Hi, Danielle!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for sending me your Disneyland Resort question. I’m so happy to hear you plan to see
Paint the Night, which will be appearing at Disney California Adventure Park for the first time ever very soon!
I have great news for you and your mother. There are two
Paint the Night Dining Packages that offer the convenience and comfort of reserved seating for the parade along with a unique dining experience. With the Carthay Circle Restaurant option, you’d enjoy a full-service 4-course dinner of eclectic, Southern California-inspired dishes from a prix fixe menu. At the end of the meal your server would give each person in your party a voucher to enter a Paint the Night reserved viewing area with chairs next to the restaurant.
Another option is the Sonoma Terrace Reception, which will be offered in a recently-expanded portion of Golden Vine Winery and feature a premier view right along the parade route. This package includes a one-hour pre-parade reception with a charcuterie tray and desserts, plus wine, beer, soft drinks or other non-alcoholic beverages. You’d enjoy your treats and view the parade from the comfort of a chair, and each of you would be sent home with a box of assorted truffles to indulge in later! It’s a special experience that I think you’d both like, along with the added benefit of enjoying the show from a reserved seat.
I hope this helps, Danielle, and that you have a Disneyland Resort visit that is pixie-dusted to perfection! Please write back with more questions as you continue planning your vacation. I’d love to hear from you again!
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
