Happy New Year food lovers. If 2025 proved anything, it is that Disneyland knows how to keep us snacking happily year round. And judging by what is rolling out across the resort in early 2026, the magic is only getting sweeter. From dazzling anniversary desserts to comfort food classics with playful twists, Disneyland Resort is opening the year with a menu that feels celebratory, nostalgic, and delightfully indulgent.
Chefs across Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure have been busy crafting new flavors, reviving fan favorites, and dreaming up limited time bites worthy of a milestone year. Whether you are visiting for the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration or simply planning your next foodie adventure, this is the ultimate guide to what you will want to taste first.
Celebrating 70 Years the Delicious Way
Seven decades of magic deserve more than fireworks. They deserve cake, cookies, macarons, and drinks that sparkle just as much as the celebration itself. Across Disneyland Park, anniversary inspired treats debut in January, blending classic flavors with playful presentation.
Main Street U.S.A. shines brightest with elegant sweets and nostalgic comfort. Carnation Café introduces a tropical rum punch perfect for lingering afternoons, while Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe leans fully into birthday vibes with strawberry shortcake macarons, Mickey Hat cookies, and a refreshing lemon chiffon tea crowned with airy foam. Over at Plaza Inn, guests can pair a special lunch with reserved viewing for the Paint the Night parade, complete with herb roasted chicken for adults and kid friendly favorites for younger diners.
Fantasyland joins the fun with whimsical desserts like the colorful 70th Stuff at Red Rose Taverne, while New Orleans Square brings bold flavor contrasts. Tiana’s Palace debuts a sweet heat beignet chicken sandwich that balances Buffalo spice with pillowy pastry, and Harbour Galley cools things down with a floral yuzu lemonade topped with rainbow jelly.
Even Mickey’s Toontown gets in on the celebration, serving playful drinks like The Miss Daisy, a lemonade and cotton candy concoction that feels straight out of a cartoon daydream.
Across the esplanade, Disney California Adventure Park keeps the anniversary energy going. From Mickey Hat cookies on Buena Vista Street to indulgent shakes layered with pistachio whipped topping and crunchy kataifi at Schmoozies, the celebration feels deliciously nonstop.
Souvenirs You Can Sip From
No Disney food moment is complete without a collectible. This season introduces charming novelties designed to travel home with you. The Jiminy Cricket Sipper makes its debut resort wide, while the Mad Tea Party Teacups bottle topper adds a whimsical flourish to any beverage. These limited availability items are scattered throughout dining locations, turning a simple drink break into a keepsake moment.
Flo’s V8 Cafe Hits the Gas on Flavor
Cars Land is getting a menu refresh that feels equal parts comfort food and clever fun. Starting January 20, Flo’s V8 Cafe introduces hearty new options designed to satisfy racers of all ages.
The Big Dipper Cheeseburger arrives dripping with pepperoncini cheese sauce and caramelized onions, while the Winner’s Circle Chicken and Waffle delivers that perfect sweet and savory balance. Plant based diners will appreciate the vibrant Fillmore Groovy Greens salad, and kids can enjoy mini buckwheat waffles or classic mac and cheese.
Beverages lean playful and indulgent, from caramel layered cold brew creations to strawberry coconut cream sodas. It is a menu refresh that feels nostalgic, filling, and unmistakably Cars Land.
January Brings Even More to Taste
Beyond the anniversary spotlight, January ushers in an impressive wave of new and returning bites throughout the resort. Main Street welcomes bakery case stars like peach cobbler cheesecake and peanut butter brownie slices, while Galactic Grill leans into interstellar whimsy with pineapple parfaits topped with glittering domes and Stitch chocolate accents.
Frontierland and Adventureland embrace bold savory flavors, from shrimp lemon caper pasta to carne asada tacos and tropical slushies with chile lime rims. Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge continues its immersive storytelling through food, offering imaginative dishes like Felucian kefta spreads, Black Spire waffles, and visually striking desserts layered with mousse and crumble.
New Orleans Square remains a standout for comfort and soul, with shrimp and grits, ratatouille soup, and elegant café style desserts rounding out the offerings.
Disney California Adventure adds its own flair with chia pudding parfaits, Filipino inspired burritos, honey matcha drinks, and colorful cream puffs at Avengers Campus.
