My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[Astylla]

Did they just change the physical menu (sounds really cool) or did they also change the items on the menu?

Here's the best pic I could get , but it doesn't showcase how nice the menu looks in person.

Carthay Circle WOC lunch package. I had the tri-tip over blue cheese risotto and my niece had the bacon burger.



Treats we had at DL/DCA last week!

Cove bar...Lobster Nachos are the best!



Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen for dinner. We did soup and appetizers for our meal. The best was the bacon wrapped shrimp! YUMMY!!!

Continuing with Figment's Diamond Sparkling Summer Trip, 2016...

Jolly Holiday, Snacks
Jolly Holiday is one of Figment's favorite places to get a mid-afternoon or midnight snacks! They always have a lot of really yummy choices. (Although, they do run out of things, so if you wait to go until near closing, they may have run out.)

Raspberry Mickey Macaron - This is Figment's favorite dessert at Jolly Holiday. The raspberries add a nice amount of tartness to the sweetness of the creme and cookie. So good!

Chocolate Eclair - Yummy!

Strawberry Meyer Lemon Tart - Lemon custard with a little bit of strawberry and a shortbread cookie crust. It was very good!

These are few other things that were available at Jolly Holiday.
Red Velvet Whoopie Pie

Clarabelle's Hand-Scooped Ice Cream, Snack
Clarabelle's is always a great place to have a snack! This time, Figment opted to have dessert before dinner. While waiting for a table at the Cove Bar, Figment headed over to Clarabelle's for some ice cream.

The Oswald - Two Scoops Ice Cream with Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, Chocolate Chips, Cherry, Waffle Cup, and a Chocolate Dipped Banana. Figment likes to get the Oswald with two scoops of Mocha Almond Fudge ice cream. Messy, but good!

Strawberry Sundae - Two Scoops Ice Cream with Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, Chocolate Chips, Cherry, and Waffle Cup. The whipped cream was a bit messy, but otherwise, the sundae was still very yummy.

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor, Snack
After watching fireworks, Figment headed over to Jolly Holiday for a late night snack. Along the way, he decided to get an ice cream sundae from Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae - Two Scoops of Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream and two Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies with Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream and a Cherry. This was really good! (And it was especially fun to eat it while watching Paint the Night).

Coke Corner, Snack
As a mid-day snack, Figment got a hot dog with chili from Coke Corner. He always likes the hot dogs at Disneyland!

Finishing up...Figment's Diamond Sparkling Summer Trip, 2016

Treats, Candies, and Other Goodies
As usual, there were lots of treats, candies, and other goodies throughout the resort.

Annual Passholder Popcorn Bucket - The bucket costs $15 initially and AP holders can purchase refills for $1. The bucket holds about the same amount as a regular box of popcorn. Figment got a lot of popcorn on this trip!

Finding Dory Caramel Apple

Finding Nemo Caramel Apple

Gourmet Apple: Chocolate Peanut Butter - So good, but very messy to eat and very sweet!

60th Anniversary Mickey and Minnie Cake Pops

60th Anniversary Logo Cake Pop

Memorial Day Apple - I have to admit that the Memorial Day apples were kind of disappointing. The top third of the apple was uncovered and they were smaller than the other apples. I thought they would have done a normal apple and used three colors of sugar to get the red, white, and blue effect.

Memorial Day Rice Crispie Treats

Memorial Day Marshmallow Wands

Chocolate Marshmallow Wands

I am pretty good about avoiding ice cream..... until I see the Mocha Almost Fudge Ice Cream on the menu, then all bets are off. That is my weakness! Love, love, love it!

 

[Diznygrl]

So, is it really called Mocha ALMOST Fudge?? When Figment wrote it twice I thought it was just the work of autocorrect not knowing she wanted to say ALMOND.

 

[Musthavecoffee]

Figment is making me hungry! Love the treats and wish the AP popcorn bucket deal would never end!

 

[figment_jii]

Nope, that one is all me! For some reason, my fingers just typed "almost" instead of "almond". I fixed it in the original post...

This time, Figment opted to have dessert before dinner. While waiting for a table at the Cove Bar, Figment headed over to Clarabelle's for some ice cream.

I sure wish I could eat like figment! Lol. That is definitely the way to make sure to have room for dessert. I often can't find room for both a meal and dessert, but I have been known to solve this problem by having ice cream as lunch or dinner occasionally during my Disneyland vacation.

This is the Gourmet Marshmallow wand ( Toffee wand) from Pooh Corner. It is soooo tasty and the toffee is very buttery and just enough crisp. The chocolate coating is thick and the caramel plentiful fully covering the marshmallow. $4.99 before AP discount.

Those look yummy! I wonder if they use the same toffee that they make at the parks...
