Tokyo Disneyland has a wide variety of food choices, from sit-down restaurants to wagons selling popcorn and treats. Unlike many major theme parks, the quality is good and the prices are not overly expensive compared to regular restaurants. If you are going for a long day to explore the park, it is a good idea to plan on buying some food along the way.
It is acceptable to bring your own food and drinks to the park, and it is a good idea to have some snacks that you can enjoy while waiting in lines or relaxing for a few minutes. Familiar food can be especially comforting for a young child overwhelmed by the crowds, noise and colors. But sitting down at a restaurant can give you a welcome break and give you energy to see more of the park. Many of the restaurants are just as interesting as the attractions, with elaborate details fitting the theme. Two places, The Diamond Horseshoe in Westernland and The Polynesian Terrace in Adventureland, feature lunch and dinner stage shows with Disney characters and friends.

Drinks are essential in hot weather, so do not skip on fluids. Lines at many of the wagons are long, but a delicious ice cream or shaved ice might be just the thing to perk up on a sultry day. Look for Rackety’s Raccoon Saloon in Critter Country. For other snacks, try Toon Town’s Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s Good Times Cafe or Adventureland’s Cafe Orleans, which is known for delicious crepes.
All of the theme areas of the park have at least one sit-down dining option, and all are appropriate for any member of the family. The Blue Bayou in Adventureland has a romantic, luxurious atmosphere, whereas The Pan Galactic Pizza Port is worth a visit just to see the interior. For a wide range of choices, walk through World Bazaar. Restaurant Hokusai may seem out of place in the Americana-themed area, but has surprisingly appealing Japanese food if you want some local flavors.

Tokyo Disneyland does its best to provide a barrier-free environment. All of the restaurants have menus written in English. If you have dining restrictions, stop by Main Street House to discuss options. They can help find a restaurant that provides services such as reheating food you bring in, providing vegetarian meals, or pureeing food.

No matter where you choose to eat, meals can be a fun and memorable part of your Disneyland visit.
