Where We Want to Eat!
Hello hello and welcome back! I have a very short list of places and foods that we want to eat and I am here to report about it!
Plaza Inn - Disneyland
First things first, the ADR booking window opened up and I managed to snag two ADR's at the Plaza Inn, one of course will be cancelled, but I do need YOUR help deciding which time is best!
Wednesday Nov 9th at 8:40am
Thursday Nov 10th at 7:30 am
So my thought process is that Thursday is probably better because with EMM and MM the park will probably open to those guests at 8 am.. so we will have an advantage. The only problem is that we will have already used our Magic Morning (on Tuesday) how will they know that we were in the park for a dining reservation when we are done? Does that make sense? Will we be able to ride rides after breakfast if the park isn't open to all guests?
Rainforest Café - Downtown Disney
I tried to make a reservation at Rainforest Café on our arrival day 11/6 for dinner but nothing was available. I do have a Landry's Select card so I think we will be able to walk up and be seated but I'd rather be safe than sorry. October is also my birthday month so I will have a $25.00 credit to use there as well (with the Landry's Select Card)!!! We love Rainforest Café (and T-REX for that matter). The closest one to us is in Atlantic City, about 75 minutes away, so we will definitely enjoy a meal here on our trip!
Cozy Cones - California Adventure
Bacon Mac and Cheese Cone
I have read some very mixed reviews about this one and the 'ayes' have it! I will definitely be enjoying one of these on our trip!

Cove Bar - California Adventure
This really isn't to eat, but to drink! One of our favorite things to do! I could not think of a more relaxing time then sitting here sipping this enjoying this amazing view!

Jazz Kitchen Express - Downtown Disney
The Original New Orleans Beignets
These look so tasty and to be honest I have read that they are better here than they are at Café Orleans! We are definitely going to give them a try, especially if the park doesn't open until 9am one morning, we will probably make our way to Downtown Disney and grab these before waiting in line!

Naples - Downtown Disney
I'll tell ya, one of our favorite traditions at WDW is to eat at Via Napoli and share a pizza. Well when I was looking into dining options at DL, I came across Naples and I don't know if they are at all related but holy smokes they look identical! I haven't booked an ADR here yet, I am mostly waiting on park hours to be released but this will definitely be on our dining agenda 100%! I'm lookin' at you Margherita pizza and panzerotti!

Tiki Juice Bar - Disneyland
Dole Whip Float - what else?!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain - California Adventure
Espresso Escape
Two scoops of espresso chip ice cream, freshly homemade dark chocolate hot fudge, whipped cream and an Intense Dark Twilight Delight 72% chocolate, COME ON, who can pass this up!!!!
Trader Sam's - Disneyland Hotel
Again, just for drinks BUT we have been trying to get to the Trader Sam's in WDW since it opened but it never worked out so I am hoping we can make it to the original one for a drink or two, since ya know it's within walking distance!
_____________________________________
Other than all of these options, our hotel (Park Vue Inn) has breakfast offered every morning and I've read it's actually pretty decent! I am sure we will make good use of that!
We are also strangely obsessed with the Disney Chicken Nuggets and Fries combo... Don't judge us, there is just something about them that keeps us coming back for more! Although I must admit, looking over all of the menus on allears.net, I am not finding too many places that offer these, unlike WDW where they are available just about anywhere!!!
We are open to any other suggestions, we did look into Blue Bayou, mostly for the atmosphere but the food doesn't appeal to us!
Thanks again for following along!
