I'm anxiously trying to plan our dining for a trip at the end of the month, and seeing some food pics all in one place is helpful, that's! That Tiger Tail treat looks fantastic!

Sophiesmom:

The pic of your daughter with the mickey ice cream sandwich -- SUCH a great pic of her, she's a cutie

Question on the chicken dinners -- Plaza Inn right? Was that one order each or did you split one order?

I've never tried of the holiday turkey sandwich -- looks interesting, I may have to give that a try!

Thanks for sharing - great pics and reviews!

Sophiesmom:

Question on the chicken dinners -- Plaza Inn right? Was that one order each or did you split one order?

Not Sophiesmom, but having been to Plaza Inn myself, I can say that is clearly two orders of the chicken dinner. The chicken plate there has 3 pieces of chicken, a scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy, a serving of green beans, and one biscuit. You can make requests such as asking for all drumsticks or replacing your green beans with a second scoop of mashed potatoes or no gravy or gravy on the side and so on. We often find that two plates will feed our family of four. Now that DS13 is starting to really EAT though, we may need to start ordering three chicken dinners.

Here are a few reviews I will start with the earliest first (MAY 2013) so that way people can still go and order the most current items. I would be happy to answer any questions so just let me know if you have a question

We ate almost ever day in the park however I didn't always get pics, the first pic was from the HUNGRY BEAR:



This thing was so very good, the Hungry Bear offers these seasonal pies and I first had ordered a Strawberry Pie and it was not good so I exchanged it for the Chocolate Pie and I was so glad that I did. The top was like a moose and the bottom was like a hard pudding. I would highly recommend this!

We also ate the Fried Green Tomato sandwich and it was everything that everyone has said it is. Wonderful, flavorful, fresh and crispy! Such great choice and I would highly recommend this as well. My husband has the cheeseburger and just said it was ok. My little one also had the mac and cheese and fyi the toddler meal is very small so just be prepared.

Then we went over to Adventureland and to the TIKI ROOM:



I had never ordered a Dole Whip Float and this was on my Disneyland bucket list. It was good but I didn't love it, I think it was just a pineapple overload. I would not order this again but I would however order the Dole ice cream soft serve as it was really refreshing and such a unique flavor.

Then near the HUB, we got this:



What can I say its an ice cream bar. Its good but not over the top good. I think we enjoyed the chocolate dip cone over at the Cozy Cone a bit better but that was not really outstanding either.

This was at the BOARDWALK PIZZA AND PASTA place:



This was the sun dried tomato pasta and all I can say is YUCK! I took this back and got this:



Much much better! The pasta sauce and the noodles where pretty standard but I really loved the meatballs. Such a spicy interesting flavor that was really a good satisfying portion I could only finish half of this.

Was also tried the BIG THUNDER RANCH BBQ:



This was one of my favorite meals and the first time we had tried this restaurant! The chicken was very good and juicy and the sausage had a great flavor, we didn't really like the ribs so we ordered seconds of the chicken and sausage only. The cornbread was very good! The coleslaw was a bit funny for me but it wasn't really bad. The beans where also very good but I would have preferred then not be vegetarian and had some meat added to them. The ambiance was also nice with the country singers interacting with all the tables. I think the price was $27.99 for dinner but I thought it was a fine price and we will be going back here next time we visit.

BLUE BAYOU and the famous chicken gumbo:



Yummy I loved the soup and its just so quintessential to Disneyland. We go to the BB every time we come to DL however we just come for the ambiance and not the food but this time I am glad to say since their new menu change the quality of the food is much better! Sorry I didn't get a picture of the Chicken dish but I order it every time and this time it was a thousand time better then the last 3 times I have ordered it. The chicken was so nice and tender and juicy and the most wonderful tangy but savory flavor. If you have been here and didn't like it I would give it another try!

This was also from the BLUE BAYOU but at Halloween time (OCT 2012):



It was a vanilla (but it was colored orange) and chocolate mouse with a crumbly bottom and it was soooo good. It was served in a Donald Duck cup but the dessert just came out of a plastic cup inside and it just lifted out so the cup was not dirty and I could take it home clean. Would highly recommend this during Halloween time!

We also stopped into RALPH BRENNAN'S JAZZ KITCHEN (OCT 2012):



This was so very good and I think it was called the Chocolate Souffle and it was amazing. The dinner here I don't really recall being memorable but this was! It was so nice and crispy on the outside but so nice and pudding like on the inside and it also came with a side of white chocolate that you could drizzle over. Just an FYI it takes quite a while to make so if you want to order it make sure you do it before or when you order your entree. It also is a bit pricey but it might be good to try at least once.

This last one is not at Disneyland but worth and honorable mention especially if you drive down to DL from the North, PEA SOUP ANDERSON'S:



This pea soup is so very good and I would highly recommend this. It was so good and so creamy, yummy! They have two locations and we visited the one in Santa Nella.


Hope this helps others when planning out meals at Disneyland sorry most of them where desserts but you can see what I love most at DL, lol

That was the double chocolate bread pudding. I finally tried this recently and really, really enjoyed it. It is pricy but was worth it to me as a special treat to share with DH.

That Hungry Bear pie looked really yummy too. You said you got that this month? Any idea how long it's expected to be there. I would love to try it.

I tend to go a little overboard on the desserts while I'm on a DL vacation too as you might be able to tell by my interest in your pictures and descriptions.

May I ask if the tacos had double tortillas on them? How were they?

I've never had these, but fish tacos usually have double tortillas, for some reason.

Our family enjoyed the same pie while we were at the hungry bear in March (I only took a pic with my phone and not my regular camera, which is why I didn't post one). It has a pie crust, and then brownie on the bottom. Then it has chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and the chocolate beads. So good! I hope it is still there for you. The other pie choice in March was strawberry-rhubarb.

Thanks! I've never had them that way but we can be backwards here in the boonies

LOL, the desserts are one of my favorite things about going to Disneyland!

We got it at the beginning of this month so I would guess that they would still have it. This was probably my favorite food item this trip well other then the banana french toast at Storytellers. Have a great time when you do go to Disneyland and make sure you takes pics of the food you get especially the desserts

Sorry, just saw this! I really liked the fish tacos - they were relatively light, and I'm glad they came with four lime wedges. And yep, they had double tortillas.

There are even more pics from DL (including some from Napa Rose) in my dining report.

It was only during Valentine's Day . DS2's Bday is the day after so we were there on V-day and the next day. It was delish! Chocolate cake (super moist! Sooooo lovely!) and a mousse like frosting that had a chocolate coating on it. The frosting wasn't buttercream and it wasn't whipped cream it was a beast in of itself. And it was a GIANT cupcake (as big as a soda can)!! It had glitter in it and pink chocolate shavings with a chocolate flowers and hearts. I got ours at the Pacific Warf Cafe but saw them pretty much everywhere they sold desserts. I only wished I bought more than one. I've gone back a couple times after and cannot find a cupcake that can compare. And I am one picky cupcake mama!
