My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

Where is THAT from? It looks fantastic!

Sorry, that was from Ralph Brennan's lunch menu. And yes it was fantastic.

One of my favorite spots! Love eating lunch on the patio and watching all the people going to and from the parks or strolling DTD.

I'm not sure how I would feel about Tigger Tails, are they Orange Flavored?

But I love me Cheshire Cat Tails!

What does a Cheshire Cat Tail taste like? Does it have caramel just like a Tigger Tail? I'm curious and would love to try one.

It has the marshmallows and caramel, and the pink and purple is just a candy coating with no real flavor like a raspberry or cherry, just sugary goodness. Does a Tigger tail have an Orange flavor to it, or is it just sugary. I haven't made it back to Pooh's corner to get one. Marcelines is just so convenient when you are staying at the GCH.

It has an orange taste to it. We got the Tigger tail this trip and it is rather good.

So I'd like to dine at Blue Bayou this September moreso for the atmosphere because POTC is DHs fave ride but the menu just doesn't look too appealing to me and I'm not too keen on spending about $70 for dinner there. How strict are they about adults ordering off the kids menu? I'd be happy as a lark if I could order the mac and cheese!!! Looks delicious from the pics I've seen! And actually, I'm sure DH would order that too if it was allowed!

I don't know about that but I do know that you can split plates. I am with you on the menu. I have been told the Monte Cristo is good, and I know the pork is good.

I think it really depends on your server. I have been able to go to the BB and order just the gumbo and a dessert (of course we were told by the waiter to not mention it to any staff because it went against the general restaurant policy). I would try to hit up lunch for something like that though, when a) you don't have waiters pushing for bigger sales (which equal bigger tips) and b) when the waiter is keen on quick table turnover and more willing to just give you what you want instead of haggling over stuff (although I've never felt rushed at BB).

Anything new to post from recent trips? I depend on this thread to get me through between trips!! Thanks to those of you who keep it up to date!

just bumping! Would love to see some more food porn!

 

[ChickenCarlos]

i agree more FOOD PORN!!

 

[spacemermaid]

So I went to Knott's this weekend (I know...blasphemy! ) & took a whole bunch o' pictures of food to share on here (funnel cake! chicken dinner! bbq! oh my!) and...

...I accidently deleted all of them. So, as we were leaving, I took a pic of the yummy/pretty cake slices they have at the bakery:

The boysenberry one was really good. The rainbow one was good last time I had some (last year).

(Hope Knott's food p0rn is ok in this thread! I know many Dis'ers make a side trip to Knott's during their vacations...)

 

[lulubelle]

This fatty girl loves any kind of food pics. Knott's or otherwise. Yes, the bosenberry cake looks quite nummy. I am sorry you deleted the chicken ones. We wanted to eat there recently on a Saturday around 3 pm. The line was really, really long. So, we ate at TGIF (across the street) instead. But I really wanted that chicken.

Thanks for sharing Spacemermaid.

You're very welcome! Don't know if you already know, but you can get the fried chicken other places at Knott's besides the chicken dinner restaurant...there's a takeout place in the same general area as the sit-down restaurant. There are also a couple of restaurants inside Knott's that serve the chicken (don't remember the names offhand but I do know they're listed on the map...) The boysenberry cake was sooooo good; I'm going to try to replicate it at home soon

 

[franandaj]

I want to go there for chicken dinner, but I still want to go that place on La Palma that you posted that was real cheap and looked like awesome food!

 

[NovemberMom]

Here is a picture of my BFF's Surf and Turf at the Blue Bayou... It was SO GOOD! I had the Monte Cristo but I am sure there are a ton of pics of that on this thread

 

[deejdigsdis]

Sorry...I didn't go back through the thread to see if there are already similar pics floating around. I may have already posted these myself. I just can't remember!

Carnation Cafe for breakfast:

WAY too many eggs, not enough ham.

My husband really liked his meal. These potatoes are sooo good.

Treats from Pooh Corner.

Lunch at Big Thunder Ranch. YUM!

Lunch at Blue Bayou.

The Pomegranate Lemonade is very good.

Gumbo

Monte Cristo

Tesoro Island Chicken

there's a takeout place in the same general area as the sit-down restaurant.

That there is. The only notable 4th of July (as in I actually remember) that I spent as a child in Orange County was at the Independence Hall replica outside of the park and I remember walking over to the restaurant and getting takeout chicken. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you can get nearly their entire menu to go.

I grew up nearby too (La Puente) & my family used to go to the "free" area of the park (by Independence Hall, before the large scale company picnic grounds were expanded) & make a picnic of the food from the takeout restaurant.

As of last weekend, you could still get the same exact meal as the sit down restaurant to go.

Great pics, deejdigsdis & NovemberMom! It's always so difficult for me to photograph food at BB, due to the dim lighting, but yours turned out really well!

Our server this past weekend would not let me order a kids meal! So DD and I shared *we were not charged the split plate fee* the Monte Cristo, she even brought DD a side of the Mac 'n' Cheese *no charge* *that's what she would've ordered had I been "allowed" to get a kids meal, I would've got the Kids Cut Roast New York. I'm pretty sure those 2 kids meals would've cost about the same as the Monte Cristo..... DD had 1 section of the MC and picked the meat out of it and ate only that, I could only eat 1 section of it ~ with the rolls *I only had one* and the gumbo it's just too much! I boxed up the other 2 MC pieces but never ate them......
