The Kingdom Konsultant team had the pleasure of being invited to the Disneyland Resort for agent training recently, and the first night the whole group was there, we went to Carthay Circle for dinner. The restaurant is a model of the famed Carthay Circle Theater, where Snow White debuted in 1937. The restaurant is elegant and beautiful, but not pretentious. They are used to people in theme park attire.
We had trouble securing a reservation for 18, but we were able to get 3 smaller reservations and the restaurant was accommodating to seat us at tables next to each other. We had beautiful tables on the balcony overlooking Disney California Adventure and a dazzling sunset.
Some of us ordered entrees, some ordered appetizers but mostly we ordered a lot of things to share! Every table tried the Warm Cheddar Parker House Rolls, which were served with Calabrian Chili-Pine Nut Romesco Butter. These were delicious, and the butter was the real star.

Between all of us, I believe we covered trying most of the menu. Some favorites included the Spanish Yukon Potato Croquettes, the Crispy Gochujang Fried Shrimp, the Citrus Marinated Sustainable Fish Ceviche, the Ginger-Lemongrass Grilled Free Range Chicken and the Signature Thick Cut Pork Chop. One thing all the tables agreed on and ordered with no consulting each other beforehand--the Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes!
Appetizers range from $14-$26 and entrees range from $46-$52.
