One of the TOP restaurants in the city and unique, in that it's an Alsace Lorraine (a piece of land that has been at different times, German and French) menu. Their food is scrumptious, the design/decor is beautiful, and they hire veterans. They don't own a can opener, they make their own ketchup, mustard, pickles, Cola, and more. Great place!!
The only negative is parking can be a little difficult, so take Lyft.

Entertainment & Activities
Iconic and worth it!
P.S. Go early... before the park opens... and get in a ride line before the official "opening time". The longest ride line to avoid and the best one to make use of during this pre-opening time: Indiana Jones Adventure.
Also, the best days to hit up Disneyland: lightly rainy days!
