DLP Dining Reservations?

[meryll83]

Hi All,

I've found the number to call for dining ressies on DLRPMagic, but can anyone tell me the opening hours?

Also, are there any restaurants you can't make advance ressies for?

Thanks in advance!

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance, and you can't make reservations for counter service resturants or resturants operated by third parties (Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe, King Ludwig's Castle etc.)

Opening hours on the UK 08448 003 244 number are:

9:15 am - 8:45 pm Monday - Friday
9:00 am - 6.45 pm Saturday
10:15 am - 5:45 pm Sunday

You can't make reservations got Annette's diner either

 

[meryll83]

Fantastic, thank you.

Any places you can't make ressies in advance can you do so in person i.e. ask at lunch for a dinner slot or the following day for example?

 

[Jonjo]

You can contact the non-Disney resturants to make bookings directly by phone or in person at the resort. You can't make reservations for the counter service resturants as they are just walk ups. As mentioned by tennisfan and you can not make reservations for Annette's in the Disney Village or at Café des Cascadeurs in WDS. All other table service and buffet resturants you can make a reservation for which is kept for 15 mins if your running late.

To be honest depending on when your going you can just make reservations when you arrive at City Hall or at your hotel. If you want to make reservations while at the resort you can visit the resturant, City Hall or at your hotel.

Which resturants are you keen on making a reservation for? And what time of year are you going as not all of them may be open?

 

[meryll83]

Thanks again.

Still deciding between our group where we'd like to eat, is there an easy reference guide anywhere as to which restaurants are only open seasonally?

Annette's is one I did have on my list, so there is it just turn up when you're ready to eat and wait your turn?

No seasonal guides that I'm aware off. DLP operate on a 60 day system where they compair the number of visitors booked in at the resort to the number of resturants they need open.

For Annette's it's just a matter of turning up and waiting for a table. It all should be fully re-open again soon after the fire.

I would sugest going there for lunch as the Village is less busy during the day time as everyone is in the parks. So geting a table will be quicker.

There was a fire?

We're there late March, just before Easter, so we're possibly just before a peak when I would expect everything should be open. We shall see!

Yes on the gound floor, just a small one the resturant has been open as usual using the top floor area.
Everything should be open, you might need to double check on the Blue Laggon due to the refurbishment of PoTC which is due to end on the 15th March.

 

[meryll83]

Thanks again for the advice, the Blue Lagoon is another maybe!

Before I let you escape, do you have any particular favourites you'd recommend?

 

[Jonjo]

We are also visiting in March for 6 nights and these are the resturants we have booked:

Manhattan Restaurant, Hotel New York
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show (booked for the 9pm show on-line for 30 Euros)
Walt's An American Restaurant - Dreams! Meal
(booked this for 4.30pm to see the parade go past and to get a good place for Dreams! and the Welsh Festival fireworks)
Character Sunday Brunch, Inventions, Disneyland Hotel
California Grill, Disneyland Hotel
Auberge de Cendrillon, Character Princess Meal

Would have booked the Blue Lagoon but it is closed when we are there.

We are also going to try these too if they are open for other meals and snacks:

Agrabah Café
Toad Hall, Fantasyland (Been told their Fish & Chips are nice)
Café des Cascadeurs (Always closed when I visit)
The Lucky Nugget Saloon
Restaurant Hakuna Matata
La Grange, Billy Bob's Country Western Saloon
Restaurant des Stars
Annette's Diner

Hope that helps.

Sounds good - where do I find info about things such as the Dreams! Meal as I haven't heard of this before? Is it like the equivalent of the Fantasmic dinner packages in WDW?

Have a look through ^^ - it explains it plus gives you details of the menus etc

 

[Jonjo]

The Dreams! meals are now only available on weekends in the off season.

The Dreams! meals are now only available on weekends in the off season.

and often also at lunchtime during French school holidays

 

[meryll83]

Is Annette's still walk up only or do they now take reservations?
(Just resurrecting an old post!)

Pretty sure it's walk up only
