Disney has shared a sneak peek on the enjoyable meals coming to 2 “new” eating spots within the reimagined Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland. This publish shares pictures of the menu gadgets, a breakdown of the place these are positioned, Mobile Order particulars, and added commentary.
As beforehand reported, Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland reopens on March 19, 2023. The land was initially scheduled to return 11 days earlier, on March 8. However, because of development delays attributable to winter storms, it has been delayed. (The climate has solely gotten worse because the resolution was made to push again the reopening, so right here’s hoping Toontown makes the March 19 opening date!)
Along with the reimagined land, there are new tasty treats and two “new” eating areas in Toontown: Café Daisy and Good Boy Grocers. Let’s dig into what’ll be on the menus at each of those areas, the place they’re positioned, what they substitute, and extra…

Next door to Good Boy Grocers is the rethemed Café Daisy, a quick-service window serving up diner classics. This was beforehand a really comparable walk-up window referred to as Daisy’s Diner that served the identical varieties of stereotypical theme park fare. It truly seems that Café Daisy is likely to be bigger than its predecessor–not less than on the within–because the ice cream window that was beforehand to the best of it’s gone.
According to Disney, Café Daisy is the go-to spot in Mickey’s Toontown for scrumptious eats and good firm. Café Daisy is the consolation meals restaurant “where the food is fresh, and the service is friendly.” Enjoy diner favorites served up with a smile—together with mouth watering all-beef scorching canine, tacky pizzas and healthful backyard wraps. If you’re a child, you’re in luck, as a result of Daisy Duck has give you one thing particular. Take your choose between a kid-sized pizza, fun-sized corn canine or mini mac and cheese.
Café Daisy will supply each a walk-up window for ordering upon arrival and cellular order pick-up window. Now let’s check out what’s on the brand new menu at Café Daisy in Mickey’s Toontown…
There are fairly a number of dishes Daisy has put collectively for adults. The Daisy’s Dressed-up Dog options an all-beef foot-long scorching canine, chili-cheese sauce, mac & cheese, and parmesan potato crispies with house-made chips.
For these searching for an easier scorching canine, The Daisy Dog is an all-beef foot-long scorching canine with house-made chips and provides you the choice of including on some chili-cheese sauce.

You’ll additionally have the ability to select between a small DASANI water or Minute Maid Juice Box. If you need to improve your outing much more, you too can get a Perfect Picnic Blanket to go along with your basket.
In phrases of commentary, let’s begin with the Perfect Picnic Basket & Blanket. Given all the inexperienced house within the reimagined Toontown, I believe this can be a incredible concept. Or slightly, the kernel of a incredible concept. Doing takeaway picnic baskets is sensible, and turning them into novelty gadgets is a pleasant contact for many who need that.
Filling them with solely snacks and making their main focus be the souvenirs is what loses me. This needs to be just like the Hungry Bear On-The-Go Package, which presents up takeaway meals that may be loved elsewhere within the park. Do that at these spots, however with precise meals of substance. Due to the seating state of affairs, that’s already how friends are going to do meals at Café Daisy, so why not make it simpler for them…and promote picnic basket bundles within the course of?
My solely quibble is that the meals isn’t cute. Disney has began recognizing the “importance” of photogenic meals, however that has principally been through colourful drinks and desserts. (Unfortunately, lots of these don’t style superb and are loaded with synthetic colours and flavors.) There’s an entire untapped market of adorably-shaped meals that each look enjoyable and style incredible.
This is a minor criticism, however ever since seeing how Tokyo Disneyland turned its equally odd walk-up window in Toontown into one thing particular (and extremely in style), I’ve wished one thing comparable at Disneyland. For a have a look at all the lovely meals there–a few of that are surprisingly scrumptious, too–see our Huey, Dewey & Louie’s Good Time Cafe Review.
As for the menu at Café Daisy, I’m intrigued by the distinctive scorching canine and pizza flop-overs. We solely ever ate at Daisy’s Diner twice (again in my overzealous ‘completionist’ days of desirous to assessment each single Disney restaurant in every single place), and it was nothing particular. Very odd theme park delicacies. I wouldn’t even name it one of many worst eating places in Disneyland as a result of it didn’t aspire to be an actual restaurant.
Ultimately, Café Daisy will simply surpass its predecessor based mostly on the menu revealed up to now. If it manages to have a standout menu merchandise or two, it’ll be an enormous win for Toontown, and additional cement this as turning into a bona fide land that may maintain its personal towards the remainder of Disneyland. The Perfect Picnic Basket & Blanket concept is sensible, and I actually hope this idea is given room to evolve. Meal time on the family-friendly eating places in Disneyland might be crowded and chaotic, and a Perfect Picnic may very well be the excellent antidote to that. All in all, we’re very excited to expertise the reimagined Mickey’s Toontown!
