March 13 CA closing early?

We are going to Disneyland for the first time 3/9-3/13. We wanted to make a dinner reservation at Lamplight Lounge on 3/13 but since they were released 60 days out only lunch reservations have shown. I did get a dinner reservation for 3/11 and a late lunch on 3/13 just in case but would anyone have any idea why there is no dinner reservations released for 3/13?

There may be a separately ticketed event during the affected dates. Around this time last year, Disneyland closed early to regular guests for a Disney Channel-themed event.

But Lamplight Lounge is in DCA, not DL.

There aren't Dinner reservations available for any of the DCA restaurants that night, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume an early park close. Having said that, anyone who answers this is going to be guessing until the Daily Calendar runs up to that date. (It could just be some weird staffing issue or scheduling problem, but I think I'd be surprised.)

I'd be more inclined to guess that it's a private event (somebody buying out the park) or a sponsored "party" rather than a Disney special ticket event. (By "sponsored party" - a couple of local radio stations have sometimes hosted events at DCA where you have to win tickets to get in. Private party wise - one of the local unions closed one of the parks out for their members one night a few years ago.)

Oh really? That helps answer my question a lot.

My reply was to the comment that DL had themed events around that time of year. If DL had a themed event, that shouldn't impact Lamplight Lounge in DCA.

I realized we never answered this - it turns out DCA is closing at 5pm on March 13th for a cast member event.
