Do you need ADR for DLR?

I know for WDW you have to make advanced dinning reservations because of the dinning plan. Is DLR the same way. Are reservations a must or can you just walk up to sit down restaurant and get in?

Not so much a must here. At DLR they are called Priority Seating or PS. I just made one yesterday for Cafe Orleans next week. I have seen walk ups there too but since I know we want to go, may as well get the time we want.

For Blue Bayou and some character meals- call 60 days out. I would also do so for a WOC dinner.

Thanks! We might go to one sit down restaurants while at DLR. What do you guys recommend? What is your favorite restaurant. It will be DS18 birthday while on vacation. Any good places for birthdays?

I would suggest since you are doing one meal making a reservation. Depending on how busy the day is you could do it 60 days out if it's a holiday weekend, 30 if a busy weekend, a week out anyother time for the convinience of not having to possibly wait. But if it's not busy you can decide the day before or even the same day and call ahead and probably get the time you want.

Only two exceptions that you would want to do further out is Blue Bayou in DL, and Napa Rose 5* inside the Grand Californian Hotel.

For suggestion I go with the two above if you want a Disney experience, and the later if you want a superb experience.

If you want characters then Breakfast with Minnie and Friends at the Plaza Inn, which is in DL.

The Blue Bayou in the POTC ride is a great place for an 18th birthday, especially for boys. I would request a table by the water....it's worth the extra wait.
