Disneyland Food Tips

Home » Disneyland Food Tips

Answer #1: Bring your own food. Officially, Disneyland does not allow you to bring in food. However I hear of people bringing in food all the time with no problem. That being said, if you want to play by the rules, bring a picnic lunch and store it in the lockers outside the main gate. You can eat it at the nearby picnic tables, totally legit. Bonus: You won't have to lug it around with you all day.

Answer #2: To save the most money you'll have to leave the park. But you don't have to go far.

For inexpensive food within walking distance of Disneyland (across the street, less than a mile away) go to:

• McDonald's (1500 S. Harbor)

More Disneyland food tips:

♦ Inside Disneyland. Of course, there is plenty to eat right inside Disneyland, from turkey legs to fine dining. It might not be cheap but you can't beat the location. See my favorite treats.
♦ Downtown Disney. Whether you want tapas or Jamba Juice, foie gras or marshmallows on a stick, Downtown Disney has it. You don't even need Parkhopper tickets to visit.
♦ Outside Disneyland, you can eat like a king, save a little money, and get seated a bit quicker, especially if you're with a big group. See my favorite restaurants near Disneyland.
