Location
Broken Spell Lounge is located inside the Disneyland Hotel along the restaurant corridor, directly adjacent to Goofy’s Kitchen. It’s easily accessible whether you’re staying at the hotel or walking over from Downtown Disney.
- A pre-dinner cocktail before Goofy’s Kitchen
- A relaxing nightcap after fireworks
- A break from the crowds without leaving the Disney bubble
If you’re staying onsite, it’s an effortless addition to your evening. If you’re staying offsite using military-discounted tickets, it’s still just a short walk from the Downtown Disney security entrance.
Ambiance
The vibe here leans modern and polished, but not stuffy. It’s themed around magical mixology — subtle nods to spells, potions, and enchantment without tying itself to a specific character or franchise.
- Warm lighting
- Contemporary lounge seating
- A stylish central bar
- A quieter atmosphere compared to the parks
Unlike the high-energy character dining next door, this space feels intentionally grown-up.
✨ Immersive Disney-Inspired Theme: Broken Spell Lounge celebrates magical stories, potions, and mixology, with décor and drink names that reference spells, secrets, and fantasy lore without being tied to any one character or franchise.
🍹 Creative Cocktails & Mocktails: Expect gorgeous presentations, imaginative combos (think unexpected fruit, herbs, and playful theatrics), and a menu that changes seasonally.
🥪 Shareable Bites: Alongside drinks you’ll find elevated small plates like charcuterie, sliders, and more refined bar bites — perfect for sharing.
🎶 Chill, Stylish Ambiance: The lounge strikes a balance between elegant and relaxed, making it ideal for a first drink before dinner, a nightcap after the parks, or an adult night out during your Disneyland Resort trip.
Drink Menu
Broken Spell Lounge focuses on handcrafted cocktails with creative flavor combinations and elevated presentation.
- Signature seasonal cocktails
- Classic cocktails with a twist
- Premium spirits
- Wine and craft beer selections
- Zero-proof mocktails
If you enjoy trying something unique, ask your server about seasonal features — limited-time offerings are often the most memorable.
Food Menu
The lounge offers a selection of small plates and shareable bites designed to pair well with cocktails.
- Artisan cheese or charcuterie-style boards
- Elevated bar snacks
- Shareable appetizers
- Light handheld options
This isn’t a full sit-down dinner location, but it’s absolutely enough for a relaxed evening snack or light meal.
We highly recommend the Truffle Fries and Wings!
Hours & When to Visit
Hours can fluctuate based on crowd levels and hotel operations, but generally:
-
Afternoons through Late Night: Broken Spell typically opens in the late afternoon and stays open into the evening.
-
Best Times:
-
Early Evening (5–6:30pm): Great for pre-dinner drinks with fewer crowds.
-
Post-Park Close: A relaxing way to cap off a full day in the parks.
-
Because this is a popular spot — especially on weekends — consider arriving slightly earlier in the evening or asking your server about quieter timeframes.
Reservations
Seating is first-come, first-served. On busier nights — especially weekends or during peak travel seasons — there may be a short wait.
Final Thoughts
Broken Spell Lounge is a refined pocket of calm inside one of Disney’s most energetic resorts. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just enjoying a quiet moment during your Disneyland vacation, it’s a wonderful way to slow down and savor the trip.
