My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[franandaj]

Plaza Inn, Lunch
Fried Chicken Dinner - Fried Chicken, Corn, Mashed Potatoes, Biscuit and Gravy. Figment really likes the Fried Chicken dinner at the Paaza Inn. (You can buy an additional piece of chicken for $4.)

When did they take out the Green Beans and substitute them with Corn? Now it's not a balanced meal anymore, there isn't a green vegetable! I know more people like starches, but that was my favorite balanced meal at the park you got protein, starch and a delicious green vegetable all in one meal!

can I get all white meat at Plaza Inn? Or just breast meat?

 

[figment_jii]

I know we got green beans in May, but corn in August. So the switch happened at some point between those two trips.

The typical meal comes with one breast (w/wing attached), one thigh, and one drumstick. I haven't tried ordering just the breast so I don't know if they'd give you three of them instead or how that would work. I've read that they are usually pretty accommodating, so it's worth asking when you get there. Otherwise, the cost is $4 for an extra piece of chicken (same price regardless of the piece).

I request all white meat regularly and receive two chicken breasts.

Finishing up with...Figment’s Halloween Escapades (October 2016)

Jolly Holiday, Snacks
Chocolate Hazelnut Mickey Macaron and S'Mores Bar - Both of these were very good. The macaron was dense and had a good chocolate flavor. The S'Mores Bar is one of Figment's favorite seasonal desserts. It has a very rich chocolate/caramel center, graham cracker on top, with toasted marshmallow. So good!

Raspberry Macaron & Chocolate Eclair - Two very good year-around items at Jolly Holiday.

Mickey Pumpking Cupcake - This was a very cute cupcake to look at, but it was a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese filling & frosting. It was very pumpkin-y, which was okay, but not one of Figment's favorite HalloweenTime offerings.

Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie - The cake was pretty rich and the filling had a good amount of peanut butter flavor (but had a slightly tangy under-tone, almost as if there was cream cheese involved).

Candy, Treats, & Other Goodies, Various Candy Shops

Mickey Peanut Butter Sandwich & Mickey S'More

The Mickey S'More was pretty good (Figment liked the Peanut Butter Sandwich better). There was a nice amount of chocolate and marshmallow, covered in chocolate.

Chocolate-Caramel Apples - There was quite a variety of chocolate-caramel apples this time. There were the two designs for the Sugar Skulls, Jack Skellington, Mickey Pumpkin, the Evil Queen, the Poison Apple, and Witch Minnie, along with the non-seasonal designs.

Rice Crispie Mickey Treats

Butterscotch Beignets???!?!?!?!?!? Oh my stars and garters. I guess I'm going to have to do an October trip just to get these. My mouth is watering.

Confession : I have NEVER had beignets until this last trip and OMG they were fantastic. I am a huge butterscotch fan and found the powdered sugar amazing, especially since they dumped extra in the bag and would tear open a beignet and scoop more butterscotch powder with it.

I'm not sure but the poison apple one was a decadent rich chocolate almost brownie like but SO GOOD.

The change upset me also, I mean, does a cheaper vegetable than canned corn exist?? It felt like a lame cheap substitution blamed on 'seasonal availability'... The CM acknowledged that there have been lots of complaints... and then said that 'we know nobody likes change'...

I usually forgo the plate and get two chicken breasts and a side salad a la carte. It ends up being cheaper, and the mashed potatoes are not my favorite anyway.

Thanks for posting that this is an option.

Thanks for posting that this is an option.

I've done a la carte as well. One breast piece, mash and a soda was around $10. Not bad!
