Restaurant near Disneyland

Hello,

I am looking for a restaurant near Disneyland for dinner for 8-10 adults. Need to make reservations and keep it around $20 per person out the door. I wanted to go to Naples Ristorante at Downtown Disney to dine outside and watch the fireworks but some in the group thought it too expensive. Can anyone help?

I used to live in the area and see that my favorite restaurant in college, Angelo's & Vinci's is still there. However some in my group think it's a bit far. I'm starting to think about going to Sonic.

It sure can be a challenging trying to find something everyone can live with! Thanks for your help.

With that many people in the party not everyone is going to be happy about the decision on where to go. Everyone will live with the decision. It's not life and death where you eat for dinner. If there is someone that is making to big of a deal about where to eat then they need to grow up or maybe stay home. Plus 90% of all the restaurants in Anaheim should have choices on the menu for under 20 bucks. Hell, even Beverly Hills has that.

I agree with Casey~you can't make everyone happy, so go with the majority. I can't make any recommendations~the last time I was at Disneyland was about 6 years ago, and my ex-husband and kids wanted to eat only at McDonald's. YUK!

Yes, it is a tall order. We decided on Naples but when I called to make the reservation learned they have a very convoluted system because they are at Disney. It's owned by the Patina group so I expected one could make a reservation for a specific time. Not so depending on the size of the party. You have to book through Disney Dining and it's "priority seating" rather than an honest reservation. At least the person I spoke with provided suggestions as to how we can work with this system.

It is going to be hard to do. Does everyone have Disney park tickets? If so I would work on a restaurant in Epcot. $20 out the door will be hard unless it's a chain restaurant if you're looking for a little more upscale.

There's also a Cheesecake Factory on International Drive I believe.

Maybe there is a nice Japanese/Sushi restaurant close by so people can choose the price of their dinner.

travelinwifey: The OP is asking about Disneyland (Anaheim, CA), not Disney World (Orlando, FL).

I would stick with Downtown Disney, if possible. They've got a Rainforest Cafe (lots to choose from), and ESPN Zone (good burgers). Tortilla Jo's is decent, but may not have enough to make everyone happy.
