Sleeping Beauty Castle
If you’re getting ready to head to Anaheim to explore the OG Disneyland resort area, then you’re gonna want to make sure you’ve got all your “Disney” ducks in a row before you go. So today, we’re gonna throw out several Disneyland tips that have personally helped us out during our past west coast visits — and we hope you feel the same about ‘em too.
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!
Disneyland After Dark events are returning in 2024.

These separately ticketed events allow guests to enter the parks AFTER they close and experience FUN nighttime events. Disney recently released details about the events in 2024, including a new Disney Channel Nite event, as well as the return of Star Wars Nite and Pride Nite. Sweethearts’ Nite is also returning, and we now have details about special dining packages that will be available during that event.
Lucky you! Your Disney vacation is going to include tempting treats and memorable meals. To help you narrow down your dining options we have some recommendations. Previously, we’ve looked at the overall best places to dine at Disneyland. Now, we’re helping you with character dining for your trip to Disneyland Resort in California.
Minnie and Daisy!
If you have a small child in tow on your Disneyland trip, a character meal is practically a requirement. After all, most kiddos love meeting larger than life characters. But kids and adults alike can agree that meals are extra-special when they include Disney pals. And is it our imagination or does the food actually taste better too?!
