Where fans have fun together.Where to eat at Disneyland Resort, organized around your route
Decide where you'll be at mealtime, then eat the best thing nearby. Use mobile ordering where available, and try lunch around 11 or 2 to avoid the usual midday rush.
Three ways to make meals easier
- Mobile order early. Place the order in the app while you're in a ride queue, choosing a pickup window 30 to 45 minutes out. Check available windows early; popular pickup times can fill up.
- Eat off-peak. An earlier or later meal can help avoid the lunch rush; compare current ride waits before deciding.
- Book priority tables ahead. Check Disney’s reservation calendar for Blue Bayou and Cafe Orleans as your date approaches; availability and release timing can vary.
Disneyland Park, by where you'll be
- Main Street and the hub: Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe for breakfast or a sandwich and soup. Plaza Inn for the fried chicken, a park classic.
- Adventureland: Bengal Barbecue skewers. A handy option for a smaller meal or snack.
- New Orleans Square: Tiana's Palace for counter service, Cafe Orleans if you have a reservation.
- Frontierland: Rancho del Zocalo. A practical meal stop with shaded seating; check the menu and current crowd.
- Bayou Country: Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree. The riverside tables are some of the most peaceful in the park.
- Fantasyland: Red Rose Taverne. It's the practical pick with kids.
- Galaxy's Edge: Docking Bay 7. It's the most interesting counter-service menu in the park. Check the menu first if your group has particular preferences.
- Tomorrowland: Alien Pizza Planet or Galactic Grill. Reliable, not exciting.
California Adventure, by where you'll be
- Cars Land: Flo's V8 Cafe. Find the back patio for a view of the race cars going by.
- San Fransokyo Square: Lucky Fortune Cookery, the best break from burgers and fries.
- Avengers Campus: Pym Test Kitchen. The food is good and the oversized props are fun.
- Paradise Gardens: Corn Dog Castle. It does one thing and does it well.
- Pixar Pier: Lamplight Lounge if you can get a table. Check the app or ask at the restaurant about walk-up availability; a table is not guaranteed.
- Worth the splurge: Carthay Circle, the best restaurant in either park.
- Snacks worth the stop: a churro anywhere, DOLE Whip at the Tiki Juice Bar, a corn dog from the Little Red Wagon on Main Street, and a Mickey beignet in New Orleans Square.
