Disney California Adventure is located directly across from Disneyland Park and, guests of all ages will find that it has just as many great dining options as Disneyland.
From Cars Land’s Cozy Cone Motel to Pixar Pier’s Lamplight Lounge, DCA’s Table Service and Quick Service locations have fantastic theming. There are a few special dining events offered as well.

UPDATE: The information below may be impacted by current reopening procedures. Please visit our Disneyland reopening guide for the most up-to-date information.
What about reservations?
Just like Disney World, the Table Service restaurants at Disney California Adventure also offer reservations, however, instead of the 180 day booking window you find at Walt Disney World, the booking window for California Adventure is just 60 days.
Want to book one of the Table Service restaurants below? You can make reservations online, by using the Disneyland app, or by calling (714) 781-DINE.
Note: There is a credit card guarantee required and $10/person cancellation fee (just like at Disney World!).
