White Waters Snacks is a little hidden gem at the Grand Californian Resort. Located past the resorts DCA park entrance and past the Spa it serves as the pools snack bar and a great place to have a quick breakfast or lunch.

You can eat inside or out on a long patio. This craftsman themed eatery is probably the quietest place in the whole resort. I visited right before the parks opening and (as you can see) few were there.


You can order from a fixed menu that will be brought out to you when ready and they also have grab-and-go cold cases with fruit, yogurt, pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, a pastry bar, and cold and hot drink stations.

I ordered a Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich with egg, bacon, cheese. It came with some very large grapes on the side. This sandwich was really, really big. So big, I could only eat half! The biscuit almost overwhelmed the egg, bacon, and cheese. I put some jelly on it for a final touch and in the end, found it to be a most satisfying breakfast. Bottom line: I really recommend this place for an easy breakfast, lunch, or snack, during your next visit to DCA and the Grand Californian.


This is one of the best and most cost effective restaurants on property. The Steak Nachos are SUPERB!

What a well done review! Yes White Water Snacks is a great option, particularly on crowded days.
It’s so good I went back again this week!
