Disneyland dining reservation calculator: when can I book?
Each Disneyland dining date opens for booking 60 days before that date. Nobody can book a table further ahead, hotel guests included. Disney gives no opening time. In our checks new dates usually appeared a few minutes after 6:00 AM Pacific. This morning’s new date was Monday, November 30, 2026. Hotel rooms are sold much further out: in our check on Thursday, October 1, 2026, Disney was selling them for arrivals through about Friday, December 31, 2027.
Enter a dining or event date below to see the day it opens, the usual opening time in your own time zone, and a calendar reminder if it is not open yet. For hotels, we show whether Disney is taking bookings for your check-in yet. See what time Disneyland dining opens and what our checks record for each restaurant.

The rules, plainly
| What | When it opens | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Dining | 60 days before each date. Nobody can book further ahead, hotel guests included. Disney gives no time. In our checks new dates usually appeared a few minutes after 6:00 AM Pacific. | If a restaurant shows nothing just after 6:00 AM, check again at 6:15. On the 6 mornings we logged (August 28 to September 2, 2026), our checks saw a table at nearly every restaurant by then. If yours still shows nothing, it may have no time for your party size, so set an alert for cancellations. Blue Bayou is known as one of the hardest Disneyland tables. |
| Staying at a Disneyland hotel | The same 60-day window as everyone else. There is no longer window for hotel guests. | Hotel guests get preferred access to a limited number of reservations at select Disneyland Resort hotel restaurants, for the dates of their stay. It is first come, first served, so a table is not certain. |
| Events and experiences | Dessert parties, Fantasmic! and World of Color dining packages, tours, Savi’s Workshop and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique open up to 60 days before each date. When we last checked, Disney’s booking system offered dates through Monday, November 30, 2026. | A show package can only be booked for a night the show is scheduled, so a date can appear later than day 60. Ticketed seasonal parties, such as Oogie Boogie Bash, go on sale on dates Disney announces. See the Disneyland event tracker. |
| Disneyland hotel rooms | In our check on Thursday, October 1, 2026, Disney was selling rooms for arrivals through about Friday, December 31, 2027. That is more than a year ahead. We check every morning. Disneyland opened all of 2027 on August 25, 2026. | Sold-out rooms come back when guests cancel or change plans. We do not have enough data yet to say when. See sold-out rooms by hotel and how far ahead you can book. |
The 60-day rule comes from Disney’s FAQ. Disney does not publish an opening time for Disneyland, so the 6 AM time is from our own checks. The hotel dates are our own daily check, unofficial.
Set the alert before the window opens
For restaurants and events, you can set an alert for any date up to 180 days away. It shows as Scheduled until Disney opens the date, 60 days before, and we start checking that morning. Hotel alerts start checking right away.
We check around the clock. Dates in the next 2 days are checked every few minutes, day and night. Dates further out are checked less often, and some of them less often still at night. When we see an opening, we email you. With a Trip Pass, we can text you too. You book it in your own Disney account. We never ask for your Disney login and we never hold or book anything. An alert is not a reservation.
3 free alerts at a time, up to 2 of them restaurants. Each restaurant or event alert covers one date, and a hotel alert covers one stay. A $24 one-time Trip Pass gives you up to 12 alerts at a time, up to 7 days in a row on each dining or event alert, and 90 days of checking. Nothing renews.
