My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[amyamya]

Oh, it is called the Tiny Diner and it was really convenient. It has a little pocket and it just hangs off the edge of the table and was really easy to clean and then it rolls up when you are done with it. I think a company called kiddopotamus or something makes it, but my sister in law said they sell it at Babies R Us and Toys R Us or you can order them online.

I just looked in the One Step Ahead catalog from today's mail and it's in there, too. Thanks, I plan to get one!

My birthday beignet from Cafe Orleans. I love the gesture, and it was delicious. We'd ordered the beignets not expecting this, and everyone got jealous when we realized that mine some how tasted better than the order we'd gotten to share.

DD5 with a Tigger Tail from Pooh Corner

DD10 and I with a Dole whip float and a Dole whip, respectively. Yum!

And of course, no Pooh Corner photos are complete until you include one of someone trying to eat a Tigger Tail!!

Turkey leg from DCA

Yummy Smoothie from The Rainforest Cafe

Make your own sundae from the Disney Soda Fountain.

You either love it or you hate it! The Monte Christo.

Oh my gosh! Those strawberries are making my mouth water! Those look great! Especially the almond covered ones! Oh! And that sundae, wow!

First of all, THANK YOU FOOD THREAD! We made a lot of our dining plans following the advice and recommendations on this thread, and had the best Disney trip, food-wise, that we have ever had.

Now, the food:

Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans:

Pommes Frites, which I liked but I thought they needed more salt:

Chicken ceaser salad and french onion soup:

Drinks at the Lounge at the Grand Californian:

Glowtini:

Nachos and steak quesadilla at ESPN zone. The food there was so good we went back!

Chicken alfredo lasagna at Wine Country Trattoria:

I've heard a lot of people talking about them; but what is a Glowtini?

 

[Queenbillabong]

The Glowtini is a cocktail inspired by the Year of a Million Dreams celebration at Disney. Served at restaurants all over Disney World, it consists of Skyy Citrus Vodka, Blue Curacao, peach schnapps, Sweet-N-Sour, and pineapple juice garnished with a souvenir glow cube.

I just saw some pretty terrible reviews of the food at the Blue Bayou which about broke my heart...no use going if the food is bad. Anyone have a more postive review? Thought I'd have the Crab Cakes and might take DD into the Montie Christo sandwich and then we'd share.

But the Napa Rose sure looks like it would be the best place around to dine....YUM. And how about Brennan's Jazz...the food LOOKS good, but has anyone gone recently????

 

[AmericanItGirl]

Being a foodie, the BB is worth the money imo if you take all factors into account (like you're not just paying for the food, but also for the atmosphere, and it's Disney, not the French Laundry). The food is good (not world's best...except the cookie part of the Cookie Boat...perfect amount of fresh-from-the-oven gooeyness that I have yet to see replicated). Dessert alone is worth going for. The Monte Cristo was delicious, but too rich for me to devour a full half-serving, so I don't know if you'd want to do the crab cakes AND the Monte Cristo. I say, go because it's one of those do it once for the sake of doing it, even if you opt for just dessert.

We have always been pleased with the food at BB. Somedays are better than others but we have never had a time when the food was not good. The only negative thing we have ever noticed is that they can be slow sometimes because they are so busy. I just try to remind everyone that we are on vacation, so what's the hurry. Plus you get a chance to relax and take in the atmosphere. AmericanItGir is correct that it is worth going for dessert alone. My favorite is the Creme Brulee! YUM!

 

[AmericanItGirl]

Agreed about "slow" service, some may hate that things aren't done with a militant speed and efficiency, but I'm grateful to be able to sit down and not have staff breathing down my neck trying to rush me along so that the table can be freed up for others.

We went to the Vineyard Room this past weekend for our anniversary. Forgot to take pictures of our apps & main course because the PPP was going by. But here are pics of the desserts:

I love your pics KerTggr! What is the first one? Whatever they are they look drool-worthy.

We went to Ralph Brennan's walk in counter service side March 2007 and we really enjoyed the food. Especially breakfast. But their popcorn shrimp is good too.

Holy Cow! Those both look amazing!

The 1st one was part of the 3 course dinner. It was a wine soaked pear and vanilla bean gillato (sp?) over a piece of spice cake.

The second was a chiffon cake with a creme topping - brule like. Then lots of pieces of yummy fruit. The whole thing was amazing!

Holy Cow! Those both look amazing!

They totally were. My husband finished off the pear one and I got about 1/3 of the way through the tropical one.

It wasn't that great, as alcoholic drinks go. The pink and white one (I forget what it was called, it had strawberries and pina colada mix in it) was unbelievable, though.

On the upside, now I have a glowy "ice cube".
