Thank you travelmel and Cristabel for your input. I really appreciate it! It's so nice to get others opinions on things like that.
Blue Ribbon Bakery:
I've been in here so many times and the line was always so long that I turned and walked back out, but I've seen pics of the goodies from there and decided on this trip I want to try something if for no other reason then to say I did. LOL
French Market:
This place has a new menu which I am eager to try. I've never eaten there before so I won't miss the old menu the way some people do. Apparently they had great fried chicken before.
I'm torn between the:
Plantation Citrus Chicken - Roasted chicken breast seasoned with citrus and cajun spices. Served with smashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and cheddar corn bread. $12.99
OR
Four-Cheese Pasta and Vegetable Gratin - A creamy blend of cheddar, smoked gouda, provolone and asiago surrounding tender pasta and smooth, subtle bites of Shiitake mushroom and cauliflower florets. Served with seasonal vegetables and cheddar corn bread. $12.49
They both sound good to me.
Riverbelle Terrace:
I've eaten there in the past, but not since they reopened. I'm curious to try their new sandwiches and see what they are like. I think they are pricey at $12-$13 but I think I'd like to try the turkey one.
Actually what I was thinking of doing is getting one sandwich from there and one chili bread bowl from Golden Horseshoe and splitting that with Ruben. Then we can each try both of those without getting too full.
Anyone ever had the chili bread bowl? It was supposed to be Walt's favorite.
Taste Pilot's Grill:
We've eaten here before and liked it pretty well. I'm not much of a burger fan so I usually get one of the chicken sandwiches. Ok, ok, I usually get the Aviator's Chicken sandwich which is the fried one.
Thanks for the tip on the Bleu Cheese burger travelmel! I was actually looking at that on the menu even though I don't eat burgers very often. But now I will stick to my chicken sandwich. Ruben is a burger person though, but I'll make sure to tell him to steer clear of the Blue Cheese one.
Their fries are good too, and OMG they give you so much of them! Am I the only one who likes to dip them in the BBQ sauce they have there?
But this time I'm also wondering about the Full Throttle Fries - Criss-Cut Fries prepared with TLC and everything we've got - Cheddar cheese, chili, diced onions, chopped tomatoes and sour cream $5.49.
Those sound really good! I wonder if they are though.....
Carnation Cafe:
We've also eaten here before and really liked it. It was in December and Ruben ordered a turkey pot pie with bits of cranberry in it. He said it was very good, which is really high praise from him since he usually doesn't say much about Disneyland food. LOL
I'm also planning to try the Loaded Baked Potato soup which I've heard is delicious. And the kids like the make your own PB and J sandwiches there.
Cafe Orleans:
I am very excited to try this place! I've always wanted to, but the menu doesn't appeal to the rest of my family so I'm happy that I'll get to try it out with some of the fabulous DIS Divas!!
White Water Snacks:
Never eaten here either, but I've heard good things about it so I'm going to give it a try. I like that the drinks are refillable and I've seen pics of the nachos and they look yummy.
Rainforest Cafe:
OK, I have to admit I like it here, but I think that's because my kids enjoy it so much so that makes me happy. I've heard reports of really bad service and I think if we'd experienced that then I'd be turned off too. But so far we've been lucky and our servers have always been wonderful. I hope this time is as good as the others. (fingers crossed!)
Oh, and I usually get an appetizer as my meal so it's not as expensive as some of their entrees which do seem overpriced. The pita quesadillas are good and filling.
Ariel's Grotto:
I'm going into this place with very low expectations. It sounds funny to say that but I've heard many bad reports on their service and so-so food. So I'm not expecting much at all.
Why go then? Well, because I admit it, I am a Princess fan and I just have to see for myself what it's like. If nothing else, I'm hoping to get some really special shots of the twins in their Princess dresses with the Princesses.
Of course all of this is subject to change.
And in the time between now and October it probably will. I get bored, or start to second guess something and then go and rearrange all my plans. Drives my poor husband crazy.
