There's an undeniable magic to Disneyland. I mean, they literally infuse the smell of homemade cookies on Main Street. There's an atmosphere and vibe that is difficult to replicate anywhere else, especially if you are a fan of Disney's entertainment. Some personalities may not enjoy the long-line waiting, buying tons of merchandise, and the exorbitant prices of tickets (or food inside the park). Price is a huge thing. Is it worth it? That will be up to the individual to decide. I think if you are going with children aged 6-12 it could be incredibly "magical" to watch them experience Disneyland, enjoy the rides, meet some of their favorite characters, etc. If you are going with only other adults, it may be best to make sure that everybody is a fan of Disney - because otherwise it may provide a lackluster experience and it may be better to go to a roller-coaster focused theme park. If you are going with extended family, hope to the universe that whoever is getting fast-passes for you gets it for a ride you like because you likely don't have much of a say in anything. Overall, you are going to get your money's worth and have an enjoyable time, for sure. This is Disney's biggest money maker. It brings in more money (the theme parks in general) than basically any other portion of their business, and they own a ton. If you want to go and can afford it, it's worth experiencing at least once in your life - possibly more if you fall in love with it.

This was an amazing experience that we enjoyed in the rain and cold weather, we got the genie app and lightning lanes which helped out immensely. With the app we were able to see real time waits for ride lines couple days before, and schedule accordingly on the days that we were there. You can also search anything, like restrooms and restaurants. We were able to book walk up appointments for some of the restaurants and also mobile order food and coffee at some locations. This was very convenient while managing our time between meals attractions or shows........

We went for one day and tickets cost $164 each. Parking was $30, in which we also purchased ahead of time. Definitely plan ahead. We purchased a week and a half before our trip and although it wasn't the day we originally planned, everything worked out. My teens first Disneyland visit and they had fun. The only downside was waiting in line for the rides. Definitely get the Genie Service, it's only $20 per ticket, which I somehow mistaken the price. We arrived by 9am and waited for parking for about 15 minutes. Then walked towards the tram and did the security clearance [bag check, metal detector]. The tram was quick and they had multiple going at a time, back and forth, so the wait was less than 10 minutes. We were on the Disneyland Park side, so we walked and enjoyed the day there [was there for about 9 hours]. We didn't stay for the parade or fireworks. By the end of the day, the sun was too much. After being there all day, we realized it's better to go just before the sun sets, less sun exposure, shorter lines. Merchandise and food was definitely pricey. We will be back but for California's Adventure.

🎢Avoid Weekends if possible, we went on a Friday, each ride took more than 30 minutes we had a Genie+. 📱 Download the Disneyland App, there’s map on the app. And list of attractions, restaurants, rides etc. 🎟️ Genie+ is a must. Otherwise each ride will take an hour+, it’s worth your money believe me. 💧Stay hydrated. There’s water filling station everywhere, bring your own water bottle.

Crazy as it may seem. Disneyland wasn’t as packed as we expected. The wait times was less than we thought. Most of time waiting for a ride was less than a half hour. Of course the newer rides had longer lines. The earlier you get there the better chances of getting on the rides you like. We especially enjoyed getting on some of the original rides that were there when Disneyland opened. Kind of like Disneyland better than Disney World. A great day out. The only downside are the ticket prices these days.

A great time! It always manages to make you feel like a kid again. The music stays with you but in a very subtle way. If you plan it right you don't have to spend a ton of money once you get in the gate to still have fun. I wish Genie+ was set up a little better, I think Fastpass we were able to do a lot more with. Lots of neat places to just hang out and enjoy.

Amazing experience every time we go. The new Star Wars was better than expected. It felt so real! There’s always a crowd but well worth it! Loved the Star Wars Rise of the Resistance ride, it really felt like entering the Empire’s ship. The smugglers run was also enjoyable. The park was clean and well maintained. Using the app made planning the day easier. We also used the water refill stations throughout the park. Mobile ordering was easy and faster than standing in the line. Overall awesome experience and of course we will be back!

Fantastic! Still the great Disneyland that I remember since I was a kid. Great rides and attractions plus the crowd control seems to be a little better (didn’t feel like I had to wait hours for rides). The app was helpful though could definitely be improved. And I do recommend getting genie+ if you wanna get on rides without the wait (definitely worth it.

For early September, it wasn't too bad on crowd level. With Oggie Boogie going on its best to hit the rides after 6pm!! After 48 years, I was not disappointed! Great place for All ages!! Love Disneyland ❤️

Great experience, more stuff to do for adults in this side and more interaction with the characters. My kids enjoy Disneyland more they are in the 5-6 year old range. Yet they still enjoyed seeing the Marvel characters. Food was cool looking but was not that great, it lack freshness. I will stick with the normal vendors next time. All in all we had a great will definitely visit again since we have the yearly pass. Next time I will take better photos 😂

We enjoy our time here most by going on Soarin’ and the Radiator Springs Racers. We have the Magic Key so we get to visit as often as we want. But there are some things we’ve noted; We prefer riding the Radiator Springs Racers at sunset or when it’s dark. The ambiance is more enjoyable, at least for us. Also, we usually pay for Lighting Lane but the last time we tried the single rider lane- just to see if it was worth saving a few bucks. Of course, your group is separated when you do this but you still get to enjoy the ride. With that said, I still rather pay to sit with my family. But, we did have a conversation with a man who had a big family and he said it’s too expensive for so many people and I have to agree. So, depending on how big your group is and the cost that comes with that- the single rider lane will be much faster than the stand by lane. I only mentioned our two favorite rides but there’s plenty more to do here. Also, if you have interests in art I urge you to visit “Off the Page”, it’s a gallery where you can buy some really amazing pieces from some really talented artists (my favorite is Brett Owens). Some pieces are $$$ (mostly canvas) but you can always ask if they have the same piece in print or for even less, as a postcard. There’s so much more to discover here… so check it out! Enjoy your time here but please visit both parks if possible.

My 1st visit to the park🎢 on a family vacation. Everyone had a blast!! 😃Awesome rides,🎡 good food 🍗, helpful & courteous staff. We stayed for the evening water show- absolutely the best, hands down...!! If you are a fan of Disney parks, this is a must see. 👀 Our family had a truly wonderful experience from beginning to end😁😄

This was a fun place to visit. Our kids enjoyed the rides and the activities. The Avengers Campus is pretty cool and the Spider-Man ride was a lot of fun. The Turtle Talk with Crush was really funny for both kids and adults. Food was readily available everywhere you go. Ride wait times we crazy, ranging for 30 min - 2+ hours.

DCA!!! My favorite of the two parks!! Slept in til 10am and the lines were CRAZY! Would definitely recommend going closer to 8am. World of color ONE was truly amazing. Everyone in our party loved it and was in complete awe. If you stand in front of the gates by little mermaid and wait it out you’ll get a great view!! And maybe even a little surprise fountain.

The park is fun but waiting in line for an hour and then the ride “ breaks down”makes it a nightmare and a waste of time. Disney of course takes no responsibility and or no compensation is offered to customers for time wasted. Overall the park is great and is well organized, if you don’t buy the lightning pass be ready to wait a list 1 hour in line for any of the rides. One start for clean bathrooms and some of the employees were really helpful.

Sadly, I found my visit to the Disney Calif. Adventure Park underwhelming. I've got to say the Incredicoaster was fantastic and ideal for thrill seekers. The Cars-themed area was also really amazing to look at - so, so realistic. All employees we encountered were helpful and enthusiastic and the Disneyland app helps to plan your day, plus there's maps and wait times on there too. Just like at many other theme parks, expect to spend many hours in lines for rides here, many which turn out not to be worth the wait. Even if you purchase Genie+, you can only choose a lightning lane once every couple of hours, and some rides have a separate lightning lane, which is just wrong when you've already paid extra. We chose to dine in at a cafe here which actually just turned out to be a Starbucks in disguise and was disappointing, though I probably should've looked into it a bit more. If you're a Disney fan, it's worth a visit. Although maybe you'd prefer Disneyland, which you can walk across to in a few minutes. However, if Disney isn't all that important to you, Universal Studios was a much better experience in my opinion.

Love some of the seasonal updates that have been made. If you're heading down this Fall/Halloween season you're in for a treat. There are lots of new Fall decorations, along with seasonal food options for Halloween, Fall, as well as Hispanic Heritage month which I think is pretty awesome! They also have some some great food truck options and live entertainment on the Disney stage for Hispanic Heritage month and a free activity for both children and kids at heart. Expect crowds as always, but not too bad. Many of the stores have cute decorations as well as seasonal offerings.

It's been four years since we last visited Downtown Disney. It's a fun area to hang out with the family. We did an 1 hr 15 minutes of bowling at Splitsville Luxury Lanes and we had a lot of fun. They charge $25 dollars a person. Their drinks and food was really good compared to other bowling places. There is a waiting period to get your bowling lanes so we went shopping around to kill time. Grabbed some Starbucks drinks and all was good. The only downside is that there were a lot of people. A bit overcrowded. Oh! Don't forget to validate your parking ticket. If you spend $20 dollars you get 3 free hours of parking or just eat at one of their restaurants validate it and you get 5 hours free parking. Enjoy!

I think this is the nice place to visit if you want to have a Disney theme in your day without visiting the park. No ticket except for the parking. The shops are nice including Lego and World of Disney, you can look for more Disnet merchandise here. The bar/cafe/restaurant also nice.

What a wonderful family place. Lots to see and do. The lights at night are so pretty too. I wish they had another big Disney store with more older characters. Definitely something for everyone to do and for all ages. Ten out of ten would totally recommend for family fun and yummy dining. Brandon at Naples is the best. The pizza is to die for.

Downtown Disney is kind of it's own experience. They have a variety of shops and restaurants and are a good option if you can't make it into the parks to get last minute souvenirs or visit an eatery. They also do shows on stage near the entrance opposite of the one near the entrance to the parks (more near the Disney hotels). It is definitely more of a money sink than an actual Disney experience and you do have to go through security to get in there. Still a nice visit though

Downtown Disney District is a very fun and entertaining extension of the Disney parks. The crown jewel is probably the world of Disney store which is humongous and has most of all the merchandise that can be found in the Disney parks. There are tons of neat stores and fun restaurants, one of my favorites is Ralphs Jazz kitchen. Call ahead to find out when they have live jazz music, it’s a great experience. They also have a awesome Star Wars store at the very end of the district that has got tons of Star Wars merchandise.

We went to Downtown Disney in Sept to enjoy the Halloween decorations before it would get busy in October to see them. But the parking is so ridiculous now! For the first hour, you have to pay $10 (whether or not you plan on buying anything from the businesses and restaurants). Then after that initial $10, you need to purchase a minimum of $20 to "validate" an additional 2 hours or so. So altogether, that means you still have to pay a total of at least $30 to spend any decent time in downtown. $30 would only really be justified for actual theme park parking, such as if you are enjoying the Disneyland and/or California Adventure parks for the entire day. After we found that out, that's our last time visiting downtown Disney. Unless we get dropped off and then picked up right outside the Downtown Disney district, and we walk to and from the area. I don't mind the metal detectors because I feel like they are necessary in a lot of public places these days. But I really think that Disney is getting too greedy. I remember a very long time ago when parking in Downtown Disney was free for 3 hours when it first opened about 20 years ago. Then they scaled that back to 2 hours of free parking. But now, the parking arrangement is ridiculous! What can you really do for the very first hour there? And to make matters unreasonable, you still have to pay $10 for that first hour, regardless of whether or not you buy anything from the restaurants of businesses. In my opinion, if we purchase a certain amount from the restaurants or businesses there, that should at least be sufficient to validate at least 2 hours of time there. I think my family and I will look for more reasonably priced ways to enjoy Disney. The Halloween decorations were really nice! But it's not really worth it to go to Downtown Disney anymore if you have to drive and park your car there for ridiculous hourly fees. This really takes the fun out of even enjoying your time there.

The world of Disney is huge so if you're looking for something that you may have missed in the park you might be able to find it here. They have a lovely array of different items from throughout the park and just inside of the store itself. Then there are other shopping opportunities and eateries throughout the whole district it is also connected to the Grand California hotel so if you'd like to go in there and look around or you have reservations to eat it is a good place to go and look around before you go to the hotel.

There's a lot of restaurants to choose from. It's always clean and decorated nicely. I last went during fall, and they have pumpkins everywhere. However, my new favorite detail are the succulent everywhere, espeically the planters hanging from the lamp posts. They're beautiful and drought resistant. I think if they added some string of rubies or bananas to dangle from them, they would be even more beautiful.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to an Angels game but I had a blast this past weekend! Baseball games are always a fun time even though I’m not a huge sports fan. I love the vibes. Parking was $10 for general. And be prepared to be walking a lot! Definitely wear comfortable shoes if you don’t want your feet hurting at the end of the night. Also, the fireworks at the end of the game is such a great experience!

Not Only are the Angels the Best Team in Southern California but their Stadium is top notch. I was let down by how plain and old the Men's restrooms appearance was. That said everything else was breath taking. I Love this crowd and the Staff that invest their time. They really make this Halo Shine. Cheers and Blessings to all of you, GOD Bless !!

It was a very pleasant experience at the stadium. The last time I was there it was my 18th Birthday at an Angels game with my mom who past a few years after. I went with my son and grandchildren to the Supercross event. It was pleasant because everyone was kind and helpful from the staff to the vendors and the crowd! No weird actions from anyone. Calm, enjoyable and I enjoyed meeting some nice folks there. 😀 just a good time. The stadium was clean and seating was easy to find. We had good seats and enjoyed the event. The bathrooms were CLEAN!!! The food was good!

Conveniently located and easy to access from multiple freeways, a train station plus plenty of on-site parking, I just love coming to this Stadium. Overall, a clean and nicely laid out stadium. Many food options available. I prefer to sit behind either dugout, but have sat all over, and there is no bad seat. Go Angels!!!

This stadium is very well designed and put together. Parking was a breeze coming and going. The food, seats and washrooms were great. Everything was pretty clean and of course, the game was fantastic. This was my first MLB game but won't be my last.

What an Experience! Great stadium and an amazing game. The seats were great and the service was even better! To top it off, it was perfect weather for the evening, not too hot with a nice cool breeze to enjoy the game.

Absolutely loved every moment of it. Saw the Angeles vs. Red Socks. Though the Angels lost. It was fun, relaxing, and exciting all at the same time. It is truly a great experience for any age. I am planning my next game, then to see the Dogers play at their stadium. Just be ready to dish out some cash for food and drinks. Everything is overpriced, of course. But it's worth it. I had a decent meal for two and spent less than $40. Unless you're planning on drinking. My tickets were for the Terence level 209, front row. Great view for $30. Actually, almost any place you sit will be pretty visual to the game. Unless you have bad vision, then go lower. Overall, settings are good.

Beautiful baseball stadium with plenty of amenities. The stadium itself is situated on a huge parking lot with several local breweries and restaurants nearby for a meal or drink before the game. Tailgating is also allowed but is not too crazy. Gates open 90 minutes in advance of most games allowing plenty of opportunity to find your seat, take in the beautiful surroundings, and enjoy the game. Very clean stadium with a lot of staff members throughout. Each level has restrooms, beverage stations, concession stands, and staff to assist. Would definitely recommend a trip to see the Angels!

It's 2022. Why are the stadium seats made so close to each other? Did the designer forget that humans have arms? It's time for an upgrade. Make the seats wider and with our own arm rests. I shouldn't have to fight for an arm spot. Allow more space so we can leave to the restroom or concession stands without having to disturb our neighbors. I felt so bad we made them get up 5 times. You seriously need to upgrade. I don't know how this place is operating with chairs from the 1920s.

I came on country night and got to see Josh Turner perform as well. The stadium is easy to navigate around. Parking is $10 per vehicle and the beer is about $16. Gets pricey so it's better to pregame before. Lovely atmosphere, seeing the Angels live is always fun.

This was my first time at the stadium for a game. It was a great experience! I choose a seat up top in sec 500 to be in the shade and have a view of the stadium. After walking around during the game it seemed that section 300, was the level to hang out on . Plenty of shade, breezy, food and entertainment. Bathrooms are clean and very accessible.

I have been to lots of angels games here and enjoyed every game. I find that the views and architecture of this stadium is well done and very beautiful. The seating here has great views and sight lines. The service aspect is very fast especially ordering from your seat in the club area. The only change I would say they need is more food selection. The drink selection is great.

Very clean stadium. Parking was easy to find and easy to enter and exit (believe me other stadiums are WAY worst). There is plenty of food inside, and I really enjoyed the nachos. If you are a huge Disney fan I would definitely recommend stopping by! An actual game is very family friendly, so it's worth a trip if your little ones enjoy baseball.

Something here for everyone! Everything is pretty tasty here so you can't really go wrong. A good and eclectic selection of foods that are unique and tasty. Parking can be a pain, but they have valet for $6. Definitely gets crowded in the evening and less so in the morning and afternoons. There's a small hot pot joint on the lower floor that is simple, but service was really attentive and nice. We went with their AYCE for 2 hr at $30. Pretty good deal and we were stuffed! A limited selection and less variety compared to some other hot pot restaurants, but had all the essentials! Beef belly, yes!

Ambience seemed kinda cool but one time was enough for curiosity's sake. Hard to find parking and food was just okay and overpriced. Visited a gyro place and ordered a plate which was ready in like 2 minutes. Unfortunately, it tasted like it too. Didn't look like the pic on their menu at all. Chicken sandwiches were pretty good if you didn't mind the prices. Seemed like the place could have been air conditioned but it wasn't so I couldn't lounge there for very long. The idea of having a variety of food choices was awesome I thought.

The Anaheim Packing District never disappoints!! It is a Soiree of international cuisine that is sure to leave you satisfied. It will leave you wanting more, which is why we always visit as much as possible. Its interior design is a blend of modern finishes with greenery throughout to make you feel as if you are outdoors. Every restaurant and business has the feel of being a specialty/boutique style and is so refreshing from your normal chain restaurants. A side note, onsite parking can be challenging on the weekends. However, they do offer valet parking and numerous parking areas nearby. It is all worth it!!

It was a little empty before Covid, but now it's the hapenning place to be. Lots if good food choices, live music, seating everywhere! Looks beautiful inside, too. If you get there after 5 pm, parking will be tight... I took my 84 yr old dad there, and he didn't want to leave. On Saturdays, they have Vintage Swap Meet - see photos...

Was in town for a visit and we checked this place out. It’s such a great place for foodies! They have an amazing variety of food and drinks. We had Thai food from White Elephant and it was some of the best we have ever had! I got some Thai tea at Mini Monster, so good! I upgraded for the glass take away cup and i love it! I went back the next day to get their Vietnamese coffee and it was delish. Parking is insane so i would recommend valet especially if you are visiting during night time. Also, summer months during the day the place gets unbelievably stuffy and hot. It was almost uncomfortable. They have a great sitting area outside which is perfect for relaxing. Love this place and will be back.

Tons of options, exceptional vibe. We dined at Georgia's. It was a tough decision but I wanted something savory. I highly recommend this place for singles, friends, no pressure dates and families. Valet parking was only $6. The do take credit card.

Cool place for meet up and for hang out. This cool place is packed with good stores. I loved this place . It’s so much happening - they have all cuisine food , beer and michelada and lot more. I loved the ambience and home made Ice creams here. I tried some Mediterranean, Thai and American food. All are great. Must try a restaurant which provides Harry Potter ambience feel something like old fashion. Check my picture here attached.

Great vibe in a well reused space. Very busy so come with patients. Live music the night we were there adds to the ambiance. Many Asian inspired restaurants. Clean and secure establishment. We arrived via ART - looks like parking is super tight.

Parking is terrible... some food is a little bit expensive but the option of having different foods is great. There's a few dessert options as well. I love that there's live music. We had to do valet. Nice place to visit though.

Checked this place out after hearing good things about it. Came on a Saturday it was a little busy in the afternoon but the evening time seemed to be less crowded. Definitely a good experience alot of good food & drink options. I highly recommend checking out.

Great spot! Wonderful aesthetics, tons of delicious food options (including healthy fare, gluten free and vegan). If you have a group who likes different food, there's something for everyone here. Arrive early if you want a table as it's a busy place

Great spots for all the eats you want. They have wagyu burgers and garlic noodles that are excellent. The famous anti gravity noodles are absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a great spot with food/ photo opportunities!

Reminds me of the Ox Bow in Napa and the Ferry Building in San Francisco, but with a much livelier atmosphere and a superior vibe! The place boasts a wide array of options thanks to its open floor concept featuring on-floor bars, breweries, ice cream stalls, and restaurants serving full meals – there's a feast for your eyes wherever you look! We stumbled upon this gem on our last night and can't wait to return soon!

I recently dined at this restaurant, and I must say, it left quite an impression. The ambience was truly amazing, setting the stage for a delightful evening. The service, while not exceptional, was courteous and efficient. What truly stood out was the food. It arrived surprisingly fast, and the flavors were undeniably fantastic. However, my only gripe was with the steak. I requested it cooked to order, but it fell a bit short in terms of doneness. It's crucial that they ensure the steak is cooked precisely to the customer's liking. Overall, I'd recommend this place for its fantastic ambience, good service, and delicious food, with the caveat to be specific about your steak preferences to ensure a perfect meal.

Super fun place to eat for atmosphere. Food is pretty tasty. Gumbo fries = yum! Pricey, but that’s expected for it being inside Disneyland. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is clean. I’d suggest a reservation, but you can possibly get in on standby if they have open tables (first come first served). Note: if you have kids and plan to order from the kids menu, don’t. Feed them something else. $10 for the kids meals and the plate showed up with literally 3 small slices of chicken (size of a chicken nugget), about 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and 3 strawberries. Not enough to feed anyone under 2.

Such a magical experience! Once you enter the restaurant it really feels like you’re in New Orleans! It being on the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride made it so Special. The food was so delicious and Paul provided excellent customer service and made our daughters birthday special by putting candles on her dessert which made it so memorable. Thank you Paul! If you ever decide to dine here, definitely make reservations and order the chicken gumbo! It’s so so so DELICIOUS 🤤

If you have an opportunity I would recommend a stop by the Blue Bayou Restaurant. It was our first time and we have visited Disneyland multiple times. It was not a disappointment! The service was outstanding and the food was amazing! Yes, the cost is what people are wondering. Its medium to high end but don't forget you're not just paying for the food. It's the service also. You do have to make reservations in advance (online or through the app) but you also have the opportunity to stop by in the morning/afternoon because they do get cancelations. The meals are plenty and ambience is enjoyable. If this review helps put a 👍🏼

I had the chance to dine at the Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland and lucked out with a walk-in seating. The service was decent, although not exceptional. The restaurant's enchanting atmosphere added a touch of magic to the experience, with its captivating ambience. The drinks were a standout, delivering delicious flavors that complemented the setting perfectly. On the flip side, the food fell a bit short of expectations, lacking that standout quality worth boasting about. Despite this, the overall experience was enjoyable, thanks to the unique setting and the feeling of being part of the park's whimsical world. If you're looking for an immersive and picturesque dining experience, the Blue Bayou is worth a try, even if the culinary offerings might not be the highlight.

To start, it’s very difficult to get reservations to this establishment nestled in the pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. Ambiance is great, your literally part of the Pirate ride - we could see the boats float by from our table. The place is dim but it adds to the ambiance. The server and staff were friendly enough. Now for the bad; we ordered filet mignon, median rare, spaghetti, chicken and shrimp - along with scallops, tomatoes, watermelon salad, and corn fritters for appetizers. Our main entries came out quickly, like in 10 minutes?! We waited another 20 minutes for our appetizers??? They never brought the salad :( The steak was overcooked, closer to well done, def not worth $52. The chicken / shrimp, very bland and dry. The spaghetti / fritters, not worth mentioning. The scallops however were real good and it’s what saved our meal. A mention on service, after the drinks and food were served, we lost sight of our server, we had to flag down other servers; ultimately 3 to place another drink order. Out the door 4 bills. I would recommend visiting this location just for the scallops, a round of drinks and ambiance.

Our first time. Food was good. Service great. We had no reservations and got lucky to dine here. Our food pictures are Sustainable Market Fish and Chicken and Kale Rice. Maybe next time Pirates of the Caribbean will be open as it is currently being refurbished. Considering dinner next time.

Blue Bayou is one of Disneyland’s oldest sit down restaurants. And arguably the most unique. It is located inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. But this place is more than just a gimmick. It has also been smashing it lately in terms of food offerings. Everything we had was delicious. The classic jambalaya was as good as it has ever been. With quality cuts of meat and well seasoned rice. The mint julep was very good. The chocolate cake was not overly sweet. But the absolute highlight was the fish special. A lightly seared ahi tuna with fresh herbs, rice, and coconut-mango butter. Perfection.

What a lovely evening at the Blue Bayou after a rainy, yet great day at Disneyland. What a taste and fine dining experience. We shared the gumbo, which was quite salty. I order the fish of the day and truly enjoyed it and my husband selected the fried chicken with a side of shrimp. The chicken was a bit overcooked as were the shrimp but still tasted good. We also shared a piece of 100 anniversary chocolate cake which was incredible. The atmosphere at the Blue Bayou is fantastic and possibly a bit romantic. The staff were incredible. Amazingly fantastic and attentive. The bathroom was uniquely decorated and has a very pleasant fragrance.

Fantastic experience. Was lucky enough to find a reservation and made the most of it. The menu is small but lots of tasty options. I enjoyed the corn fritter appetizer, they were very flavorful and the remoulade they came with was really good. The seared ahi tuna for my entre was amazing, everything on the plate worked so well together. For dessert the basque cheesecake is out of this world. Staff was friendly and attentive and it's hard to beat the atmosphere here being inside th pirates of the Caribbean ride.

I have had the pleasure of having lunch or dinner here on four or five separate occasions while visiting Disneyland. There were dishes that I have had that were so amazing but I can’t tell you the names of the dishes. The menu constantly changes according to what’s in season and leans toward Creole, Cajun, or Mediterranean with a heavy French influence. Though the one thing that has always stayed on the menu is the Monte Cristo. I love dining here no matter what because the ambience is 👨‍🍳🤌💋. If you are a Pirates of the Caribbean ride fan, you know. It’s that dining at night, with the soft glow of lanterns, by the the water feeling. And the excited boat passengers passing by! Beautiful. Magical. Romantic. It’s strongly recommended to book a reservation at least 3 months ahead of time for lunch or dinner. If you don’t have lunch reservations, go to the restaurant 10-15 minutes before they open, with your entire party, and get in the waitlist line. Your entire party must be with you or they won’t put you on the list. Plan on waiting maybe 10-30 minutes to be seated. I don’t know what it’s like for dinner without reservations. Just know that it’s worth the wait and effort to dine here when you come to Disneyland.

Food was great, waitress was super nice and attentive. My salmon was a bit dry and the wrong chicken tender plate was delivered (ordered the larger one and the smaller one was delivered), but they brought out a second one quickly. Our son loved the peel and eat shrimp. There were a ton in the 1lb bucket for the price! I ended up taking a little bit of the garlic butter sauce and putting it on my salmon. The cookie dessert was really yummy! This was our second visit and can't wait for our 3rd :)

We wanted to love it. We had high hopes and were excited to eat here during our Disneyland vacation. We ordered a bowl of gumbo as an appetizer. It was so flavorful. Absolutely amazing! We then ordered 2 Jenny's Surf and Surf, side of mac and cheese and the Bourbon Street Mahi Mahi and Shrimp combo. They looked great as you can see from the picture but tasted terrible. The salmon was so dry as were the shrimp. My daughters refused to eat any of it and they love seafood. My husband and I bit the bullet and tried to enjoy it but it wasn't a successful meal. Salt and pepper were no match for the dry flavorless main courses. I will say the mashed potatoes were very good. We enjoyed the flavor and texture. We ordered dessert to go. It was yummy. The waitress was very nice and friendly. We tipped her well because she deserved it. We spent $130 on dinner and was quite disappointed. Not sure why people like the place. The food was not good. We'll try the San Francisco location one day maybe.

Absolutely love this delicious geasy fare with interactive staff who test your knowledge of Forrest Gump. We took the delicious sample platter, shrimp Mac and cheese, and fried cheese, very greasy and so delicious. They even had non-alcoholic beer. My daughter didn't like the kids crushed ice smoothie, said it tasted like acid, other than that will definitely be back! Amazing g staff and ambiance. The seated us without reservation by taking our cell number and sending us a text, we were seated in like 30 seconds. For the two of us it was 70$.

Laid back novelty chain that typically prioritizes their fun atmosphere over an enthralling menu. They carry all the typical American seafood staples - fried shrimp, Cajun boils, fillets, etc. There's also a non seafood section for those with more terrestrial tastes. While the dishes probably won't blow your mind, this location prepared everything well and there were no unpleasant surprises. Service was friendly although a little slow, keeping in mind the restaurant was very busy. Great spot for corporate or family functions.

Our food was excellent. It was quiet when we got here so the server was very attentive to our needs. Pricing was definitely resort area priced but totally worth it because of the food quality and great service. The inside is super cool. If you are a fan of Forrest Gump then youbwill love this place. Not our first time here and won't be our last.

It was our first time eating here. Our server Shawana was very helpful and has the best customer service. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely return back again. Thank you Shawana for being so awesome and friendly. You made our experience here so much more special.

Couldn't rate the food but I know the service was sh1tty. It was clear staff wanted to be elsewhere like probably home with their families. No help, no acknowledgement, no nothing So we left and went to cheesecake factory where we were greeted by a host seated immediately and waited on promptly. I hope your guest get better service. This day you fell way below basic expectations.

I haven't been here for a long time and what happened here? I forgot what we ordered but look at the pictures for the portions! They are so stingy on shrimp that were bland and even fries that tasted like frozen. (In-n-out fries would be much fresher and tastes better.) I thought they used taste better but now it's not worth going and spend my money anymore. I will definitely not going back here ever again.

Very casual dining and ambience, good for big groups that like seafood. I had the Surf & Surf, which was salmon and shrimp, not bad. Also ordered the shrimp cocktail appetizer; the horseradish had a nice little kick to it. Fun looking cocktails, but on the sweet side and light on the alcohol

Our first time at Bubba, and we did enjoy it. We ordered the salmon and the baby ribs. We were kind of hungry, and the portions seemed rather small, but the food was delicious. Next time we’ll add an appetizer too. The original frozen Margarita was pleasant and very refreshing, and it came with a shaker included, which is a nice souvenir. We'll definitely repeat!

Nice atmosphere. Very good food. The calamari was really good. The shrimp cocktail was okay. The sampler was good and big. I would say their best was the boil. Full of flavor.

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night around 7 PM and added our name to the list. It was about a 30 minute wait. We ordered the Caesar salad and spaghetti and meatballs and shared it between me and my husband. I thought the portions were a good size to share. The service was quick and pretty good. However, the food itself wasn't all that great. I think the spaghetti was definitely meant for kids to enjoy. The meatballs were a good size. The salad itself was also just okay. The cost for both items were close to $50. I wouldn't come here again if I wanted a really good Italian meal. In conclusion, it's a touristy place, so food may just be mehh, if you know what I mean.

We arrived walking and luckily we got a table almost immediately, with a good location on the second floor where we had a great view of Downtown Disney. The staff is quite attentive, warm and fast. The place is quite nice, excellent decorative theme, I love the natural trees at the entrance. My husband and I shared the Individual Pepperoni Pizza and the Chicken Parmesan, both were super delicious although in my opinion the portion of pasta with the chicken was quite small (when I was going out I saw that another person ordered the same and the quantity was more big) so I don't know what happened here but it was delicious. The service was really fast, I feel that in this type of restaurant they are ready to serve a large number of people, that's why I applaud not only the servers and all the staff, but also the kitchen team for preparing these fast and delicious dishes. Great restaurant concept.

It was our first night at Grand Californian Hotel. This restaurant in downtown Disney was literally right across from the hotel. We were welcomed by our server Brandon. He greeted us with warm smiles and recommendations. Our 5 yr old twins are picky eaters so Naples Ristorante E’s super kid-friendly kids’ menu was perfect. They ordered Mac and cheese, along with their refreshing strawberry lemonade. My husband ordered the truffle pizza, while I ordered the eggplant parm with spaghetti. The white pizza along with the red sauce on my plate were a great contrast in flavors. They definitely balanced each other out. The red wine recommended with the parm was smooth and crisp. Brandon checked on us often, and filled our water cups when needed. We highly recommend this restaurant for families. There’s also a nice bar I would have totally checked out if I was there, sans kids!

Very mediocre food. Not worth the money. Waitress got impatient explaining the difference in pizza sizes. If she had done a better job to begin with she wouldn’t have to repeat herself and show us her displeasure. Pointing to three stacks of pizza pans doesn’t help when they are all in the same location. You definitely can find better pizza else where. We ordered a large pizza and it was soggy in the middle. But that’s individual preference so I know some people would appreciate it. We also ordered the calamari which was very average. I would skip this place.

Great food! We did a last minute stop here and waited about 30 minutes for inside seating at approx. 6:00 pm (not too bad). We had great service from Cory and the manager on duty was super friendly and stopped by our table to check on our experience (first time this happened in So. Cal. so thank you). We had the gnocchi which was amazing, and the fried pizza dough cheese thing which was terrific for kids and adults alike. The cocktails were spot on as well as we had the Sicilian Sunshine and and the Vodka Blush. Kids cheese pizza was pretty good too. I highly recommend this restaurant if your in Downtown Disney and it’s worth making a trip if your not in the area. I was told they have a restaurant location in Orlando and I look forward to trying and reviewing it next time I’m in WDW. Highly recommend and will be returning but in Orlando.

Took the family for dinner while at Downtown Disney to get out for a Saturday evening. I had the Gnoochi and rest of the family enjoyed the pizza. Service was top notch and the food was quite tasty. Looking for Italian food and want to try something other than a chain when in the area go to Naples.

The pizza is surprisingly good (even compared to my NY pizza standards)! Service was good. Atmosphere was ok/could be better. I wish they were more generous with their toppings for the pizza. I would have liked more onions on my pizza, meanwhile the kids pizza was loaded with pepperoni. My wife and friend enjoyed the spinach salad and the Italian chopped salad.

The staff is super attentive. As soon as we sit down, table water is served. The waitress who took care of us always come back and refill the fountain soda without asking. Food is really tasty, a little pricey but definitely worth it. Might as well enjoy the experience while you’re travelling. Will definitely be back for our next Disney visit in the future.

The drinks were really nice as well as the food. The pizzas are wood fired and authentic. It is a crowded place and with a lot of tourists from Disneyland. It’s a very lively place. We went for early dinner. But you should definitely go for dinner around 8 or later and the vibe would be amazing. Indoors are good and you can actually see how the pizzas are made, but outside you’ll get an amazing vibe with fairy lights and downtown Disney view. If you are lucky you might see the fireworks as well.

There's something here on the menu for the whole family to enjoy. We decided to sit at the bar instead of waiting on a table. I will say, the lighted bar in the evening in the open air just had a special ambiance. The hustle of downtown Disneyland passing by and even hearing fireworks from the park from here really let me know I was on vacation. The bartender made me a really delicious chocolate martini. The food was just as delicious. All the staff here were friendly and helpful. We did request a little more basil for our caprese salads, but the server obliged with no problem. It was enough to share, but it was so good that we each had our own plate. My salmon was seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection. I was told the chicken parmasean was also well prepared. It's expensive here but good-sized portions.

I saw great reviews and some folks talked about this place so I wanted to bring a party here. We originally had 8 but the party increased to 15 so we were seated outside. It was really hot and we were told the fans were broken. But eventually halfway through one of the managers came out and was able to turn the fans on for us thankfully. The food was really good- fresh pasta. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and fried someone’s order of salmon. We also ordered drinks and were too full for dessert! If it wasn’t for the sun shining directly on us and it being so hot, the experience would have been more enjoyable but the food was great and Anthony helped to accommodate us since it was such a big party.

Buffet only dining located in the Grand Californian Hotel. Almost gave a 3 star rating since food could have been warmer. Variety of food was descent. Dessert bar could have been better for price your paying for dinner. There’s a few items that are made to order included in the price not mentioned on the menu. Soup, chicken fingers, cheeseburger sliders with french fries and grilled cheese. No a la carte items as an option to buffet. Adult and child prices. The birthday cakes you could customize and order for your special day has changed with the pandemic. You can only order a chocolate or vanilla Mickey or Minnie Mouse cake for $45. They drop it off with a candle and do not sing to you. Customer service was great and as always they always make you feel special. Reservations are highly recommended but you can try to walk in. They are not at full capacity but will not tell you what capacity percentage they are at.

This place is pretty rad. Yea it is incredibly expensive, but this is one of the most high quality buffet experiences out there. Salmon was incredible. The bread pudding is famous for a reason. The breakfast accommodations are great and the fruit is fresh. Theres a bluegrass jam song where all the characters come out and sign autographs and take pictures. You are paying for quality food and character time.

I would give it a perfect ten! Being the only vegan in my family, I was thrilled that they went above and beyond to provide me with delectable vegan options. My grandchildren had an absolute blast with the character experience, and our waiter, Jason, was exceptional. They ensure that every table gets a visit from the characters, and the kids' faces light up with joy. Not to mention, the atmosphere is filled with happiness all around. I can't wait to return for the fantastic food—it's truly top-notch!

Breakfast buffet was fresh and had many good options for different food preferences. Our server was sweet and attentive. We also got to see characters come out twice which was fun. Definitely has a hefty price tag though, but it’s at Disneyland and expected.

This truly is a magical place. Every cast member makes you feel so special. As a vegan, I really appreciated the accommodations afforded to me by the chefs during my buffet experience. The server had the chef personally come over and confirm any dietary restrictions. I had the mickey waffles (which were good but just a little doughy. Some people may like them that way but I prefer mine more evenly cooked). They also prepared a delicious plate of veggies including mushrooms, asparagus, potatoes, and more. Very flavorful and fresh! I also had fruit and asked them about some vegan cookies which they were happy to provide. I got pics with all the characters and couldn't have asked for a better start to my day at the park.

This was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I went with my parents, and 8-month year old sister. The service was unbeatable. Our server was so nice, he was the best. He washed Lilah's (my sister) pacifier, engaged in small conversation, answered our questions, and checked in with us thoroughly. It wasn't just him, either. If you looked around, you could see all the employees were happy, as well as the families around you. Bad service does not equal being happy, and everyone was smiling. That's why I give "Service" five stars. The atmosphere is something you can't receive in no other place, expect for Disney. When you first enter, you immediately make the decision to look around. It definitely makes kids happy looking around, and seeing the characters lingering around tables. Speaking of the characters, they were amazing. The actor employees are amazing at their job. They spend personal time at each table, there's no rush no matter who's sitting at that table. They are very interactive and open to taking pictures. My sister loved it, though she was shocked, haha. That’s why I give “Atmosphere” five stars. I only gave “Food” four stars because of personal opinion. I, personally, am not much a breakfast person. And, at the time, I wasn’t hungry to a great amount. My Dad and I also questioned a few of the meats. Again, this is just personal opinion. The whole family mostly loved the waffles and banana french toast. The Food still goes well with the Service and Atmosphere like an exquisite tea set. This Whole Experience was a 10/10, I highly recommend coming here. Storyteller’s Cafe is definitely a perfect definition for the word “happiness.” Cheesy, but true.

The food was delicious and service was great! However, everything was just overpriced. The best dishes were the cheapest on the menu, such as the pizza. The corn chowder was AMAZING!!! And the bread pudding was yum. Apparently they have vanilla ice cream available to eat with the bread pudding or by itself, just ask your server. But the meats (prime rib, pork belly) could have been better. As for the price, there could have been a wider selection to include more seafood. Additionally, you are automatically charged for tips. We don't mind tipping, but something about the tip being automatically charged doesn't sit well with me. I like to tip well especially if deserved, but I'd like the ability to change that otherwise. Fortunately our servers were great and on top of everything so we didn't mind this time.

Fun times at Storytellers Cafe! Long time Disney fan, but never knew there was character dining till I became an adult. Got a group of friends together & we had a blast. We came during brunch time & it’s buffet style. In the hot selection there is an omelette station & a variety breakfast staples. There’s also a carving station. There is also cold selections such as cereal, yogurt, fruits, & salad. The staff was friendly & big highlight is getting to see all the characters come out. They come out multiple times throughout so you’ll always have an opportunity for a photo op. This is a great place to take kids young & old. If you don’t want to splurge for a park ticket I feel like this is a great alternative to enjoy a meal while experiencing the Disney magic.

One of the best places to get fried chicken in Disneyland. You get a 3 piece meal which is easily sharable. I enjoyed the chicken breast and the mashed potatoes that came with it. Has outdoor seating with scenic views of the hub at Main St USA. Food is served cafeteria style. You can't beat the price. Would definitely dine here again!

I've eaten here many times before. Fancy restaurant & buffet. Beautiful you can sit by the windows while you eat. I've had roast once before but the fried chicken is fantastic as long it's cooked fresh. The biscuit was ok & recently I tried it with honey.

One of the better value places in Disneyland. There's a good amount of chicken and you can sub veggies for double mash. Just grab a tray and come up to the server to ask for it. Its solid fried chicken and mash but nothing to a actually rave about. For 17 dollars though, two people can share it for a pick me up. That lemon chiffon pie though, I was absolutely delicious and highly recommend.

First time going. I didn't realize it was a walk up dining experience. I had assumed that it was one where you need a reservation and had table service. The menu was pretty basic. I got the pot roast which was super tender and delicious. Loved the mashed potatoes. The biscuit was pretty dry and the green beans were soggy. The fried chicken was amazing. The chicken tenders were honestly huge. My kids struggled to finish them. It was very filling with the mashed potatoes. The salad was super good. It had grilled chicken and lots of yummy veggies. The salad dressing was tasty as well. Not spicy at all. Great pricing too since it was about $13. They helped us find a table and it was beautiful. They had chandeliers and a 1900s feel. Would have loved to sit by big windows but it was a busy time. They also had outside seating. Will definitely return

We tried the fried chicken meal for the first time and it was sooo good. Everything was well cooked and very tasty. The portion sizes were perfect and well worth the money. My family will definitely eat here again🍽🍗😋

Was quite disappointed with the fried chicken after hearing raving reviews. I'm a huge fried chicken connoisseur and I have to say this is easily below average. If this wasn't in Disneyland, this place will not last more than a year. The only tasty item was their mash potato and I guess it's a decent portion. However, I would not recommend it. $20/meal.

One of the fancier restaurants in the park. you can sit by the windows while you eat or out side. I got the fried chicken plate with green beans, mashed potato, and a biscuit. It was great the chicken was juicy, the side made a complete meal. For about $20 it was worth it might be a bit much for some but just right for me.

Great experience at the Plaza Inn! I had the Plaza Inn Chicken Dinner and the Halloween Bundt cake. The chicken was super juicy and delicious, the mashed potatoes and gravy were very good. The cake had a cherry filling and was very good as well. We would definitely return to the Plaza Inn
