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

[707MickeyGirl]

Does anyone have info on Storyteller's for Thanksgiving? Right now there is no availability, but the last time I checked it was showing as "closed." I'd love to go but I might have missed the very brief window when it was available. Thanks!

I don't think you've missed the window. I'm using *both* of the notification services and have not gotten a hit for 11/25. I think those reservations might be held until 30 days out. I'm just guessing, of course, but I feel pretty comfortable that they haven't been made available yet.

Anyone heard when Napa Rose will reslease reservation slots for Thanksgiving? That's the one day we're trying to figure out dinner plans.
Or I guess I have to do the 0300 PDT daily check-in?

Does BB have a walk-up list or is it reservation only right now?

I'd be interested to know this as well.

Many people have reported being able to walk up to BB and get in but it’s very hit or miss.

 

[CharleneTheDM]

For walk-up list, do you scan a QR code? I was playing around with the app and saw there was a button that said "Join Walk-Up List", is there a proximity requirement to join?

Also, Ralph Brennan just released their reservations for 12/4 and 12/5! I thought they were gone, so I'm trying to stay hopeful that other restaurants I want might still have openings or cancellations for 12/6-8. Fingers crossed!

So to clarify, there is no Disney dining phone number currently?
I hadn't looked yet, but my thought was to call, while in the park, on a given day, and check for basically any availability in either park at any restaurant... my thinking was last minute cancellations that they'd be able to see quicker than I could find on the app..

Guess I'll let go of that idea....

so, I guess I am seeing that getting up at 3 am PST is a must? Is that when they release them? Has Disney been good about doing them 60 days out? Or might it be less?

also, has anyone had success with mouse dining notifications?

Thanks! Planning first trip in two years. Used to know all the tricks but now feel like a newbie to all of this.

Yes getting up at 3am PST is a must

No Disneyland is not good at loading the reservations at 60 days.

Basically you start checking for reservations at 3am PST on day 60 and then keep checking every day after at 3am PST until you get the dining reservation you want.

Nope. No reservations via the "Dine Line". At least that's what the VM says at 714-781-DINE (3463)

Ugh. Mouse dining alerted me last night with one of our requests for December 2, and I immediately got on to grab it and it was already gone. This just shouldn't be THIS hard...

 

[smeg3030]

Someone probably has already shared this technique but go the actual restaurant page you want to book. (ie. https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/river-belle-terrace)
Use web not mobile. Click on Check Availability. Then search times for the times you want to go. You might actually get times there.

What's interesting is, I originally tried to book on my phone. Got the time I wanted but it kept erroring when I wanted to reserve the time. When I got onto the webpage itself, I found out the error was because it couldn't use my credit card on file. (Oddly it's a Disney credit card)

So I'm still a few days out from being able to book reservations for our Christmas trip. But I happened to wake up just before 3 PST this morning and I was looking at the app. I appreciate all the times here!

In the meantime, I booked Christmas dinner at Ballast Point DTD (Separate from Disney reservations) Just in case I can't get an in-park reservation.

 

[Disney0010]

Make sure that you keep your reservation info. We arrived at Splitsville last night and they had no record of our reservation. I pulled up the reservation on my phone to show her. Not sure what would have happened if I didn’t have it. They did not seem busy. Empty tables all around us inside but the hostess wasn’t the most friendly person.

I do not have any information, but I was just looking at the Napa Rose link from the the Disneyland ap and it said, "Thanksgiving Day reservations coming soon. " (So, assuming they keep their website info updated, it looks like Thanksgiving has not yet been released. )

It looks like Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen has been released at least through 16 Dec (that's as far as I looked).

I also saw some times for Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Napa Rose through 16 Dec.

Thanks for this! I'd been looking for a JK reservation during our trip, Dec 13-16, and hadn't seen anything. After reading your post I checked and yes! Got one! Thank you for that.

I didn't even think to look up Ballast Point! Thanks for that. I was able to get an outdoor spot for 3 of us Nov 15.

Just that I would share my experience. I set the alarm for 3 — unfortunately it was 3 pm. I got up at 6:20 am and was able to secure a reservation for 5 people at Lamplighter on 12/20 but really only other reservations were downtown Disney restaurant reservations. I will be trying again tonight for 12/21 but will take better care setting my alarm.

 

[twodogs]

BB was gone in about one minute this morning and Oga’s in two minutes. I was able to get mine but I was on there right at 5am CST. Good luck tomorrow!!!
