This Is My Go-To Meal When I’m Looking for Fast and Easy Food at Disneyland

While it's always nice to be able to enjoy a sit-down meal or have a firm plan for dining at Disneyland, sometimes there are days when you are playing it by ear and just want the most convenient meal possible. We have been in this situation plenty of times, and thankfully there are some great options that are fast and easy without compromising quality.

If you're feeling like a more casual quick-service meal, there is a plethora of amazing options around the parks to choose from. Many of our favorite foods at Disneyland come from quick-service locations, including our go-to meal when we're looking for something quick and convenient to order. If you're getting close to the date of your Disneyland trip and more in the mood for a table-service meal, see our list of the 5 easiest-to-book Disneyland restaurants that actually have good food and our top 5 tips for getting Disneyland dining reservations.

We will share with you our favorite easy meal that we will often gravitate towards at Disneyland. This fan-favorite offering is seasonal, but when it's on the menu, it's always one of the most appealing options at the park!

Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe Go-To Meal

We always love eating at Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe whenever we can, and there's a good reason why it earns a high spot on your list of the best Disneyland restaurants ranked. This charming restaurant is Mary Poppins-themed and has a Victorian-style garden patio situated right on Main Street U.S.A. near the hub of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Its central location can't be beat—it's one of the most convenient spots to grab an easy meal whether you are about to cross into another land or are heading up or down Main Street.

Jolly Holiday offers a selection of several foods like sandwiches, pastries, breakfast items, treats, and more. This restaurant has one of the best selections of seasonal items every time there is a special event running like Halloween, Christmas, etc. One of the items that you can get year-round is the Jolly Holiday Combo, which is a toasted cheese sandwich with a bowl of tomato basil soup. However, we like to create our own version of the Jolly Holiday Combo when the Beef Birria Toasted Cheese is on the menu.

This seasonal sandwich is undoubtedly one of the best foods at Disneyland and has received rave reviews from visitors. It is not always on the menu, but when it is, it's a great option for lunch or dinner. The Beef Birria Toasted Cheese is a heavenly combo of pepper jack, onion, cilantro, and salsa verde on Sourdough bread that comes with Consommé. We like to get it with a side of the Tomato Basil Soup for a nice flavor contrast. I'm personally not a huge tomato soup fan, but there's something about the Jolly Holiday soup that is so delicious.

On a recent visit to Disneyland, I introduced my dad to the Beef Birria Toasted Cheese for the first time, and he proclaimed that this was one of the best things he'd ever eaten at Disneyland. This is definitely high praise, as we have been visiting Disneyland for years since the time I was small!

If you do decide to order the Beef Birria Toasted Cheese, I would recommend mobile ordering it on the Disneyland app as soon as you know what time you want to eat so you can get your desired return window. Jolly Holiday is a very popular location and depending crowds and on the time of year, mobile order windows can be pushed back earlier than other locations.
