Where to get drinks at Disneyland

Did you know Disneyland used to be a DRY park? Only in recent years have they added alcohol to their sit down restaurants in Disneyland and now you can even walk around with a drink while in DCA! We are here to help you find all the places you can snag a delicious adult beverage while at Disneyland! 

Disneyland:

The only places to get drinks in Disneyland are sit down restaurants that require a reservation.

-Oga’s Cantina: This is the only true bar vibe in Disneyland. However, it is STILL family friendly and there are fun drinks for everyone. This location typically needs a reservation, but there is also a walk up list if you’d like to try to get in day of. 

-Blue Bayou: This fun restaurant is a hard one to snag, so be sure to be watching for a reservation exactly 60 days before you would like to dine, as early as 6AM to see if you can’t snag a spot. There is a walk up option, but it isn’t always available especially for big parties. You can expect Wines, Draft Beer, and Cocktails to pair with the finest dining in Disneyland. 

-Cafe Orleans: This restaurant is an easier to get in to version of Blue Bayou. They have similar drink options, although not quite as extensive of a menu. 

-Carnation Cafe: This is the earliest reservation you can grab a drink in Disneyland as they are open for breakfast. Grab a morning mimosa, or one of their signature cocktails. They also feature wines and craft beers.

-River Belle Terrace: Open for Brunch and Dinner, you can easily get this dining reservation. You can expect wines, cocktails, and beers.

California Adventure: 

California Adventure has very different rules when it comes to alcohol. Because of all the food fests and booths, you are allowed to walk around and wait in line with drinks in hand. 

Where to get drinks?:

The answer is, almost anywhere!

Sit down restaurants, quick service, and smaller carts alike almost all have some option available.
