food IS a theme park
Between the parks, the resorts, and the Downtown Disney District, the Disneyland Resort is filled with so many different dining options!
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes
We recently stopped by Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes at Downtown Disney. We’re here to tell you if we think it’s worth a stop on your next Disneyland trip!
When it comes to dining at Disneyland, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Disney California Adventure
We recently stopped by Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Happiest Place on Earth? Find out here!
There are dozens of restaurants to choose from for your visit to Disneyland Resort, but unfortunately, you probably don’t have time to visit them all!
Disneyland
There’s a popular dining spot in Disney California Adventure that’s got a 2-course prix fixe lunch menu, so of course, we had to stop by and check it out. Note: Carthay has recently switched their menu (as they do seasonally), so these items likely won’t be back on the menu until next Spring! Come along with us to Carthay Circle Restaurant to try out their lunch menu!
Here at DFB we love to try all sorts of eats, treats, and drinks from all over the place — and that includes galaxies far far away!
Galaxy’s Edge
We recently went to Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, and a certain drink caught our eye. There were literally cookies in this coffee drink — “a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.” Come with us to try it out!

Recently, a popular dining spot at Disneyland Hotel added a new breakfast menu, so of course, we had to stop by and check it out. Come along with us to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar to try the new offerings!
Carthay Circle Restaurant in Disney California Adventure is known for Southern California-inspired cuisine, specialty cocktails, and entree prices around $50. Whew.
Carthay Circle Restaurant
But what if we told you there’s another way to experience this iconic Disneyland spot WITHOUT breaking the bank? We’re headed to the accompanying Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining to try out the much-loved bar service and small plates — with a more palatable price tag.
Disney dining can be a curious thing, and at times it can almost seem like a tale of two dining experiences. On the one hand, you can easily find your fair share of cheeseburgers, pizza, plastic cheese, chicken fingers, and corndogs. On the other hand, Disney is no stranger to cranking out solid signature dining restaurants with top-notch service and dishes that would rival many fine-dining restaurants around the world.
Carthay Circle
Our recent visit to Buena Vista Street in Disney’s California Adventure, the newest extension of Downtown Disney to reopen on November 19th, was a perfect example of this juxtaposition. After chowing down on our beloved corndogs over at Award Wieners and eating a rather…sad…cheeseburger at Smokejumpers Grill, we sat down at Carthay Circle Lounge Alfresco Dining for a “total 180.”
