Happy Hour: The Original Magic Hour

[DizMe]

A "Secret Menu" drink at Napa Rose, the Kate and Ella (see info below).

The Kate And Ella (Ketel One Oranje, Aperol, Licor 43. Fresh Lemon Honey Syrup) @ Napa Rose, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

The elegant Napa Rose Restaurant in the Grand Californian Hotel at the Disneyland Resort has a secret cocktail you won’t find on the menu, but can only order by name. Created by the Disney mixologists at the Napa Rose, the “Kate & Ella” (a citrus-y martini-style beverage) is a delicious tribute to some local Anaheim history.In the late 1800s, John and Margaret Rea, and their daughters Kate and Ella, owned and worked a vast walnut farm on land where the hotel and restaurant currently sit. Katella Avenue, which borders the southern edge of the Disneyland Resort, is a combination of the girls’ names. Some fifty years later, Walt Disney purchased a portion of the original Rea ranch land, and today it encompasses a small chunk of Disneyland Park (including the Jungle Cruise “hippo pool”), all of Downtown Disney, nearly half of DCA (River Rapids, Paradise Pier, etc) and the entire Anaheim Convention Center!

If you dine at Napa Rose, raise a glass to Kate & Ella and think of all those beautiful walnut trees that used to grow right where you’re sitting.

The black pearl is so so good, and quite strong!

I probably know the answer to this, but can you not make reservations at Carthay Circle for the lounge? I'd like to do a small plates/drink thing on dapper day, but noticed I couldn't make ressies in dining. I made one for the restaurant as a back up, but I would really just rather stick with the lounge.

Hope I'm not too late here... No ressies at Carthay Lounge. We love the Lounge, admittedly we've always managed to grab seats fairly easily, though later in the evening. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Not too late, thank you for responding! Normally, I wouldn't worry about it, but being Dapper Day, I imagine it will be pretty crowded in there. I have no plans to eat, so I think I'll cancel the ressie and just chance a walk up to lounge.

You can get a drink (Manhattan, martini?) that has an ice diamond instead of the ball to celebrate the 60th. So cool! I read that they melt a lot faster than the ball, though.

Lobster nachos
Fish tacos
