Hi there, Dayna! Thanks so much for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I LOVE food and eating at the Disneyland Resort is an experience all on it's own!
If you are looking for an elegant and absolutely scrumptious meal inside the theme parks, look no further than
Carthay Circle Restaurant. The menu is comprised of locally-sourced ingredients to bring you the freshest and finest Southern Californian cuisine. Start out with the Carthay Signature Fried Biscuits and then choose a mouthwatering entree like gnocchi, salmon, or steak. Definitely save room for dessert as those change seasonally to ensure the most delectable bites.
In the Downtown Disney District, plan to make a stop at the newly refurbished
Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria. The pastas and pizzas are true Italian masterpieces and if you like sangria, try their sangria flight for generous sips of three unique flavors. If you happen to be staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, show your room key when you pay your bill for a small discount.
Finally, if you are searching for the best character meal, my top pick is the Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park at the
Plaza Inn. The breakfast buffet features just about every breakfast dish imaginable, but it's the character interaction here that cannot be beat. I meet at least 10 characters each time I dine here and sometimes this includes characters you can't meet elsewhere in the parks.
I would love to share more with you, so please stop by again with any other questions you may have!
