Usually available in our checks. Of the 69 dates our checks looked at since September 2, 2026, 97% had a table at Cafe Orleans at some point. A table came back 2 times where our previous check had found none. That makes it 9th hardest of the 24 Disneyland restaurants with a number.
This page is still filling in: our count of sold-out dates at Disneyland restaurants started on September 2, 2026, and we hold figures back until it has run 30 days.
These are our own records of what Disney’s dining site showed our checks, at least six hours old. They are not live availability. A free alert watches your date and emails you when a check finds a table.

Since September 2, 2026 at a glance
A date counts as having a table if any of our checks of it found one, even if the next check found none. We check a spread of dates, not every date, so read this as the pattern, not a promise about yours.
Where the tables were
The same share of dates with a table, split three ways. A split shows a figure only where we hold at least 30 checks, so a thin slice never reads as a percentage.
How to read this. “By how far ahead we looked” groups our checks by the number of days between the check and the reservation date, so a higher share close in means tables were showing up as the date approached, which is what an alert catches. “By party size” is the party we asked Disney for; a table for two can show where a table for four does not. Each slice counts its own dates, so the slices do not add up to the total above.
How to get a Cafe Orleans reservation
Disneyland restaurant reservations open up to 60 days ahead, and nobody can book earlier, hotel guests included. Disney gives no opening time; in our checks new dates usually appeared a few minutes after 6:00 AM Pacific. After the opening morning, tables come back when other guests cancel or change plans, often close to the date. That is why a table can appear a day or two before the date, and why watching a date pays.
A free alert does the watching. Tell us the restaurant, date and party size. We check around the clock, starting the morning 60 days before your date. Dates in the next 2 days are checked every few minutes, day and night. Later dates are checked less often, some of them less often still at night, and less often still when our checks are busy. When a check finds an opening, we email you right away. You book it yourself in your own Disney account. We never ask for your Disney login and never hold a reservation.
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. Around the clock we also record reads of the whole park, one date at a time, so a restaurant gets measured even when nobody has an alert on it; those reads ask for a party of 2. Each read records, for every restaurant, whether a table was bookable on that date. Our count of sold-out dates at Disneyland restaurants starts on September 2, 2026: before that a restaurant with no table was not written down, so older figures are not shown. The figures on this page count those records since September 2, 2026. They 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, and a look younger than six hours is left out.
