My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

I see new posts on this supposed "food porn" thread and get all excited only to find a debate on DL vs. WDW food.

Chicken Alfredo from Red Rockett. It was pretty good, I was surprised! Too much for me to finish.

You forgot to add this in your posting on Dis, but had no problem telling me.
"Start a new thread if you want to discuss that. Let's get back on topic."

I agree Lynzer Torte, people that are yet to visit DL come here to find out valuable information only to see people argue about WDW vs DL. Can we please get back on track!!

 

[FlameGirl]

Seriously. Let's try to avoid getting a very popular 6-1/2 year old thread locked, shall we?

That's not really how it works, I'm afraid. If a thread goes too much off topic, it will be closed. Providing pics/reviews of DL food is what this thread is about. Not a debate about which park has better food.

These are all from late October/early November 2012.

Earl of Sandwich Holiday Sandwich! (I think pretty much available November-December, but this was Halloween) - very good if you like salty and a little sweet together

Pommes Frites from Cafe Orleans - always divine

Mint Julep - very good

Italian Chef Salad from Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta - Reminded me of the salad I loved at the old Pizza Oom Mow Mow, except on real plates

I THINK this is my friend's customized salad from Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta (I kept telling her that it was fine to order one fresh/special, since she didn't like some of the ingredients, and she finally listened)

Gingerbread Mickey (I believe this was from Trolley Treats) - not as good as some others I've had, but I still liked it

Bakery case

Chicken Salad Sandwich from Whitewater Snacks (I didn't notice it had lettuce--ick!) and I believe some sort of cinnamon muffin on the side (I saved it for breakfast; it was messy)

"French Toast" at Flo's (why, why didn't I order this? I love bread pudding)

Apple Cheddar pie at Flo's (kind of dry, but not awful)

Chicken Pesto Alfredo Pasta at Plaza Inn (SO rich and very, very good) (chicken platter in the background)

Dill Pickle Popcone (salty and just a little different; good!) and Red's Apple Freeze (OK but I'm not sure I'd get it again) at Cozy Cones (sorry for the lighting)

Chocolate muffin (i.e. cake) and chocolate milk from Whitewater Snacks

It's a drink made with simple syrup, bourbon, and mint. You either soak the mint, or muddle it into the simple syrup depending on the recipe, add the bourbon and mix. Traditionally it's a southern drink, I always associate it with the Kentucky Derby. It should be light and refreshing (well except for the bourbon

I love the mint julep, after lunch right( i hope from cafe Orleans) about mid day,out on the patio people watching folks with a warm breeze, maybe warm big gets(spell check told me to do this LOL). So good, soo nice

 

[Shegardens]

Neat!

We have a picky eater too, and the past three years in a row, we've visited the Napa Rose chef's counter. Our little prima donna has eaten rabbit and octopus, among other things. All hope is not lost.

Both the Mint Julep Window/Cafe Orleans in Disneyland and Ralph Brennan's Express Kitchen feature a non-alcoholic version of the mint julep. They are slightly different and I like the one at DL better. The DL one is a mixture of creme de menthe, sugar syrup, and other flavorings. It mostly a sweet drink with a slight mint flavor.

This is the one front DL:

This is the one from the Express:

There is a recipe from the one from DL online (non-Disney site). I've tried making it and it's pretty close; there is a slight difference, but it's still good.

Since they don't serve alcohol inside Disneyland, what does their Mint Julep have in it? Does it taste like the real deal?

If the real deal tastes kind of like mint and lemonade, then yes. I'm pretty sure most people don't think the mint juleps are authentic, though.

 

[sophies*mom]

I've heard its a love it or hate it kind of drink. Not sure if I'll try it but its pretty! lol

I've always thought of it more as mint with limeade.
