Disneyland visitors can get reserved viewing for the returning Paint the Night parade with a new dining package at one of the park's top restaurants.
Reservations open next week - on March 25 - for the Paint the Night Dining Package at Plaza Inn. This is a late lunch set meal that comes with admission to a reserved viewing location for that night's first performance of Paint the Night.
The adult meal ($55) includes meatloaf with mushroom gravy, a baby wedge salad, pea-pureed-topped mashed potatoes, herbed carrots, a Paint the Night-themed dessert, and a fountain drink. The kids meal ($28, for ages 3-9) includes chicken tenders, mac & cheese, baby carrots, apple sauce, a dinner roll, a Paint the Night-themed dessert, and a fountain drink. A plant-based alternative will be available, as well, but Disney has not yet said what that will be.
You must reserve a time between 1pm and 4pm to pick up your meal, which will include vouchers for the Paint the Night reserved viewing area. The dining package will be available daily from May 16 to August 21, with the exceptions of June 14 to 16, June 18, July 4, and August 17, when it will not be offered. No refunds if they parade is canceled.
Reservations open March 25 on the Disneyland website.

That's a pretty standard price for Disney character buffets now. Have you not done one recently VelocicoasterFan? Prices have gone up pretty dramatically in the past 5 years, so that $62 price is in the expected range. FWIW, Cinderella's Royal Table is up to $88 for adults and $52 for kids (3-9) - I distinctly remember the last time we did MK's most iconic dinner @10 years ago, it cost $47 for adults and $27 for kids.
Mickey's gotta pay Scrooge McDuck's outrageous banking fees somehow.
Actually, no, I haven't done a character buffet for as long as I remember. Don't get me wrong, it's gotta have some appeal, but I personally see no reason to go to what is basically golden corral with a mickey impersonator inside.
