GEEK EATS: New Delights on the Menu at River Belle Terrace, Cafe Orleans, and Carnation Cafe
The Disney Parks Blog announced on Tuesday that there are some new taste sensations on the menu at three of Disneyland’s table service restaurants, River Belle Terrace, Cafe Orleans, and Carnation Cafe. These new dishes and beverages are available as of September 12, 2023, so make your way over now if you’d like to sample these! Select items will only be around until November 9th, so don’t miss out on trying your favorites.
This announcement also features another noteworthy tidbit – the addition of more locations within Disneyland Park that now serve alcohol. Until this week, Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square (plus Club 33 in New Orleans Square for its exclusive patrons) were the only places in Disneyland to find cocktails, wine, and beer. River Belle Terrace, Café Orleans, and Carnation Café are now part of this roster, for a total of five table service locations where alcohol is served.
As with all Disneyland Resort table service restaurants, advance dining reservations are recommended. Reservations may be made in the Disneyland app or on the website up to 60 days ahead. That said, it may be possible to join a walk-up list in the Disneyland app if and when tables become available throughout the day.
Without further ado, let’s get on to the good stuff!
