Anyone have parade times for July yet? Ill be there June 28 -July 2

I can't find any times for anything yet!
I never used to be a Disney planner, so I feel like DW has ruined me after the last "scheduled to the minute" trip!! It could be the magic bands, it could be that I'm taking a 3 year old...but I'm starting to feel some anxiety over not knowing times. I need to chill!

Im just worried some of my reservations will overlap other things.

Hmm, made all my Dining ressies for the trip, except for our Anniversary dinner reservations that I have to wait to make until tomorrow. Two months from today will find us sitting down, enjoying a lovely dinner celebrating with our daughter. YAY!

Did you make your reservations online or over the phone? When I try to do it online, the dates available don't go past 6/30. If I'm tryiing to make a 7/6 reservation, shouldn't I be able to do this tomorrow? If I wanted to make a 7/5 reservation, wouldn't I be able to make that today? Why doesn't go past 6/30? Should I try it from my desktop instead of my ipad (that shouldn't matter but, what gives?) First time at DL so I'm confused.

Let me be more specific with my previous post. I'm trying to get a Blue Bayou Fantasmic rez and they aren't showing any dates past 6/30. Do you think they aren't going to offer it in July?

That is a good question, I apologize, as I missed your original post. I had actually just finished most of our trip reservations and wanted to share . I made all our reservations online, but admittedly not for the Fantasmic dining. I made Plaza Character Breakfast and Carthay Circle reservations for 7/4 and BB reservations for lunch on 7/3. In the morning I will make our Dinner anniversary reservations, when 7/5 will be available. I would try calling and making reservations for it through Disney dining directly and see what they have to say, sometimes they can make reservations when the online is not working or showing reservations. They can be reached at 714-781-3463.

It's only May, and not even May 22nd when all the new anniversary shows are released. The July schedule is far away. This is much easier than WDW because it doesn't matter what time the parade is. You can make a reservation in DCA and hop over to DL after. So it isn't like you are stuck in one park because you had reservations there that day. That was the hardest part of WDW for me. How do I know where I want to be 6 months from now? I just picked a schedule and stuck with it.

We're at 59 days out and things are really coming together! Just purchased PhotoPass+ and that was the last thing I needed to buy for the trip. Today is my ADR day for our planned World of Color dinner at Ariel's Grotto. Just tried and July 7th is open but the system must be messed up because it says "no availability" on any day/time and ANY restaurant I've tried. Guess I'll try again later!

Sounds like I might plan on calling for my F! reservations when the time comes. It seems like the website has issues. Guess it has that in common with WDW! Maybe I'll try for the Monday during our trip. Also can't decide if we should go to the later showing or early. We normally like later showings of things to have less crowds, but the earlier showing would include the fireworks after.

I had to call to make my Cafe Orleans reservation a couple of days ago, as the online reservation system was down. It seems like it's been pretty glitchy...at least we can call, although I like getting email confirmation, and you don't when you call.

Oh my...just realized it's 50 days out for me!!

I'm new at this so forgive my ignorance but how/where do you purchase PhotoPass+?

Thanks in advance!

I called the Disneyland dining line and they told me the system is down and they are unable to book anything for me. I actually requested this day off work so I could make this reservation! (I work long hours and I'm a nurse so I never know if I'll get a break!) He told me to try back later tonight or tomorrow.... of course I work tomorrow! I see the system doesn't work out west any better than WDW! ha.

How frustrating!! I was able to make some reservations online but it was 6:00 a.m. EST (3:00 a.m. PST) both today and yesterday. Keep trying!

I started trying at 6am central time. Guess it was down by then! Just called and spoke to another CM who said the system would be down the rest of the night. What a bummer. Now to hope for a slow day at work tomorrow so I can have a few minutes to try again!
