Disneyland restaurant reservations open up to 60 days ahead. Disney gives no opening time. In our checks, new dates usually appeared a few minutes after 6:00 AM Pacific. See what time Disneyland dining opens.
Since September 2, 2026, our checks recorded 60 openings at 8 Disneyland restaurants. Our alerts caught 1 of them, and our whole-park reads found the other 59. The same opening can be counted more than once. Of the 60 openings, the largest share (24 of 60) came in the afternoon, noon to 6 PM PT. Of the openings that later closed, half were gone again within about 6 days. Hardest to book since September 2, 2026: Blue Bayou Restaurant.

Every restaurant we watch
Nobody can book a Disneyland table more than 60 days ahead, hotel guests included. Hotel guests do get preferred access to a limited number of reservations at select Disneyland Resort hotel restaurants, for the dates of their stay, subject to availability. A few places, such as Blue Bayou, are known to book up fast. After the opening morning, tables can still appear when other guests cancel or change plans.

How to read the table. “Dates with any table”: of the dates we checked since September 2, 2026, the share where at least one check found a bookable table at any time of day. When we read the whole park ourselves, we ask for a party of 2. “Came back”: how many times we saw a table appear where our previous check found none, plus the openings our users’ alerts caught. “Typically gone in”: of the openings that later closed, half were gone within this time. “Most often”: the time of day with the most openings, and, for the openings our alerts caught, the typical days before the date. A high count with a short “gone in” time means tables do open up but do not stay open long. That is what an alert is for. Restaurants with a number come first, starting with the lowest share. Restaurants without a number yet are listed after them. A dashed mark means we have not recorded enough checks yet to show a number. We check a spread of dates, not every date, so read this as the pattern, not a promise about yours.
Where these numbers come from
We check each dining alert on Disney’s booking site around the clock. Dates in the next 2 days are checked every few minutes. Dates further out are checked less often, and less often still when we are busy. Around the clock we also record reads of the whole park, one date at a time, so quiet restaurants still get measured. The date comes from a set list between 3 and 45 days out, or it is a date we had just checked for an alert. When no one has a dining alert at this park, these reads are less frequent. Each of these reads records, for every restaurant, whether a table was bookable on that date. On the morning a date first opens, 60 days ahead, we also read the whole park for that date again and again, until the date has loaded. Those reads time the opening. They record only the restaurants Disney lists for that date, so we leave them out of the “Dates with any table” column. An alert check adds a record when it finds a table. The figures above count those records since September 2, 2026. These counts are our own records of what Disney’s booking site showed. They are not figures from Disney and not live availability. A table that opened and was booked again between two of our checks is not counted.
Pick a restaurant above and set a free alert. We check around the clock. Dates in the next 2 days are checked every few minutes, and dates further out less often. For a date more than 60 days away, we start the morning Disney opens it. When a check finds a table, we email you right away. With a Trip Pass, we can text you too. You book it yourself in your own Disney account. We never ask for your Disney login and never hold a reservation.
Set a free alert3 free alerts at a time, up to 2 of them restaurants, one date each. A $24 Trip Pass is one payment: up to 12 alerts at a time, up to 7 days in a row on each dining alert, text alerts, and 90 days of checking, counted from your first check. Nothing renews.
