Carthay Circle Restaurant World of Color Dinning Package at Disney California Adventure

Carthay Circle Restaurant World of Color Dinning Package at Disney California Adventure

The menu

You get a full-service, 3-course (starter, entrée and dessert) meal from a pre-fixed menu during lunch or dinner. We chose to have dinner, which is a little bit more expensive but in my opinion you get great food for the price.
The menu also includes a non-alcoholic beverage.

Since you only get to choose between a soup or a salad as an appetizer (starter), we decided to upgrade for extra $6 dollars for the Ceviche of Citrus-marinated Cobia (Avocado, tomatillo essence with plantain chips)

For the main course I chose the Grilled Angus Beef Ribeye (Cheesy Fingerling Potatoes, Green Garlic Chimichurri). The meat was really tender and tasty. I was considering getting the lamb, but it felt like a steak kind of day.

When it was turn for something sweet, since I love salted caramel, the choice was easy. Jivara Chocolate Salted Caramel Hazelnut Crunch (Sweet cocoa nibs, Cordillera chocolate sauce). It was the perfect ending for the meal.

My friend chose the Tangy Citrus Cheesecake accented with Yuzu (Strawberry-rhubarb sauce, macadamia nut crust) and although it was really good, I am glad i choose the salted caramel option.

Your meal comes with non-alcoholic drinks, but the Carthay Circle Restaurant does have a great selection of alcoholic drinks. Surprisingly we did not order any this time.

The restaurant

On a child-free Disneyland visit, my friend and I decided to splurge a little and book the Carthay Circle Restaurant World of Color Dinning Package at Disney California Adventure. The atmosphere was great. Once you enter Carthay Circle you get an Old Hollywood feeling with dark hard woods, black and white photos, relaxed environment and glamour decoration. The restaurant is inspired by the old Carthay Circle Theater, where Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937.

Talking to our very friendly waitress, we learned that there are some "private" rooms where you can dine with your friends. You need to reserve for the smaller ones, and for the big one, a minimum of $1000 consumption is required, but it seats 12 people, so it is doable. Maybe a great idea for a birthday celebration with friends.

Reserved Spot for the World of Color Show

After you are done with your meal, you get a pass for the reserved seating at the World of Color Show. Although the paper say to get there around 8:30 pm, my recommendation would be to get there a little earlier. The reserved seating area spots are first come, first serve and you might get stuck behind someone told that might block your view.
​
In my opinion the area for the show is not the best. You still have a lot of people in front of you and the only advantage would be not to have to get there 2 hours prior the show. But if you want a front row, no one in front of you where you can see the water show better, you are better off with trying to get there early and get a spot.

In general the whole experience was really cool. The food was good and we were able to have a good spot for the show without waiting in line for a couple of hours. 

Is it worth the money? It is a little bit overpriced, but it is Disneyland after all. 
Would I do it again? I would like to try the menus at other restaurants. I might do it for lunch so the cost is less.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, what a great experience. The colors, the lights, the food - the DISNEY! Looks and sounds like you had a fantastic time.

I haven't been to Disneyland so I appreciated your review of the Carthay Restaurant. Sounds like an interesting idea. I hate waiting in line for anything so this just might be worth it for me.

WE went to Disneyland last year. We only got to explore California Adventure a bit. I am hoping that we can really focus on getting back to Disney and really enjoy the California adventure park again. Great option for the dining package too. will have to check that out next time.

Wow I would love to do this but also not sure it would be in my budget. But given the chance I would likely splurge to be able to see the show! I love your suggestion to try other restaurants at lunch time so that the prices aren't quite so high.

Wow, what an awesome place to visit. The food makes you want to say, omg! The Carthay Circle Restaurant sounds like a great place to visit. Heck, I need to head to Disney soon, everything looks so awesome.

Looks like a lot of fun. I want to visit Disney in Florida when my little ones are older. What exactly is the world of color show? Are there performers?

What a fun experience! I'd not only love to go to Disney, but if I ever do, I'm going to look up this restaurant. I'd order the crispy risotto for a main and have a few bits of cheesecake off of my husband's plate. To top it off a color show?! Good for you .. I'm so glad you had a great time x

This seems like a fantastic experience. When we do come to Disneyland, we've already made up our mind to splurge a bit, so if the experience is as good at it sounds, wouldn't mind paying a bit more to get a better experience.

I can't imagine taking a Disney trip without the kiddos. I'm a bit envious now. I would definitely go to this restaurant. Everything looks absolutely delicious.

Great review, and thanks for the total honestly. The food did look great, especially that ceviche (great call on the upgrade). I am going to consider this next time we are in California with our niece :)
