My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

I didn't want to make a new thread for this so I'm asking here! :)

Does anyone know what time Whitewater Snacks closes?

Can you enter the Grand Californian hotel through the entrance inside California Adventure? (even if you're not staying at the GCH?)

And lastly, is it 5 dollars to split a meal at Blue Bayou for dinner? And does each diner receive either the salad or gumbo?

Thanks :goodvibes

I don't know about 1 or 2, but I can tell you that I'm pretty sure the split plate fee at Blue Bayou is $12, and yes, you each get your own salad or gumbo. :)
 
Yes, anyone can use the entrance into the GCH near GRR. In the early mornings, they check for key cards for entering only. But my late morning, they don't care who goes in or out. WhiteWater Snacks closes early. I want to say 6 or 7 pm.
 
Wow. After seeing your pics disneynerd I'm pretty positive I could easily eat 17 pounds of food at Goofy's. The only weird thing that I noticed was the pancakes right next to the mac and cheese lol but, hey, I like both, so who am I to judge their placement ;)

$12! :eek: Oh my! Do you get a little bit more of the portions or something? :confused:
Thank you!

Thank you!

Yeah....no. They do double up the sides, as well as two salads or two gumbos so it's more food but mostly I think you're paying for the kitchen to divide it up for you. I've read several times that if you order one meal and ask for the extra plate to divide it yourselves, there is no charge. But then there is also no second salad or gumbo. ;)
 
Breakfast Potatoes and Another scramble with what appears to have sausage in it.

It's linguicia or something with some spice. I loved both these dishes along with my omelet and the mickey pancakes!
 
Thanks for posting the Goofy's kitchen pictures - it looks fantastic! We have booked for breakfast next week and now I absolutely cannot wait!!! Which meal is it that you took those amazing pics of? Surely it can't be the breakfast with huge selection???

Ah, I see.
Thank you for that info!

That was the breakfast or "brunch" as they refer to it. I took these pics at 7:00 AM on a wednesday morning.


I hope you enjoy, I love Goofy's. I just made PS for a weekend trip in Dec!
 
Okay I didn't take many pictures because my inlaws were with us and I didn't want to look completely crazy :rotfl:

First off, the negative. Red Rockets Pizza Port has gone WAY downhill, to the point we were embarrassed we dragged my inlaws there. It used to be the highlight of our trip and this time it was a nightmare. The Marsinara is no longer two HUGE meatballs, but six tiny ones that maybe would have as much meat as one of the old ones. The sauce was runny, and we waited so long for the kids meals that ours all got cold and we had to get new ones. This was by far the worst food I've ever had in the park. Wine Country Trattoria was okay, not horrible but not great.

Other than that everything was pretty good. The room service at the Grand was wonderful. I didn't take pictures but the burgers we ordered were massive. Story Tellers was also very good. We went for Dinner one night and had the buffet, it had wonderful salmon and chicken. Breakfast was also good, they were out of micky waffles and it was almost lunch so they brought us a platter to the table.

Cafe Orleans was also great, my husband got the monte christo and I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy it was. I got the blackened chicken caesar and it was excellent but too large to finish. The pomme frittes were outstanding, although I would ask for a second sauce. The great thing was with my oldest who has autism they brought him out some plain fries :)

Carnation cafe was absolutely wonderful. I got the potato soup and it was splendid. Oscar the head chef was making the rounds and I complimented him on it and he looked at me and asked "can you make this?" and I said no, and he asked "well why not?" and I said I didn't have the recipe so he went and got me a copy then spent a good 10 minutes explaining exactly how to make it then signed it:) It was great.

We also enjoyed Goofy's of course, and whitewater snacks, and tomorrow land Terrace. Really everything outside Red Rockets (which in case you skimmed the beginning was TERRIBLE) was really good.

Now for the few pictures I took.

A bacon Cheeseburger from Tomorrowland Terrace. My DH and I easily shared this.

Some Candy from the Candy Store in Downtown Disney:

And just one more thing because it did have some food in it. It was the halloween candy bucket we ordered for the kids. It had cookies, taffy, pez, handmade suckers, m&m minis, and some other candy in it. My sons used the buckets for trick or treating. My oldest is now sleeping with his and is acting a little bit like Golem with it haha.

We are planning our first Disneyland trip for next year - these pictures are adding to my excitement!

Is Goofy's a character meal for all meals or just breakfast?

THANK YOU all! I am definitely subscribing to this thread and hope to add my own pics next year! :goodvibes
 
It is open for breakfast and dinner. I think it is opens at 7 AM until 1 PM every day except Saturday which I believe is until 2 PM. Then it opens again for dinner at 5 PM. Our last visit we had dinner. It was very, very good. Prime Rib, mexican foods, pizza...gosh I can't remember all the food it had. There was alot, and it was delicious.

FYI - Storyteller's always brings platters of the Mickey waffles to the tables - they are not actually set out as part of the buffet, so they're always warm and fresh to your table :thumbsup2

Those Halloween buckets are too cute!

Oh that's awesome :) I really enjoyed that restaurant for the food. There weren't a ton of characters, but we noticed there were less at Goofy's than when we went in 2006 too though.
