food IS a theme park
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
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!
One of the best things about the Disneyland Resort (undoubtedly) is the FOOD and it’s even better when the price is super affordable!
Frontierland
It’s no secret that if you’re looking to save a buck or two at the Disney Parks, quick service is the way to go. These restaurants sacrifice comfort and luxury dining for quick and cheap meals that are perfect if you’re on the go. Fortunately, Disneyland has a ton of very good quick service options, including an incredibly underrated one over at Frontierland in Disneyland Park!
Come with us to Disneyland to check out the resort’s newest restaurant!
Downtown Disney
We headed over to Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District to try its newest restaurant offering — Din Tai Fung! This award-winning, family-owned restaurant is known for its dumplings and already has several locations in California. Now, it’s available at Disneyland!
Every Disneyland bucket list should include dining at Blue Bayou Restaurant!
Blue Bayou
Blue Bayou is an atmospheric dining experience found in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park. Literally found within the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in the bayou scene, Blue Bayou opened in 1967 and serves Cajun cuisine. One of the most famous Disney restaurants in the world and serving as inspiration for many other atmospheric dining experiences that followed, Blue Bayou remains legendary to this day. But does it hold up after all this time? We recently visited and found an answer!
Here at the Disney Food Blog, we take Disney food SERIOUSLY, and no matter how good we find a restaurant to be, we will always revisit to see if the quality holds. So come with us as we do just that at a Disneyland dining staple!
Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland
Disneyland Park is home to several popular attractions and, of course, some delicious restaurants. One of those restaurants is Plaza Inn! Located on Main Street, U.S.A., this restaurant opened with the park in 1955 (it was then called the Red Wagon Inn) and is still the only place in Disneyland Park to experience character dining. We recently visited our favorite Disneyland counter service location to see if it still holds up in 2024, and we have a lot to report!
Mary Poppins was right when she said, “A spoonful of sugar helps the Disney day become more magical!”
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
Okay, that’s not exactly what she said. But it’s true! If you’re visiting Disneyland, one spot to get MORE than a heaping spoonful of delicious sugar is Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe — on the end of Main Street, USA at Disneyland. This quick-service bakery-style eatery serves up TONS of delicious, sugary options, from specialty coffees to seasonal treats and desserts. It’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — and don’t worry — they have “real food” options as well. Today, we’re taking you along with us to Jolly Holiday so that you can see for yourself what the hype is about. Let’s go!
Here at Disney Food Blog, we talk about Disney World food a LOT. But we also want to make sure we give the West Coast some love!
Disneyland Park
Disneyland Resort has dozens of delicious restaurants, plenty of seasonal eats, and some snacks that could throw down against Disney World snacks any day and WIN. So whether you’re a Disneyland newbie or you’re a regular visitor, we’re here to share our thoughts on the dining at Walt’s original resort. And on a recent visit, we stopped by to review Cafe Orleans!
When Disneyland Resort’s White Water Snacks was renamed GCH (that’s Grand Californian Hotel) Craftsman Grill earlier this year (read all about it here!), we hoped the quick service spot wouldn’t lose its charm or its tasty menu of eats. The verdict? The restaurant remained as charming as ever (no changes besides signage, that we can see). And the menu? Still delicious.

We enjoyed the crunchy and creative End of Summer Slaw Dog in August (read our review!), and we almost never turn down a cupcake or a donut here. This month’s WILD DOG is super awesome as well — here’s our review of that one!
There are so many ways to Get Your Ears On at the Disney Parks and we just found a delicious new way!
Royal Street Veranda
Royal St Veranda in New Orleans Square is a simple walk-up window with a few tables but you will almost always find a long line (So don’t forget to use Mobile Ordering.) It’s known mostly for its hearty bread bowls. But to me this spot is all about the fritters!
