Disneyland Resort Just Shared Its Festive Foodie Guide — Here’s What to Add to Your Must-Try List

"Disneyland Park is home to some iconic eats, but these are the ones worth trying this holiday season. Your first stop at Disneyland Park should be Alien Pizza Planet for the Chicken Al Pastor Pizza Slice and an Alien Reindeer Macaron. The pizza is topped with a spicy red sauce, mozzarella cheese, roasted corn, and al pastor-marinated chicken. Then it gets a crema and tomatillo sauce drizzle and a sprinkle of cilantro for freshness. Pair the pizza with a sweet treat like the Alien Reindeer Macaron, which looks just like the little green aliens from Toy Story. The cookie sandwich is filled with salted caramel buttercream, chocolate ganache, and brownie pieces. At the end of Main Street, U.S.A., you’ll find Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe, which dishes up fantastic soups, sandwiches, and sweets. One dessert you shouldn’t pass up is the Cookies and Cream Cheesecake, topped with a cute poinsettia made from red and green mousse and yellow pearls. For something savory, try the Thanks-mas Sandwich, which has all of the best parts of Thanksgiving between bread. The hearty sandwich starts with rustic bread and is then topped with oven-roasted turkey breast, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. It’s served with house-made chips. The Mint Julep Bar is one of the most popular snack places at Disneyland Park, thanks in part to the iconic Mickey-shaped beignets (which are dusted with peppermint powdered sugar for the holidays). But this year, the best thing to get is the Cranberry Pomegranate Mint Julep, a holiday take on the classic drink served at the quick service stand. It’s made with cranberry and pomegranate juices and is sweet, tart, and refreshing. After walking around Disneyland Park all morning you’re going to want to stop for lunch. One of our favorite spots is Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante in Frontierland. The restaurant’s signature dish for the holidays is Tinga Enchiladas, which are filled with cheese and topped with savory chicken tinga, poblano cream, and queso fresco. The plate is served with a side of rice and beans. This meal will give you all of the energy you need to keep trekking around the park. Baked potato lovers unite because Disneyland has two different loaded potatoes worth seeking out this holiday season. The first is Santa’s Vacation Sausage Potato, at Refreshment Corner. The baked potato is split in half like a hot dog bun and topped with grilled sausage, pickled pineapple, teriyaki sauce, and macaroni salad. It sounds like Santa took a trip to Hawaii with this one. The other iconic baked potato can be found at Troubadour Tavern. The Holiday Beef Dinner Potato is a baked potato loaded with spinach-artichoke dip, sliced tri-tip steak, and demiglace, then garnished with crispy onions. Sounds like Christmas dinner all in one bite to us." - Megan duBois
