Disneyland Resort Hotel Dining (pros & cons, prices, & menus)

Disneyland Resort Hotels have multiple Quick Service and Table Service locations, including bars and lounges, fine dining, and, of course, character dining.

Unlike Walt Disney World, there are only three hotels at Disneyland Resort: Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, and Disneyland Hotel. That said, they still have plenty of dining options that are worth your time and money.

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 Disneyland Resorts 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, or by calling (714) 781-DINE.

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