Picnic Salad from Hungry Bear. Smoked turkey breast, strawberries, feta cheese, cranberries, roasted almonds, jicama, mixed greens, with a strawberry vinaigrette. This was very good. It would be perfect in summertime sitting in the shade at HB. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold the day we were there and even though it was yummy, I was wishing I had gotten a soup from Harbour Galley instead. Also, I miss the Honey Bee cupcake from Hungry Bear so much it hurts.
First Order Specialty Burger from the Galactic Grill. Angus beef and chorizo patty, fried cherry peppers, and spicy-lime aioli on a dark bun. (Sorry not the best picture). This was my husband's and he was too cheap to get it in the souvenir Han Solo Carbonite box. It was...interesting. He got the aioli on the side and we actually dipped our french fries in it, it had a similar flavor to the remoulade that they serve with the pommel frites at Cafe Orleans. I wasn't brave enough to try a bite of the burger (not a big fan of spicy food). I got the plain Cheese-3P0 burger (no picture) and thought it was pretty bad.

Is the burger at the galactic grill the same as they serve at HB (or other places in the park)? They aren't the best but we are hoping it's the same so our picky eaters will be ok lolPicnic Salad from Hungry Bear.

I actually haven't eaten any other burgers in the park, so I'm not sure. The cheeseburger I had was a plain patty, cheese. lettuce, tomato and a thousand island dressing (I asked for no dressing). I believe it was a plain bun as well. It was fine, but I would haver preferred a McDonald's or Wendy's burger from their value menus more.

Light Side drink from Galactic Grill. It's green apple flavored lemonade with yogurt balls...sort of like boba tea in concept. It was yummy. I hope they keep it around even after Season of the Force is through...I drank several whilst on my trip last week.

With all the Star Wars stuff everywhere, when I read this (rather quickly, I may add), I started laughing because I read (incorrectly) the drink was green apple flavored lemonade with Yoda balls. I had to re-read it and realized my error.

Figment's Diamond Sparkling Christmas Trip to Disneyland Resort
Figment is having a very lucky year, going to Disneyland Resort so many times to experience the Diamond Anniversary Celebration! This time, he got to see Disneyland when two celebrations collide (to borrow from the Haunted Mansion Holiday): the Diamond Anniversary Celebration and Holiday Time! As with HalloweenTime, some of the historic Holiday decor and acivities were missing (e.g., the Big Thunder Ranch Holiday Carnival) and some of the Diamond Celebration was still missing (e.g., the blue bunting on Main Street), but for the most part, it was a fun mixture!
For Figment's reviews of the Holidays, please visit Figment's HolidayTime Trip Reports, 2015.
Now onto the dining...
Big Thunder Ranch BBQ, Lunch
Figment is still sad that the BBQ is closing for good on January 10, 2016, so he decided to have one last meal there! He's hopefully that the BBQ included on the RBT's new menu will be the same as at the BBQ (even though it won't be AYCTE anymore). The BBQ was decorated for the holidays (one last time!).
Figment went for lunch, which includes chicken and ribs, along with corn bread, baked beans, and coleslaw. Everything was really good. The ribs and chicken are a little messy, but so tasty! He made sure to eat a lot because this was his last chance!
Carnation Cafe, Lunch
Figment had lunch at Carnation Cafe. He even saw Oscar, who was making the rounds of the tables greeting guests!
Loaded Baked Potato Soup - Bacon, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Sour Cream, and Chives. This is one of Carnation Café’s signature items. Figment really likes this soup and was glad it was cold enough outside to make hot soup sound good (hot soup and 90+ weather didn't really go we.l on the last few trips!). As always, this soup was very good!
Deep Fried Pickle Spears - Dill Pickle Spears dipped in Parmesan and Panko, Fried Golden Brown and served with a House Sauce. This is Figment’s favorite appetizer at Carnation Café and he gets it every time he goes to Carnations. The pickles are nice and crispy on the outside and dilly on the inside. Yum!
Walt's Favorite Homemade Meatloaf - Our special blend of Beef and Pork served with Ketchup Glaze, Mashed Potatoes, Mushroom Gravy, and Seasonal Vegetables. Figment really liked the flavor of the meatloaf and it's become one of his favorite things to have at Carnation Cafe (along with the soup and the pickles).
Dessert and Souvies - Figment was too full from lunch to have dessert, but the entry stand did feature a yummy looking multi-layer cake. Carnation Cafe also had the Elf Mickey Stein and the Christmas Lightbulb Glow Cube.

Continuing with Figment's Diamond Sparkling Christmas Trip to Disneyland Resort...
Carthay Circle, Dinner
Figment had dinner at Carthay Circle on evening. He had mixed feelings about the meal. As always, the fried biscuits were outstanding and he could easily eat several portions all by himself. The other dishes were less successful...some because the flavors were unexpected, others because they just weren't as good as in the past. All in all, Figment thinks it might be time to give Carthay Circle a bit of a break and try some other places for a bit.
The Menu - Carthay Circle was featuring their winter menu, which had a lot of hearty entree items.
Bread Service - The meal starts with some slices of sourdough bread.
Carthay Signature Fried Biscuits - Stuffed with White Cheddar, Bacon, and Jalapeño with Apricot Honey Butter. These are Figment's favorite appetizers in DLR! They are soo good! He could eat all seven by himself.
Winter Squash Minestrone - Roasted Goose, Wild Rice, Butternut Squash, and Cranberries. This sounded like an interesting combination of items, so Figment decided to try the soup. The wait staff forgot to bring the soup, but the server was nice enough to give Figment a small tasting portion of the soup. Overall, Figment was glad he only had the tasting portion. The soup was kind of odd...it was a lot sweeter than he expected. It was okay, but not something he'd order again.
Braised Lamb Shank - Winter Bean Cassoulet, Pancetta, and Minted Honey Pistou. The lamb was nice and tender, with good flavor.
Thick-cut Pork Chop - Winter Squash Coulis, Brussels Sprouts, Pomegranate Gremolata. Figment has had this in the past and really liked it. The flavors were still good, but the pork chop was a bit over-cooked this time (it wasn't very tender).
Carthay Shellfish Cioppino - Royal Shrimp, Black Mussels, Manila Clams, Snow Crab Claws, Ramen Noodles, Lemon Grass, Pineapple, and Scallions. This cioppino was very spicy and not all like anything he was expecting. Figment thought it would be a more traditional tomato based broth, but it wasn't and it was unexpectedly spicy.
PCH Grill "Beach Side Bonfire Dinner Buffet", Dinner
Figment has now been to the bonfire dinner buffet three time since it opened in July. For the most part, things have stayed the same, but there have been some changes. The biggest change he noticed this time was that the pizza is no longer brought to the table and the dessert cones have been reduced to one kind per night.
Littleneck Clams, Chorizo and Potatoes Hash in PCH Grill Signature Broth - This is still Figment's favorite dish at the buffet. The clams were very flavorful, as was the hash. It was not spicy, but it was very rich in flavor. So yummy!
Shrimp Scampi with Cavatappi Pasta - Figment liked this dish; the shrimp was good (not over-cooked) and the pasta was fine.
Magherita Pizza - The pizza had moved to the buffet line, but other than that, it was the same as before. Figment thought it was good and he enjoyed this thin-crusted pizza.
Green Beans with Sauteed Shallots and Veggie Kabobs - Figment really likes the green beans. They have good flavor and are still slightly crunchy!
Heirloom Tomato-Mozzarella Tossed in Creamy Pesto & Aged Balsamic Reduction Finished - This was still Figment's favorite salad. It was a lot like caprese salad, but with kalmata olives and a creamy pesto sauce.
Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake - This was the seasonal dessert. Figment isn't really a fan of pumpkin or cheesecake, so he skipped it. Still, it did look pretty.
Fresh Fruit Kabobs - A nice and light dessert.
Milk Chocolate Carmel Tart with Bacon Brittle - Figment keeps trying this dessert, hoping he'll like it more, but it's still too sweet (and that's saying something because he loves chocolate).
Brioche Fresh Fruit Pizza - Figment had high hopes for this dessert "pizza", but it was awful. The bread was soggy and the fruite part reminded him slightly of cough syrup. Alas, this is one thing he won't be trying again.
Seasonal Berry Cobbler - The cobbler was okay, but the topping was really good.
Make Your Own S'Mores - Housemade marshmallows (regular, coconut, and strawberry), chocolate sauce and graham crackers. Figment thinks this is one of the best desserts at the buffet, especially the strawberry marshmallows. They're really good!
Vanilla Mousse with Mandarin Orange Compote Mini-Cones - Figment still likes these desserts, but he missed the other two flavors (this was the most bland of the three that were originally offered). They're still a lot of fun to eat!
Make Your Own Strawberry Shortcake - This is another one of the buffet's best desserts. Figment likes strawberry shortcake and he enjoyed making his own. There is even a hidden Mickey in the whipped cream!
Overall, Figment still really likes PCH Grill's Beachside Bonfire Buffet.

Continuing with Figment's Diamond Sparkling Christmas Trip to Disneyland Resort...
Plaza Inn, Dinner
The Plaza Inn is one of Figment's favorite QS locations in DLR. He always gets a couple of chicken dinners to take home with him (they travel suprisingly well).
Fried Chicken - Three pieces of Chicken fried to a golden brown and seasoned with distinctive Herbs and Spices and served with Mashed Potatoes, Buttermilk Biscuit, and Green Beans. This is Figment's favorite dish at the Plaza Inn. The chicken has great flavor and is always very moist. The mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans make great side dishes.
Chocolate Coffee Yule Log – Coffee butter cream filling with chocolate crunch finished with chocolate ganache. This was so good! Figment really liked this yule log, which didn't have over-powering coffee flavor, but it was noticable.
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, Sunday Brunch
Figment usually goes to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen for Sunday Brunch. When the weather is nice, he enjoys sitting out on the patio watching the people go by in DTD while he eats.
Popcorn Calamari - Creole mustard aioli and marinara sauce. Figment usually gets the Bourbon Street Sampler, but this time he decided to just get the calamari because that's his favorite. The calamari as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Yum!
Creole Caesar Salad - Romaine hearts, Roma tomatoes, parmesan cheese, Creole caesar dressing, rosemary ciabatta toast, and sautéed crawfish. Figment really likes this salad and gets it almost every time.
Crab Cakes & Eggs - Creole hollandaise and fresh fruit. This is another one of Figment’s favorite items at Brennan’s. Last time he decided to have fresh fruits instead of the potatoes and they were nice and refreshing so he did that again this time. The fruits were a little out of season, but they were still good.
BBQ Shrimp & Grits - “New Orleans” style BBQ sauce, andouille grits. This is one of Figment’s favorite dishes at Brennan’s and he gets it everytime! Sometimes it's a bit on the spicy side, but it has great flavor.
Storyteller's Cafe, Dinner
Figment usually goes to Storytellers for lunch, but he decided to give dinner a try. At dinner, guests have the choice of a buffet or ordering from the menu.
Menu
Various Dessert Selections from the Buffet - There were several holiday themed desserts on the buffet.
Buffet Plate - The buffet featured chicken, beef, pasta, and vegetables.
Bread Service - Dinner starts with bread service, which includes rolls and yummy corn bread muffins.
Charred Nebraska Corn Chowder - Rotisserie Chicken, Bacon, and Cilantro. This is Figment's favorite soup at Storytellers. It's very rich, but has such good flavor (it's also featured on the buffet).
Chicken Quesadilla - Seasoned Shredded Chicken Breast and Melted Cheese between soft Flour Tortillas served with Guacamole, Salsa, and Anaheim Pepper. The quesadilla had good flavor.
Robusto Flatbread - Topped with Chorizo de Bilbao, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Mozzarella Cheese, and Romesco Sauce. Figment really liked this flatbread. The chorizo was slightly spicy, but it went well with the potatoe slices.

Continuing with Figment's Diamond Sparkling Christmas Trip to Disneyland Resort...
Redd Rockett's Pizza Port, Dinner
Figment headed over to the Pizza Port for dinner one evening. It made a nice staging place (with some slightly covered seating in the back half near the Space Mountain entrance) for having dinner and trying some of the Galatic Grill goodies.
Asian Chicken Salad - Marinated Chicken, Lettuce, Cabbage, Mandarin Oranges and Carrots tossed in a Hoisin-Soy Vinaigrette topped with Sesame Seeds, Toasted Almonds and Won-ton Strips. This is Figment's "go to" salad at Redd Rockett's. He likes the mandarin oranges, the chicken, and the crunchy won-ton strips.
Galactic Grill, Dessert
Figment was curious try some of the dessert offerings at the Galactic Grill...
The Pastry Menace - Eclair filled with Spicy Milk Chocolate. Figment wasn't quite sure what to make of this dessert at first. It was kind of funny looking (like a red and black slug with spikes). He liked the filling, although it's hard to describe the flavor...it wasn't terribly chocolatey, but had a good flavor. The first few bites were too spicy, but the heat built!
Darth By Chocolate - Parfait with dark chocolate ganace, red velvet cake, and chocolate sponge. Figment loved the name of this dessert! The chocolate Darth Vader and lightsaber were a cute touch. The dessert itself was very sweet and very chocolatey. It was yummy!
The Dark Side - All natural Odwalla lemonade and strawberry with a souvenier light up Death Star. Figment wanted to try to the Dark Side drink mainly because he wanted the light-up Death Star (he already has the Millenium Falcon). The drink was pretty good...not to sweet, but not to tart. It went well with the desserts!
TIE Fighter Popcorn Bucket - No, Figment is not joining the Dark Side, but he couldn't resist trying out the TIE Fighter.

figment_jii: Just want to say how much I always enjoy your food pics. Really loved Figment in the popcorn bucket! Very fun picture.
Our family tends to enjoy the same dining locations as Figment. For example, Jazz Kitchen is a favorite of ours, was last there for my birthday in November. We just visited the PCH grill for the dinner buffet on New Year's. Wish I'd gotten to try the shrimp alfredo pasta, but they were out every time I went up there looking for it. My whole family did enjoy the buffet selection and flavors though, so we will probably be back some time.
Wish I'd tried the Darth by Chocolate dessert, but I hesitated because I was really disappointed by the Avenger's themed similar type dessert a while back. Now I know to try this one if it's still there the next time we visit the parks.

The Pastry Menace - Eclair filled with Spicy Milk Chocolate. Figment wasn't quite sure what to make of this dessert at first. It was kind of funny looking (like a red and black slug with spikes). He liked the filling, although it's hard to describe the flavor...it wasn't terribly chocolatey, but had a good flavor. The first few bites were too spicy, but the heat built!
Darth By Chocolate - Parfait with dark chocolate ganace, red velvet cake, and chocolate sponge. Figment loved the name of this dessert! The chocolate Darth Vader and lightsaber were a cute touch. The dessert itself was very sweet and very chocolatey. It was yummy!
The Dark Side - All natural Odwalla lemonade and strawberry with a souvenier light up Death Star. Figment wanted to try to the Dark Side drink mainly because he wanted the light-up Death Star (he already has the Millenium Falcon). The drink was pretty good...not to sweet, but not to tart. It went well with the desserts!
TIE Fighter Popcorn Bucket - No, Figment is not joining the Dark Side, but he couldn't resist trying out the TIE Fighter.
Haha, I love the Tie Fighter picture!! And I always love Figment's descriptive reviews!
