Hey there, hi there, Diane! Welcome to planDisney. We are so glad you are here with your question!
I hope you are getting excited to experience the magic!
Downtown Disney District is a wonderful place to kick off your trip if you are arriving the day before your visit. Downtown Disney has been undergoing extensive changes for some time and it is all coming together with so much more to see and do. You will find
over 25 options for dining throughout Downtown Disney between table service, quick service, or kiosks. For table service options, you can reserve ahead of time or sometimes walk up to see availability. For some locations, you can make a reservation through the
Disneyland website or app, and for others, you will need to go through their website or a third-party reservation system.
For a quick bite, Earl of Sandwich is a favorite for many Guests. Din Tai Fung is a newer addition for table service dining and it's one of our family's favorite options. If you can't get a reservation, pick-up is also an option and you can walk it over to the lawn area. Another option for you would be to check out the locations in the Disneyland Resort Hotels, they aren't just for gates! Each hotel has both quick service and table service options as well. My friends and I love taking a break from the parks to have some yummy bites at GCH Craftsman Bar.
Diane, thanks for stopping by! See you real soon!
