Tokyo Disney Resort Food

[LeeLeeLuvsDisney]

I had a request from someone on another thread to post pictures and information about the food at Tokyo Disney Resort. I know some people who haven't been there before are concerned or curious about what types of food are available.

My husband and I were at TDR for 4 days back in April 2009. We took photos of just about everything we ate...and we tried a lot of the snacks while we were there! This post and the photos are not all inclusive, but hopefully it will help those who are researching a trip to TDR and maybe bring back memories for those who have been there already. Enjoy!

First up is the flavored popcorn! It's a favorite snack of the Japanese, and it's awesome IMHO! There are different flavors around each of the parks. You can buy it in a small cardboard popcorn container, or buy a larger souvenir bucket (these are super popular - people bring them back on subsequent visits to be refilled). There are different souvenir buckets in different locations.

I got a Chip and Dale bucket at the cart in Toontown at Tokyo Disneyland (TDL). It was filled with yummy caramel popcorn. The other types of popcorn we tried at TDL were honey (awesome...I believe we found it in Fantasyland) and soy sauce & butter (it was okay...in Tomorrowland).

At Tokyo DisneySea (TDS), we had strawberry (amazing...American Waterfront) and chocolate (yummy...Cape Cod) popcorn. Other flavors exist, we either didn't try them or didn't locate them or they are seasonal and weren't available at the time.

Here are some of the other snacks that we enjoyed while at Tokyo Disneyland (TDL). If I remember where we got them, I'll post that in the description!


Our first snack at TDL, I neglected to get a picture of! Ooops! We picked up an Apple Tea soda from the Royal St. Veranda in Adventureland and then a teriyaki chicken leg from a cart near the Swiss Family Treehouse. The soda was fantastic, the chicken leg was okay.

We also got a snack in Fantasyland at the Village Pastry cart that I neglected to take a picture of - it was a sweet potato tipa torta. A tipa torta is a sauce-filled stick pastry and the flavors change seasonally. It was okay. At one point, we also got a chocolate tipa torta...I can't remember if it was from the same cart or from somewhere in Toontown. Anyways, here's a picture of the chocolate tipa torta:

Meat pie, maple churro and Coke from Pecos Bill Cafe in Westernland (all yummy!) - note the small size of the soda, that's normal size in Japan

Pretzel filled with sweet cream cheese and a bottle of water from a cart in front of Gadget's Go Coaster in Toontown (yummy!)

Honey vanilla ice cream in a souvenir Winnie The Pooh ceramic pot - from a cart near the Western River Railroad in Adventureland (they give you a plastic bag to put the souvenir pot in...go to any gift shop and they will bubble wrap it for you for free) - the ice cream was wonderful!
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8bf1f696eae00000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


Tapioca Mango Drink and a Green Apple Sherbet Cone (the drink was mango flavored with huge tapioca balls in it) - got it somewhere near Jungle Cruise in Adventureland - my husband enjoyed the drink, I didn't because I don't like tapioca...the sherbet was good!
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a0df23b3127ccef950a9f8a38d00000040O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/

We had a honey-lemon churro and caramel popcorn during the Dreamlights Parade - no pic of the churro, sorry! But it was good!

We had a Blueberry Mousse in a Souvenir Cup from Pecos Bill Cafe - no pic, sorry! It was pretty good, but I'm not a blueberry fan. We mainly got it for the souvenir cup, again ceramic, nice quality.


Strawberry-Blueberry Mickey Waffle from The Great American Waffle Co. in World Bazaar - very good!

One of the first snacks we decided to try at Tokyo DisneySEA (TDS) is the infamous Gyoza Sausage Bun. It is sold at the Refreshment Station cart on Mysterious Island. On very busy days, the line for this snack can be 20 minutes or more! We were there on a slow weekday in April, so we only waited in line 3 minutes. Verdict: we didn't think it was that great. The bun part is very dough-y. We also got Apple Tea Soda with it, which was as always, delicious.

Ukiwah (Shrimp) Bun - we got this at Seaside Snacks on the walkway between Cape Cod and Port Discovery. I'm not sure if they still sell it. We did not care for it at all, it was very dough-y and "blah", but it looked neat!
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8be6b3ccfbd00000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


Maple-Apricot Pastry purchased somewhere in Port Discovery - it was good!
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a0df23b3127ccef95106a6426000000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


Sea Salt Ice Cream in a plastic souvenir case and Tiramisu Ice Cream Sandwich from a cart in Port Discovery near Aquatopia - both of these were absolutely delicious. The sea salt ice cream was like vanilla with just a touch of sea salt, don't be afraid to eat it, it's wonderful! So was the sandwich.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8bea6668f1900000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


Somewhere in the Arabian Coast, we got Fried Mochi Balls-Caramel Coffee Flavor. They were really good. Mochi balls are usually made of rice...these are fried, so they are crispy outside, more chewy inside, and they were sweet, not bland at all. I found a picture of the sample food they had up at the counter.

We also got a Sesame Churro in the Arabian Cost. The churro was interesting...the taste grew on me as I ate it!

Somewhere around Fortress Explorations, we got a maple churro (always good) and a cherry mousse in a souvenir ceramic cup (also good!) No pic, sorry!


I'll see if I can take pics of the souvenir cups, we have them displayed at home. They are a neat, inexpensive souvenir.

Next up are pics from dining places, not snack places!

Very cool, thanks for posting these pics!!!

I liked the gyoza from Mysterious Island, but it's not as great as the hype for it...if it's less than a 5 minute wait, it's worth it.

In general, the food at TDL completely outshines the food at WDW, that's for sure.

The popcorns are great, especially Chocolate and Strawberry.

Agreed, ChrisFL. The food really is good! As you can tell by our photos, we were totally obsessed with all the wonderful choices we had there.

FYI...I'm going back and editing a couple of things in previous posts as I found more food photos when I looked again!!!!!! Then, I'll move from snacks to meals...

[LeeLeeLuvsDisney]

Okay, here are some pictures for our sit-down meals at TDL.

One night, we had dinner at Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall in Fantasyland. The theming here is fantastic, I highly recommend at least walking in and looking around. Queen of Hearts is like a buffeteria. You get a tray and pick out what you want from a selection of stuff that's laid out for you, and then you pay for what's on your tray at the end of the line.


I had Rotisserie Chicken with Garlic Sauce and Chestnut Cream Cake for dessert.

My husband had the Seafood Platter (w/ fish, scallop and shrimp) and the Strawberry Mousse for dessert.

One day we had lunch at Pan Galactic Pizza Port in Tomorrowland. Sit upstairs for some neat entertainment from Tony Solaroni.

I had the chicken and veggie pizza set. A set includes a slice of pizza, drink, and cream puffs for dessert. My husband had the shrimp and broccoli pizza set.

Here are some pictures from our sit-down meals at TDS.

One night we had dinner at Restaurant Sakura in the American Waterfront. They serve Japanese food. The service here is excellent, but we actually didn't care for the food too much!!! We had much better Japanese food outside of TDR!!! The tea was good, though...

We started with Japanese Vegetable Salad with Sesame Dressing and Soy-Braised Pork.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8be26b90eb600000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


Then, I had the Udon Bowl with a side of Assorted Sushi (I had already eaten some when I remembered to take the picture!)
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8bf8728ef9300000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


My husband had the Assorted Seasonal Tempura with Rice and Miso Soup.

Another time, we had lunch at Cafe Portofino in Mediterranean Harbor. It is a buffeteria that serves Italian food. We thought the food here was wonderful for being a buffeteria!


I had the Cream of Vegetable Soup, Salad with Roast Beef & Chicken, and Strawberry Mousse for dessert.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8bf07c2ef3900000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


My husband had the Salad with Roast Beef & Chicken, Spaghetti with Ham Sauce, and Coffee Cream Dessert.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9cc00b3127ccef8bf71fc6e0c00000030O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


We had dinner one night at Zambini Brothers' Ristorante in Mediterranean Harbor. It's counter service that serves Italian food. We also thought the food here was pretty good.


I had the Salad with Tomato and Mozzerella and the Spaghetti Bolognese. My husband had the Salmon Pizza and Raisin Cream Cake.

We also ate outside of the parks while in the Tokyo Disney Resort area. One place we ate was at Kua Aina in the Ikspiari shopping area. Kua Aina is a Hawaiian hamburger restaurant chain. The food was really good! You go up to a counter and order your food, then find a seat afterwards and they will bring the food to you.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9db33b3127ccec74c7bb5af9300000040O00Gat2jRkyYg9 vPhg/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/


We stayed at the Sheraton, one of the Official Hotels of the Tokyo Disney Resort, which is on the monorail line. The hotel breakfast was about $30 per person. To save money, we found a little restaurant called Becker's that is located on the ground floor of the Maihama Train Station, very close to the Disney Resort Welcome Center. It's basically a "fast food" breakfast, but it was quick, good, and cheap (about $10 for BOTH of us). It got us going and allowed us to spend more inside the parks!

Here's a sample $5 breakfast...a cup of coffee (you can also get water, for free, unlimited refills), tater tots, and a croissant with egg and sausage (kind of like a hot dog) inside.

I just wanted to make one final note about food at TDR and post a few extra pictures.

All the menus that we encountered at TDR were in both English and Japanese. Many of the snack places and restaurants had either pictures of the food as well, or really realistic plastic food in cases to show you what the items are. They make it so easy to know exactly what you're getting!

Here are a few examples of menus and plastic food cases:

Snack cart menu in front of Swiss Family Treehouse in TDL shows you exactly what each item is:

I hope these posts help anyone who's apprehensive about what they might encounter food-wise at TDR. It was a dream come true for my husband and I to get to visit TDR and Japan, and I am encouraging anyone who's interested in going to GO FOR IT! Just do a little research before you go...but I assure you, it's easier to get around Japan than you think...it's not difficult to find reasonably-priced hotels and just about any kind of food you want. And TDR really is fantastic, unique, and well worth the effort to get there.

I remember that place! OMG we took a picture in front of it because of how expensive it was. I wasn't ready for it at all and I can read hiragana...how sad. But it was great! I do think I'd go again...but our last couple of trips we didn't hit it up.

Can you use those popcorn buckets in WDW? I have two one with Chip and Dale and the other is stitch. I wanted to bring mine with me...but I was worried I wouldn't be able to use it.

We're APs at WDW and go a lot...and I have NEVER seen anyone with a popcorn bucket at WDW, nor have we tried to use ours. WDW has a souvenir bucket now, but it's kind of boring and looks different from the ones at TDL/TDS. We rarely get popcorn there anyways...but we're hoping to find the caramel popcorn I keep hearing about to try it. Regular popcorn is so boring after you've had strawberry or black pepper flavor!

But, anyways, to be brief - I don't really have an answer to your popcorn bucket question!

Haha okay! I miss the blackpepper flavor too! They had a cheese flavored one that I really liked too!

[LeeLeeLuvsDisney]

Oooh, never saw a cheese flavor...must have been a seasonal flavor. We had also heard about a cappucino flavor, but never found it either. I would have tried both of those if they had them!

[Judy from Boise]

I really enjoyed your thread, thank you.

[disney_princess_85]

Wow, thank you so much for the pics! It looks like there's a lot of great stuff to try. I particularly like the sound of the flavoured popcorn and I love that quite a few things come in souvenir pots etc. The packaging is super cute too! :)

[slimplaw]

We ate in the Teddy Roosevelt Bar on the large ship they have in the American section. I ordered the beef and graham even though the waitress could not explain to me what it was. I was happy to see that it was a roast beef sandwich on wheat bread. Also, it was very good.
The only disappointment was the hamburger set I had in the restaurant with the Donald, Chip and Dale show. It turned out to be a terriyaki burger. It was just OK. We had been in China for 2 weeks before arriving and I was really ready for a hamburger. I just had to wait until I arrived home to satisfy my hamburger craving.

Slimpaw, if you ever go back to TDR and crave a hamburger, be sure to try Kua Aina at Ikspiari (the shopping mall type area near Maihama Station). We found the burgers to be quite good and the fries were good as well.

DH would really like to visit Japan (including TDL/TDS of course) in the future but food options are always a worry for me. I am a picky eater :sad2: but your thread has shown me that I will not go hungry - even if I do just live on churros, ice-cream and popcorn for a week or two! :laughing:

I must say that the packaging and presentation of all types of food-stuff is outstanding - very cute indeed! :cutie:

[TokyoDina]

Ohh you just got me thinking about those popcorn buckets! I remembered on out last trip there they were flying open during rides. So each time you'd get on a ride a CM would offer you tape to tape down the lid. I don't think I'd seen it happening but I noticed that when we first got on the rides no CMs were there with tape and then towards the end of the day they were there offering tape. I don't know what would have happened if you said no.

:P


Ohh I loved the food at TDL in the Red Queen's banquet or something like that. I have to say it was the most expensive meal I've ever eaten there.

I don't remember seeing anyone with tape while we were there, but I only carried around my bucket for the one day that we actually bought it, and it was usually empty because as soon as we got the popcorn in it, we devoured it! The other days, I had camera equipment and that was enough to carry around for me!

Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall at TDL seemed to be mid-range as far as prices go. We spent more when we ate at Restaurant Sakura in TDS. I know some of the other restaurants are more expensive, too, like Magellan's at TDS and maybe even Blue Bayou at TDL.

[disneyobsessed808]

this thread is awesome. thanks!

tokyo disneyland has some interesting food but i loved the flavored popcorns - definitely try the shoyu/soy sauce butter flavor. that was my favorite when i went.

Honey vanilla ice cream in a souvenir Winnie The Pooh ceramic pot - from a cart near the Western River Railroad in Adventureland (they give you a plastic bag to put the souvenir pot in...go to any gift shop and they will bubble wrap it for you for free) - the ice cream was wonderful!

WOW... that's the coolest thing. Almost worth the trip alone.
My son would LOVE that...

[simzac]

In US dollars, what would someone expect to spend per day on food at TDR? TIA

[sand2270]

Sea Salt Ice Cream in a plastic souvenir case and Tiramisu Ice Cream Sandwich from a cart in Port Discovery near Aquatopia - both of these were absolutely delicious. The sea salt ice cream was like vanilla with just a touch of sea salt, don't be afraid to eat it, it's wonderful! So was the sandwich.

I have that little sea salt ice cream souvenir bowl... I keep my Splenda packets in it :)

It really varies depending on how much you eat, what type of food you eat, and what type of dining you want to do. There are so many options, from cheaper snack food all the way up to fine dining. Here are a variety of examples of prices:

Regular box of popcorn: $3.50

Large serving of popcorn with souvenir bucket: $13.50

Mousse in a souvenir cup: $5.50

Soda or coffee or iced coffee or iced tea: $2.50-3.25

Dessert crepe at Cafe Orleans (TDL): $5.00

Mickey waffle at the Great American Waffle Co. (TDL): $4.50

Main course (entree) at Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall (TDL): $11.00-16.00

Main course (entree) at Blue Bayou (TDL): $17.00-30.00

Pork Tortilla Sandwich w/ Sweet Miso Sauce at Boiler Room Bites (TDL): $5.50

Lunch set (slice of pizza, soda, & mini cream puffs) at Captain's Hook Galley (TDL): $9.50

Smoked chicken w/ Mexican Rice & Vegetables at Yucatan Base Camp Grill (TDS): $8.00

Grilled Reuben Sandwich at New York Deli (TDS): $8.50

Main course (entree) at Vulcania (TDS): $9.00-14.00

Sailing Day Buffet-all you can eat (TDS): $31.00 adults, $19.00 kids 7-12, $11.25 kids 4-6

Mickey Mouse Orange Bar or Minnie Mouse Apple Bar (popsicle): $3.00

Hope this gives you a good idea of pricing. Also, the menus and prices are posted outside of each restaurant, so you can decide before you go in. Just be aware that servings are generally smaller than they are in the U.S., although we found that the servings we got for meals (sit-down meals, buffeteria meals, etc.), were actually quite sufficient for us - we were satisfied, but not stuffed. The snacks and sodas are on the smaller side, but we just used that as an opportunity to try a variety of foods without getting stuffed!

[heatherleigh]

Thanks so much for posting the photos. I enjoyed looking at them. I've always wanted to visit Japan, but not too sure if I'd be interested in TDL... I used to want to visit all the parks, but after reading some reviews, it doesn't sound like something I'd make a point to do. Not that I read anything negative, but it doesn't seem as Disney-magical, I guess.

The salmon pizza looked especially delish and now I want tempura!

Well um, TDL and TDS are the cleanest parks (fresh paint and trash removal is an obsession there), with IMO the best trained and some of the friendliest staff, the rides are the best at ANY Disney park, and are always well maintained, the effects, etc. are always working.

They have some attractions you can't find anywhere else like Pooh's Hunny Hunt and the new Monsters Inc. ride. Oh and TDS is IMO THE crown jewel of theme park design anywhere. The hotels are immaculate as well.

So, what's not to like?

Agreed. My husband and I found TDL and TDS to be the most Disney-magical parks in the world! (Although we haven't been to Hong Kong yet...the least magical would be Disneyland Paris, IMHO). Disneyland is cool because it has Walt's personal touch on it and you can really feel him there. We go to WDW all the time (APs) and we feel it's lost some of its magic due to poor maintenance and sanitation (stinky bathrooms, leaky toilets, garbage on the ground) not to mention the lower staffing levels and other cutbacks. Tokyo does not suffer from any of those issues and it makes being there such an immersive, spectacular experience.

The Tokyo parks are what I believe Walt Disney was striving for as far as entertainment for the whole family, cleanliness, safety, etc. I am certain Walt would have been proud of what they are doing there.

My husband and I, despite me being laid off and the fact that we're expecting our first child any day now, are saving every penny we can to get back to TDR and experience it yet again. We can't wait to share it with our child(ren), hopefully over and over again. It was a life-altering experience to be there (I bawled like a baby when I walked into each park, they are so beautiful) and we can't wait to get back and feel that magic again.

I do agree on most points but the magic is in what the (mainly American) Imangineers have done and this alone. The rides are stunning and beautiful and the theming is simply breathtaking.

However...I don't think it is the most magical staff wise at all. It would be a perfect park but for the Japanese.
I found the staff simply over the top with their rules etc. and their lack of English. If you dare to ask them something they hand you a piece of paper or simply ignore you. Even the "tagged" English speaking staff members barely spoke english.
Now while I understand it is Japan and I didn't go in EXPECTING everyone to speak english (especially as 95% of the visitors are Japanese)...you do wonder why so many don't given that walking through Tokyo city almost all the Japanese I encountered knew at least a little bit and were 10 times more helpful.

Now after going to WDW in December I do say I MISS some of their rules (after waiting - standing still - for 15mins to get across the bridge to Frontierland after Wishes because there were NO CMs to be seen for miles.)
BUT...I still think it is over the top. Especially the double standard they applied to us "foreigners" because they "didn't understand" when we told them there were 4 in our party on entering a line and that 2 were going to the bathroom and getting food such that when the other 2 came back they were most upset even though the people in front of us had 4 more show up with nothing said.

As for Paris...it would be a pretty good park but for the European visitors who smoke anywhere and everywhere with no enforcement by the CMs.
The castle is the most beautiful of all and Crushes coaster I think is the best ride anywhere. Only Pooh's hunny hunt comes probably on par.


As for FOOD...you must have spent a small fortune. The yen was at an all time low in Feb 09 and everything was incredibly expensive.
600yen for a very small dessert. We were paying enough for accommodation let alone food.
We mainly ate snack stuff from the supermarket in Ikspiari or the small market in the TDLH and then had dinner at either Kua Aina in the Ikspiari shopping area or Planet Hollywood. One night we went to the Cape Cod counter Service and had small hamburgers and clam chowder.
It is a great place to go on a diet.

[dee slack]

I'm looooving this thread - thank you to everyone who's contributed, it's so informative. We are currently planning our trip to Japan in May 2011 and finishing with 2 or 3 days in Disney before home. Really love those souvineer containers - I'm going to be having quite a few of those as they are so sweet.
I'm a vegetarian so thinking the rest of Japan might not be so accomodating as Disney?

Well besides fish, much of what japanese eat are noodles, in various kinds and obviously rice. I don't think you'll have too much trouble, there's also a LOT of western restaurants there in the cities.

I've read guide books that say the noodles are cooked in fish or meat stock tho' so that's probably gonna rule those out. I'm a very strict vegetarian of 30 years. In China, I mainly had boiled rice, sometimes with soy sauce so I'll get by I guess. We'll definately be checking out HRC as this is our tradition wherever we go:) and I could do with losing weight

We actually had the opposite experience at TDR. We loved all the rules because it really made everything very fair and orderly. Lines moved quickly, we didn't get jostled around, we had awesome views for the parades, etc. Also, we found the cast members to be extremely helpful. We were never ignored. Even if they couldn't speak English, they went out of their way to answer any question, solve any problem.

We are extremely frugal people and we felt we didn't spend THAT much on food. We budgeted very carefully for our trip and decided that we would spend a little more while at TDR, and less while in Tokyo, Himeji and Kyoto. Outside of TDR, many of our meals were from the 7-11 and small noodle shops. That allowed us to enjoy trying the snacks at TDR (which for the most part, we bought one of and shared, which kept costs down). We felt that a good number of the food items were comparatively priced to other Disney parks, but of course, that varies somewhat with the exchange rate.
Just like other Disney resorts, I think you can be as frugal or as fancy as you want with your food...and of course, eat even cheaper outside the park, too, if need be.

I would suggest visiting the forums at Fodors.com and posing your question about eating vegetarian in Japan to some of the frequent travelers there...when I was researching for our trip, I remember seeing some posts that other vegetarians had written and there were some wonderful tips about what foods were "safe" to eat, what restaurants were vegetarian friendly, and also how to request that certain things be prepared a certain way.

Good luck and have fun!

Oh I so agree. TDR is SOOOO much more Disney than the other parks and the Japanese couldn't be more Disney! Your food photos and stories are fantastic. Although it might be a little pricier, the food here is a much better value and much better tasting than regular park food. Our favorites are the coconut popcorn, seafood pizza and ebi (shrimp) burgers!

Chiming in late, but I agree with this. I have family in Tokyo, and visit once in a while and every couple of years or so, I get to go to TDL/TDS. I agree that it is absolutely the best maintained park out of the ones I have seen (WDW, DL), but the Japanese have not mastered the magic factor. Don't get me wrong, their customer service is great, but it is sooo by-the-book, and can be very robotic and unthinking when you have a situation that is not so textbook. I have been in situations where a CM just repeats her handbook response to me over and over again, but she's not answering my question (and I speak Japanese).

I have been to WDW several times and have witnessed some AWESOME CM-guest interactions that I can't imagine happening at TDR. There is a lot more inclusion at the US parks, regarding disabled people and older park-goers. I LOVE TDR (in fact, am trying to plan my next trip in Sept), but everytime I go, as much as I love it, I always feel a little empty because the Disney vibe is a little different.

Just my observations over the years.

[lasob]

I have one photo from my trip to TD this past Nov. This was an ebi (shrimp) sandwich. It was delicious and cost about $10 for the whole tray. We ate mostly at cafes and counter service places. We liked the cafe on the ship.

[GrtWtNorth]

My only difficulty in Tokyo Disneyland was that it seemed that there was only one place in the park to get any menu item. For example, if your family wanted hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken and pizza, you would have to visit four different restaurants.

My favorite snack was a Mickey waffle with Green Tea Mouse, Sweet Red Beans and Brown Sugar Syrup.

[goldielocksraj]

Yyyuuuummmm!!! The food looks so good and interesting! I'll be going at least once, since starting this November my sister and brother-in-law will be stationed in Japan for three years. It's so nice to know that TDL has it's own special snacks. And I love all of the souvineer containeres they come in, too.

[Tbasko]

My family absolutely love Tokyo Disney. We were stationed in Northern Japan and would go down to Disney every year. One year we even took the Bullet train down. We would stay at the New Sanno and take the train out to the Parks. My children loved the adventure of getting there and just enjoying the Disney magic. Our favorite food item was of course the Sea Salt ice cream. My daughter's ultimate favorite Disney ride is Journey to the Center of the Earth at DisneySea. It's an awesome park.

[LeeLeeLuvsDisney]

Thanks lasob and GrtWtNorth for posting photos. If anyone else has any, please add to this thread. Although I started it, it's really for everyone to post their photos and info.

[lilosurf11]

What I love the most about the food at TDR is that you often times get souvenirs. For example, during the Easter Wonderland, you get buy a meal that came with a lunch box. It was quite adorable.:thumbsup2

[mika911]

What are some more of these "rules," you must follow at the parks? I don't want to get in trouble or be embarrassed. Many thanks!

[ChrisFL]

I'm not sure if this is a "rule" or just a cultural oddity, but I've read that people in Japan do not walk and eat food (or drink??). They will only eat food when sitting down or standing, etc.

So that's the only advice I have.

Maybe someone more experienced in Japan can add some more info on that :)

This is very true, even at TDL. It's not a rule, but it's very socially unacceptable and very rude to eat while walking. You'll see a ton of people walking around with popcorn buckets around their necks, but you'll rarely see anyone eating from them.

In the city, you'll see people sitting on milk crates or little stools outside of a crepe window rather than walking away with their crepe.

Drinking seems to be a little more socially acceptable, but it's still frowned upon.

Oddly enough, public intoxication is more acceptable than eating while walking - go figure!

As for other park "rules," your are ALLOWED to run in TDL, and I highly suggest you do so. At park opening, we ran from the gate to the Monster's Inc. Fast Pass line. Even then, our fastpass was for a time slot after noon if I remember correctly.

Also, bumping into other people, especially in line, is common and somewhat acceptable.

If for some reason you find yourself on an escalator in TDL, stay to the left if you are not walking up the escalator. It's very rude to clog the "express" ride side of the escalator.

Finally, don't give up your "regular" seat on the monorail to anyone but a pregnant woman or (maybe) a sleeping child. Seniors and handicap people may get insulted. Giving up your seat says, "I think you are weak, inferior, etc." There are designated seats for handicapped/elderly people.

Oh, and one more thing, if you make a request and the cast member hesitates, there are two reasons:

1. He/she doesn't speak English
2. He/she doesn't want to say "no." It's very, very hard for a Japanese person to give you a direct "no." They'll talk around the subject, change the subject, or just smile.

If this happens, give up and find someone else.

[ChrisFL]

Thanks for the insight! :thumbsup2

[voleball]

I agree with corgi monster on all but one.
Yeah, in a way, japanese are wierd. They are super polite, but bumping into others are not considered rude. It's probably they are used to the big crowds and bumping into others is not avoidable. Everytime I go back home, I can't get used to this (being in the U.S. too long.)

Really? I've never seen anyone who gets upset or insulted by being offered for a regular seat (unless they look old but really not)... Is this a Tokyo (or Chiba) thing? Or have I been out of country that long? :confused3

[Sugarglider]

We had a wonderful meal at Magellans - it was our most expensive at about Y9000 per head - but it was in Oct during the TDS Food Festival and we had the special menu. Excellent!
The Oceano breakfast buffet at MiraCosta was expensive with MILES of choices - Asian and Western Y2600
What I really enjoyed was Little Green Men dessert from Tomorrow Land Terrace. 3 Little dumplings with green wrappers and inside was custard - choc, strawb or vanilla - YUMMO:banana:

Same here. I find it (sadly) very uncommon for people to give up a seat to an elderly person both here in the US and in Japan. But I always offer mine, and the reaction in either country is always the same: gratitude.

thanks for the post..
I posted this elsewhere but what are my birthday options at any of the restaurants. Where can a person see menus and pricing for the restaurants at both parks? what are the prices for the buffeterias at the parks?
thanks

[voleball]

Here are things I found through surfing Japanese websites.

Ambassador Hotel restaurants have an "Anniversary Plan" (http://www.disneyhotels.jp/dah/japanese/rest/anniversary.html) (Japanese) for their restaurants.

First one is the Chef Mickey. W/ additional 3,000 yen over buffet price, you get those 3 in the pictures. Cake shaped music box, Original pin and sticker. (Chef Mickey prices (http://www.disneyhotels.jp/dah/english/rest/index.html))

The other two restaurants have gifts when you order anniverary set menu (the cake is only available if you reserve more than 3 days prior).

You need to mention the plan when you reserve.


If you tell it's your child's birthday, CM will give you a birthday sticker with your child's name on it. But comparing to WDW, you may get greeted/congratulated by CMs much less.


Birthday Program is available at below restaurants if you order a whole birthday cake at least one day prior. It will come with birhtday message plate on the dessert with candles and CMs will sing the birthday song for you. When you leave, they will take a picture for you and give it to you with a birthday card with Mickey's message.

TDL (http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/tdl/english/restaurant_search/rest_50list.html): Eastside Cafe, Restaurant Hokusai, Blue Bayou Restaurant

Birthday Program is available at below restaurants if you order a whole birthday cake at least one day prior. It will come with birhtday message plate on the dessert with candles and CMs will sing the birthday song for you. When you leave, they will take a picture for you and give it to you with a birthday card with Mickey's message.


Just realized that this information is pretty old. They may not have the program any more. If interested, you should check with the CM when you call on the reservation line.

Thought I'd add some of the food I took photos of that I didn't see here! This is a great thread for people curious to see the food offered in the parks, I know it can be a big thing for a lot of people. Looking at these photos make me hungry...

This was in DisneySea, pretty simple and extremely tasty and perfect on a HOT and busy Saturday. Italian ice ACTIVATE!

One place we ate at a few times was Plaza Restaurant which is in TomorrowLand. Can you see the spelling error on the menu? heh

This was one meal we had. The bun was incredibly cute and tasty. There's fried chicken and lettuce on it.

Outside of parks. It's in the Ambassador hotel - next to Ikspiari.
