The different ways to book a restaurant at Disneyland Paris
Here are the 4 ways to book a restaurant at Disneyland Paris:
- Through the official mobile app: convenient for booking anytime directly from your phone.
- By phone: by calling the Disneyland Paris reservation service.
- Online: via the official Disneyland Paris website before your visit.
- On site: on the same day, subject to availability, directly at the restaurant, at City Hall/Studios Services, or at your Disney hotel concierge.
Book a restaurant through the mobile app
The easiest way to book a restaurant at Disneyland Paris is by using the official mobile app. Simply log in to your Disney account, go to the “Dining” or “Book a Table” section, and follow the steps. If you want more details, you can find the full tutorial at the bottom of this page.
Note: only buffet restaurants and table service restaurants can be booked in advance. Fast food and snack locations are open access without reservation.
In addition, the booking window varies depending on your situation:
- If you are not staying in a Disney hotel or only have park tickets, you can book up to 2 months in advance.
- Guests staying in a Disney hotel can book their restaurants up to 1 year in advance.
Book a restaurant by phone
If you prefer, you can also book your restaurant at Disneyland Paris by phone. Simply call the reservation center at +33 (0)1 60 30 40 50.
The service is available Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The same conditions apply to phone bookings as to those made through the mobile app.
Book a restaurant online
You can also book your restaurants directly on the official Disneyland Paris website. To do this, go to the “Dining” menu, then click on “Book your restaurant tables.” The online platform lets you choose your restaurant, date, and time in just a few clicks.
If you need help, a detailed tutorial is available at the bottom of the page to guide you step by step.
The booking conditions are the same as for the mobile app.
Book a restaurant on site
You can also book your restaurant directly on site. Here are the 3 ways to book a restaurant on site at Disneyland Paris:
- At City Hall or Studios Services: located at the entrance of the parks.
- At the entrance of your chosen restaurant: subject to availability and opening hours.
- At your Disney hotel concierge: if you are staying in a Disney hotel.
I do not recommend this option, as it depends on last-minute cancellations and does not really guarantee your spot.
My tips for booking a Disney restaurant
Here are some of my best tips for booking a restaurant at Disneyland Paris:
- Book early, especially for the most popular restaurants such as Plaza Gardens with characters, Bistrot Chez Rémy, or Walt’s.
- If no tables are available, keep checking the official app regularly: cancellations may free up slots.
- If you are staying in a Disney hotel, contact your hotel concierge, who may sometimes access last-minute availability.
- As a last resort, some restaurants offer a “walk-up list”, available on the same day, though it may require some waiting at the entrance.

The answer to all your questions about Disney restaurant booking
Can I cancel my reservation?
Yes, you can cancel your reservation. It’s very simple: open the official Disneyland Paris app, go to Account > My Table Reservations, and then cancel your booking.
Are there other ways to book a table?
If you are staying in a Disney hotel, you can book your table directly when making your reservation or by contacting the hotel concierge. Sometimes tables are reserved for guests staying in Disney hotels.
For those who wish to book a table while in the park, you can either go to City Hall or Studios Services, or directly to the restaurant of your choice.
How far in advance should I book a restaurant?
Disneyland Paris restaurants are often fully booked. I therefore recommend booking your table as early as possible.
You can book up to 1 year in advance if you are staying in a Disney hotel, and up to 2 months in advance otherwise.
Is it possible to eat at Disneyland Paris if no tables are available on the date I selected?
If no reservation is available in the app, you have two options:
- Eat at one of the park’s restaurants that do not require reservations, usually fast food and snack locations.
- You can also try going to one of the park’s restaurants and use the “Walk-up” line. Cast Members on site will be happy to let you know if a table has become available for you.
Can I request a high chair when making my reservation?
You can request a high chair for your child by adding it in the “Special Request” field when making your reservation.
Can I order a birthday cake when making my reservation?
You can request a birthday cake for your meal by adding it in the “Special Request” field when making your reservation (paid service).
If I have a Meal Plan, how can I apply it when making my reservation?
You can use your Meal Plan by indicating it in the “Special Request” field when making your reservation.
