Tips

  • The fried biscuits stuffed with white cheddar, bacon, and jalapeño are mandatory
  • Want a World of Color package? Those currently run through Wine Country Trattoria and Storytellers Cafe, not Carthay
  • Dressier and quieter than anything else in the park - great escape from crowds
  • Currently a dinner-only restaurant (check available days); the downstairs lounge is the lighter option
  • The Carthay Circle Lounge downstairs takes walk-ins if you miss a reservation

Best for

  • Special occasions
  • Adults
  • Celebration dinners
  • Disney history buffs
