The Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese from Cozy Cone Motel ranks high on our list if we're talking about excellent on-the-go snacks at Disney California Adventure Park. Enjoy mouthfuls of creamy and cheesy macaroni mixed with roasted bacon tucked in a nice and warm bread cone. Isn’t that convenient? They even have beef or vegetarian chilli options if you wanna spice it up.

6. Flo’s Famous Fried Chicken
Is fried chicken your definition of comfort food? Well, don't hesitate to feel at home at Flo's V8 Cafe when you get your hands on Flo's Famous Fried Chicken.

Watch out for the huge serving—it's enough to fill your tank and keep you fuelled for the whole day. Or better share it with someone!

7. Lobster Nachos
If there's one food hype we stand by, that's the Lobster Nachos at Lamplight Lounge! If you're visiting Disney California Adventure Park with your best mates, make you share a plate of this for lunch. Warm lobster, black beans, gooey cheese sauce, shredded cheese, chipotle crema, and sliced chillies—what else can you ask for?
#KlookTip: reservations are highly recommended cos Lamplight Lounge books out quickly! Make sure you book your table before you visit so you don't miss out on these lobster nachos!

You can get this one with lemon-lime foam or the all-natural lemonade with wild berry foam—the choice is up to you! It’s the perfect partner to the bacon mac ‘n’ cheese (they’re served at the same spot!), or level it up by adding vodka when you order.

10. Karl Strauss
Wanna get boozy while at Disney California Adventure Park? Check out the little food truck at Pacific Wharf that serves Karl Strauss beer…on tap!

11. Minnie Mouse Kitchen Sink
No, this is not an actual kitchen sink, but the Minnie (or Mickey) Mouse Kitchen Sink is still large enough for sharing. You get one when you buy a three-scoop sundae at Clarabelle's, where they top it with whipped cream, chocolate chips, and cookies. Plus, you get to keep the sink as a souvenir.
Where to find it: Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
12. Ghirardelli Sundaes
Can't get enough ice cream at Disney California Adventure Park? Visit the Ghirardelli shop inside and have one of the best ice cream concoctions you'll ever have. Our favourite? The Brownie Sundae that comes with caramel sauce, sea salt, hot fudge, and vanilla ice cream! It's a major sugar rush, but it's worth it.
