Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

I have an upcoming trip this weekend (11/06-11/09). Does anyone know if any of the Christmas food options are ever available early? I know the food guide says 11/12, but I was just curious if that was a hard start or not.

So are there quick service restaurants right now that are mobile order only or am I incorrectly gathering that from posts I've seen lately? I've bought our tickets/made reservations, so dining is next on my list to worry about, lol.

In the past the holiday booths would sometimes do soft openings a few days early, but they were sporadic. I've never seen Disney sell the regular holiday treats and foods before the official start of the holidays personally.

Mint Julep Bar is mobile order only. So is the Tiki Juice Bar for Dole Whip, but you can go around the corner to the Tropical Hideaway if you want to stand in line. Some places are only walk up (no mobile order) like Rancho del Zocalo. You can check in the app at each location to see if it's mobile order, walk up or both.

Actually, I take that back... the app will only tell you if mobile order is available or not, but won't tell you if it's mobile order only (which is annoying). Locations that are mobile order only do have a sign out front and usually a CM letting people know.

Thank you, this is all very good to know! I agree that the app *should* tell you if a place is mobile order only.

The Disneyland Christmas Foodie Guide came out today! I bet someone else posted about it already, but since I sorta referenced it above, below is a link for anyone who is curious or anxiously awaiting all these goodies:

Festival of the Holidays menu came out yesterday. Is it bad that I want to add an extra park day just to go to CA and eat all of the food

Has anyone booked a Plaza Inn breakfast reservation for November 30-December 5? I'm asking because there are no parade dining packages for that week and am wondering if the restaurant may be closed.

I have a breakfast reservation for the 5th. Maybe they aren't doing the parade packages because of the candlelight processional and Merriest Nites?

Maybe, but the 1st, 2nd and and 3rd shouldn't be affected by that. But I'm glad to hear you have a reservation for the 5th.

We have a breakfast reservation for Plaza Inn on the 2nd. I am wondering if the area for the dining package is at the Train Station and they will have the stage set up for Candlelight.

Keep trying!

We are here for three short days. I’ve had some kind of reservations booked for almost two months, but they weren’t exactly what we wanted. I’ve been persistent, and made many changes. Just now I secured the last of exactly what we wanted for tomorrow. Over the three days we FINALLY have the restaurants we want, at the times we want them, and it took a good amount of persistent work…..but if you keep at it you’ll get there, too!!

Wondering the same. was hoping for December 1st but it wasn’t available for whatever reason. I snagged the 29th just to make sure we had them. Guess we’re eating at plaza in twice in the same day since I have character breakfast reservations for that morning.

FYI - Storyteller brunch and dinner on Christmas Day has dropped sometime in the last day or so. There are still lots of times available. Good luck!

 

[LennyMachine]

Could anyone here use one of the following ADRs?

1) Storytellers Mickey character breakfast on 12/24 at 7:45 a.m.

2) A Lamplight Lounge brunch on 12/25 at 11:50 a.m.

 

[Angel141925]

Dropping a reservation for lamplight lounge for November 30 at 11:35 am for a party of 3. Message me if you would like to try and coordinate times. I’m going to cross post in the November trip thread as well.

Thanks for this, got a Christmas dinner reservation today.

Never have eaten here before, but the Christmas dinner menu looks great!

Did Trader Sam's revert back to the virtual system after January 1st or have they simply not loaded the dates and times into the system? I know that the reservations were a "trial". I just want to try to confirm it isn't a glitch on my end and we missed the window.

We'd like to plan a visit with a reservation in mid-January (window for booking open), but TS is showing "no times available" Jan 2 and beyond. We were able to secure everything else we wanted for December 19-22 and Jan 14-17! Now we wait for candy cane news and February 18-21 to open.

Looks like they just loaded the following week (through 1/8/22), but a quick check of availability shows none.
Step 1 add dates/meal periods to calendar, step 2 add times to the dates for booking...I'm still at step 1 for the 19th-22nd, but at least there are meal periods listed for 1/2 - 1/8.

Aaargh. I got excited to nab a last minute Lamplight Lounge brunch reservation for Saturday, and then realized I couldn't use it as I have Disney as our starting park. I've eaten there many times, but never for brunch! Grrr. With how busy it's been, even if a CA opening appears (I think it will), I'm hesitant to risk trying to switch and not getting a reservation for either park.

I don't mind park reservations, but really wish they'd either drop the 1 p.m. park hopping restriction or allow us to easily switch our reservations (as the do with dining), rather than requiring us to first cancel and then rebook! Or just let me into CA so I can eat my crab cake
