The Ultimate California Adventure Dining Guide for 2025

|

When it comes to California Adventure dining, Disney provides some unique experiences. While you can certainly find some of your favorite Disney theme park foods (Mickey-shaped pretzels, churros, ice cream, etc.), this Disneyland Resort theme park also offers high-end dining, lounges, and specialty quick service options. So if you’re looking for a guide to all of the available California Adventure dining offerings, then you’ve come to the right place!

Planning a Disneyland vacation in 2025? Be sure to check out our guide to all that the Disneyland Resort has to offer this year!


 

There are definitely some things to keep in mind when deciding on where to dine in California Adventure. First of all, if the restaurant of your choice allows you to make a reservation, we highly recommend doing so! Many of these restaurants offer one-of-a-kind experiences that you wouldn’t want to miss because they happen to be fully booked. It is not always possible to walk up to a restaurant and get a table… especially right now during all of the pandemic restrictions.

Also, be sure to take advantage of mobile ordering when you can. Mobile ordering was around before the pandemic, but in 2023, it will become an essential part of dining at the Disneyland Resort. Gone are the days of forming a line to see a menu and order your food. Instead, you order using your mobile device and are allowed inside the restaurant once your food is ready to pick up. It definitely took some getting used to, but we ultimately liked the new system and felt it cut down on crowding and overall wait times quite a bit.

Keep in mind that the menus below are not exhaustive and are subject to change at any time, but they should give you an idea of what to expect at each location in terms of selection. Many of these restaurants include specialty drinks and seasonal food items that are not listed here as they change often. All that being said, here is our California Adventure dining guide! Enjoy!
