Must eats at DCA & Disneyland???

[jesses_disney_girl]

We will be at DCA for one day and Disneyland for one day. What are some must-eat food items from each park?

The Disneyland Dining Review and Photo thread has lots of good food information. There was also this thread about the "Best Snacks" from earlier this year. Overall, it depends on whether you're looking for snacks, counter service and/or table service recommendations.

I like a nice hot chocolate or Starbucks drink with a churro for breakfast in either park!

In Disneyland, the best meal I've had was the delicious Plaza Inn fried chicken. The treats from the Jolly Holiday are all beautiful and tasty, my favorite being the raspberry Macaron!

In DCA, make sure to grab a snack from the Cozy Cones, which are super fun for pictures. I loved the churro dipped in caramel sauce and the lemonade (with or without vodka) with fruity foam on top. They also have dipped soft serve ice cream cones!

Have fun planning!

When we get off Splash Mountain and/or Pooh's Adventure Ride, we stroll through the Pooh's store and watch the CMs make a few treats while we decide what tasty treat we would like.

Not in the parks, but really close is Whitewater Snacks in the GCH (the entrance into the GCH is across from Grizzly Rapid's exit). Nice, relaxing setting with a good amount of variety of food choices. Their individual pizzas are small, but you get a really good size salad with it. The nachos are really good, so is the yogurt parfait. If all else fails, you can grab a Mickey Ice Cream Bar there.

fried pickles (carnation cafe), lobster roll (harbor galley), pomegranate piranha lemonade (bengal barbecue), chicken fusilli (pizza port), matterhorn macaroon (jolly holiday), clam chowder (harbor galley, royal st. veranda, pacific wharf cafe), chili cone queso (cozy cone motel). the corn dogs are really good, but don't get them from the red wagon, go to the stage door cafe instead- the line is way shorter and it's little cheaper!

Hot link corndog in DCA, cioppino at Ariel's Grotto. Best things I've eaten at Disney outside of Club 33.

The bread from the bakery in DCA is wonderful (the smell in there is amazing!). Also, the fries form Cafe Orleans are worth going there for. They're the best fries ever!

My son and I always split a churro for breakfast, get corn dogs for lunch, split a rice crispy treat for snack and split a turkey leg for dinner. On the way out he gets to pick a treat from Main Street Confectionery and I pick up something plus a coffee for the drive back to San Diego.
