As Easy As Pie : Making Disneyland Dining Reservations Online

If you haven't visited Disneyland recently you might not know about the wonderful changes that have been made there involving Disney Dining. Instead of using an email system or calling, guests can now make online dining reservations. The website is very easy to use and I love that you can see all the current menus (with prices) for all the eating establishments at the resort, including in Downtown Disney and at resort hotels and bars. In addition to making reservations, you can keep track of your existing reservations through the website and search for future dining options using a map or by selecting from a list which includes price range and cuisine filters. You can even add special request notes to your online reservations to notify cast members of special occasions and dietary needs.

The first time I used the new website option myself was last month for our recent visit to the Plaza Inn for the Minnie & Friends - Breakfast in the Park breakfast buffet. The food was warm and tasty and there was a good selection of buffet breakfast items to choose from. There was bacon, eggs, cereral, ham, omlettes, fruit, waffles, biscuits and gravy, sausages and a wide variety of pastries. While we were there eating, we were visited by several characters - Captain Hook, Chip, Dale, Max, Rafiki, Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger and, of course the girl we came to see, Minnie Mouse. I recommend checking out the Minnie & Friends - Breakfast in the Park breakfast buffet both for the food and for the amount of time you will receive to bond with Minnie Mouse and some of your favorite Disney characters. 

To make online dining reservations for your own adventures in Disneyland, you must provide them with your credit card information. Your credit card will only be charged if you do not arrive to dine as scheduled and you did not cancel during the allotted cancellation period. Dining reservations for the Disneyland Resort can be made at https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining or by calling (714) 781-DINE. 

Bon Appétit.
