Snacking Is the Plan
At Tokyo Disneyland, we never sat down for a proper meal. We just snacked our way around the park, and honestly, the snacks are half the fun. Here’s everything we ate, in order.
Breakfast in the Queue
Breakfast was onigiri from NewDays (the convenience store in the JR stations), eaten while sitting on the ground at the gates at 7:30am. Pork shio-kalbi and shrimp mayo. Not glamorous, but it did the job.
Fried Chicken at the Cowboy Cookhouse
Our first real snack was at the Cowboy Cookhouse in Westernland, around 10am: fried chicken, served in a paper cone so you can eat it while walking. Then a churro, about 20 minutes later. Because why not.
Little Green Men Mochi
The famous one. In Tomorrowland, they sell mochi shaped like the three-eyed aliens from Toy Story, three in a cup. Each one has a different filling, and they’re so cute you feel a bit bad eating them. We felt bad for about two seconds.
Popcorn
You can’t do Disneyland without popcorn. We got a box while waiting for the afternoon parade.
Toontown Spring Rolls
Back in Toontown in the afternoon, we had spring rolls in Mickey sleeves, one in each flavour. Crispy outside, hot inside, and very easy to eat on the move.
Beef and Cheesy Mashed Potato Cone
And for dinner, if you can call it that: a waffle cone filled with gyu-kalbi beef and topped with cheesy mashed potatoes, so it looks just like an ice cream cone. ¥500. It was cold by then, and having something hot that looked like ice cream was very satisfying.
Fuelled up, we were ready for the Electrical Parade and the fireworks!
Information About Tokyo Disneyland
Snacks are about ¥400–¥600 each, and the menus change with the seasons. The alien mochi sell out on busy days, so get them early.
PS: Outside food isn't allowed inside the park, so we ate our station onigiri in the queue at the gates.
