Parkside Market: The Most Delicious Detour in Downtown Disney

Once upon a Monorail ride, in a corner of Downtown Disney where carts full of Minnie ears give way to sleek lines and skyline views, a magical new dining destination has appeared. It's not a ride. It's not a character meet-and-greet. But it is an adventure-one served with sizzling flavors, icy drinks, and a rooftop sparkle that just might rival Sleeping Beauty Castle at sunset.

Welcome to Parkside Market, a mid-century modern food hall where retro vibes and Disney dreams collide-deliciously. If you're an early bird, stop by at 7 am to fuel up before rope drop, grab a bite between kingdoms, or unwind with a cocktail after a day of "Happiest Place on Earth" enchantment. This dining hotspot will seamlessly fit right into your fairytale and be your new go-to Disney dining favorite!

Parkside Market is easy to get to from the Downtown Disney Monorail station.

Located next to the Downtown Disney Monorail station on the west end of the district, Parkside Market offers super-easy access for guests arriving via the Simba Lot, Pixar Place Hotel, or the pedestrian bridges from Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals parking. It's the perfect pit stop before or after a day at Disneyland or California Adventure.

By the way, Parkside Market truly is the ultimate secret weapon for savvy Disney adventurers craving something fresh without wandering far from the magic. Sure, the iconic turkey leg, churros, Dole Whip, and Mickey-shaped pretzels are timeless Disney staples-but when you're ready for a flavorful twist, this market delivers. With comforting sandwiches, healthy salads, global-inspired bowls, frothy lattes, pastries, and grab-and-go bites, there's something here for every kind of craving.

The rooftop gem may look like a sleek lounge, but it's got a splash of Disney whimsy.

And just when you think it couldn't get better-head upstairs to Vista Parkside Market, an al fresco rooftop oasis with bird's-eye views, handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, and a laid-back vibe that's ideal for sipping in the shade or catching a golden-hour glow. This rooftop lounge doesn't just elevate your meal-it levels up your whole Disney day.

From sunrise sips to twilight treats, Parkside Market lets you create your own Disney dining adventure with four crave-worthy spots-all in one stylish, stress-free space. Open daily until 11 p.m., it's your go-to for flavor-packed finds without ever straying far from the pixie-dusted magic.

Early risers can start their day at Sip & Sonder (opens bright and early at 7 a.m.) We highly recommend this as your first stop because who couldn't use a coffee with some soul? This Black women-owned café-hailed by the L.A. Times as one of the best in the city-delivers rich espresso, slushies with personality, and pastries that taste like pure magic. Try their iced chai or lavender tea latte for a calm moment, or go bold with The Monarch, a butterfly pea flower coconut slushie that's as refreshing as it is Insta-worthy. Don't skip the cookies & cream cinnamon roll. Trust us!!

When the clock strikes 11, the rest of the market joins the party. Seoul Sister serves up Korean-Californian fusion with build-your-own bibimbap bowls. Choose your base-rice, Japchae noodles, or greens-and layer on bold proteins like bulgogi beef, crispy pork belly, or tofu. Even kids can build their own mini bowls, making this a win for every kind of eater in your crew.

GG's Chicken Shop is a Midwest favorite with roots in Chicago, brought to life by James Beard Award winners Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm and Michelin-starred Chef Lee Wolen. Named after Wolen's mom, Geri, this spot serves golden-fried chicken sandwiches, loaded waffle fries, and house-made sauces. It's a family-friendly flavor fest that hits like a warm hug-if your hug came with crispy chicken, tangy slaw, and a well-earned break after a whirlwind day of rides, laughs, and castle selfies.

Vista Parkside Market, the rooftop gem, may look like a sleek lounge, but it's got a splash of Disney whimsy. Try the Flamboyance Frosé, a frozen rosé cocktail served in a flamingo-shaped glass that practically flutters with fabulousness-bright, bold, and impossible not to smile at.

Prefer a zero-proof pour? Mocktails here are next-level, with a curated menu of non-alcoholic wines, spirit-free cocktails, and frozen lemonades that keep the whole family feeling festive. Grab a shareable snack, find your perfect perch, and watch the sky light up over the parks. It's pure Disney magic-with a twist of lime.

Parkside Market is the plot twist your Disney day didn't know it needed. You came for churros and characters-but now you're sipping a frosé on a rooftop, nibbling on bibimbap, and wondering why no one told you about this place sooner.

It's perfect for families, friends, and even solo adventurers-anyone who loves a good meal with a side of atmosphere. And since it's just steps from the Monorail, you can pop in between park visits or linger longer as the sun sets on your Disney day.
