Time to Call?

[juliebug1997]

What time do the phones open at DL to make reservations for the restaurants?

Also, do I have to call every morning or can I make all my reservations at once?

Thank you!

You'd have to call each morning, as it is 60 days out, not 60 days from the first day of your trip.

That said, Disneyland is NOT AT ALL like WDW in regards to reservations, so if you want to save yourself the effort, just wait until 60 days out from the last day of your trip and make them all at once. You can often make reservations all the way up to the day before or day of, so if you call a few days short of 60, don't worry, you'll still get everything you want!

Great idea.

What time can I call? Thanks!

That I don't know. I *want* to say 7:00 AM PST, but I am not certain, it might be 8:00 AM PST instead.

You don't even have to call. I used the e-mail dining reservation system and it was perfect. I sent one message to dine@disneyland.com with a list of the dates, times, number of guests, and the name of the restaurant that I wanted and got a message back within an hour with all of my reservations and confirmation numbers.

Did you send all your dates and times on the first day?

No. It may have been a couple of weeks later. It's hard to get used to, but it's not as crazy as planning a WDW vacation. I think I waited about two weeks after my window opened and still got everything I wanted, except my reservation for Blue Bayou was about 10 minutes later than the time I gave them.

I do believe it is 2 months out, not 60 days. For those sitting by their phones...

If you are in doubt as to how reservations are almost completely unnecessary at DLR, call up right now and try getting a reservation at Blue Bayou for this Friday or Saturday night. Bear in mind that the BB is one of the busiest restaurants in either park on what should be a fairly busy day for the parks in general so if there is ever a chance of missing a reservation, this should be the one.

Hopefully that exercise will help you breathe a sigh of relief as you prepare your trip.

I did this, this time!! It worked GREAT!!! I booked mine 45 days out.

Thank you so much for the information! I will probably just wait and send an email later this week.
