California wine country, seasonal prix fixe
Disneyland Resort (Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, Disneyland Drive), about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the convention center
The flagship dining room of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel reopened in February 2026 after a full renovation, serving a seasonal prix fixe menu of wine country cooking backed by a wine list of more than 1,500 labels. A private dining room and a chef's counter facing the exhibition kitchen make it a strong choice for an important client dinner.
Tip: Book well ahead for the dining room; the bar and lounge takes walk ins and serves a seasonal small bites menu if you only want a drink and something light.

Taiwanese, dumplings and noodles
Downtown Disney District (Disneyland Drive), about a 20 minute walk from the convention center
The Taiwanese dumpling specialist's large standalone restaurant at the west end of Downtown Disney, known for its soup dumplings and noodle dishes. Plates are made for sharing, which makes it an easy, sociable choice for a team dinner.
Tip: It gets busy around park closing times, so reserve ahead; solo diners often have better luck at the bar.

Seafood, casual American
Anaheim GardenWalk (West Katella Avenue), about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the convention center
A lively themed seafood restaurant at GardenWalk, one of the closest sit down options to the convention center halls. The menu leans heavily on shrimp, from coconut shrimp to mixed seafood platters, with an outdoor patio.

Food hall, international
Anaheim Packing District (South Anaheim Boulevard), about a 15 minute drive from the convention center
The city's last surviving citrus packing house, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, houses a busy food hall with stalls ranging from Indian street food at ADYA to fish and chips at Chippy Fish & Grill. It suits a group with mixed tastes, since everyone can pick their own dinner and meet back at the shared tables.
Tip: Monkish Brewing and several other bars sit within the Packing District a few steps away, so it is easy to turn dinner into a team night out.

- Canadian citizens do not normally need a visa or ESTA for a short business visit of this kind

- Under-18s are not allowed in the expo halls or conference rooms, except through the organiser's student programmes
- Hall E opens at 09:30, half an hour before the rest of the expo, which can be a quieter time for early meetings

Insider tips from repeat attendees
