What Are the Top 5 Disneyland Restaurants?

5. Alien Pizza Planet 📱

Located in Tomorrowland, this Toy Story-themed restaurant has an amazing selection of pizzas, pasta, and salads. You get generous portions of delicious food for a moderate price. (Vegan and vegetarian options are available)

Disneyland Today’s Recommendation: Count Down Chicken Fusilli Pasta – Topped with grilled chicken, a Parmesan-pesto cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan cheese.

4. The River Belle Terrace 🍽️

Located in Frontierland, this gem of the wild west offers delicious entrees for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s a beautiful and bright place to sit down and take a load off, and some choices are sure to satisfy the palate of every member of the family. (Vegan and vegetarian options are available)

Disneyland Today’s Recommendation: Pimento Mac and Cheese– Smoked Brisket and Herb Crumble on a mountain of delicious macaroni and cheese.

3. The Plaza Inn 🍽️

Located at the end of Main Street U.S.A, this restaurant is a must for classic Disney dining. Their breakfast menu is one of the best in the park, but if you have time to sit down, try the chicken!

Disneyland Today Recommendation: Fried Chicken – 3 pieces of golden fried chicken, a generous portion of mashed potatoes and gravy, a biscuit, and mixed vegetables.

2. The Tropical Hideaway

A trip to Disneyland is not complete without indulging in a soft-serve Dole Whip or float. You can find this tasty treat at the Tropical Hideaway in 3 flavors; mango, watermelon or traditional pineapple.

Disneyland Today Recommendation: Try to get a seat next to Rosita. She spread her wings and flew away from the Enchanted Tiki Room to entertain guests stopping by for a snack.

1. The Blue Bayou 🍽️

Nestled across from the docks of Pirates of the Caribbean, bayou seating next to the water can be requested and is highly recommended. While entrees are a little pricier here, the experience is worth the price. The delicious and often seasonal menu items will fill you up before a night of parades and fireworks.

Disneyland Today Recommendation: Filet Mignon – Patatas Bravas, Spinach, Lemon Aioli and Olive-Piquillo Pepper Tapenade

Do I Need to Make Dining Reservations?

Know Before You Go. It’s highly recommended that you research which restaurants recommend mobile ordering and which require reservations. Restaurants that recommend or require dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance online or from the official Disneyland mobile app. Reservations are made with a guest’s credit card and may include a fee if the reservation is missed.
