My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

oct12.jpg


Breakfast platter at River Belle Terrace... It was good, but the portions have decreased greatly since the last time I ate there in December.

I have noticed that this past July. Many portions seem to have decreased, but prices are still the same.
 
Sorry no pictures, but here's a few quick reviews from our trip last weekend. By the way, I am on a no sugar and no starch diet... hence the lack of yummy treats! :sad1: Maybe on the December trip, I guess!

BTW, for reference, our DD is 3 years old.

Breakfast every day was at our hotel, the Anaheim Marriott. Love their breakfast buffet! Waffles, omelets, eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, and so much more!

Tomorrowland Terrace dinner:

Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad for me. Good flavor but sort of "watery" due to the veggies (cukes, tomatoes, red peppers) in it. Filling though. Good dressing.

Mahi mahi wrap for DH. Said it was very good, although it did have a lot of cilantro and got a bit spicy towards the "bottom" of the wrap. Fruit side was fresh and good.

Kids mac and cheese for DD. She didn't love it (picky though) but DH said it was great. She ate the mandarin oranges and drank her chocolate milk though!

Carnation Cafe lunch:


Oscar's Salad for me. Wish the tomatoes weren't marinated, as the Italian seasoning clashed with my choice of dressing (Ranch). Still, salad was very good. Loved the Gruyere cheese in it. And Oscar himself stopped by twice. :)

Steak melt for DH. Loved it and ate it up. Fruit for side was good and fresh.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup for DD. She chowed down on this! Smelled just as great as when I've had it before... prior to the diet. :guilty:

Taste Pilots Grille dinner:

Ribs for DH and me. They were really tasty, moist and not too fatty. DH said the fries were good, though not great. They were regular fries and not waffle fries, BTW. The side of slaw was pretty tasty and fresh.

Kids cheese burger for DD. She liked the fries better than the burger. I tried a few bites of the burger (sans bun) and thought it was decent for a park burger, but nothing to brag about.

Storyteller's Cafe lunch:

We really enjoy this place, so we skipped out for lunch when everywhere at DCA was long lines. First time we've been for lunch and not dinner.

Spaghetti for DH. As good as always and a larger portion than the last time we ate dinner there. He really likes that pasta! Well seasoned.

Grilled chicken sandwich for me. I ordered the garlic bread on the side, and DD ate it all for her lunch. (She'd already snarfed down a granola bar before lunch.) The chicken was cooked well, not too dry, and smothered in cheese. The onions were more sauteed than caramelized but still good. The fresh fruit side was really yummy. Great grapes.

Pacific Wharf Cafe dinner:

LONG LINE but moved along okay.

Broccoli cheese soup bread bowl for DD. She gobbled it all down very quickly and ate some of the bread. Not as much soup as I'd expect to get for $8.99 though.

Sonoma Chicken salad for me. It was yummy and fresh. Liked the cranberries on top. The dressing was nice... reminded me of a mayo dressing like you'd put on Waldorf salad. No celery in my bowl, but I don't like it anyways, so that was nice. Not skimpy on the walnuts... I actually left a few. Pretty good salad overall.

Cocina Cucomonga dinner:


DH got the soft taco plate. Ordered beef, and they were steak, not ground beef, which he enjoyed. Said the beans were really good, too. He didn't eat the rice since he doesn't care for it, but it all looked pretty good and he was happy with it.

Sorry no pics, but better something than nothing!
 
PLAZA INN:
Kids Pasta Meal...
I loved it as I'm a small eater, and it was more than enough for me. I got the pasta with Marinara sauce, and ate this 3 times while in DL. The food was consistantly of high quality and good sized portions.

RANCHO DE ZOCALO:
Kids meal:
Tiny burrito, small portion of applesauce, and some dry, undercooked mexican rice that was basically inedible. Wouldn't eat there again.

STAGE DOOR CAFE:
Fish and Chips:
Loved it. A nice portion of 4 pieces of fish with fries. Good sized portion, and very tasty.

REDD ROCKET'S PIZZA PORT:
Pizza Kids meal:
While it was good, it was a very tiny portion, perhaps for a 3 or 4 year, and while it was good, it was the tinest kids meal portion I had in the parks.

ROYAL ST VERANDA:
Vegetarian Gumbo:
Really enjoyed this, was a good sized portion for me and didn't miss the meat. Nicely spiced, but not that hot, on the medium heat scale.

FRENCH MARKET:
3 Cheese Veggie Gratin:
I really enjoyed it alot. Nice sized portion, and very tasty. A little high in price, but the quality was there, so it was worth it to me.

PACIFIC WHARF CAFE:
Vegetarian Chilli:
It was really good, and didn't miss the meat in it. Nice portion, and good value for the money.

OFF SITE:

MIMI's
Had their Salmon dinner on the Sunday, and wasn't impressed with it, as they severelly overcooked it. Tried again, and had a couple of nicely cooked meals afterwards, so it made up for the 1 bad meal.

MILLIES:
Loved their Soup, Salad, and cornbread meal. Big portions and had the cornbread muffin for brekki the next day. Good quality and value for the money.

I tended to go for the DL kids meal at counter services, as I'm a small eater, and it suited me. Had no problems getting kids meals at the CS places.
 
We ate at Plaza Inn on 10/15.

Fried Chicken (which was awesome!!!)

Actually I was thinking of the caramel corn in DCA not DTD. They have popcorn carts that sell it in Sunshine Plaza and next to Soarin.

oh my gawsh!! the candy corn at DCA is to DIE for...i love that stuff soooo much..btw the corn they sell in DTD is not caramel corn its kettle corn...I personally dont like it...smells amazing but doesnt taste so hot...first bite is ok but after that blech:crazy2:

There are 2 stands in DTD selling kettle corn, one is just plain kettle corn (bleh) the stand up closer to The Disneyland Hotel sells caramel kettle corn...believe me it is very different and sooooo worth walking the extra distance! :thumbsup2
 
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen- Everything was delicious! We were upset that we were so full and not able to finish every bite.

My husband did the $30 deal where you get a soup or salad, entree and dessert (they have a choice of about 4 entrees).

He got the cheese potato soup (which he loved)

His entree was the meatloaf with mashed potatoes-

His dessert was a red velvet type cake roll (cream cheese frosting filling)- it was delicious, but super rich, we couldn't finish it because we were so full and I was sad.

My meal was all ordered separately (not the $30 deal) the raspberry vinaigrette salad with candied pecans-

The chicken gumbo- (also has sausage in it)

And I had a side of grits (yum!)

We got to sit out on the balcony on a beautiful day and we ate at about 4:30 on a Saturday night and were seated right away with no reservation, service was good and food was good!
 
Haha- okay I had to take a bite to show the inside!

Pooh's corner treats-

Smore (milk chocolate)-

Peanut butter Bar- Like a smore, but the marshmallow was replaced with a thick peanut butter sort of like a fancy reeses with a graham cracker inside.

These were kind of pricey, but tasty (and very rich!)

White Water Snacks-

Chicken Nachos $9.99-
bb6be47d.jpg


Chicken sandwich with avocado (I think $8.49ish)-
84caf565.jpg


We thought they were both good, but nothing amazing. The nachos would have definitely been big enough to share.
 
Mimi's cafe- Dinner (off property next to the HoJo)...hope these are okay to include :)

The bread they bring you- (Included two sourdough type rolls and several banana and spice type breads- all very good).

My husband got a burger with a side of coleslaw and potato chips.

I got one of the all day breakfast items which was an omelet with bacon and avocado and salsa with a side of fruit. It also included a huge muffin and juice (such a good deal!) I was able to wrap the muffin up and save it for breakfast the next day along with the breads from the basket...um, yeah, we took those too, haha.

Pumpkin Spice Muffin from the Blue ribbon bakery (sorry if this is already on here). I loved it, but my husband was upset to find out there were raisins inside :laughing:.

YUM i had 2 of those when I went 2 weeks ago!
The first one I got didn't have the Mickey candy on top and it did have raisins inside....

Both were yummy!!!!
 
I've no new pics to contribute for another 40 or so days (I'm not counting or anything :rolleyes1 :laughing:), but I wanted to pop in & say: great pics, everyone!!!
