Fact-File Location: Hotel Santa Fe Type of restaurant: Buffet Service Cost: 30 euro for an adult with a soft drink and 18 euro for a child. This restaurant is on the Hotel (Santa Fe only) and the Standard meal plan.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No. I couldn't review Chuck Wagon Cafe  without also having a look at La Cantina  could I? Think about it, they are both buffets, both the official restaurants at a value hotel and are both 20 minutes away from the Disney parks.  So what do I think of La Cantina ? Well La Cantina  in some ways shares some of the same problems of the hotel that houses it. It's cheap. Both pricewise, well for Disney standards anyway and presentation. Whether it's the iconic #PlasticPlates that are a regular topic of conversation when one discusses Santa Fe to the average effort of presentation of the food. It always has a small element that whips you out of the Disney experience, a reason I ranked Sant...

Fact-File Location: Hotel Cheyenne.  Type of restaurant: Buffet Service Cost: 30 euro for an adult with a soft drink and 17 euro for a child. This restaurant is also on the Hotel (guests at Hotel Cheyenne only) and Standard level of the meal plan.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No. If you plan to stay at the Hotel Cheyenne, you will be well acquainted with the Chuck Wagon Cafe, the home to your buffet breakfast (if you have chosen to add breakfast or paid for your meal plan) and most likely a place you'll stop off at arrival. The million dollar question then becomes if this place is worth the 20 minute trek from the main Disney parks and if so, why.  Picture Source: Disneyland Paris The easiest way to describe Chuck Wagon Cafe  is a buffet version of Cowboy Cookout Barbecue . Your hot protein items are going to be along the likes of whole chicken legs, BBQ ribs and sausages, all of which are beautifully cooked and full of ...

Fact File Location: Disneyland Park/Adventure Land Type of restaurant: Buffet Service Cost: 33 euro for an adult with a drink and 18 euro for a child. This restaurant is also on the Standard level of the meal plan.   Option to reserve a table: Yes. Character Dining: No I briefly mentioned Agrabah Cafe  during my Plaza Gardens  review. So it was only a matter of time before it got its own separate review.  Themed around the iconic Disney film Aladdin , Agrabah Cafe  is the most themed buffet restaurant in Disneyland Paris. From the carpets hanging above your tables to the market stalls that hold your food. A visit to this restaurant is a must for your eyes alone because it is absolutely beautiful.  According to the Disney Tourist Blog , the theming is due to the restaurant originally being a sub-land within Adventureland to tie the middle eastern theming into the park. I would highly recommend reading their review because I found this...

Fact-File Location: Walt Disney Studios Park Type of Resturant: Buffet service Cost: 33 euro for an adult buffet with a soft drink and 18 euro for a child's buffet with a soft drink. This restaurant is also on the standard level of the meal plan. Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No. Restaurant des Stars  is to Walt Disney Studios, what Plaza Gardens  is to Disneyland Park. Both of them are on the standard meal plan, they both are very popular and they both are buffet restaurants. So are there any differences?  Yes. For starters, I personally think that the theming here is done slightly better than it's Disneyland Park counterpart. Why? Mainly because of the little details, such as caricatures of famous film stars and little movie boards which are dotted around the restaurants. This combined with the traditional beauty shared by Plaza Gardens means I can't help but smile where I go to dine here.  Think of Art Deco Hollywood ...

Important note: The following information is correct as of the 7th November 2018. Disneyland Paris may change this at any point and the blog may be updated to achieve this. If in doubt, double check the Disneyland Paris website.  I thought that I would start this food blog with a basic explanation of how the meal plans work. This is for many reasons. They work VERY  differently to their American counterparts.  At the time of writing, Disney Holidays have a deal with a free full board meal plan.  I have had experience with the meal plans before. What is a meal plan? A meal plan is an option where you can pay for your food in advance and then enjoy eating when you arrive at Disneyland Paris. They are really good because they allow you to budget food in advance so that you can enjoy spending your hard earned euros on nice things like Disney plushies. So how do the plans work? You can choose 3 different catering options: Breakfast: You can eat bre...
