Lamplight Lounge Review

Read Now

On our recent trip to Disneyland, my husband and I were lucky the new Lamplight Lounge in the new Pixar Pier. We had a 7:00 pm reservation so it was already getting dark and all the lights of the park were shining bright! We checked in and our table was not quite ready. The cast member informed us that they would send a text message when it was, and we would have 10 minutes from the text to return. This was great, and we took advantage of not being tied to the restaurant to check out Knick Knacks across the pier.
