Greetings Anne!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm always thrilled to help fellow moms from New Mexico plan their vacations to the Happiest Place on Earth! One of the biggest reasons we love the Disneyland Resort is the abundance of food choices available in a family-friendly atmosphere at both theme parks and the Disneyland Resort Hotels. Whether you are looking for a delicious gourmet meal or tasty snacks, you will be covered!
One of our favorite spots for a signature dining experience is
Napa Rose at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Here you can enjoy creative culinary delights showcasing the fresh flavors of California. It also makes a great date night spot if you are looking for this type of experience in the future! Another wonderful option for an upscale meal is
Carthay Circle Restaurant in Disney California Adventure Park. You can sip on a cocktail in a vintage Hollywood setting, but don't worry as children are still very welcome. My three year old absolutely devoured the Carthay Signature Fried Biscuits with Apricot-Honey Butter.
For more casual fare, one of my favorite meals is the simple but delicious Jolly Holiday Combo at the
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe in Disneyland Park. This features decadent grilled cheese with a creamy tomato soup. It's another family favorite! For a sweet and cute snack, you won't want to pass up the Mickey-shaped beignets and non-alcoholic refreshing Mint Juleps at the
Mint Julep Bar!
I hope this helps you get started on planning your Disneyland Resort eats and treats!
