Hiya, Kristin! Welcome back to planDisney! I’m so excited for your celebratory trip—get ready to enjoy every delicious moment!
Let’s start at Disneyland Park:
Breakfast:If you want a magical start to your day, Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park at
Plaza Inn on Main Street, U.S.A., is such a treat. Breakfast with Minnie Mouse and her pals includes those signature Minnie waffles!
Lunch:In Mickey’s Toontown, I love stopping at
Café Daisy for the Chicken Bacon Ranch Flop-Over. It’s everything I adore about pizza, folded over like a warm, melty sandwich—absolutely delicious.
I also enjoy lunch at
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. My go-to here is the Felucian Kefta dish, featuring plant-based meatballs and butternut squash puree. If I need a quick pick-me-up before diving back into the action, I also love to grab the Cold Brew Black Caf.
Dinner:For something special,
Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square is a classic. The food is outstanding, and dining inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction feels truly one-of-a-kind.
If you’re planning to experience Fantasmic!, you might also consider the
Fantasmic! Dining Packages at River Belle Terrace or Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante.
Snacks:Before the perfect Disney day ends, there’s one last stop I always make:
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe. This holiday season, they introduced the White Mocha-Peppermint Tree-shaped Macaron. It’s the perfect hint of holiday mint!
Now let’s head over to Disney California Adventure Park:
Breakfast:For a weekend brunch,
Lamplight Lounge at Pixar Pier is a top pick. The Potato Flautas are crispy perfection, and the Lamplight Chilaquiles are so good!
Lunch:I love
Smokejumpers Grill at Grizzly Peak for a classic Double Cheeseburger, or—when I’m craving a little extra kick—the Chipotle BBQ Bacon Double Cheeseburger.
If you prefer a slower-paced lunch,
Carthay Circle Lounge on Buena Vista Street has a wonderful menu, and I love the patio seating.
Snacks:A visit to
Trolley Treats is a must. The Churro Toffee Square is practically iconic, and the seasonal Peppermint Patties are absolutely divine.
And, since you’ll be visiting during the holidays, don't forget to also check out the
Foodie Guide to Holidays on the Disney Parks Blog!
Kristin, I hope this helps you build your must-eat list for your celebration! If you have any more questions as you plan, feel free to come see us again here at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
