Bonjour, Brianna!
It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you to relax. Let us pull up a chair as the Disneyland Resort proudly presents your dinner!
Dining is our favorite activity at the Disneyland Resort. As a family of six, we have found the various
table-service restaurants very accommodating for larger parties. Gratuity is usually included with
Character Dining experiences and at other restaurants at the Disneyland Resort when seating parties of eight or more. We have found that automatic gratuity is usually applied even when a larger party is made up of smaller parties paying separately.
Here are some of my top picks for dining reservations at the Disneyland Resort:
Character Dining: The food at
Goofy's Kitchen is my favorite. And I love that it is available for dinner as well.
Fine Dining: The SH55 Dry Rub Bone-in Rib-Eye at
Steakhouse 55 is my favorite steak anywhere.
Unique/Themed Dining:
Blue Bayou Restaurant has delicious Cajun-inspired cuisine. It is also the only Disneyland Resort restaurant inside a theme park attraction.
Lounge:
Lamplight Lounge at Pixar Pier has the most amazing theming. I highly recommend their brunch. My favorite drinks are the Goofball Island and Mint to Be.
Downtown Disney District: The 1/2 meter “Family” pizzas at
Naples Ristorante e Bar are a great value for feeding a large party.
Honorable mention: You will not regret trying the Fried Pickles with Dipping Sauce at
Carnation Cafe. My favorite entree is the Homemade Meatloaf.
Bon appétit, Brianna!
