Hello there Scott, from one Illinois resident to another! How exciting that you'll be visiting the Disneyland Resort so soon!
You definitely do not want to start off your trip with an empty stomach! I just chatted with a helpful Cast Member, and they confirmed that you will be able to place an order with a food delivery service such as Uber Eats or DoorDash and have it delivered to the
Disneyland Hotel. You will need to meet the driver in the hotel lobby, as they will not be allowed to come up to a Guest's room. That is a great option for you if you are arriving after most of the on-site dining will be closed!
If for some reason you do arrive early, I highly recommend heading to the
Downtown Disney District for a quick dinner, we love to go to
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes for a great burger and fries, or
Napolini Pizzeria if we want their pepperoni pizza. They are both within walking distance to the Disneyland Hotel, and usually everyone can find something on the menu that they'd enjoy!
Another option if you arrive early is
Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill right at the Disneyland Hotel! We love the tropical vibe and atmosphere, and their food is delicious! My personal favorites are the Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken Wings and the Panko-crusted Long Beans, you can even grab a cocktail at the outdoor bar as well!
I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful trip, Scott! If we can help with any other questions,
please do not hesitate to come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
