From one Illinois resident to another, welcome to planDisney Leanne!
The
Disneyland Resort in California does not offer dining packages like Walt Disney World Resort in Florida does, but that gives you the flexibility to enjoy many options for dining throughout your trip!
During our trips, we like to do a mix of both
quick service meals and
table service meals. We usually opt for quick service dining during lunch since we're usually trying to ride as many attractions as possible! There are so many delicious quick service options throughout both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park to choose from. Some of our favorites include
Bengal Barbecue in Disneyland Park for the spicy Banyan Beef Skewer, and
Pym Test Kitchen in Disney California Adventure Park for the Not so Little Chicken Sandwich and delicious Potato Bites!
For table service restaurants, you can begin to make your
dining reservations up to 60 days in advance.
Carnation Cafe in Disneyland Park is a great option, it's right on Main Street, U.S.A., and there is something for everyone on the menu. We love the Baked Potato Soup! You also cannot go wrong with
Lamplight Lounge in Disney California Adventure Park for the Pixar theming throughout the entire restaurant, the views, and the food. We always order the Lobster Nachos and the Cheddar Burger, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip, Leanne! If you have any other questions we can help answer,
please come back and ask.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
