I gained 10lbs in 10 days at WDW, I have no idea how I managed to do that, and I don't want to. I just go back to the gym and work out harder when I get home.

I agree--I don't get the love of the Dole Whip. I tried it (twice!) and it's this yucky, syrupy sweet mixture of pinapple juice (from a can) and really bad frozen yogurt. I mean, it isn't an episode of Fear Factor, but it isn't anything to dream about.
I just keep trying new things, and sometimes I hit a winner. This last trip I finally tried one of the mammoth turkey legs that taste strangely of ham. It is enormous and you don't want to know how many calories are in that thing, but I have to say it was freakishly good. I ate that with one of the chili-lime ears of corn (really good!) and now I do find myself daydreaming about eating them again one day soon. The turkey leg is slightly disgusting in theory and looks, but grab yourself a huge handful of napkins to wipe up all the grease and don't plan on eating it all--just it a bit of it. Unless of course you want to end up in the ER that is convienently located a stones throw from Disneyland. The breadbowls with the clam chowder are always a hit as well, especially with extra hot sauce. Not so good on a hot day, but perfect for a cooler night at Disneyland. The Blue Bayou is all ambiance and no deliciousness. It is something for all of us humans to do at least once, if not twice--just to get that waterside table and soak in the smell of Pirates.

I have to say that this is a very interesting thread, and I am jotting down notes as I read all the responses. We are WDW vets that will be heading to DLR for the first time in June. I have been reading all of the different menus for both CS and TS at DLR and I have found a lot of things that look appealing (now how they actually taste is another story) to all of us. We live in a suburb of Chicago therefore we love our food here, with that said we love the food at WDW when we go. I do have to agree that WDW is not really known for their CS restaurants compared to the multitudes of TS restaurants that they have. The only exceptions would be Flame Tree BBQ at AK, Earl of Sandwich at DTD, Pecos Bills and Columbia Harbor House at MK, and some of the countries around WS at Epcot. So OP, thank you so much for starting this thread because the suggestions that the posters give is really helping me

I guess I am less picky than most. I love blue bayou, Ariel's for lunch or dinner, Bengal BBQ is delicious and plenty of food for me (usually get a chicken and a veggie skewer), all the character meals have plenty of food I like... I avoid pizza and burgers because I can get those at home and they are always better at home. Rainforest cafe is a must go to for us, as we don't have one around here and dd loves it. We get their lettuce wraps.... Yum! Anyhow, it's hard to please everyone- the sheer variety of people means they can't go too crazy with food. But I'll say we never go hungry there!

Last year when we went, we all thought the food wasn't too impressive. When we were hungry, we pulled out the map and found the nearest quick service.
This year, I did research. I went the food reviews thread here, read reviews on yelp, and went through the menus. We still ate quick service, but thought the food was quite good this time. We even went to some of the same places as last year. This time, however, we knew what to avoid and what to try. Last edited by Mel522; 10-08-2012 at 11:47 AM. |

Dl has DTD right there to give guests great options right there. We found that with the exception of the Table service, WDW was not good for our family That being said, Rancho del Zaccallo and Riverbelle Terrace have great options. But if we count table service in the parks, DL has it hands down with Blue Bayou, Cafe Orleans and Carnation Cafe. Burgers at theme parks are going to be hit or miss. We live in San Antonio and our Six Flags has a Johnny Rockets. Should be good right? NOPE! We will be at Dl in one month for our 6th visit. We have only been to WDW once and will stick with DL and are looking forward to the meals we have planned. But we know from the posts here and the menus on allears.net where we will be eating to insure we are getting the best DL has to offer
