What is the Disneyland Parade Dining Package?

This special dining package is a great opportunity for guests to reserve priority viewing of an iconic parade at Disneyland. Guests who purchase this package will be able to enjoy a meal from the Plaza Inn and then watch the parade from reserved seating in front of the Main Street Train Station.

How does it work?

To get started on your Disney adventure, guests will need to purchase the Disneyland Parade Dining Package from the dining reservation section of the Disneyland website or the Disneyland app. These packages go on sale 60 days in advance.

In order to participate, a valid admission to Disneyland is required as well as a theme park reservation for Disneyland Park.

After purchasing the package, simply check in at Plaza Inn on Main Street at your reserved time, then return 30-45 minutes before parade time.

Where is the Parade Package Reserved Viewing Location?

Once you’ve finished your meal at the Plaza Inn, proceed to your reserved seating location which will be indicated on your tickets at the appointed time.

Here you can have a front row view of the current parade without having to save a spot all day!

The viewing location is right across from the Disneyland train station on Main Street USA near the flag pole. Our parade began at 5:00 and our ticket instructed us to arrive at the reserved area at 4:30, 30 minutes before parade time (your parade show times may vary).

We arrived at about 4:20 and a line of parade dining package guests had already begun to form. I recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your ticket's listed return time to ensure you get the best views.

Disneyland Plaza Inn Dining Package Food Review

The Beef Bourguignon offered for the adult entree was actually really good. The meat was very flavorful and tender. Although I enjoyed it, I probably would have preferred having the world-famous Plaza Inn fried chicken instead.

All three of my kids had the Chicken Tenders, although two of them were old enough to order from the adult menu, and liked them. They were not a fan of the mashed potatoes, but the don't like them in general. I tried them and thought they were great!

The Black Forest Yule Log was absolutely delicious! Probably my favorite part of the meal.

Is the Plaza Inn Dining Package Worth It?

Ultimately, if you're looking for a convenient way to enjoy watching Mickey Mouse and your favorite Disney characters in the current Disneyland parade from exclusive sitting areas that offer a delicious meal food plus beverage and if you can fit the additional cost into your budget, then it might be worth considering purchasing this package - especially if you've got a larger family or group coming along too!

I chose to purchase this package for my family because we planned to visit the week before Christmas, a time of year that is almost always packed! Because of the parade dining package, we were able to enjoy the Christmas Fantasy Parade with little stress, which was totally worth it to me. The only thing I would have changed is to offer Disneyland's famous fried chicken!
