Disneyland might be the Happiest Place on Earth for families, but for your wallet? Not so much. And while I wholeheartedly believe that a trip to Disneyland Resort is worth every penny, I also happen to believe that it’s not only smart, but fun to find Anaheim restaurants near Disneyland that have great food and an even better vibe. Not that there’s anything wrong with dining on character-shaped grilled cheese, pizza, and corn dogs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; it's just that dining outside the park before or after your adventure may be a calmer, cheaper, tastier way to go.

Anaheim is overflowing with family-friendly restaurants that serve up everything from award-winning dumplings to burritos that could be three meals, pizza with a side of arcade games, and much more. That’s why this list of spots that are either within walking or driving distance from Disneyland Resort is worth its weight in gold. It’ll give you variety on your vacation and let you save that extra cash for more Dole Whips.
