At a glance

Critter Corral is a takeout food kiosk in Frontierland, in Disneyland Park. The building started out as a pen for miniature animals designed to look like a Wild West ranch. It has since been turned into a place to eat, while keeping its original rustic look.

The menu centers on afternoon snacks and drinks: coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate, tea, sodas, and fruit juices.

What sets it apart

Savanna snacks in the Wild West. Tucked at the far end of Frontierland, this former pen for miniature animals still has its raw-wood ranch architecture. Now turned into a refreshment kiosk, it sells sweet treats and cold drinks themed to the movie The Lion King. It’s a great place for a quick break.

My verdict

Julie
Julie ★★★☆☆ 200+ visits since 2023

Critter Corral is a little Lion King themed kiosk in Frontierland that focuses on afternoon snack combos and drinks. What it has going for it is that sweet break with a fun themed menu.

I’ve eaten here a few times and the snack is decent, for around €12, but I find it a bit too far back in the land. You’ll only find snacks and drinks, and its out-of-the-way location makes it easy to forget. The Lion King themed menu is still a nice little bonus. It’s mostly a place to grab something when you need it.

I’d recommend it for a quick afternoon snack if you happen to be nearby. It’s less worth it if you don’t want to go out of your way just for a snack.

Your questions about this restaurant

01 Where can you find cheap eats in the Disneyland Paris parks?

To keep costs down, stick to the quick-service counters rated €. Casey’s Corner serves hot dogs on Main Street, Café Hyperion offers burgers and nuggets in Discoveryland, Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost has pizza by the slice in Adventureland, and Cowboy Cookout Barbecue in Frontierland is still a good deal. Over at Disney Adventure World, Stark Factory and Super Diner remain affordable. Tip: Mobile Order in the app also lets you order at some counters without waiting in line. And for a little snack, a waffle, churros, or ice cream for €5-10 hits the spot.

02 Do Disney restaurants have kids’ menus?

Yes, nearly every Disneyland Paris restaurant has a child price (ages 3-11). At the all-you-can-eat buffets, kids pay about half price: €25 at Agrabah Café, €25 at Cape Cod, €20 at La Cantina. Classic table-service restaurants also have a kids’ menu with a kid-friendly appetizer, main course, and dessert. At the quick-service counters, you’ll find kids’ menus that include a drink and a dessert. You can ask for a high chair when you book, using the "special request" field.

03 Are there vegetarian and vegan options at Disneyland Paris restaurants?

Yes, a growing number of Disneyland Paris restaurants have vegetarian and vegan choices. In Frontierland, Lucky Nugget Saloon offers an entirely vegan menu, and over in Fantasyland, Toad Hall Restaurant serves breaded plant-based crispy bites that are very good. Most of the other table-service restaurants and buffets list at least one vegetarian dish. Simple buffets such as Agrabah Café or Cape Cod have meatless options too. For the full picture, get my free file by email, which gathers the menus of every Disneyland Paris restaurant: you can check the veggie options ahead of your visit.

04 Where should you go for an afternoon treat or a small bite in the parks?

The parks are packed with kiosks and snack stands for when hunger strikes. On the sweet side, there’s Cookie Kitchen on Main Street U.S.A., March Hare Refreshments in Fantasyland, waffle and churro stands all over, and roaming popcorn and ice cream carts. On the savory side, the hot dogs at Casey’s Corner. Plan on €5-10 per snack. Quick tip: some stands sell reusable collectible popcorn buckets that make fun souvenirs and get you discounted refills all day long.

05 What does a meal at Disneyland Paris cost?

It depends a lot on the kind of restaurant. Roughly speaking (prices change over time), budget around €15-25 per adult at a quick-service spot (€), €30-50 at a standard table-service restaurant (€€), and €60 or more at premium buffets and signature restaurants (€€€ and €€€€). Some real examples: the Agrabah Café buffet costs €45 for adults / €25 for kids, Cape Cod €45 / €25, La Cantina €35 / €20. Character dining like Auberge de Cendrillon runs €60-95 per adult. Snacks such as ice cream, waffles, or churros cost €5-10. Treat these ranges as estimates and check each restaurant’s menu for the exact price.
