For those who want dining reservations, they open at 3:00 am PDT 60 days out. Not sure how they settled on that hour but that is the exact time. Blue Bayou is usually gone by about 4:00 am PDT, so set an alarm or 3 if you want that.

I’ve also heard some mention on FB comments that DCA (specifically Lamp Light Lounge) isn’t reserving 60 days out yet. So people were waking at 3AM 60 days out and never seeing DCA reservations but then they were popping up like 30 days out instead. For what that’s worth.

I’m curious if they’ve upped the availability/capacity yet because as of right now there is no dining availability 60 days from now and that seems messed up! Guess I’ll be waking at 3am soon. Gotta snag an Oga’s reservation at least.

3:00am PDT is 6:00am EST, same as WDW.
The website is probably one shared system for reservations.

I’m assuming the app and website show the same availability hopefully.
Makes sense. Stinks for Californians, though.
It looks like about 5 restaurants release at 60 days. We wanted Blue Bayou and Napa Rose—got the former, will hopefully grab the latter tomorrow. We will just wait to see when the others appear.

Does anyone know if places like Black Tap require reservations? I don’t see anything about it one way or the other under their info on the Disneyland website.

I believe Black Tap is considered a quick service eatery, so no reservations (which surprises me!).

Does anyone have the Trader Sam’s scoop? Will reservations be required? Virtual wait list? Thanks!
I don’t think they offer reservations.

I've heard some people say they had better luck on the website.

I think they’re still doing the +10 thing for on property stays? That always confused the hell out of me.
DL doesn’t do that. Your $800/night only gets you the most luxurious rooms in California. Sorta. But not really.
I actually think the GC is a wonderful hotel. I am ecstatic to have been able to use DVC points. The room rates are outrageous. It’s been a dream of mine to stay there. I remember passing through with my (late) mother talking about how gorgeous (but prohibitively expensive) it was. Can’t wait to take my family.

Will it be 8 minutes or 8 hours? I logged on right at 3 am PDT (live on East Coast so 6 am is no big deal) before the waiting room opened to grab Napa Rose for 8/13. Glad I beat the queue opening because I don’t need one of the newly-opening places. You can’t book any reservations anywhere now. Maybe I’ll try to grab Oga’s tomorrow for 8/14.
