Disneyland dining reservation timing

When do Disneyland dining reservations open?

Disneyland dining reservations can be hard to catch. The key planning window is 60 days, but cancellations and later openings are why MouseWait dining alerts can still help after a restaurant looks sold out.

Direct answer: Disneyland says select dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. Exact availability can vary, and openings can appear later when guests cancel. Use MouseWait Disneyland dining alerts to watch for those later openings.

60-day window

Disney's public dining FAQ gives the planning window for select restaurant reservations.

Later openings

Cancellations and added availability can create openings after the first release.

Fast action

Alerts work best when you can respond quickly and finish booking through Disney.

The 60-day reservation window

Disney's official dining FAQ says dining reservations for select restaurants can be made up to 60 days in advance. Disney also says reservations are highly recommended and can be made online or through the Disneyland app.

That does not mean every restaurant, time, or party size will be available when you check. Popular dates, special events, small party windows, and high-demand restaurants can disappear quickly.

Do reservations open up later?

Yes. Disneyland dining reservations can open later when another guest cancels or when more availability is released. That is the gap MouseWait is designed to help with: watching for the restaurant, date, time, and party size you want while you continue planning your day.

How to improve your chances

  1. Check the 60-day window as early as you reasonably can.
  2. Set MouseWait alerts for hard-to-get Disneyland dining reservations.
  3. Keep backup restaurants or nearby quick-service options in mind.
  4. Act quickly when an alert appears because openings can disappear fast.
  5. Complete the reservation through Disney. MouseWait does not hold tables.
