My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[DisDancerina]

Oh my!!! I'm sorry I scared you!

For the record, those meat pies look sooooooooooo good! I don't think I'd be able to stop at just a few!

Should I be afraid to look this person up?

hmmmm... I think I will have to go with many others herer and say that the Mint Julep is not my kind of drink! Of course this is someone who did the happy dance when flavors OTHER than mint came out for toothpaste! As for the Tigger Tail.... maybe my daughter will have to try one so I can sneak a taste!
Thanks to all of you. Our trip to DL is this August and I am really enjoying seeing and hearing about all of the best foods!

haha see i'm not a fan of mint so i am not sure why i tried the julep it's like it wasn't clicking that this drink was going be so minty!!! but ugh at least i can say i tried it.

 

[Disneynut71]

While I was in line at the French Market, the guy in front of me warned me NOT to try it.

LOL... No...she's a character from Sweeney Todd....she makes "special" meat pies....because real meat is scarce.

yummmmmm all this food looks great.

I think I'm a bit strange - our trip (our first ever) isn't till next year but already I'm looking up all the food I want to try while I'm there (14days ) alot of the stuff is foreign to me so I'm writing it in a notebook so I remember what I want to try - who would have thought that American food is soooo different to what I eat in New Zealand

Oh how exciting. There are some wonderful books you might get too. Have you read the Disneyland Passporter? That is my favorite.

Here is a website with the menus of the places to eat at the resort. Enjoy.

Oooh Don't think I have read the disneyland passporter (will need to pay another visit to Amazon me thinks )

And yes - I spend alot of time on allears.net Is it wrong to want to laminate the menus and study them hehe

No I have spent countless hours online looking the food and things and this is far from my first visit.

How cool. If I lived near one I'd be there all the time! I wasn't going to post these because they aren't from Disney, but then I thought maybe if anyone going to Disneyland was going to be in the Glendale or Burbank area they might want to try Porto's, so I'll post them anyway. I hope no one minds. I can always take them down if they do.

These are the desserts we got. Creme brulee, raspberry cheesecake and a chocolate dipped strawberry. Below that is the mango mousse. They are really reasonably priced too! Each of these items was only $2.50.

Here are the potato balls. These are really good and cheap too! In with them is one chorizo pie that we got to try. It was ok.

I broke one of the potato balls open so you can see the inside. Sorry they are kind of messy. It's just a light coating of crumbs, with mashed potatoes, and meat. Simple, but delicious.

And of course the meat pies that I could eat several of in one sitting.

The Glendale/Burbank area is about a 45-60 minute drive from DL depending on time of day and of course traffic. We've lived in both Glendale and Burbank which is how I know. So if anyone has car and is out that way, Porto's is definitely worth a stop over.
They have a website too: http://www.portosbakery.com/

Ohhhhhh... Beth. However did you know I was going to Burbank in November? We are SOOO going to check this place out.

You're welcome.


Pssst.... I did not like the Tigger Tails at all, so don't feel so bad. Sssshhhh, don't tell anyone I said that, they might come after me with pitch forks and torches!! LOL

I dnt like them either. Ick. But the fellas do... So does the baby. Ill stick with my Chocolate cashew caramel pretzel thingy, thank you very much!

Oh my, MommaU4, thanks for the info about Porto's...I will definately check them out next time we're in California. I am not a sweets fan, but I do love bread. I checked out the website you linked and man! Those sandwiches look great, but what really sold me was the fact that they sell TAMALES!!! Has anyone tried one from there? You simply cannot get good Mexican food in Virgina.

You are?? Well then I'm glad I posted those after all. While I haven't been to the bakery in Burbank, I'm sure it's similiar. Let me know what you think and what you order.

You're welcome. I cannot say that I've tried the tamales from there, but everything I have tried has been good, so I can't imagine those wouldn't be as well.
If you'll be in CA maybe you can make it down to Olvera Street and stop at Cielito Lindo for some of their taquitos.
They are so good! Here is a link to their website and a pic from our visit there earlier this month:

Ok, now I promise that is the LAST non-Disney food I will post! I don't want to get yelled at.

I WILL!! We are gong to be in Burbank for a convention... So I think a stop by there will totally be in order!

Olvera Street is basically in Downtown L.A. across from Union Station. Here is more info for ya: http://www.olvera-street.com/
I've never had any tamales down there, but the taquitos are fabulous. Olvera Street is really close to Chinatown too, so you could pick up some Mexican and then head over for some Chinese.

Oh my gosh, tamale junkie, that about sums me up, too.

And thanks again, MommaU4, all I can say about your pictures is WOWZERS! You have my tummy growling. Gosh, I haven't been to Olvera Street since I was a little girl and my kids have never been, so I might just have to make that a place to visit next Spring when we come out, of course we never miss Disneyland either! But my daughter and I are definately foodies! So getting some good food while we're out there is a huge part of the fun!

Where are the Nemo cupcakes?

This is a great thread! Thanks!

1. Chicken fussili can be found in Disneyland at Redd Rockett's Pizza Port and in DCA at Pizza Oom Mow Mow. I've only had it in DL and it's good!

2. I've only had the beignets from Jazz Kitchen and I thought those were really good, BUT I've heard the ones from Cafe Orleans are even better. Try both and see which you prefer.

3. Last I read those Nemo cupcakes are "in the Main Street Bakery". Not sure if they mean the Blue Ribbon Bakery or if they are still available. http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=20010684&postcount=288

Hope that helps somewhat.

 

[tholczer]

Thanks so much mommau4! I will try them both and see which ones I like. Can't wait!
