When and how to book Disneyland® Paris restaurants & Character Dining

Your Disneyland® Paris holiday is all booked and you’re feeling the excitement, but what’s this about booking dining experiences before you arrive?

Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything you need to do to ensure you get the very best out of all the incredible restaurants and dining experiences.

Firstly, download the Disneyland® Paris App so that you can link your booking and start making reservations at restaurants!

For tickets only bookings:

Scan the QR codes on your tickets one by one and these will link to your Disney account.

For hotel & ticket packages:

Link your hotel booking with your booking reference, which is detailed in your confirmation email.

Restaurants

Generally, you can make reservations for Disneyland® Paris from around 60 days before your arrival. And as they are all extremely popular, we advise booking as soon as you’re able to in order to save disappointment!

Certain dining locations are available to book up to 12 months before arrival, but this is for Disney Hotel Guests only.

The best way to make sure you get a table is to keep an eye on that booking page on the app from as soon as your trip is confirmed. Some restaurants may release availability closer to travel, and some a lot earlier on so continue to check regularly for availability to make sure you get to eat at the restaurants you want to. And don’t worry, there’s loads of choice so you’re sure to find something to suit your taste!

How to make a booking

1. Open the Disneyland® Paris App and select ‘Book a table’

2. Check availability for your chosen restaurant, date, and number of people

3.If your slot is available, confirm your choice

4. In the ‘Special Requests’ box, you can add things like your meal plan, wheelchair access, or a high chair. You can even request to be seated next to another party if you’re together, and if you’re celebrating a birthday, you can request a cake for an additional charge

There are a number of walk-in dining options available at Disneyland® Paris as well – you can view these on the app.

Auberge de Cendrillon, Bistrot Chez Rémy, Cape Cod, Captain Jack’s – Restaurant des Pirates, Chuck Wagon Café, Crockett’s Tavern, Downtown Restaurant, Hunter’s Grill and Beaver Creek Tavern, La Cantina, La Grange at Billy Bob’s Country Western Saloon, Manhattan Restaurant, PYM Kitchen, Plaza Gardens Restaurant, Restaurant Agrabah Café, Silver Spur Steakhouse, The Steakhouse, Walt’s – an American restaurant, Yacht Club.

A great experience for Disneyland® Paris guests is Character Dining, and as you can imagine it is extremely popular! You’ll get to see lots of your favourite Disney Characters while enjoying some tasty cuisine, making for a really unique and memorable experience.

Amazing stay at Disney Hotel Cheyenne for my daughter’s 7th birthday. Staying at an on-site hotel was wonderful! Walking into the park and back each day…no having to pay for taxis or even queuing for shuttles! Hotel Cheyenne was a great Wild West theme – my daughter dressed as Jessie, met her in the reception then had a real horse ride!
