My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[FFerret]

Sorry, but Figment has not tried the fried green tomato sandwich. He has heard good things about it (and about Hungry Bear, in general). Here is one review that Figment saw online a while ago... http://www.mouseplanet.com/9574/The_Delicious_Relaunch_of_Hungry_Bear

So glad you posted this!!!!
Really looking forward to that FGT Sammie and lemon cupcake.
Please give Figment a pat on the head for me

Conference Breakfast at the Grand Californian

 

[belle'ssister]

We will have lunch a Cafe Orleans on 4/17 and I won't even have to look at the menu. Just a few more days until we meet up with the Monte Cristo again! And the fries..... yeah!

Can you tell me what is on the plate with the fruit. Thanks.

Can you tell me what is on the plate with the fruit. Thanks.

The Monte Cristo is served with a side of fruits and a small container of berry puree. Are you asking about which fruits are served?

 

[lucysmom]

Thanks Figment! The fried Tom sandwich review gives me a better idea about this sandwich. I think I am going to have to try it.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what the sandwich was from that angle. Thought it was a donut thing.

The Monte Cristo and we were not fans. It was like a sandwich on a donut. Now I know lots of people love this, but it did not wow us at all. we shared the sandwich and probably only ate half of it. Much too sweet.

Sadly these fish sticks were not very good at all.

Jenseib, we sometimes feel the same way you do, about the Monte Cristo!

It all depends on(for us, anyway), if it comes out hot, and also if it hasn't taken on half of the oil it was deep fried in---YUCK!

There are times when we've felt it was disgusting, and other times when it was light, well cooked, piping hot, and basically pretty much "to die for!"

Having said all that, we could never eat an entire one of these ourselves---they are best split(in our opinion)!

If you brush the powdered sugar off, and don't dip it in the jam, it takes the whole "sweetness" thing down a couple of notches!

good to know. We did split it and I totally skipped the jam. it was just kind of strange to me. I am glad that I tried it too.

Is this the actual WOC menu if you get the WOC package? Is this lunch or dinner?

Finishing up Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Figment Goes to Disneyland for Mardi Gras!

In addition to the table service and counter service meal at Disneyland Resort, Figment also loves the snacks! There are so many yummy snacks to choose from.

Cozy Cones - Red’s Apple Freeze – Frozen apple juice is a souvenir Carsland Cup. Figment likes frozen slushie drinks, so he wanted to try the Red’s frozen apple juice. When it was still frozen it tasted pretty good; fairly sweet, but yummy. Once it melted, it was overly sweet apple juice. So in the future, Figment will make sure to drink this up before it melts!

Tiki Bar – Dole Whip Float – This is one of Figment’s favorites drink in DLR (and WDW). It’s soft serve pineapple Dole Whip with pineapple juice. So yummy!

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor – Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae – Two scoops of vanilla ice cream two chocolate chip cookies, and hot fudge! It was huge! (And very yummy!)

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor – Rootbeer Float – Figment has to admit that one of the main reasons he wanted to go to Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor was to see if they did really have a souvenir glass. Guess what…they did! It’s basically the same size as the one at Carsland, but with the Gibson Girl logo on it. The rootbeer float was also good!

Coke Corner – Chili Cheese Hot Dog Basket – Figment likes the hot dogs at Disneyland, so getting one from Refreshment Corner (aka Coke Corner) is a tradition for him.

Royal Street Veranda – Apple Fritters with Dipping Sauce and Louisiana Lemonade with Glow Cube – both of these items were being featured for Mardi Gras, so Figment had to try them. The fritters were tasty, but they would probably have tasted better when they were still piping hot (Figment wait a bit too long to eat them, so they were more like room temperature). The Louisiana Lemonade was good (mixture of Minute Maid Lemonade, Sprite, and mango and raspberry flavoring) and the glow cubes were a fun souvenir.

Candy Palace – Sorcerer Mickey Apple – It’s become a tradition for Figment to pick-up a caramel apple to take home with him. This time he picked the Sorcerer Mickey apple. It was an apple dipped in caramel and milk chocolate. Very sweet, but good and one last “snack” from Disneyland.

Figment took a few photos of some snacks he didn’t eat, but thought were cute.
Pooh’s Corner – Rice Crispy Honey Pot

Pooh’s Corner – Honey Pot Caramel Apple

Pooh’s Corner – Tigger Tail

Pooh’s Corner, Candy Palace – Cake Pops

Napa Rose

I was really looking forward to eating here since it is one of the few "signature" type restaurants in DL and read great reviews on it. My son was really looking forward to it too. He's 15, but a real foodie! [/COLOR]

Bread Service
I tried to limit how much bread I ate so I had room for my dinner, but it was so good!!


Signature Pizzetta of "La Quercia" Smoked American Prosciutto Red Flame Grapes, Caramelized Onions, and Cambozola Cheese

Loved this!! My son said it was one of the best pizzas he's ever had. All the flavors worked well together and the crust was nice and crisp


Morel Mushroom Risotto Accented with Imported Truffle Butter

This was on the appetizer menu but my son ordered it as an entree since he loves risotto. It was so creamy and delicious.


[B]Petit Filet of Angus Beef Tenderloin[/B]

This was absolutely fantastic!! I've had the filet at just about every DW signature restaurant and California Grill had been my favorite, but this was even better. It was so incredibly tender and flavorful. It came with potatoes Au gratin potatoes that were delicious, but not enough


Heavenly chocolate goodness!!!!!

Southern Garlic Cheese BreadBasil, Mozzarella, Rosted Garlic, and Olive Oil Pureé

This was really good!! It had a nice kick of garlic. Just the right amount of greasy

My son loves cheese steak, so he got...

[/B]
He said it was the best cheese steak he ever had. Of course I had to try it out and check for myself It was VERY good! The meat was so tender. I would definitely get it again. We substituted the fries with jalapeno bacon potato salad because I wanted to try the potato salad. I didn't even ask him...I'm such a great mom! He loved the potato salad unfortunately, so I didn't get much darn-it.

I ordered the sandwich of the day...

Mini brioche sandwiches with pulled pork, fried salami, pickle, and mustard with lemon herb chips

These were pretty good. Simple, but good. The chips were really good too. My son got even and had a lot of them!

He wasn't really interested in sharing anything on the dessert menu, so I ordered for myself


Lemon Ice Box PieRaspberry Coulis, chantilly cream

I mistakenly convinced my son to give this a try. He decided he really liked it, so I had to speed up as he went to town on this! It was a perfect ending to the meal. So light (tasting) and refreshing. Not light in calories I'm sure!

All in all...a very satisfying meal. After we left, we stopped by EoS and got my favorite peanut butter brownie sandwich to save as a healthy breakfast the next morning

I also picked up the pb sandwich at the candy shop that I was dying to try. They dont have it at DW. Soooo delicious

I was really looking forward to trying this after reading such good things on here about it. It did not disappoint. I loved it!! So flavorful and satisfying. A nice change. The sweet potato fries were also delicious.

Onion Rings

These were SOOO good! The batter was light and crispy. I sent my son up to get a 2nd order!

Pioneer Chili CheeseburgerAngus 1/3 lb. Chuck Burger with Home-style Chili, Cheese and a hand-battered Onion Ring

My son got this. I tried to talk him into the crispy chicken because I wanted to try it!! He was happy with it.

I could wait to try the bumblebee cupcake and the little pies I saw reviews on. I was told they stopped selling the pies a while ago :-(

This was really adorable!! You would expect to find a cupcake like this at a counter service restaurant. It was really yummy!! The cake was moist and the filling was lemony and refreshing. The frosting tasted like a light cheesecake.

Thanks for sharing!! Everything looks so good!!!

I'm so upset I forgot about the Lemon cupcake on our trip!

The FGT sandwich was awesome though. I loved Hungry Bear!
