Carthay Circle is one of the signature restaurants at the Disneyland Resort, featuring an elegant atmosphere inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood. The restaurant is inspired by the original Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, where Walt Disney’s first feature-length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, premiered in 1937. This is one of the top Mickey Visit Disneyland restaurants due to its atmosphere and quality of food.
The decor of the restaurant features Disney artifacts and references and glamorous design details, like chandeliers and a painting of the pastoral scene from the Snow White film on the ceiling of the main dining room. There are two dining locations in the Carthay Circle building, the main Carthay Circle Restaurant on the second floor and the Carthay Circle Lounge on the first floor. The restaurant offers a full menu, while the lounge offers light bites and drinks.
