A warm welcome from all of us at planDisney to you, Heather. The
Disney Dining Card is an easy and convenient way to pay for some magical meals while visiting the Disneyland Resort. It's almost like having a DOLE Whip in your pocket, but not nearly as messy.
While most of the places to redeem your dining card are located inside the two theme parks, there are some options outside of the parks as well. You don't have to look any further than the Disneyland Resort hotels, as a matter of fact. All three hotels have Disney-owned
dining locations where you can use your dining card.
My favorite place to recommend is
Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill at the Disneyland Hotel. Not only is the food delicious, but you can place a
mobile order for quick and easy service. Enjoy your food with a tropical backdrop and even grab a DOLE White before heading out. If you're looking for something to grab and take with you on the road, I would head to the
The Coffee House where you'll find some grab-and-go items and snacks that are perfect for taking with you. The hardest part will be deciding which tasty treats to get.
If you're looking for a way to extend the magic a little longer after your time in the parks, a character meal might be just the thing. You can use your dining cards at
Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel or
Storytellers Cafe located in Disney's Grand California Hotel & Spa. Meeting with some friendly faces before having to leave the magic always makes things a little easier. I recommend making a
dining reservation for both of these delicious experiences.
Heather, I hope that this information is helpful. If we didn't reach you in time, I hope that you were able to use your card before leaving and that I shared some information for your next visit. Above all, I hope that you had an unforgettable and magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. Come back to see us with any other questions you might have. You've got a friend in planDisney!
