I'm just back from 4 days in the parks and was pleasantly surprised at the food. I think I'm just getting better at finding the gems in the mix. Here's some things that we tried:
Corn dogs: Everyone loved
Jalapeno cream cheese pretzels: Yum, filling, nice to have non-bland food
Pomme frites: Always everyone's favorite
Monte Cristo: Half liked, half were so-so
Red Beans & Rice w/Andouille Sausage (French Market): I liked this
Mint Julep: Not bad
Mickey Beignets: Kids loved, especially since dying to try beignets since loving The Princess and The Frog movie
Fried Green Tomato sandwich with zesty slaw: Decent sandwich, loved the slaw, so vinegary and oniony! The sweet potato fries were good, too, but the kids weren't fans. The Hungry Bear burgers weren't loved.
Ghirardelli hot chocolate: Kids liked it but large ($4.50ish) was too big for them
Dole Whip was the fav food of one of the kids.
Onion Rings from Taste Pilots: Not bad, very corn-y
Off-site: Marri's pizza delivery was ok but pricey-- $60 for two XL pizzas delivered, and too heavy/messy for paper plates in a hotel room with no forks.
Naples 45 in DTD... Used a coupon to get a $60 meal for $30, was worth about $30 max. One pizza. We won't bother with that again. Red Lion Inn room service meatball sub and cheesey bread were good.

I'm usually one of the "park food sucks" brigade but we found great options this trip, so I thought I'd mention it.
