Disneyland Resort is home to many great restaurants, but few are as refined as Napa Rose.

🌹 Located at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, it’s one of the finest dining experiences Disney offers. Technically, this was my second-to-last dining experience at Disneyland Resort (I still haven’t done 21 Royal which is the most expensive dining experience, though it’s not actually a restaurant).

🥀 Napa Rose offers exceptional service, with every server also trained as a sommelier. Finding the perfect wine pairing for your meal is a breeze, and the recommendations we received were excellent. The prix fixe menu starts at $188 per person and does not include wine. You’ll enjoy an amuse-bouche, first, second, and third courses, an entrée, and dessert. It’s a lot of food, but everything is beautifully presented. Every dish was flavorful and served at just the right temperature. The desserts were especially impressive—some of the best we’ve had! The pricing shown includes two prix fixe meals, two drinks per person, tax, and gratuity.

🍽️ While we had a fantastic experience, I still think Carthay Circle in Disney California Adventure offers the best value for signature dining at the Disneyland Resort.

🌹 Napa Rose reopened earlier this year with a refreshed dining room and cozy seating. Reservations are usually required, though the lounge is walk-up only. The recommended dress code is smart casual or semi-formal attire, so leave the theme park clothes and sandals behind.

Universal Mega Movie Summer is here, and it’s bringing some of the biggest franchises to life all season long! Get ready for character encounters, themed treats, exclusive collectibles, special entertainment, and more inspired by favorites like Jaws, Fast & Furious, Minions, Wicked, Jurassic World, and beyond. If you’re a movie fan, this is one summer celebration you won’t want to miss!

🦈 Jaws is making a huge splash with themed food offerings at Mel’s Diner, including returning favorites like the Shark Bait Burger, Lobster Roll, Fish & Chicken Basket, and Amity Island Funnel Cake. Studio Scoops is also debuting a Hello Kitty Jaws Blueberry Cheesecake Sundae, while new Jaws-inspired collectibles, apparel, accessories, and a Loungefly crossbody bag arrive throughout the resort.

The fun extends to Universal CityWalk Hollywood with a massive 34-foot Trojan Horse from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey, Fast & Furious-inspired food and drinks at NBC Sports Grill & Brew and Antojitos Cocina Mexicana, Jaws-themed bites at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, and playful Minions & Monsters doughnuts at Voodoo Doughnut
