New Dining Arrives at Disneyland Resort Hotels

The Disneyland Resort continues to expand its culinary offerings with two new eateries at the hotels. Guests can now enjoy laid back tropical flavors at the all-new Palm Breeze Bar nestled within the Villas at Disneyland Hotel or modern comfort food at Great Maple located in the soon-to-be reimagined Paradise Pier Hotel.

These imaginatively themed restaurants transport visitors through décor and menus inspired by vintage Palm Springs lounges and contemporary American cuisine, respectively. With indoor, outdoor, and poolside seating, Palm Breeze Bar is a tranquil retreat that brings the flavors of the islands to Disneyland Hotel. Great Maple’s seasonally-driven dishes combined with Pixar movie theming offer a fresh dining option for guests of the newly rechristened Pixar Place Hotel.
