Entertainment times/schedule??

[Ashieash85]

Hi all!

It’s getting close to my ADR window and I’d like to make some of my lunch/dinner reservations based around the parades but I can’t find the schedule/times for these.

Ill be in the parks July 2-4.

Do I even need to make them this far in advance?

I’m specificity interested in :
- Minnie’s character breakfast
- Carnation cafe for lunch and then again for dinner another day as I’m interested in a few different entrees
- WOC dessert party
- Cafe New Orleans
- Plaza Inn Pixar Parade dining package (this one is a maybe depending on if it’s REALLY needed for a good parade spot)

Thank you!!

Reservations (called Priority Seating at DLR) open up 60 days prior to your date. (Sometimes they open a day or two after the 60 day mark, so don't worry if they're not available exactly at 60 days.) You can reserve online or by phone.

The entertainment schedule usually fills in about 6 weeks ahead of time.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

I think I should clarify I was also wondering what times are the parades scheduled for?? I like to watch both of them and I’d hate to miss them because I have reservations during that time.

See above about the entertainment schedule. We won't know the exact times until about 6 weeks out. You can look at the parade times currently on the schedule for as far out as the calendar goes (through early June right now) to see the schedule and how consistent the times are. That should give you a basic idea of what to expect time wise.
Regarding the Plaza Inn package for the Pixar Play Parade, so far, it hasn't been necessary to book this to get a good spot to see this parade. If you want to book the package for fun, go for it! But it isn't an absolute necessity.

Thank you the information you provided was extremely helpful!

Glad to know the Pixer parade dinning package isn’t necessary. I wasn’t too excited about what was being offered. I love fried chicken but would prefer mashed potato & gravy as my side not Mac n cheese lol!!

You can look at the dining packages like the WOC Dessert Party and the Sonoma Terrace Dessert Party PTN to find out about when those events might be. I think the dessert times are about 30-45 minutes before the event. They start showing 60 days before, vs 6 weeks for the event calendar.

As others have said, getting dining reservations at DLR aren't that hard, so you don't necessarily have to do it right at the 60-day mark. The only one that I would make sooner rather than later is the WoC dessert party, just because that one is pretty limited.

Thank you all for you’re much appreciated information!

I had no idea I could check times/ schedule of entertainment on the Disney website. I was only checking the app which doesn’t have as much info as the site does. Silly me lol
