Do Disneyland reservations open up randomly?

There's A Method To The Madness Disney doesn't add new park pass reservations at random! New park pass reservations are added every 15 minutes on the minute. For example, new reservations become available at 10:00, 10:15, 10:30, 10:45, 11:00, and so on. Check reservation availability at these times for better luck!
