According to the Disneyland Resort website, Carnation Café is currently closed for refurbishment and will be so for the next couple of weeks. The restaurant will remain closed until May 12, just four days before the beginning of the 70th Anniversary.
When Carnation Café does open, it will have some limited-time offerings for the 70th. In addition to classics like Walt’s Chili, Fried Pickles, and the Braised Short Rib, guests will also be able to order the Beef Stroganoff, made with braised beef, bacon, onions, and mushrooms over egg noodles.
There will also be two new drinks on the menu — Karl Strauss Brewing Company 70th Anniversary IPA, which has notes of grapefruit and tropical fruit. The second drink is a Tropical Rum Cocktail, made with Bacardi Superior Rum, Myers’s Rum Original Dark, pineapple, orange, lime juices, and grenadine.

Reservations are not required to dine at Carnation Café, they are HIGHLY recommended. Carnation Café is one of the most popular restaurants at Disneyland Resort, and it can be incredibly difficult to snag a reservation. With the upcoming 70th anniversary, it will most likely be even harder to reserve a table with the influx of guests heading to the Southern California theme park to celebrate.
