Cheaper  places to eat at   Disneyland and Disney California Adventure
Share on PinterestShare on FacebookEmail

Save money on food at Disneyland with the following tips and where to find the best deals. Eating in Disneyland can be expensive. This post includes more affordable dining options in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.  Plus I’ve included my favorites so you can eat at Disneyland and not break the bank!  My number one suggestion is to bring snacks and water into the park. You can even pack a lunch. You don’t have to leave the park to eat. There are many spots to eat in the park. You can even eat while waiting in line for a ride.

But plan to splurge on one meal and/or one snack. I mean you are at Disneyland and the food is part of the experience.  But all that food can add up. I’ve compiled a list of locations (by land) where you can find snacks or meals all under $15. I’ve noted my favorites at each location and/or the type of food served.  Also anyone can order off the kids menu, it’s not just for kids.   

You can view menus and prices online or in the Disneyland app too. Plus many locations offer mobile ordering and I added (MO) behind these locations!  To learn more about Mobile ordering read this post.

About Shantelle

Hello and welcome to my page where I share tips, information, strategies, news, events and more mainly about the Disneyland Resort. Growing up my grandparents owned a travel agency. I watched my grandmother plan and lead tours all over the world. Between her and my mother, I learned the importance of planning before you go on a trip to make the most out of your time. While my main focus is Disneyland you’ll find info about other Disney parks and Disney cruises too!
If you’re overwhelmed or need help planning your trip I offer customized touring plans.
