Downtown Disney Dining (locations, prices, pros & cons)

Downtown Disney Dining (locations, prices, pros & cons)

The Downtown Disney District is a promenade located in the heart of Disneyland Resort. The district has a variety of dining options, including both Quick Service and Table Service. 

Downtown Disney is similar to Disney Springs at Walt Disney World, but is much smaller in size and easy to walk straight through in a short time. That said, there is a lot to see and do, especially when it comes to different restaurants.

From cajun dishes, to Italian cuisine, to some of the best ice cream you’ll ever have, you shouldn’t pass up dining in Downtown Disney.

Let’s check out all of the locations currently available.

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 Downtown Disney also offer reservations, however, instead of the 180 day booking window you find at Walt Disney World, the booking window for Downtown Disney is just 60 days, unless otherwise noted.

Want to book one of the Table Service restaurants below? You can make reservations online, by using the Disneyland app, via OpenTable (only Ballast Point Brewing Co.), or by calling (714) 781-DINE.

Note: There is a credit card guarantee required and $10/person cancellation fee (just like at Disney World!).
