The restaurant

Carthay Circle is a dinner restaurant upstairs in the re-created 1920s movie palace at the end of Buena Vista Street.

The place

The building copies the Carthay Circle Theatre, where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937. Inside are Art Deco details, Snow White animation cels like the ones Walt kept at home, and a Snow White scene painted on the ceiling. Some tables are on open-air terraces above Buena Vista Street. The menu is seasonal California cooking, and a lounge downstairs serves cocktails.

History

The original theater opened in Los Angeles in 1926 and was torn down in 1969. Disney's slightly smaller version opened with Buena Vista Street on June 15, 2012.

What to order

  • The signature thick-cut pork chop
  • White cheddar Parker House rolls for the table
  • Whatever is seasonal; the menu changes through the year

Good to know

  • It serves dinner only and needs same-day California Adventure admission.
  • Cancel at least two hours ahead to avoid a $10-per-person no-show fee.
