How far in advance can I book Disneyland?

There are few things more exciting than planning a visit to the Disneyland Resort. Let's get started with your question. Theme park reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance. We're just shy of your visit dates opening up for reservations.



Great question! The booking window for Disneyland depends on what you’re trying to book. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Park Tickets & Theme Park Reservations

  • Tickets: You can purchase Disneyland Resort tickets up to 120 days (about 4 months) in advance on the official website.
  • Park Reservations: Once you have a ticket, you must make a theme park reservation for your visit date. The reservation calendar is also typically available up to 120 days in advance. This is the most critical timeline to watch for popular dates.

2. Hotels (Disneyland Resort Hotels)

  • You can book rooms at Disney’s Grand Californian, Disneyland Hotel, and Pixar Place Hotel up to 12-18 months in advance through Disneyland’s official website or by calling. For the best availability and rates, booking 6-12 months ahead is recommended, especially for peak seasons.

3. Dining Reservations

  • This is very important for popular character meals and sit-down restaurants.
  • Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance.
  • Crucial Tip: The booking window opens at 6:00 AM Pacific Time, and for the most sought-after dining experiences (like Blue Bayou or Carthay Circle), reservations can be fully booked within minutes on that 60th-day mark.

4. Special Events & Tours

  • For separately ticketed events like Oogie Boogie Bash (Halloween) or Disneyland After Dark events, tickets typically go on sale 2-4 months in
