Swipe through the gallery above to see the best Disneyland food (and a few overrated things to skip).

For some adults, the best part of a Disneyland trip isn't always the rides: It's the food.

A decade or two ago, this would be inconceivable for most park-goers. Although a few places (Carnation Cafe, Plaza Inn) had consistently quality food, most park food was pretty standard: overpriced, overly salty hamburger-and-hot-dog-type fare. Things have change dramatically; wisely understanding that savvy travelers want good, creative food, Disneyland has sunk a ton of time and energy into crafting unique menus.

The result is a frequently changing array of food options. And although things are still overpriced — it is a theme park, after all — for people prioritizing their food experience, Disneyland is a much-improved culinary destination.
