For those of you who have eaten at Ariel's Gotto, it is filling? There will be 4 adults and 2 children and I know we each order a entree but from the picture's I have seen, it's not that big. Would they bring out 2 appetizer tiers or put more on it? With how much it cost's (and yes I know your paying to see the characters), I want this to be our big meal of the day.

That little trolley that the ice cream is served in is so cute! I'll definitely be getting one on my next trip. Great pictures, as always!

Thanks!

Well, Figment reminded me that I need to finish posting the pictures from the holiday trip (before his next trip comes up in February).

French Market - a new menu debuted late last year and Figment was eager to try it.

Market French Dip - The sandwich had really good flavor.

Na Awlin's Salad - Figment really liked the candied Pecans and cherries in the salad.

Royal Street Chicken Caesar - a pretty typical Caesar salad.

Mint Julep - Yummy! Figment really likes this version of a Mint Julep and it's one of his favorite things to have at Disneyland.

Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen - this is one of Figment's staple places to go. He really likes the Sunday brunch. It was very cold (and slightly rainy) this time, but the food was still really good.

Bourbon Street Sampler - As usually, everything was really good. Figment really liked the calamari and the fried artichoke hearts!

Crab Cakes and Eggs - Figment always likes crab cakes, so he thought he'd give the Jazz Kitchen's a try. They were very good.

Creole Caesar Salad with Crispy Crawfish Tails - It was cold out, but Figment still wanted to try the salad. It had good flavor (as always) and the tails were nice and crispy.

Shrimp and Grits - the only place where Figment has found he likes grits! He gets it with "light seasoning" so it's not too spicy and it's very good.

Beignet - Even with a long drive ahead of him, Figment wanted one last sweet dessert. So, he ordered the beignets! They came with yummy chocolate dipping sauce. A very good way to end a vacation!

Baked Potato Soup- Hole reason going to Carnation Cafe and we were all disappointed by the taste and size of this.

What in the world is this? Did they change this signature dish? This looks nothing like the soup we have seen so many times in the past.

I thought the same thing when I saw the picture! I remember it being topped with real bacon bits, chopped green onions, and sour cream as well as cheese when I had it last time. That's why it was called "loaded" baked potato soup. I really hope they didn't change this dish because it's probably my favorite food item at DLR!

I guess it depends on what you eat! I prefer my favorites at WDW. 1/2 rotisserie chicken meal, parmesan chicken meal, the variety of Dole Whip flavors and all the different TS places.

Wow, see how different opp-ions are, I am just on the other side. The choices and food are so much more at WDW, and IMO the food Is way,way better as far as with In are,plus WDW just Is bigger to so that might be why to. Still in quality, I still have to fall back to WDW. At DL it seems they just serve food, at WDW its food and a experience.

you're joking, right?

If not, I would respectfully suggest that you are not taking advantage at some wonderful restaurants at WDW. 'Ohana, Boma, Biergarten, Yachtsman, LaCellier.....more than I can count.

If you are talking about counter service, both are about equal and not that impressive either place.

 

[jsebsirois]

Gosh, I never imagined I would create a debate here haha!

I have to agree that some options at Disney World are very very good but I think I prefer the overall offering over at Disneyland.

As far as Le Cellier is concern, I'm canadian and I can say that the cheddar soup was the worst thing I ever had at Disney World!

With that being said, I think we should start another thread for the debate and go back to the reason of this thread : Disneyland Food Pictures!

Thanks for sharing your opinions guys!

Its all good there really Is no debate because everyone has there Favorites, likes and dis likes. Its all good, you just brought up a point. Matter of fact Dis has a board just relating to WDW restaurants and foods for that matter. When at DL/CA i only eat In the Parks,DTD and the Garden walk and the surrounding areas. If its Disney and there friends it has to be good

I could not agree more. DL has 5 character dining options in the entire resort. There is some fine dining options in New Orleans Square, and a few more CA Adventure, but the rest of it is counter service( fast food). There are no in between experiences ( Not counter, not overpriced fine dining) like in DW such as 50's Prime Time Cafe and Liberty Tavern. You can pay an arm and a leg for soup and a disgusting, greasy Monte Cristo, or you can pay $5.00 for a tasty, albeit previously frozen, Chimichanga. My experience with the character buffets at DL have been nice, but the food at those experiences was much tastier and higher quality at DW.
I don't know why Disney Land could not put a Biergarten style German buffet in Fantasy Land, or a 50's Prime Time Cafe on Buena Vista Street. DL could really learn from DW in terms of food!

I also prefer the food at Disneyland. The fact that there are fewer character meals is a plus. WDW has way too many. WDW has a hard time with fresh produce and while there are some nicely themed restaurants at WDW, the food is usually not of the same caliber. We are DVC members and eat at very few WDW restaurants anymore. The quality and has declined and the prices have gone up. I wouldn't describe 50's Prime Time, Sci Fi or any character meal as fine dining. Yuck!

I am sorry, about your feelings of WDW dinning,but where at DL would you say Is better then at WDW? just asking and I mean at DL (and CA,DTD, and throw In Garden walk) it self. Dont even have to go fine dinning, just asking maybe we can both find better places
