Question 1

Are Lamplight Lounge and Lamplight Lounge - Boardwalk Dining the same reservation?

Accepted Answer

No. Disney lists Lamplight Lounge - Boardwalk Dining as its own location with its own page, and that page describes Lamplight Lounge as a sister location: "Downstairs from Lamplight Lounge – Boardwalk Dining, you can enjoy entrees, appetizers and drinks at this sister location that accepts reservations." Mickey Alerts watches the two as separate restaurants — set one alert for each you want.

Question 2

How far ahead can you book Lamplight Lounge?

Accepted Answer

Up to 60 days. Disney's page says reservations can be made on the page or with the Disneyland app up to 60 days prior to your visit; same-day reservations are limited and subject to availability. If your date is further out, you can create the alert now — it arms itself automatically when the booking window opens.

Is Lamplight Lounge - Boardwalk Dining indoors or outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Outdoors. Disney's Boardwalk Dining page says the experience offers outdoor seating only, and seating preference is not guaranteed.

Accepted Answer

Yes. Disney's Boardwalk Dining page says all members of your party must be present before seating, and hosts bring the entire party to the table at one time.

Question 5

Does a Lamplight Lounge reservation include park admission?
