My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[travelmel]

Grilled achiote citrus-glazed chicken breast, served with chipotle-mashed sweet potatoes, charro beans and roasted corn on the cob topped with chorizo. I had already split the breast.

Was this tasty? How were the lobster nachos? Is that place inside the DCA?

Tortilla Jo's wasn't bad. We had a ton of food there so we were kind of just picking at it towards the end. We really like the lobster nachos, though! And for $12.49 we thought it was a pretty good value for Disney. We got those at the Cove Bar which is located at Arie's Grotto restaurant.

Thank you. I have not been inside AG before. Last time I was there I think it was closed or it seemed like if you didn't have reservations or money for a $39.99 meal then you shouldn't even enter the door. So to get to the Cove you enter the restaurant or is it outside of it?

We ate at Tortilla Jo's Taqueria and did the take out or you can eat at one of the tables out side. The food was pretty good. I had the carnitas nachos with the salsa verde on February 21 and it was pretty good. The nachos at the White Water Snacks in the GCH are really good and preferable to me.

We love the White Water Snacks "chicken nachos" those are incredible!

Can't ... believe ... I read ... the WHOLE thing.

There's a reason I call fall the "eating season." I don't think I'm going to have any room for meals after trying out all the treats next month. I totally want one of the caramel apples (and one of everything else), but I'm not sure if anyone in the family will split it with me.

I think the biggest thing I learned from this thread is that the portions most everywhere are HUGE! Since we plan on snacking between meals, I think I'm going to convince everyone to split things and share around. That way we'll get to try everything.

Thanks to all!

You are so funny! I can relate

I am sorry if I asked this already but I didn't saw an answer if there was one ....

Does anybody know if the pretzel bread served at Carnation Cafe is like the much touted pretzel bread at WDW?

I don't get to go to WDW and I have a personal mini-mission to try and get in as many WDW like experiences as I can while at DLR

 

[travelmel]

Does anybody know....

On allears.net they post that Troubador Tavern starts its lunch at 11:00 am. I noticed on the menu for Whitewater Snacks that they serve breakfast until 10:30.

Does anybody know if the CS/Snack huts have the same or different hours for when they stop/start breakfast//lunch?

We are on a Ridemax (love them) schedule and these things (as silly as they are) matter! LOL

 

[yupikgal]

I've been to both, it's been so long that we were at WDW, I can't honestly remember! All I know is that the last 2 times we've been to DL, the pretzels are delicious, and I just enjoy the moment while I'm there, and try not to compare the two parks, because although of course there are similarities, each has it's own unique brand of magic!

 

[Funball]

ooooh my gosh Sara that mousse is SO good I ate TWO on our trip lol, it's delicious!!!! It even has crushed oreos in it hehe

i need to get one .. do they still have them?

I think they all stick to the 10:30am time for the breakfast end. And the opening for Troubador is probably a wrong time now because from what I understand they are selling breakfast now. Their baked potatoes at lunch are amazing we ate there in June.

Thank you for your quick reply! Actually, I was talking specifically about the pretzel BREAD.. at Carnation Cafe

oh yes, oh yes, good to know. The Troub Tav looked like a great option for us for lunch. We have vegetarians in our party and we want to eat as healthy as we can for MEALS so that we can have crap for snacks whenever we want! (how's that for justification!?)

P.S. Hello Kaoden!! XOXOXO I'm planning a DLR trip for the weekend of April 7th-11th since I had to cancel (AGAIN) my WDW trip due to extreme and ugly family disaster and despair.

Hi Mel!! XOXOXO I'm thrilled to see you planning the trip. I am sorry to hear about the family disaster. I knew I hadn't seen you on either website until recently. I am here if I can answer any more questions about Disneyland and the food. I was just there 2/21-24 so it is all fresh in my mind.

Bengal BBQ also has some healthy skewers, and an excellent veggie one. If you are worried about calories, you can ask for the sauce on the side. The tiger tails breadsticks are really good too.

Can you guys please give me some tips on how to do DL during Lent???? I'll be there on Good Friday and I was wondering where I can get fish or non meat meals...

Stage Door (by the Golden Horseshoe) has some really good fish & chips. You can get clam chowder in a bread bowl at French Market, fish tacos at Rancho del Zocalo, or a salad with grilled (or blackened...can't remember as it's been quite awhile since I had it) salmon at Cafe' Orleans. Blue Bayou has crabcakes, and a salmon meal. Then there's the chicken/alfredo sauce fusilli at Pizza Port, which you can order without the chicken for a meat-free meal. Those are all the places I can think of offhand that have seafood; here's a link to all the Park's menus that will probably have even more options that I've not listed: http://allears.net/dlr/din/menu/menus.htm

Thanks Mama... I do have questions.. I'll have to think of them. LOL Oh yea, one question was about Blue Bayou. When we went it was $4 for a split plate charge and they did not give an extra soup/salad anymore. Now the split plate charge is listed at TWELVE BUCKS! What gives?

Do you know if it's possible to get the pretzel sandwhich bread anywhere other than Carnation Cafe 1/2 sand and soup meal? Is there a big difference between the beniets inside the sit down rest (can't think of the name.. orleans?) and the CS or outside stand version of beniets? No idea how to spell benyay.

The Blue Bayou split cost does now include their own soup or salad whichever. And well honestly we skipped Blue Bayou this trip and ate at Cafe Orleans and it was wonderful and far less money and that is the location in the park to get beignets. You can go to Ralph Brennan's in DTD to get more of an authentic beignets. My spelling is probably skewered. The pretzel bread I am not sure on that. Have you looked at the menus on allears.net? They have pretty accurate menus on there.

I just can't believe they charge $12 for you to have a salad and HALF of an ALREADY OVERPRICED MEAL YOU'RE PAYING FULL PRICE FOR ALREADY! Man that's irritating!
