Main Street Restaurants
Restaurants:
Carnation Cafe. After the 1997 rehab, the Carnation restaurant reopened with reduced indoor seating and a smaller outdoor patio. Most significantly, it had a new menu, one without the famous "Matterhorn Sundae" and other favorite ice cream treats. It remains table-service, however, and the portions are enormous. Originally sponsored by Carnation, Disneyland now "loans" the name from the Carnation company.
Location
Halfway up Main Street, on the west side, you will find the outdoor terrace and entrance to the Carnation Cafe.

Plaza Inn. From 1955 until 1965, it was actually called the Red Wagon Inn. One of the premiere buffeterias at Disneyland, the PI serves traditional American fare. Sponsored by Columbian Coffee Growers.
Beginning January 1999, the Plaza Inn will be transformed into "Scramble Service" like Redd Rockett's Pizza Port and will no longer be a buffeteria. The good news is that the decor will remain posh and largely untouched in deference to Walt, who helped design the PI at the beginning. Another bonus: lines will soon be much faster at this facility. And they will be keeping some menu items, as well as importing some from the Plaza Pavilion. The bad news: it will likely be deemed fast-food, more or less, and thus not qualify for Annual Passport or Magic Kingdom Club discounts.
Location
The Plaza Inn is located on the border between Main Street and Tomorrowland, and is usually the last buffeteria in Disneyland to close.
Menu Items
Main Street Breakfast Special - $8.49 - 3 scrambled eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, small juice, cookie. Character breakfast is served only when Disneyland opens at 8:00 a.m.

Plaza Pavilion. The Plaza Pavilion is the other buffeteria at the end of Main Street, specializing in pastas. Unfortunately, it's often not open for business unless it's a very busy day. In fact, the odds are good that the Pavilion might never reopen its doors. Sponsored by Contadina.
Location
Sitting between Main Street and Adventureland, the Pavilion building and kitchen is actually much larger than you would think. The Tahitian Terrace/Aladdin's Oasis, as well as the Tiki Room show building, all share a common roof with the Pavilion - have a look at that roof sometime to see how the Main Street theming segues into the Adventureland theming.

Town Square Cafe (Extinct). When Disneyland opened in 1955, this was the Maxwell House Coffee House, and by 1958 it had become the Hills Brothers Coffee House. That was destined to change, and by 1978 it was replaced with the American Egg House. In 1983, and until its closure in 1993, the restaurant, which was full service and specialized in breakfast, was known as the Town Square Cafe.
Location
The Town Square Cafe was located near the current home of the Disney Showcase, roughly in the neighborhood of Mr. Lincoln's Opera House.
Counter-Service:
Refreshment Corner. Once called Coke Corner, this fast-food operation opens early and closes very late, to the ragtime piano performance of Rod Miller. Sponsored by Coca-Cola.
Location
Coke Corner is located at the very end of Main Street, adjacent to the Plaza Pavilion. At Disneyland's closing time, it's hard to miss, as it's the only food location still open.
Menu Items
Hot Dog Meal - $5.25 - includes potato chips and soda.
Hot Dog - $2.99
Mickey Mouse Pretzel - $2.00
Mickey Mouse Pretzel with cheese - $2.50

Blue Ribbon Bakery. A 1990 addition to Main Street, the Bakery serves breakfast items and can have quite a line in the early morning, particularly if Main Street is open before the rest of Disneyland. Sponsored by Nestle Toll House.
Location The Bakery is currently located between the Carnation Cafe and the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor on the west side of Main Street. In the mornings, with the big crowd there, it's difficult to miss.

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. Originally, this location was the Puffin Bakery, until it became the Sunkist Citrus House in 1960. In 1990, the Blue Ribbon Bakery took its place, but that moved down the street in 1997 (where it remains today) to make room for the newly created Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. Sponsored by Nestle Ice Cream.
Location
Halfway up Main Street on the west side, the Gibson Girl parlor can be difficult to spot. It's next to the Carnation Cafe and Blue Ribbon Bakery.

Little Red Wagon. The inspiration for the Plaza Inn's first moniker, the Wagon has such a limited menu yet always seems to attract people for its wonderful corn dogs.
Location
The Little Red Wagon is located between the Plaza Inn and the rest of Main Street - that would be on the east side of Main Street.
Menu Items
Hand Dipped Corn Dog - $3.75
Potato Chips - $.95
Main Street Fruit Cart. The first fruit cart visible on your trip into Disneyland remains for many the most visible. I believe this location is not open for business during parades.
Location
Halfway up Main Street on the east side, and just opposite the Carnation Cafe.
Menu Items
Individual Fruit - $1.25 - grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, or watermelon slices.
Pickle - $1.75
Mickey Mouse Corn Chips - $3.25
Main Street Cone Shop. Seldom open unless crowds are heavy and the weather is hot, the Cone Shop is difficult to find, but worthwhile if you're seeking a quick fix for your ice cream obsession.
Location
Next to the Main Street Lockers, the Cone Shop can be found halfway up Main Street on the east side.
Menu Items
Sliced Apples with Caramel - $1.85
Single Cone - $1.95 - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate chip, fantasia, orange sherbet.
