Celebrating Earth Day at Disneyland Resort

April 14, 2023

By Danielle Bautista

Happy Earth Month! What better way to celebrate this month than with a visit to Disneyland Resort? All month long, guests are invited to join in the fun activities and taste all the delicious food available throughout the resort. From mouth-watering dishes to photo opportunities with life-size elephant sculptures, there’s something for everyone to explore.

Good food that’s good for the environment

Did you know that choosing to eat more plant-based foods can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Delicious, plant-based staples can be found all throughout the resort, including at Café Orleans and Blue Bayou, which both offer a delectable plant-based crème brûlée. Over at Disney California Adventure park, Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill offers tasty Tacos Dorados de Papa. This year at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, guests can try new and tasty plant-based dishes at festival marketplace kiosks. Now through April 25, Paradise Garden Grill is offering a fully plant-based menu that includes Bulgogi Fried Rice, Buffalo Mac & Cheese and more!

The plant-based Bulgogi Fried Rice dish offered at Paradise Garden Grill is a tasty favorite of the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

Zero in on Zero Waste

As the resort looks to achieve zero waste to landfill by 2030, guests can do their part by properly disposing of their waste in the respective waste bins. Blue bins for recycling can be found all around the resort – some even have a funnel to empty leftover ice and liquids! By disposing of food scraps in green bins, you are helping to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. Food scraps bins can be found at Hungry Bear Restaurant and Galactic Grill in Disneyland park and Pym Test Kitchen in Disney California Adventure park. Every little action to get waste in the proper place helps.

Reuse, Recycle, Create

Disneyland Resort cast members continue to inspire others by bringing their love of Disney and the environment together by designing unique artwork as part of the annual Environmental Art Challenge. In celebration of Earth Month and the Disney100 celebration, cast members were encouraged to create beautiful pieces of art utilizing waste found in their local work areas ranging from park maps, plastic bottles, bubble wrap and more. All month long, guests are invited to join in the fun and vote on their favorite cast-member-created piece at Stage 17 (located in the patio area near the Super Store featuring Avengers Campus) in Disney California Adventure park.

Simple Tips for Sustainability

Beat the heat and stay hydrated by bringing your reusable bottle! There are over a dozen bottle-filling stations between the theme parks, hotels and Downtown Disney District. Between drinking plenty of water and snacking, don’t forget to pick up your reusable bamboo utensils from any festival marketplace kiosk or most quick service restaurants such as Jolly Holiday Bakery, Red Rose Tavern, and Award Wieners. Lastly, when you’re buying the perfect Disney souvenir, choose a reusable bag over plastic. With four different designs and three sizes, you’ll be shopping till you drop – while saving the planet.

Celebrate Earth with National Geographic

Disneyland Resort and National Geographic are coming together in honor of Earth Month. In the Downtown Disney District, guests can capture photos with life-size elephant sculptures inspired by the new series “Secrets of Elephants.” In addition, on April 22 and 23, chef Kristen Kish from National Geographic’s “Restaurants at the End of the World,” will be hosting a cooking demonstration as part of the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

While Disneyland Resort is celebrating Earth Month in April, we are committed to achieving environmental sustainability all year long. From the solar panels soaking up the sun on Radiator Springs Racers to efforts around decreasing water usage across the resort, Disneyland Resort finds new ways to protect the environment and support a healthier planet. We invite you to join Disneyland Resort in building a brighter, more sustainable future – every simple action can make a difference.
