Greetings Rebecca,
Judging by your question, you're planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth which makes me very excited!
At this time, there isn't a dining plan option here at the
Disneyland Resort like the one offered at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
However, if you book a
vacation package, you can include a Character Dining Experience to your package as an add-on.
I've noticed many guests like to arrive prepared with
Disney Gift Cards, which can be used at most quick service and table service dining locations within the Disneyland Resort. The only exceptions are the food carts located throughout the Parks which usually accept cash only.
I recommend you plan ahead and make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance. You can make your
reservations online or by calling (714) 781-DINE.
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Have a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Day!
