My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[tlovesdis]

Just to clarify, chili is the only thing in a bread bowl at Golden Horseshoe, but not the only thing you can get there. They also have chicken nuggets, fish and chips and awesome ice cream sundaes.

We love the gumbo and clam chowder, both in bread bowls, from Royal Street Verandah.

That's what I meant!! Thanks!!

Thank you everyone for your replies, you guys are awesome!!! I know about the Pacific Wharf and their soups in a bread bowl, we are planning on eating there as well (broccoli and cheese soup in a bread bowl is my favorite ) . When I saw the menu for Golden Horseshoe, and I saw that they had chili in a bread bowl, I got really excited about it. Even though the PP didn't care for the chili at the GH, I think we are still going to eat there because other things on the menu looks really good too....plus the ice cream sundaes sound really good as well .

Wondering if anyone has any experience with trying to order from a children's menu without qualifying for the appropriate age.

Here is my dilemma. I'll be taking my family to DLR in Aug '13. There are several of the nicer restaurants where most of us would like to eat. The exception is my 15 year old who is a super picky eater. I've noticed that the high end sit-down restaurants (e.g. Blue Bayou, Cafe Orleans, Carthay Circle) have a children's menu for kids between the ages of 3-9. In looking at their regular menus, there is nothing my 15 year old will eat. However, there are some things on the children's menu that would work.

I don't want to completely miss out on some of the dining experiences that the rest of us want to enjoy, but I also don't want my 15 year old to have to sit there and watch the rest of us eat (and then have to go hit a CS place afterward so he doesn't starve! ).

Does anyone know if DLR/DCA restaurants will allow a 15 year old to order off of a children's menu? It's not about trying to save a buck. It's about all of us being able to enjoy a nice sit down meal. Thanks!

I haven't personally done it, but I have read about this exact thing numerous times on these discussion boards and others. Your teen should be able to order from the child's menu. I think what they will do is double the portion and, depending on where you are, either double the kid's meal price or charge some sort of comparable price to an adult entree. The important thing is that, yes, you can order him food from the child's menu if those are the only items that will appeal to him.

I don't come here all the time, unless thinking to plan a trip but i saw this question.

From what i was told any one could order a kids meal, only chr meals seem to stick to the child/adult prices. They could change or you could have a mean waiter, but I know my kid is also picky

 

[merrysmom]

I think I read before that they will make an adult-sized serving of a children's menu item, but it is charged as an adult meal. Someone can tell you differently if I'm wrong!

 

[Peezle]

Thank you all very much for your responses! If that's the way it works, then we will be good to go. I actually like that they increase the portion size. That will work even better for my son. I'm just glad we'll be able to eat where we want! Thanks again.

Throw in a couple of Mickey bars...

 

[sophies*mom]

I have also been drooling over this thread for the longest time, and now I can finally contribute!!

This was from our recent trip (4/15-4/18)

Chocolate dipped Mickey pretzel and red velvet Mickey cake pop, both from Marceline's Confectionery in Downtown Disney and both insanely yummy!

In DCA:

Beef Teriyaki rice bowl from Lucky Fortune Cookery. My DH said it was good but there was not enough food for the price.

I had the carne asada and chicken tamale platter from Cocina Cucamonga. I thought it was good. The carne asada was a little tough though.

and just because, our souvenir sipper filled with coke

Monterey clam chowder and broccoli cheese soup in bread bowls from Pacific Wharf Cafe. Both very good but not nearly enough soup! And the bread bowl was hard to tear apart and eat.

Giant Mickey cookie!

Disneyland:

Dole Whip! A first for my DH and I and I am so glad we tried it. SO good, I know why everyone loves them now! I LOVE pineapple and this did not disappoint!

Even our DD snuck in a few licks

We got skewers from Bengal BBQ. Our consensus was that they were very good, but nowhere close to being a meal. We had two each and a tiger tail.
We had a Chieftain Chicken Skewer each, DH had a Banyan Beef Skewer and I had a Bengal Beef Skewer.

When we headed to Toontown, we decided to make up for the skewers. I had a turkey sandwich from Clarabelle's. It was terrible. The bread was not good at all. DH had a pepperoni pizza from Daisy's. It was typical eh pizza but he's a pizza-a-holic, so he had no problem eating the whole thing. We got our DD a Mickey ice cream sandwich, which she really couldn't eat so we ate most of that one! lol

The ice cream sandwich was big, which I was pleasantly surprised about.

We of course had to get treats in Pooh's Corner after riding Winnie the Pooh!
I got a much talked about Tigger Tail. It was not overly sweet as I had read several times, but it was a lot more to eat than it seems! I took a bite or two and saved the rest for later. It was a yummy late night treat at the end of the day!

DH asked for some turtle fudge but this is what he found when we sat down to eat our treats. Whatever it was, it was still cute enough to eat! haha.

And I couldn't resist taking pictures of the yummy apples in the case. I LOVE the Cheshire cat apple!

We rounded out the day with dinner at the Plaza Inn. I was hoping to try out the new menu at Hungry Bear, but they were closed

We both got the fried chicken. DH said he wanted the pot roast, but as soon as he saw the portion compared to the chicken, he changed his mind. He said it was a tiny helping. I didn't see it, though. I knew I wanted CHICKEN! lol

On our last day before heading home, we had lunch at Earl of Sandwich. My first time eating there and it was pretty good.

I had lots of people telling me I needed to try the Holiday Turkey sandwich, so that's what I got. Yummy! But not something I'd get every time. Next time I'd like to try something else.

DH got the Chipotle Chicken Avocado. He said it was good.

I also got a cup of broccoli and cheddar soup and it was NOT good. No flavor and had a watery vs creamy consistency. Sad.

We ended the trip with more treats from Marceline's. I got another chocolate Mickey pretzel. DH got peanut butter fudge and DD got some confetti popcorn (which I think tastes like Fruity Pebbles! haha)

 

[Misskitty3]

Thank you Sophie's mom -- your pictures look soooooo good!!

 

[sophies*mom]

No problem!
My DH thought I was crazy for taking pictures of everything we ate
I told him, that's what we DO! Trust me, I'm not alone here! lol

 

[disneykiwi]

great pics thanks - I am heading there is 5 weeks or so.

now really looking forward to some of those treats
