Hey Disney friends, you know how much I love finding those little extras that can turn a Disney vacation into something even more memorable, and oh my goodness, this one has definitely caught my attention! Paseo in the Downtown Disney District is hosting Un Paseo de Mariscos: Chef Collaboration Dinner on Friday, October 9th, 2026, at 6:30 PM, and this is not your everyday dinner reservation. The evening is limited to just 50 guests, creating a wonderfully intimate setting for what sounds like a very special culinary experience. I don’t know about you, but I can absolutely imagine adding this to a Disneyland vacation itinerary and giving myself something delicious to look forward to after a day in the parks!
Now, this is certainly a splurge, with tickets priced at $236 per person, but there are times when making an evening feel like an occasion is exactly what we want from a Disney trip. And of course, you don’t have to be visiting from out of town to enjoy it. For my local Anaheim friends, this could be a lovely excuse to head over to Downtown Disney and enjoy a completely different kind of Disneyland Resort evening. I am always a fan of experiences that give us a reason to slow down, sit back, and enjoy ourselves, rather than rushing from one attraction to the next. Let’s take a look at the details:
