My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[NannyBeBe]

I just want to encourage everybody to take figment's advice on food. We just got back from DLR. After reading a lot of this forum, we took his advice and had the Bourbon Street Sampler and the Shrimp and Grits at Brennan's. All I can say is that we are still talking about that meal. Some of the best food I have ever had. Thank you, figment.

I just have to say that I never comment enough, but I love when Figment goes to DL, he has great taste in food and always had good things to say about it. Someday we will go to Big Thunder BBQ, it looks great, just a lot of food and I'm never really up to eating that much.

Thanks! Yeah, the BBQ is really good, but you have to be hungry to eat there. Figment always has to remind himself not to snack his way through the parks on the day when the BBQ is planned!

Figment - Do you know if those specialty fried biscuits are part of the WOC lunch package. They do look like something I'd like to try.

Unfortunately, as the PP said, the house biscuit are not included on the WoC lunch package. We asked once and they said they could be ordered separately, but there was no way to substitute them for anything on the WoC dining package (we asked about paying an upcharge, but that wasn't possible either). They are well worth trying, but when on the WoC dining package, that would be a lot of food!

Thanks! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the sampler and shrimp and grits. Those are two of Figment's favorite things at Brennan's!

How wonderful is this? I went there when I was much younger with my parents. It was a really cool meal! This is something I would really enjoy so much more than a character meal.

Thanks figment_jii! I just booked us for the second night. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Thanks Jill! I just booked us for the second night. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Who is Jill?

Who is Jill?

Oops! All these years I though her name was Figment_jill and now that I look closer it's Figment_jii.

I know what you mean -- at a quick glance a screen name can look like something else. One time I was trying to type out a reply to a DIS'er and I kept typing "Jimmy Jam" instead of what I was intending to type. It's like my hands wanted to type something else and kept interfering.

It does sound like fun...have a great time!

No worries! The "jii" stands for "Journey Into Imagination", the original name of the attraction that Figment is from.

I always wondered what jii was from. Thanks for the clarification!

I won't be there until later in the week, but it's just as well! It's a little pricey!

We've been going out to Disney for some Day trips to see the special fireworks and parade, and of course a girl's gotta eat! So here are a few of the treats that we have enjoyed recently.

The Lamburger at the Uva Bar is always a favorite for me!





The French Dip wasn't bad either!



I love the Chicken Chile Verde Cone from the Cozy Cones.



They also have a new cone, pulled pork with cole slaw and a pickle



And I love me some Plaza Inn Fried Chicken



with a little Cobb Salad

I cannot wait to sample some of the 60th goodies in December! And one of the ballon popcorn buckets better come home with me!
I have never eaten at the Jazz kitchen, I for sure want to check it out after seeing the photos here!
