Eat smarter by beating the crowds
Lines at the best counters balloon at lunch on busy days. Parks Radar rates each day at Disneyland Park against the park's own normal, so you can pick a calmer day and eat just before or after the rush. See the Disneyland Park crowd calendar →

Dining tips and how to save at Disneyland
A few ways to eat well at Disneyland without losing ride time or overspending:
- Order ahead. Where the park app offers mobile ordering, place your order before you are hungry and skip the counter line.
- Bring a refillable bottle. Free water refills beat buying drinks all day and keep you going between coasters.
- Eat off-peak. Counters back up from about 11:30am to 1:30pm; eat a little earlier or later and walk right up.
- Ask about dietary needs. Most quick-service spots can flag allergens, and a chef can usually help at sit-down restaurants if you ask.
- Consider a dining deal. If your group eats two or more meals in the park, an all-day or season dining plan can pay for itself.
For a sit-down meal, favorites include Blue Bayou Restaurant, Cafe Orleans and Carnation Cafe. Menus and hours change, so confirm in the park app on the day.
