mobile-order plan for the same area of the park.
