Tomorrow is 60 days out from my trip I want to try for Trader Sam’s reservations. What time should I start checking? 12:01am? 6am? Thanks!
Trader Sams doesn’t have advanced reservations. You can get on a waitlist in person.
But for other reservations I believe it’s 6am EST
I thought Disneyland opened technically 3AM Pacific but most restaurants are loaded later in the day?
Oh geez I didn’t even notice this was Disneyland 
maybe their Trader Sams dies have reservations? It’s been a few years since I’ve been there.
Yeah just ignore me! I’ll try to stay on my coast 
They do @ DLR just made one @ognome1 thanks for the reminder - trip is well past the 60 day mark and we got in for lunch

I live in CA and have never woken up at 2:50 am to get ADRs for DLR! I tend to start checking around 6 AM Pacific time and checking throughout the day, if I don’t see what I want. The worst is when it didn’t drop until 45 days out!

The most recent time I was trying for dining it seems like most were dropped at 6am PST but it wasn’t always right at 60 days. So just check everyday at 6am PST until they drop!
6am worked! Thanks all
Oye, I checked this thread a couple days ago, and forgot to add the Pacific Time into my brain. So I’ve been checking on and off for the last couple hours 
We’ll be getting on a plane right before 6 am EDT, and landing in LAX right after 11 am PDT. I’ve been thinking of not having a dining reservation for that day, and just play it by ear.
Trader Sams in DL. Do reservations go faster than Taylor Swift concert tickets? I’m checking for 9/3 (which is 60 days out) and I never saw anything.

They might not be loaded yet. DL doesn’t always abide by the 60 day thing.

There are none at all, nothing between now and September 3. Any day, any party size.

The ones that are already released might be all out and they are being slow to release whatever timeframe is next. If the dates fall around a transition between seasons/festivals/decor, etc. they can drag their feet. Sometimes all the way down to 30 days before. So just keep checking. Set up a dining alert at one of the places that do them to find out when they drop.

Yeah, this is for early September, so right when the Halloween stuff is coming into play.

Oh yeah, that’s definitely a culprit time that’s been slow to get reservations out. The other time is the transition between Halloween and Christmas.

They go very fast! In minutes. Tomorrow at 6am Sept. 4th should open up. I usually make sure my current info is updated the night before and log in at least 5 minutes before 6am. I also use time.gov to get the time exact. The last 2 trips DD and I didn’t have a reservation but did walk up and were let inside within 20 minutes so dont feel bad if you miss out on a reservation. They also have walk up reservations on the app but you need to be in tfe resort area by for it to work

That sounds like a good plan, thank you! This makes The Chef’s Table at Victoria & Albert’s seem like a breeze in comparison 
The 4th is when I have to go into DLH to pick up the race material, so I was hoping to pick up that stuff, then go to Trader Sam’s to get dinner before walking back across The Esplanade. It’s the only time I have to cross DTD in that direction.

I tried this morning and nothing. It never budged at all. Goofy’s Kitchen is the same. They have no openings after August 21 but every day before that, they have openings all day.
So I think it’s @lolabear_la 's theory that the DLH reservations haven’t been loaded yet for the fall-ish reservations

I am so sorry to get you up so early to get nothing! It must just be Trader Sam’s because Carthay opened for the 4th today. I’ll be up to snag one for mid September so it better be up soon!
