What is best way to make 60 day dining reservations?

We have done WDW and I have that system down. Do you call at 6 AM for DL dining reservations the morning of your 60 day mark? Is it online only? We only have one we are going for, but I want to make sure we get it, thanks!

You do not need to sweat your reservations at DLR. Most places are no problem well after the "60 day mark".

Relax and breath, this is Disneyland, not WDW. I just made reservations this morning for lunch THIS Friday. No worries!

Good to know, thanks! I was not sure if we were wanting the Blue Bayou package for Fantasmic if that would be hard to get.

If you wait too long, then the specific times you want for a F! package might be hard to get. We ran into that problem when we went in February and had to settle for a later time but still got the same night.

We always book online.

As others have said, it's usually not really necessary to make DLR ADRs right on the 60-day mark. The new day rolls somewhere between midnight and 6:00 am, but it doesn't seem as consistent as WDW.

One thing to note, the system has been having issues of late. DLR hasn't been consistently loading reservation times, especially for park opening meal times and dining packages, on the 60-day mark. So, if you do check for the BB F! dining package right on your 60-day mark and it's now showing any available times, it most likely means they haven't been loaded into the system yet. You'll have to keep checking; it could be loaded that day, in a few days, or not for a few weeks.

Good to know. I had this same question. We've done a couple character meals and had no problem getting a reservation just a day or two in advance. This time I want the BB Fantasmic package so I better book a little earlier.
