Disney World is an iconic spot for allergic travelers, but what about Disneyland? It doesn’t get as much coverage, and the options aren’t quite as prolific, but Disneyland in Anaheim, California can still be a great dairy-free vacation. This quick guide covers the dairy-free food to look for in each section of Disneyland Park, California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the on-site Disneyland Hotels. We also have a section for Snack Carts to watch for in the Parks.

When Disneyland reopened in 2021, some of their eateries remained closed, and most of their menus were downsized – some dramatically. This has affected the amount of dairy-free and allergy-friendly options available in the parks. The guide below covers the food options available as of the summer of 2021. We will update as we learn about more openings and menu expansions.

Disneyland: Your Dairy-Free Guide to Food & Dining at the Parks

For Disneyland Park and California Adventure we’ve grouped the eateries by theme sections in the parks. Using the map of the parks, we’ve listed these sections clockwise from the entrance – or heading left when you enter the park. If you discover any changes, or find some additional dairy-free options, kindly leave a comment!

Please Note: In many cases, the dairy-free or food allergy-friendly options at Disneyland require special ordering. So always let the staff know what your dietary needs are and if you have a food allergy. Disneyland restaurants have protocols in place for handling allergy orders. Menu items and ingredients are subject to change at any time, and potential cross-contamination with allergens should always be considered a risk in commercial kitchens. The following is a guide for informational purposes. It is intended to help with your planning, but should not replace your own due diligence. Only you can decide what is “safe” for your needs.
