This “Guests only” policy will be temporary, but Disney has not announced when other Disneyland Resort and theme park Guests will be able to dine at the hotel restaurants.

Luckily, there will be numerous restaurants in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park that Guests will be able to eat at. You can see the complete list of  Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure restaurants that will be open here.

When Guests return to the theme parks, Disneyland Resort will also be encouraging Guests to utilize its mobile ordering system. The mobile ordering system allows Guests to purchase food on their phone and pick it up from the restaurant at a chosen time.

Disney has even added some new restaurants to their mobile ordering menu. New additions include:

  • French Market Restaurant – Disneyland
  • Plaza Inn – Disneyland
  • The Tropical Hideaway – Disneyland
  • Flo’s V8 Café – Disney California Adventure Park

It is important to note that while multiple quick-service and food carts will be open at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, eating must be done in designated locations while socially distanced. Guests may not walk around the theme park and eat and drink. Sitting in a designated dining location and eating is the only time Guests age 2 and over will be allowed to move their face masks.
