I am so happy we found this place, it is our new favorite spot in DCA! You do have to be a pass holder to eat here. We came on a Wednesday around 5:30pm. You have to have a reservation, but you can add your name to the waitlist through the app and a table was ready right away! We got a focaccia pizza and the scallop risotto (I'm not sure if this is a seasonal item but I hope it is here to stay because it was amazing). Both the pizza and risotto were items I am going to crave until I can come back! Truly great food and reasonable prices for a sit-down restaurant within Disney. Felt like a hidden gem to us! Landan was our server and he was so nice and attentive, along with everyone else who brought out our drinks and food! Our table overlooked DCA, which was just a nice and wonderful view/atmosphere. Great food, vibes, and service! So pleasantly surprised with this place and we will be back! read more

We decided to go to the Magic Key Terrace as it's exclusive to magic key holders and we wanted to see how the food was! We read a couple of reviews on Yelp and saw some online that were pretty mixed, so we had no idea what to expect. Inside is really pretty and we were seated on the side, so we got a good view of DCA! It was fairly empty when we went (around a late lunch/early dinner). Our server was incredibly kind throughout our meal and very attentive. The food was okay, it lacked a lot of salt/flavor in general. We got the Osso Bucco which was soft, but veering on almost over cooked. It was pretty oily naturally and then combined with the cream base, the only acid was the herb mixture on top. We also got the Milanese which was HUGE! Definitely plan to split this one. It was good, but also needed some salt, paired with the noodles. Overall, I'm not sure I would visit this one again with all the other options in the park! read more

Decent restaurant with great intimate private atmosphere for Magic Key Holders, and accommodating/friendly service! My friends and I thought we'd give it a go since one of them was a Magic Key Terrace, we went around 3:30P and was lucky to be seated next to the view overlooking San Fransokyo. The watermelon drink I got was a bit artificial/too sweet, but tasted a bit more balance after the ice melted. I recommended the gnocchi with extra sauce, and my friends got the pork masala. The only thing I probably wouldn't get again is the charcuterie board, unless you want to feel classy and pair it with the wine they offer. Cost is surprisingly fair for Disney prices. Nice place, but I might still stick with Lamplight Lounge for more variety! read more

Always a great place to go have a quick sit down or even a nice meal. We had appetizers and drinks this time around. The staff is always amazing. I can say we never really have a bad experience.

Came here with friends and the food is a little hit or miss. Fondutta 2/5 Sausage is hard (i think it's supposed to be but we don't like it) Potato amazing love it Bread standard Cheese isn't great. After awhile it's just cold and weird Focaccia 5/5 Kids love it. Both dips are great. Gnocchi 4/5 Very filling. Sauce is great. Osso Buco 3.75/5 Meat was tender. Polenta is a bit bland Broccolini nicely cooked. Overall it was a decent meal. On the expensive side. Location is quite beautiful. CMs at check in were rather brusque. Not sure why. read more

Treated myself to a magic key this year! Let me tell you the lounge is so beautiful and it is elevated so you get a nice breeze and view. We got the drinks to cool down The sunset Paloma was a refreshing watermelon drink with a salt rim. The strawberry peach cocktail was a nice blend on strawberry and peach with a sugar rim. Loved our time here definitely must if you're in Cali and have a magic key! read more

Magic Key Terrace - Magic Key Holder Dining - Sunset Paloma. Strawberry-Peach Cocktail - Wine Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

Service was disappointing--they automatically ask for a 25% tip, but all they really do is bring out the food. The environment is just okay--feels outdated and a bit worn. Food-wise, the fonduta and linguine were the highlights. The menu is pretty limited, but overall not bad. The Mickey Mouse key holder isn't anything special, so you're not missing out there. There are a lot of high-top seats, so if you're bringing a kid, definitely request a regular table. Also, make sure you make a reservation in advance. read more

I finally got to enjoy a afternoon snack at Magic Key Terrace while Disney's California Adventure was celebrating the Lunar New Year, which turned out to be a great experience overall! I was able to continue using my Magic Key on the last day as I chose not to renew it as I don't have any RunDisney races coming up in a couple of years because of the Disneyland Forward project. Getting a chance to try out the Magic Key Terrace felt like a treat and I had never eaten off the menu there before! We ordered some small plates to eat together as we would be looking at the Lunar New Year food stands as well. Our location was perfect! We had a spot that overlooked the pathway to the Pixar Pier. This let us watch the parade from the Magic Key Terrace! The first item we had was the Fonduta, a mixture of smoked mozzarella, fontina cheese, cream, roasted garlic, with crostini, roasted potatoes, and chorizo foccacia. It was very good. Next we tried the Arancini and that ended up being my favorite item of the meal. I thought the risotto balls were perfectly cooked with a crispy outside and cheesy center! Every bite was satisfying and paired well with the small bites we had ordered. The Butternut Squash was a unique flavor and scrumptious! The Heimlich Chew Chew Juice that I drank was a non-alcoholic beverage made from lemonade, Minute Maid, Granny Smith apple syrup, and fresh watermelon juice. The Heimlich Chew Chew Juice was nice and cold and really helped bring down the richness of the foods we were eating. Our dining experience at Magic Key Terrace was nice and enjoyable. The menu appetizers lends itself well to be eaten by sharing it around the table with others, so it would be a good way to go about trying new things on your trip to the park, and the outdoor seating area offers a nice place to relax while taking in the view of Disney California Adventure! I thought the arancini was my favorite dish that we ate, however everything we tried was delicious and I will keep it in mind for all my trips to Disney in California! read more

This is the spot that our friends put together for my fiancé's birthday. It's got a great view of Pixar pier, and the surrounding area. Since our friends had magic keys, they got us in as guest to try out appetizers and drinks. We shared the Focaccia with two house butters and the Fonduta with potatoes, Spanish chorizo, sourdough crostini, and a blended cream The service was good and the seating was comfortable. I really enjoyed the ambiance this place had. They surprised my fiancée with a cake in the shape of Mickey Mouse. I thought that was pretty cool. It was cute and tasted good. read more

Wonderful experience at this beautiful restaurant that overlooks Disney California Adventure. The food and drinks were delicious. Everyone in my party enjoyed their dishes. The linguine was cooked perfectly and came with a bright citrus sauce. Paired beautifully with the pinot grigio. I was in heaven. My friends got the gnocchi. It looks small in photos, but in person it was a huge fulfilling portion. My friends got the pork milanese. The outside was crunchy and the inside was juicy. The service was extremely attentive. The staff checked in on us very frequently during our meal and all were very polite. It was funny because one guy kept asking to clear our dishes multiple times but we weren't done eating yet. I appreciate that the table was ready at our reservation time. This is the only Disneyland restaurant we experienced this at. One more thing I appreciate is the fancy ambiance. One side overlooks the park while the other side has a huge beautiful painting with peacock and bougainvillea. read more

I was so excited to try this spot as you can only go as a magic key holder. The view was great as you can see the tops of Cars land. However with a reservation for my husband's birthday our table was not ready until half an hour after our set time and we checked in early so a lot of our Disney day felt like waiting for this reservation. The food was just alright, but Disneyland and California Adventure has tons of other options that are way better for the price. Our waiter was super nice though and the service was great! read more

Seated promptly. Didn't get a table with a view though. Sat at a booth with two pull up chairs. Service was good. Got the world of color package. Mint julep. 7/10. Free refills was good. Salad. 3/10. Seemed like the baggage lettuce and the croutons were not fresh. Orchiette 5/10 was ok. Flavor was fine but it was barely warm. Had a cake for dessert so they gave us ice cream.

We tried the Magic Key Terrace connected to Wine Country Trattoria. It has special magic key offerings which is neat. We tried the roasted half chicken and clam pasta or Linguine alle Vongole. The linguine was al dente and delicious!!! I wish the clam were bigger but still good. As for the roasted chicken my friend said it was even juicier than the chicken at Plaza Inn which says a lot. The Heimlich Chew Chew drink comes with fresh watermelon and is tasty. Service was also excellent. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu!!! read more

Perfect place to grab a bite & drinks while away from the crowds. This is exclusive to Magic Key holders. Located next to / above the Wine Country Trattoria at DCA. Love the foccacia with house-made butters. For entrees we love the osso buco and the bucatini. They had flat breads on the menu before but my guess is the menu is switched every so often. This place is known for all their signature cocktails, wines, and beer. Lesson learned, must specify NON-ALCOHOLIC Mint Julep when ordering. Because I got 2 and it was so good I gulped it down so fast... world was spinning and looked like a tomato the rest of the night. It was the cocktail Mint Julep. Good food. Great service. Definitely a great place to hang & rest. And there's shade! Reservations highly recommended. read more

A few months after becoming Magic Key owners we finally decided to book a dinner at Magic Key Terrace with the World of Color dining package. It's a pretty sweet deal. You have to order from a pre-fixe menu (starting, entree, dessert, and non alcoholic bevvy) that costs $73 but you get preferred seating for World of Color which was definitely worth it this time of year as we got to see the new Lunar New Year pre-show! So cute! As for the dining experience, we loved the food but the service was a little meh. I got the Cesar and it was delicious, I'm honestly such a fan of all the salads here so far, but the waitress forgot to bring silverware so I was just sitting there until she came back to check on us. For my entree, I got the gnocchi alla vodka and it was delish! So creamy. It is a bit spicy so be warned. For dessert, they only have one option: the Spumoni cake. This was pretty solid! Very pretty with all of the layers. I'd definitely try this again, it's a nice spot to get off your feet for a while and enjoy a decent sit down meal. read more

I had low expectations going here since Disney restaurant food is typically overpriced food with average taste. However, I'm happy to report the spicy vodka gnocchi alone was worth the visit. It was perfectly al dente and the sauce was creamy with a slight kick that coated every crevice of the pasta. The bucatini alle vongole was also cooked well but too lemon-forward in flavor. There was a decent amount of seafood though so I would say it was worth the price. Since the magic key discount applies, the meal was pretty affordable considering it was Disney and we left pretty full. The customer service was pretty good all throughout our meal. We didn't have a reservation when we arrived and we were seated within 10 minutes on a Saturday. read more

Magic Key Terrace is such a perfect spot to unwind and relax with a great meal--especially for Magic Key holders. My husband and I really enjoy coming here, and pretty much everything we've eaten so far, we've loved. The drinks can be hit or miss, but since it's a full bar, you can always ask for something off-menu or have them make a classic. That flexibility definitely helps. I also appreciate that the menu changes each season. It keeps things interesting and makes us want to come back a bit more. Overall, Magic Key Terrace is one of our favorite places to take a break and enjoy good food in a calm atmosphere. Highly recommend for fellow Magic Key holders! read more

In all my visits to DCA, I'd never even thought to check availability to dine at the Magic Key Terrace. It wasn't until my friend - one I hadn't seen in almost three years and who is no longer a Key Holder herself - mentioned this as a spot to sit down to talk over drinks that I looked into it, and got us added to the walk-up list. The wait wasn't bad, less than 30 minutes, and we were able to sit a bit on some of the benches below. I got three texts in total: one to confirm we were on the list, one to tell us we had about 15 minutes left in our wait time, and one to say our table was ready and that we had 10 minutes to check in. Check in was quick and easy, they just verify your name and check your pass before inviting you to walk up the stairs to get your table. The second check-in desk provides menus (which are different from what you can get at the dining room below) and your table. We had a high table on the railing, with a nice view of the park (and the rain, it started pouring halfway through our meal, but we were covered, if not warm.) The chairs were *super* high, and for the vertically-challenged out there, can be an interesting hurdle. Our waitress, Sam, was friendly and welcoming, answering my friend's allergy-related questions and providing recommendations. On Sam's recommendation, we ordered the Avalon Cooler ($20.75) and the Amalfi Sunset Paloma ($19) to sip on while we considered. Both drinks were good - and very pink - but I preferred the less sweet Paloma. For our meals, my friend ordered the gluten-free Roasted Half Chicken ($34) and I went with the Orecchiette ($24). It didn't take long for the food to come out, piping hot and ready for consumption. The orecchiette were perfectly cooked, if a bit too stuck-together (I blame the cup shape of the pasta for that, they tended to stack and stick together.) I did enjoy the flavor of the dish, with the rich sauce and various vegetables: broccolini, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and onions. It was filling and quite tasty. My friend made short work of her chicken, which was served with mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts. The only negative thing she had to say about the dish was that the sprouts had an off flavor - she compared the flavor to wet cardboard - but she did say the chicken and potatoes were very good. We were able to take our time chatting, eating and sipping, the staff never making us feel like we had to move, get up or clear out. I appreciate that most, because we did have a lot catching up to do. read more

Had reservations for two. Walked up to the restaurant to check in and was told that checkin was downstairs. It was confusing because checkin downstairs is for a different restaurant but come to find out it was for both. No signs posted anywhere. They need to clarify this. Once we checked in, we were ready to get seated upstairs. The host sat us outside which was cold. Luckily they had outdoor heaters. Order a flight aprol spritzers and cocktail. Appetizers of meat and cheese. For main dishes, ordered Seafood pasta and Pork with pasta. Received our meat and cheese platter, the restaurant added more cheese because they ran out or meats. Hmmm? The cheese plate was rather tasty! Honey and pistachios. As our appetizer was served, we were still waiting for our drinks and waters. We received our drinks 20 mins after. Unacceptable! Receieved our main dishes. All was very tasty!. No complaints on that. The price you are paying doesn't do justice for the amount being served. Feeling unsatisfied do quantity given. Overall, had a good time. Good vibe overviewing the scenic landscape of Disney California. I would do this again when it is warmer. Experience was good, just ok. Thank goodness we get 20% off for being a magic key season pass holder. :) Our service could of been better. Laura did an ok job. She could of checked up on us when our food was served. Like if we need anything else. We had to ask for another server to give us salt and pepper. Laura showed up in the end when we were close to finishing our meals. Yes, you are busy but would be courteous to check up on your tables once in awhile. Our table had the slowest service out of the rest of the tables in the patio area. All were getting their drinks and Food first even though we were seated first. :( I would dine here again. Food and drinks were delicious! Ambiance was ok, just cold. This place would be awesome when the weather is warm. Just a few flaws from making this dining experience great. :) Happiest place on Earth running out of meats for the chucuterie board was bizzare.

Magic Key Terrace's new menu is really good! This is a unique location at Disney California Adventure, where you need someone with a Disneyland Magic Key annual pass to make a reservation. While it's not as prestigious as Club 33 or 1901 Lounge, it's a neat perk for passholders. You also get a great view of California Adventure, since this is on the second floor. PROPS: Chill place to get a bite with a great view SLOPS: Historically the menu is pretty limited, and we'll see what the future holds for his restaurant. read more

To be honest, we weren't expecting much from magic key terrace. We just wanted to go once before our key expires to see what it's like. We were so pleasantly surprised! The weather was perfect for sitting at the balcony's edge. We got a nice breeze and view of the park. The food was great and larger portions than I expected! Very tasty! The cocktail was a little sweet and light on the alcohol but still tasty. I don't think I'll order cocktails again though. Our server was kind and didn't rush us so we could fully enjoy our time (we went at a non busy time). A great spot to stop by! read more

Magic Key Terrace - Magic Key Holder Dining - Pork Milanese Al Marsala Strawberry-Peach Cocktail Linguine Alle Vongole - Wine Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

This was our first visit in a long time. Reservations are suggested but definitely not required. We have been able to do walk ins plenty of times and tonight was not an exception. This was an Oogie Boogie night so we wanted to relax before the event. It is located upstairs, but here is an elevator. This is a casual ambiance with different views depending on where you sit. There are restrooms upstairs. Their menu changes by seasons and we have gotten to try multiple items. The charcuterie board is probably our favourite because of its consistency and variety. Their food is usually ok, not great. The Trattoria downstairs is for sure better. On this instance we had the arancini and were definitely disappointed, we should've gone with our charcuterie. They do offer multiple expensive cute looking drinks and mocktails. We typically order a bottle of wine. Overall it is like most Disney restaurants in their price and ambiance. I would not say it's a "special" experience. read more

The aperol spritz flight was a great way to try a few flavors. Again, the ambiance here is great because you get to overlook the park while you relax. Don't forget to make a reservation!! read more

The Baseline: For a sit down Dining experience establishment the food flavors must represent the theme of the environment, there must be unique offerings to the restaurant based on the theme, and the experience must be immersive to the theme park experience. Food: Great meal at DCA! For starters the Fonduta was meat/bread/potatoes with a gooey cheese mix that was awesome to start out the meal. Along with my Millionaire's Manhattan (cinnamon boozey joy of a drink) it made for a great start. The Panzanella salad was a great fresh add to the meal as my family ate family style off the plate. Following this was the Oslo Buco with a tender fall off the shank pork over a creamy bed of polenta made for a delisious dish. The Bucatini Alle Vongole was a great pasta dish with well steamed clams (not my favorite but it was still good). Overall this new menu is "Top Notch, Top Mouse"! Service: Disney Cast members providing the best service. Evelyn was a great waitress and she got a Cast Compliment from me (use the app for the cast members)! Ambiance: This is the Magic Key Holders Disney Private club (the poor Disney-ite's Club 33). It has a very Tuscan feel to the terrace and if you have a Magic Key this is worth the dining experience. read more

We started off strong with tasty soup and salad. Both pasta entrees were olive garden quality. Service is great and ambiance is nice. We enjoyed the quiet environment and felt like a retreat from the crowds. I think the soup and salad were fine, but we had low expectations already knowing Disney's food is subpar for the prices. Our expectations were pretty much met. The taste did not meet restaurant quality rather more still tasted like theme park quality. read more

*Disney California Adventure reservation required to dine here. At least one member of your party needs to have a Magic Key to dine. A great place to dine for those looking to escape the crowds inside the park. It's located on the second floor above Wine Country Trattoria and provides a good view of the park. You can make a reservation ahead of time or join their walk up list depending on availability. They have higher end food options and the portion sizes are decent. The Bucatini Alle Vongole had a bright lemon flavor and was packed with clams (both in the shell and out of the shell. The Pork Milanese Al Marsala came in a very large portion. However, the pork was over-seasoned for my taste and the angel hair on the bottom was on the mushy side. The Hazelnut Affogato Cocktail was supposed to come with chocolate sauce, but they didn't tell me that they were out of it until after it arrived. The cast member gave me chocolate from her personal stash, which was very sweet. I just wish I had known and then I would have ordered it on another day. I recommend this as a relaxing place to eat if you are able to go. I will note that you do pay for the ambiance and the price is a little bit higher. But the view is nice, you're separated from the rest of the park, and it has its own restroom. read more

There are pros but maybe slightly more cons to this spot and I'm hoping on my next visit there are changes because I heard the new menu is great. First the pros: - private area for Magic Key holders to dine - can be great to relax during a parade and decent viewing from the right seating area - cocktails are solid, prices not bad - cast members are always helpful and offer great service! Cons: - food is mid. Carthay and Lamplight are much better - I was bummed when Carthay got rid of their cheese board so I was excited to try their charcuterie and cheese selection - came out pretty but the quality was subpar. Think items you can get at your grocery deli and not the fancy ones read more

Our first time dining here. Looking at the menu, it didn't seem that enticing. But we wanted to try and let me tell ya it was a good experience. What made our day was Quiana, our server. She was so sweet, genuine, and really excels with customer service. We got: meats and cheeses (3/5) good but a little basic! osso buco (5/5) -- SO GOOD! Really tender meat. Garlicky polenta was so savoryyyyyy. Broccolini was a nice touch of greens. A little escape away from Disney. So grateful to be a magic key holder! read more

I'm a brand new Magic Key Holder (out of state) and booked a 3:30 meal for after my half marathon in the morning. My friend & I had a great experience. Our server was attentive, friendly, and great. The terrace is fully covered but open to the outside. They also have MK exclusive merch available for purchase. We ordered the Fonduta to start, which ended up coming out a few minutes after our entrees. The mix of cheeses were delicious, as well as the chorizo slices, toasted sourdough, and potatoes. We had some pretty good cheese pulls! I ordered the Almafi Sunset Paloma and it was so refreshing! Highly recommend. My friend tried mine and ended up getting her own to go. She ordered the 5...4...3...2...1 originally. I also ordered the n/a Heimlich Chew Chew Juice to go which was rather sweet. I ordered the gnocchi for my main and enjoyed them. The spicy vodka sauce had a bit of a kick and the gnocchi were my preferred texture. read more

Magic Key Terrace is accessible to those with Magic Key annual passes. If you don't have a pass, ask a friend who does to invite you. I've been fortunate to visit this spot a few times. If you need a place to relax and get away from all the Disney madness, it's worth a visit. Located on the second floor above Mendocino Terrace, it feels like a restaurant lounge. Our most recent visit was during the release of the new menu (08/17/25). We made reservations for an early lunch slot. Our table was ready within a few minutes after checking in. The Terrace was a bit hectic today, so props to the staff. Many guests were as excited as we were to try the new items here, which hadn't changed in a few years. We looked over the menus and ordered a few drinks and an appetizer to start. We enjoyed the Lime Thyme and Mint Julep Cocktail; both were refreshing. One in our party had a Hazelnut Affogato Dessert Cocktail for dessert, which they said was good, too. For food, we had a mix of items, all of which were delicious and satisfying. No leftovers were claimed. We ordered the Arancini, Panzanella, Roast Half Chicken, and the Bucatini Alle Vongole. Serving size won't leave you feeling a food coma. The amount was just right for me, but those with bigger appetites may feel underwhelmed. We had a couple of kids (5 and under) in our group, and they enjoyed their Cheese Pizza and Slider meals, which came with fruit, veggies, yogurt, and a drink. They cleaned their plates also. Overall, it was another pleasant experience, and our server was kind and attentive. The food and drinks come out promptly despite a busy lunch. Lastly, the high prices reflect the Disney resorts, which is no longer surprising. Terrace is still an enjoyable treat occasionally. read more

I'm really disappointed with our experience at Magic Key Terrace. Our party of 6 had a reservation at 5:10 PM on a Sunday, but despite arriving on time, we weren't seated for about 35 minutes. This was especially frustrating because we had another scheduled commitment afterward. The situation felt very disorganized from the start. There appeared to be only one server and just two people managing the front desk, which made things feel chaotic and understaffed. When we asked for an update, we were told there weren't many tables that could accommodate a party of six--but that's something that should be managed better when accepting reservations of that size. To make matters worse, when we were finally taken to our table, the manager told us to "walk up slowly," and when we got there, the table and the area underneath had not been cleaned--it was visibly dirty. That was extremely disappointing and unacceptable. We didn't even order any food. Overall, the lack of organization, long wait despite a reservation, and cleanliness issues really impacted our experience. I expected much better. We weren't greeted by our server and we ended up leaving since it was a horrible experience. It needs to be improved. Hopefully. read more

Magic is definitely not in the air at the Magic Key Terrace. For a key holder exclusive place, my expectations were definitely much higher than what I got. You only need one person in your party with a magic key to dine here. We came on a Sunday evening, and the place wasn't really packed (which should have been telling). We were seated in the back corner away from most of the other parties, which made us feel like we got missed/forgotten throughout our visit. Service was painfully slow. To get drinks, to get food, to get a server's attention, all of this took the whole gang's effort. Our server herself was sweet and even tried to jump into one our group selfies, but just the turnaround time for things was not it. Food wasn't anything special either, but I think we gobbled it up since we were hungry after waiting for so long. The only plate I can recommend is the Route 66 Fried Chicken. This isn't your typical breaded fried chicken but is a fried Cornish hen. The meat inside was juicy and tender, and the potatoes served on the side are delectable. Everything else was decent, just not worth the price. I did enjoy a glass of their Riesling though, but you can also just wine downstairs at Wine Trattoria. I don't have much to say for this one other than the service really ruined our experience. I would have much rather gotten a quick eat somewhere else in the park, but at least I can say I've tried it and used a magic key perk. Lamplight Lounge may be a better alternative if you're looking for full service dining in the park. read more
