My daughter and I shared a corn dog, and Lays, here for the first time today. Only took over 45 years!
We got there just after 11 and they had just opened. There wasn't a line yet. Ordering is easy since there is a very limited menu. Corn dog, chips, and drinks.You place your order with a cast member at the rear of the truck and then move to the pick up window in the truck. Ours was ready before we got there. You get a small bag of Lays or a small bag of sliced apples with your dog. You can upgrade to a "large" bag of chips-Nacho Doritos or Cheetos for $1.25 more, total $10.75 we opted for the Lays. I realized afterwards that we could have gotten just the corn dog for less money. Oh well, next time.
There's a small amount of tables located behind the truck as are the condiments and stuff. We were able to get a table with no problem but when we left people were waiting for a table and the line had grown quite a bit.
The corn dog was really good! Obvious by the shape that the dog is hand dipped. There was more corn at the end then on the body of the dog but that was okay because it was very tasty. The corn was well done, a nice golden color. I liked the taste of the dog as well. Had a good flavor. And it was nice and hot. We had to wait to bite it. The only negative was that the stick only stuck out about 1/2"from the end. Made it difficult to hold. Being fried, it was a little greasy so I wrapped a napkin around it to absorb some of it. I dipped my bites in mustard and my 18 y/o daughter used ketchup.
The seating area was a pleasant place to sit. The trees provide some nice dappled shade.
A man sitting at the table next to us told his wife that it was the best corn dog he ever had! I have to agree!

This cart has always been my favorite place in Disneyland. I eat at it every visit and dream of going back. I don't know if it was run independently before, and now has been absorbed by Disney, or if something else happened, but IT IS NOT THE SAME. First, they ordering is done in front, away from the wagon. They will not allow you to order without chips and will ignore you if you say it used to be that way. The only thing they will say is you must pick the lays chips or cutie oranges. The corn dogs come out half the size of the old ones. All four corndogs I ordered were burned and dripping rivers of grease. Even accounting for being overcooked, the batter was not even as good as store bought. I have told my children stories about this corn dog wagon for years. They stared at me like I was crazy when I gave them these. My daughter kept looking around and pointing out other people’s reactions when trying the dogs. One lady took a bite, made a face and promptly threw the rest in the garbage. My family was on a strict budget, so we were forced to eat our...
Read moreThe Little Red Wagon Corn Dog Stand at Disneyland is a convenient spot for a quick bite, especially if you’re in the mood for a classic corn dog. When I visited, there was no wait line, which was a pleasant surprise considering how busy Disneyland can get. The cashier was friendly and cheerful, adding a touch of warmth to the experience.
However, the food itself was a mixed bag. The corn dog I received was noticeably deformed, which, while not a dealbreaker, did detract from the overall presentation. In terms of taste, it leaned a bit too salty for my liking, and the batter was greasier than I expected. While the crunch was satisfying, the excess oil made it feel heavy.
Despite the shortcomings, the portion size was generous, and it’s nice to have a quick option for something filling while roaming the park. Still, for the price, I expected a bit more attention to detail and better balance in flavor.
Overall, the Little Red Wagon Corn Dog Stand is fine for a no-fuss snack if you’re in a rush and want something hot and hearty. But if you’re seeking the best corn dog experience, it might not quite live up to the hype. It’s worth a try if you’re a fan of classic fair food, but don’t expect it to...
