Eating at Disneyland
Woman in the Middle | March 27, 2014Back in the dark ages, when I was growing up, and we would go to Disneyland (but only when relatives came from out-of-town), the food there was iffy and expensive. I still often hear people mention the high cost of food at Disneyland. However, I have noted over the last several years that the cost of restaurant food in the real world and the cost of food at Disneyland have come together and I find I am paying a similar price for a sandwich here at a food establishment in So Cal as I do at Disneyland. The cost of drinks at Disneyland, especially soda pop or bottled water, is still outrages, but the food cost is comparable to eating all of your meals out at a sandwich shop or a coffee shop such as Denny’s of Coco’s.
The family and I just went to the Happiest Place on Earth this week (spring break!). I did not do a comprehensive survey of the prices but I did make note of the prices of what we ate as well as a few other things and thought I would share some prices with you, so you can get an idea.
DRINKS
8 oz milk – 1.79
Water bottle – 2.79
Soda (two sizes) 3.19 and 3.49 (not in a souvenir cup) The large is big enough for two people to share
MEALS
Club sandwich and chips – 8.99 (Sandwich was on a hogie type roll, and had a large amount of turkey lunch meat, lettuce, sliced tomato, slice of cheese, and one strip of bacon. It was large enough for two light eaters to share. It was purchased at Clarabelle’s in Toontown.)
Chicken sandwich with avocado salsa – 8.99 (Available at the Tomorrowland Terrace) We didn’t get this this time but had it before and it was tasty.
Meal with entrée (such as pot roast) and two sides (such as corn, mixed veg, potatoes , cole slaw ) 10.99 to 11.99 (Available at Flo’s V8 Cafe in Carsland in California Adventure) I noted these meals while buying a snack but didn’t have them.
Hot dog and chips 6.99 (Purchased in Toontown) Decent sized hotdog. Normal condiments are available in packests and you can get as many as you want.
SNACKS
Pretzel bites and cheese dipping sauce – 4.99 (purchased at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land in California Adventure)
Small individual pie (pear, cherry and cream cheese) - A little over $5.00 (Sorry, I lost the receipt) The pies were sold at Flo’s V8 Cafe in Cars Land and also available in Apple Cheddar or Mud Pie versions . The one I bought was the seasonal flavor and that changes with the seasons, I guess.
Toontown has the best “food court” area in Disneyland. The three walk up window food places are collectively called “Toontown Dining” on the park map. There is a place selling individual pizzas, a place selling hot dogs, and a place selling salads, the turkey club, and ice cream. All have kids meals.
I hope this helps you make when making plans for your visit to Disneyland!
You can buy such famous Disneyland fare as he smoked turkey legs, churro or Mickey shaped rice crispy treats with ears dipped in chocolate as refrigerator magnets as a little souvinir of your visit!
