TRAVEL. CAPTURE. CREATE. ThereGoesSaraRose.com
Welcome to ThereGoesSaraRose.com, where we embark on exciting journeys, explore the world, and Fridays we talk FOOD! Today, we’re taking a delicious detour to the magical realm of Disneyland Resort. Not just a place for kids or rides, join me as we uncover the culinary wonders that await at the happiest place on Earth. From delectable treats to immersive food events, Disneyland offers a gastronomic experience like no other!
As a self-proclaimed foodie, my visits to Disneyland in 2018 and 2019 became unforgettable culinary adventures and sharing my experiences only makes me want to go again! I’d visited Disneyland many times growing up but these visits were different. The first time you go to a favorite location as an adult is an entirely upgraded experience! In addition, I’d never realized there are so many things to do too, like the food events that take place through the year!
The food event I attended was held at various kiosks within Disney California Adventure. Take your ticket with food tabs and follow the tast-adventures to your hearts content! Disney’s California Adventure opened in 2001 and is a theme park located adjacent to Disneyland. It offers a unique and immersive experience that celebrates the diverse culture, history, and landmarks of California through thrilling attractions, live entertainment, and delicious dining options. When I say “Disneyland”, understand I visited both parks and stayed at Paradise Pier Hotel during my trip! I wished I taken more snaps of the food but I gobbled them up so fast (the Mickey-shaped Beef Wellimgton was my favorite!), we’ll just have to buy tickets to the next food event soon!!
With several dining reservations and a dedicated focus on exploring the food scene, I immersed myself in the delectable delights that the resort had to offer. From iconic holiday snacks to themed restaurants, I still have yet to visit even half of the 128 food locations! Join me as I take you through my tasty journey, sharing my experiences and recommendations for making the most of your Disneyland visit when it comes to satisfying your taste buds. Get ready to embark on a mouthwatering exploration of the incredible food offerings at the happiest place on Earth!
Quick Tip: Don’t over-indulge if you have a sensitive stomach! I did at both Oga’s Cantina – Galaxy’s Edge and Cafe Orleans 🥴. I had to take an unplanned rest before continuing my adventure! Whoops!
