Don’t want to duke it out with the locals for a parade spot hours in advance? Paint the Night is returning for the park’s 70th anniversary, and a dining package might be just your ticket. Beginning on May 16, you can eat lunch at the Plaza Inn, then return later for reserved parade viewing. Paint the Night Dining Packages are $55 for adults and $28 for children ages 3-9. The menu includes:

Choice of one fountain beverage

Kids

Crispy chicken tenders

Plant-based options are available for both adults and kids. (Why is the famous Plaza Inn fried chicken not there? We don’t know.)
