Dining at Disneyland Paris

A day in an amusement park naturally includes eating and drinking, because if you are on your feet all day, you will get hungry and thirsty at some point.
Of course, when visiting Disneyland Paris, it is advisable to take at least a small bottle of water and a cereal bar or a few biscuits in your backpack to satisfy your little hunger in between, but you should definitely take the main meal in one of the restaurants, after all, the choice is huge and the quality mostly very good.

You will quickly notice that the restaurants mainly offer American dishes, but this does not mean that there are only burgers with fries and coke. The chefs at Disneyland have created dishes that are not available in every fast food restaurant around the corner. You can actually find restaurants in every themed area of the Disneyland Park that offer some dishes that match their surroundings. So go on a journey of culinary discoveries.

Reserve a table
Are you visiting Disneyland Paris for a few days? Then you probably don't want to eat fast food only. Before you visit, it is best to consider whether you would like to stop at a restaurant with table service or whether you prefer self-service. There are also various buffets where you can eat as much as you like. It is advisable to reserve a table in the table service restaurants and at the buffets, because there is usually a large crowd, especially at popular meal times.
A table reservation is even more important if you want to eat your meal together with the Disney characters. The places for eating with the Disney characters are in high demand and are quickly booked up.

Dining with children
For children aged 3-11 years there are special menus at the counters as well as in the restaurants with table service, which are offered at a reduced price. Children in this age group also eat at the buffet restaurants at a discounted price.

Half board & full board
Have you booked a package with half or full board? Then you can use your meal vouchers more or less as you please. You don't have to have dinner at your Disney hotel, as you might know from your Mallorca vacation. Here is an overview of how you can use your meal vouchers for eating & drinking in Disneyland Paris.

Alcohol at the Disney Parks

Originally, Disneyland Park in Paris, like all other of Disney's Magic Kingdom style Parks, was supposed to be completely alcohol-free, because the park is primarily aimed at children and young people - at least that's the concept.
Soon after the opening, it became clear that this concept would not be sustainable in Europe, especially in the large wine nation of France. Especially at the table service restaurants, where multi-course menus are served, the guests were incomprehensible if they weren't even allowed to drink a glass of wine with their meal.
For this reason, the strict rules regarding alcohol have been relaxed somewhat. Alcohol is now served at the table service restaurants, and beer is also served at some fast food restaurants, but only in connection with something to eat. This practice is designed to prevent excessive alcohol consumption within the parks.
Le Rendez-Vous Gourmand, a kind of mini version of the Food & Wine Festival in Epcot, has been taking place in Walt Disney Studios Park since 2017. In addition to specialties from various European countries, there are also fitting wines and some types of beer.

Meal Plans at Disneyland Paris

Special nutritional requests

Whether you are diabetic, have an allergy or want to eat vegan, almost all needs can be catered for. Of course, you can also point out your needs to the waiters in all table service restaurants. As a rule, it should not be a problem that you get a meal that is tailored to your needs, but this can take a little time and requires good language skills, preferably in French, but English will be fine in most situations.
Special allergy menus are available in all table service and buffet restaurants on request. These are also available in some fast food restaurants and have the name "Natama Menu".

Le Rendez-Vous Gourmand

Programm des Gourmetfestivals Rendez-vous Gourmand 2019

Since 2017, the Walt Disney Studios Park runs the Le Rendez-Vous Gourmand de Disneyland Paris at certain times of the year. It is a food festival where everything revolves around the specialties of European cuisine paired with the culinary highlights from France clearly in the foreground. At the beginning of this festival there were even only French dishes, meanwhile the offer has been expanded significantly and there are also dishes from Belgium, Italy, Spain or Greece. During this festival there are various small stands on the Place de Remy, each dedicated to the specialties of a region. At the booth that represents the Bretage there is, for example, fish soup and galette and cider. Onion cakes and choucroute are offered at the Alsatian stand, while Spain is of course represented by paella and churros.
