My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

Some of them have raisins for facial features. Mainly they have crunchy colored sugar for decorations.

YUM! I can't wait to try a pumpkin muffin! All of that stuff looks soooo good!! And what I like about DLR is that the food is cute too!
Thanks for the pics!

Jack asked and I'm curious too, where did you stay with the awesome breakfast?

The ridiculously awesome breakfast buffet can be found at the Anaheim Marriott across the street from the convention center. It's not automatically included, but we get it as part of their Escape, Park & Play package rate. It's usually only about $9 more than the room rate plus parking (we drive to DL), and it includes the breakfast buffet for up to four guests per room. Tax is included, although tip is not. The buffet is usually $19.99 for adults and a bit less for kids, so we think the $9 is definitely worth it!

The buffet includes: made to order omelets, made to order eggs Benedict (so rich!), made to order belgian waffles (so fluffy!) with various syrup and fruit toppings (whipped cream, too!), breakfast potatoes, breakfast quesadillas, pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, oatmeal, cold cereal, pastries, milk, juice, coffee, yogurt, donuts, toast, bagels, very fresh fruit, cheese, and a lot more! Even after leaving a tip, there's no way our family could eat a similar meal in the parks for anywhere near that price! Plus the food is excellent and very high quality!


We got the package rate on our first trip to DL and now DH insists on staying there and eating the breakfast buffet daily if at all possible!

Note: the buffet is located in Cafe del Sol in the lobby and is open to all. You can eat there even if you're not a guest at the hotel.

I'm back from my Halloweentime trip & come bearing gifts!

Pride candy apples...these were AMAZING!

Lol, I believe these were actually for WoC. They came out around the sane time.

Hmm, I wonder if this is the same place as where we are staying. We'll be at the Anaheim Marriott Suites, but I think it's different. I don't know. Never stayed there before.





I am LOVING all the food porn, especially the Halloween goodies. Keep it coming everyone.

You're very welcome; I wish I'd brought home some of the pumpkin muffins!!! Those were the best out of all the Halloween treats I tried!

Disneyland published the recipe!

Here it is:

Disneyland's Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Muffins:
2 cups pumpkin purée (canned)
1½ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
¾ cup canola oil
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ tsp. salt
1½ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. baking soda
¾ tsp. cinnamon
¾ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
½ cup raisins

Preheat oven to 325ºF.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla until well blended.
Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg over the pumpkin mixture and whisk until just blended. Over mixing may result in less tender muffins.
Fold in the raisins until consistently distributed.
Portion mixture into muffin pans and bake at 325ºF for 25 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into center of muffin and remove. If toothpick is clean, the muffins are ready. If not, allow muffins to cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until toothpick is clean.
Allow muffins to cool for 30–60 minutes.

Cream Cheese Icing:
1 cup unsalted butter
1½ cups cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
½ tsp. cinnamon
Allow cream cheese and butter to soften at room temperature for about an hour.
Mix cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
Add vanilla extract, powdered sugar and cinnamon, and mix until well blended.
Remove from mixer, and cover and refrigerate until needed.
Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip with icing. Poke a hole into the center of each cooled muffin and squeeze icing directly into the middle of the muffin, finishing with a rosette on the top.

Special Tip: This recipe makes a generous amount.

I made these a couple of days a go and they were amazing

Thanks for posting it! YUMMMM

 

[tiggrbaby]

Oooh, I know what I'm making for Sunday dinner dessert! Thanks for sharing!

 

[justliketink]

You're welcome! I didn't have a pastry bag, so I didn't squeeze the icing into the muffins. I just spread it on top. YUMMMMMMM It made my whole house smell like fall while they were baking

 

[spacemermaid]

Disneylvrforever: Oh...I thought they were for Gay Days...that's OK, I can still pretend they're Pride apples

justliketink: Thanks for posting the recipe! I'm going to make some when it gets closer to Halloween!

Regardless of whether or not Disney calls them WOC apples they showed up right around the end of September...coindidence? I think not! Even though we didn't make it for Gay Days, we were there the week before and got one. Very tasty!

I'm back from my Halloweentime trip & come bearing gifts!

Glittery pumpkin Mickey cupcakes from the Blue Ribbon Bakery.

These cupcakes are soooooo good! I couldn't get enough of them!

 

[keahgirl8]

Are they pumpkin flavored cupcakes?

 

[curiouslittleoyster]

Are they pumpkin flavored cupcakes?

Got them from the Cafe outside of the Disneyland Hotel on the 17th of Sept and they said they were Pumpkin muffins, but they don't look and taste like the Pumpkin muffins I've seen and purchased at the parks since then. These ones have walnuts in them and bits of fruit(I think apples) and have a bit of cinnamon, too.

Oooops! they weren't as pretty as Disney's, but they sure tasted great!

I go to Disneyland often, but always forget to take food pictures. I am going to try to be more consistent. These were taken yesterday.

Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria
- We used the spend $30 get $30 certificate sent by Patina via e-mail for my birthday. Our bill came to $66 dollars including tax. We ended up paying $36 for all the food below plus one soda. Not bad!

Bread and Oil - Didn't eat much of this. I was saving room for everything else!

The Spaghetti was perfectly cooked, sauce nice and light. I didn't try the meatballs, but DH said they were good (not great).

Large Pepperoni Pizza. As always, a HUGE pizza, but very tasty. The crust is very thin, and not everyone's cup of tea. I personally love it! We took over half of it to go.

Tiramisu - This tasted great, but doesn't have a strong coffee flavor. We took over half of it to go.

Gelato - Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla
This wasn't your ordinary ice cream renamed. It was creamy and soft and had a fantastic flavor. The chocolate was my favorite. DH loved the strawberry.

This was a fantastic meal! Service was wonderful as well!

Here are a few from our trip last week...

Matterhorn Macaroon - yummy!

Cupcake sampler - we had 3 boxes of these between the two of us!

Sliders with blue cheese at Hearthstone Lounge in GCH. Good but pricey at $11!

Margarita Flatbread with chicken added at Hearthstone. Pretty good, it was a better deal than the sliders, I think $14.

 

[DizneyDogs]

that Matterhorn Macaroon looks so good!!!
