Hey there, hi there, Julianna! Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for us. Welcome to planDisney!
I am thrilled to hear you have a day at Disney California Adventure planned very soon. While anyone with or without reservations to a park can
book dining, you will not be permitted entry into Disneyland Park if you only have tickets to Disney California Adventure Park, regardless of whether you hold a dining reservation. Don't worry, there are so many great food options in California Adventure, including my favorite,
Lamplight Lounge. This is our family's favorite spot to enjoy a mid-afternoon break and catch the sights and sounds of the park. Reservations for this spot do book up fast, but we have had plenty of success by joining the
walk-up list in the
Disneyland app, or just going to the location and adding our name with a Cast Member if the walk-up list isn't open.
You can also upgrade your ticket to a park hopper if you really want a dining experience over at Disneyland Park. The parks are just across from each other in the Esplanade — literally a two-minute walk!
Julianna, I hope you and your party have a magical day at Disneyland Resort. We are here with any other planning questions you might have!
