My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

Doubloons must refer to the chocolate coins that come with the check.

The real desserts are key lime pie and creme brulee. Anyone know if they've started serving to cookie boat again?

Was there last week and still no cookie boat - no mention of it either. Might be gone for a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time.

Tortilla soup from Rancho del Zocalo...the different colors of tortillas made this really pretty!:

Was the soup tasty? I think I'd like to try it on upcoming trip!

It was good, but the texture was a little...slimy Or maybe it's just because I'm used to a more "authentic" Mexican chicken soup.

Yay! Food porn is back!



We're going to have to hit the La Palma Pie House, $6.75 for a whole dinner, and you get all that? My DP LOVES pot pies and mashed potatoes. That's worth a 20-30 minute drive, or perhaps we can hit it when we're in the neighborhood. Love living near DLR!

AFAIK, current desserts are Chocolate cake, Creme Brulee, and Pecan Pie (really a torte).

Yep, you get all that! If I lived nearby, I'd end up weighing 877653628292923872474282492024024 pounds, and they'd have to put me on the rides with a forklift, due to all the pot pie dinners

Kinda off topic but anyone know if they sell the wonderful monte cristos at WDW? If so, where?

Was just curious if anyone has seen my cousin lately--she is the lead hostess for Blue Bayou. Her name is Annemarie and she's been working there 30 years or so. She used to have red curly hair and lots of freckles
She's a second cousin and I'd love to see her when I'm there. Guess I'll call my Aunt to get in touch.

From what I have read recently, it is not available at WDW anymore. It is DL exclusive!

I have been on the search for a monte cristo at WDW and to the best of my knowledge there is no on site restaurant (ts or cs) anywhere that offers it. Too bad, I wish they would. I love love love the monte cristo at DL.

We (DH, DS(8) and I) dined at Napa Rose at 5:30pm on April 6th. We sat at the chef's counter and Chef Alex Scopa prepared our meals for the evening. Juan was our server, who did an excellent job!

I failed to ask for a copy of the menu at the end of evening, might have had something to do with adding the wine pairings , but will do my best for those not found on the allears menu that is posted.
