Food & Drink Guide to Plaza de la Familia at Disney California Adventure

In celebration of the everlasting bonds of family, Disneyland Resort welcomes back the joyous Plaza de la Familia cultural experience to Disney California Adventure Park from Sept. 1 through Nov. 2, 2023.

Paradise Garden Grill, along with other locations at Disneyland Resort, will be serving up sweet and savory delights that will let you travel through your taste buds with cuisines inspired by some of the cultures that celebrate Día de los Muertos. With the new Chile Verde Chicken Flautas and return of the adorably delicious Horchata Cheesecake, and even some special “Coco”-inspired novelties like the Coco Souvenir Sipper, you’re going to want to check out this exciting event.
