Disney Parks recently released a list of over twenty (20) restaurants where guests can dine in Disneyland (lunch and dinner) for under $11.00 WITHOUT having to live off junk food! I tweaked the list a little by adding some additional entrees that peaked my interest.
I personally have become accustomed to the Disney Dining Plan where I never have to worry about budgeting for meals upon arrival at the Walt Disney World Resort. Disneyland, however, does not have the Disney Dining Plan. Therefore, guests must plan accordingly.
I hope this list will help you budget your meals when planning your next Disneyland vacation!

GREAT article!!! Wish I had seen it before our trip last July. We didn’t know about a lot of Disneyland dining options, but we will agree a few of the meals listed. The rice bowls from Lucky Fortune Cookie Company, the nachos from Whitewater Snacks and the clam chowder in bread bowls were all things we enjoyed during our trip. We also agree that the Hungry Bear has some good options.
Caroline Knowles says
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I cannot wait to try the clam chowder in bread bowls! Delicious!!!
Julie Bigboy says
Corn chowder, it is really quite amazing! 🙂 My husband & I usually order a platter that’s under $15 and because the portions are so large we share it…and then you have a meal at just around $7 each!
Caroline Knowles says
Julie, the corn chowder does sound divine!! What a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Beth Lovelady says

Caroline Knowles says

Finally tried the Banyan Beef Skewers from Bengal’s BBQ in Disneyland last week. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G is all I can say! I can’t wait to go back and try more of their offerings.
