Hi, I'm almost at my 60 day dining reservation time for my trip to dip for the half marathon in September. I have a couple of questions. When I registered for the race I booked Friday-Sunday at the Sequoia Hotel with the race package that included a 3 day park hopper ticket. I have since added Thursday night at the Disneyland Hotel. I understand that that comes with a park ticket for Thursday and Friday. So can I use one of my 3 day tickets for Monday morning or are they date specific?

Also, I will be calling to make dining reservations in a couple of days. Is it like Disney World where the 60 days starts with your first reservation day or do you need to call each day to make them for each day of your stay? I know I can probably find all of this out when I call, but I will be traveling and I want to have my list ready when I call without having to think too much.

TIA

Yes you can use your ticket for the monday, the can be used for a week from check in just for the amount of nights you booked for.
You can make eacht dining reservation 60 days before so you need to call each day or wait untill the last day and make all reservations in once.
I called yesterday and made reservations for 3 days and will friday for the other 3.

If we don't making dining reservations at all, would that be unwise?

Reservations at DLP are not as crucial as in WDW. You can get a table in most restaurants on the same day, but you might have to be flexible on dinner time.

Even for a busy race weekend? I can't seem to find a operator in Florida who will transfer me to DLP to make a reservation...I've been trying for days...

Hi, I might not have been aware on how big the racing event is and that a lot of groups will participate. So indeed it might be wiser to try to make an advance reservation if possible. It also depends on how big your party is and how fixed your dinner wishes are.

Just call (407) 939-5277 and say "Disneyland Paris" at the prompt and you will be transferred to a UK operator. Tell the operator you want "Dining Reservations for Paris" and you should be good to go! Just keep in mind the 9 hour time difference. Good luck!
