My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

To those that are going soon, it sounds like Jolly Holiday is getting some new items!
New Spring Menu Begins Today at Jolly Holiday Bakery Café in Disneyland Park

Oooh raspberry creme brûlée. I'm gonna need to order that next week.

I had the new opera cake at Jolly Holiday yesterday. It was pretty (decorated with edible gold leaf) but tasted more like tiramisu than any opera cake I've ever had. I liked it, though. The tuna sandwich was "meh"...not very flavorful, but it was ok after I added some Italian dressing from the condiment bar.



This is the turkey sandwich from Flo's...it was SO GOOD! The pasta salad that came with it was also delicious, and had a few big chunks of artichoke hearts in it.

Happy March 19th everyone! Today is National Poultry Day! In honor of that, if you've got photos of poultry dishes from Disneyland Resort, it's time to post them! Here are a few of my favorite poultry dishes from DLR...

French Quarter Chicken from the French Market

Chicken and Waffle from Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen

And of course...Fried Chicken from the Plaza Inn

So outside Toontown, a Cast Member saw my Duffy and then told me that he kept asking Duffy to go out to dinner and Duffy said, "No thanks; I'm already stuffed." ::rim shot:: But seriously, it was hot so I didn't eat so much this trip.

Pizza from The Pizza Press! It was right beside our hotel and SO good. The line was long but the employees worked very hard and fast. It's rather like Subway only pizza and better. They do seem to go very light on the sauce but I assume there's some logistical reason for it. The pizza was still very, very good.

This was the Sun with artichoke hearts instead of green onions. My mom and friend got straight pepperoni (I was ashamed to order for her!) and cheese. We were all pleased but I think I did the best out of all of us. I ate 4 pieces and saved the other 2 for later. My friend finished her whole cheese pizza but it wasn't covered in bacon and ham so that makes sense.

Salad from Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta. Very good and filling; I barely managed to finish.

Trolley Treats:

French Toast platter from Tomorrowland Terrace. I didn't eat the melon-type fruit, but everything else was good; just the right size for breakfast.

For lunch that day, I ate the rest of my Sun pizza. It wasn't bad cold.

Free Sandwich Club Holiday sandwich from Earl of Sandwich (very, very good, but I could only eat half! ) and delicious chocolate pudding.

Half-and-half nachos from White Water Snacks. Smaller-looking than I remembered, but it was plenty for us to share, and the Coke Freestyle machine was a pleasant surprise (even though I just got water anyway).

Even with a reservation/priority seating, we had a long wait for Cafe Orleans (about 20 minutes) and service was slow too. Pomme Frites were good, as always. My friend said they tasted like garlic bread. Neither my mom nor my friend liked the sauce (I don't think they like many sauces) but that just meant more for me!

Since I filled up on frites, I couldn't even eat ONE quarter of the Monte Cristo that Mom and I split. It was good but even richer than I remembered.

I'm not huge on candy apples but I almost wish I would've bought a Baymax one. (From Marceline's Confectionary)

McGriddle at the McDonald's across the street on departure day.

Your Duffy is very cute! I like the Baymax t-shirt.

Figment's Spring Break at Disneyland Resort
Figment just got back from a "Spring Break" trip to Disneyland. While has other food photos to share, he thought he'd start with the Spring Break and Spring treats he saw. Most things were available at multiple locations, but a few things might have been exclusive to one location...

Cupcakes - these were available at several locations. Figment saw them at the Candy Palace (where he also saw Tigger Tails) and Trolley Treats.

Easter Bunny Apple - there were also available at several locations, including the Candy Palace, Trolley Treats, and Marceline's.

Easter Egg Cake Pops - there were also available at several locations, including the Candy Palace, Trolley Treats, and Marceline's.

The Candy Palace is making Easter Eggs! They came in a couple of different flavors: Chocolate Fudge Creme, Peanut Butter Creme, and Vanilla Fudge Creme. Figment hasn't tried it yet, but he got the Chocolate Fudge Creme one.

The Jolly Holiday Bakery had a seasonal Olaf cupcake. It was a vanilla cupcake with lots of frosting!

This debuted while Figment was there! It's the Olaf's Perfect Sundae Day. It was available at Clarabelle's in DCA. It had birthday cake ice cream (not vanilla like the sign said) and came with lots of whipped cream and sprinkles. It was kind of messy, but fun. The marshmallows were blue all the way through and had a slightly minty flavor. Figment liked this sundae!

I wonder if that birthday cake ice cream is Dreyer's birthday cake ice cream?

I love the Easter cupcakes and apples! So cute.

Fellow DIS'er funatdisney bought one of the chocolate eggs last year (after we wrapped up the Egg-stravaganza, so that the egg didn't melt). They packaged it up in a nice box at the Candy Palace. If I'm not mistaken, I think she had already tried one of the eggs the previous year and really liked it. It's supposedly quite good.

It would not surprise me if it was Dreyer's Birthday Cake ice cream. It didn't have a strong birthday cake flavor, but it did have the colorful bits in it.

The Disney Parks Blog has a posting about the Frozen Fever Treats that have been debuting around the parks recently.

If there are foodies out there who are going to be in Southern California for the week of Disneyland's actual 60th birthday/anniversary (in other words, the week of July 17th) and will have a spare day to venture away from Disneyland to seek out other entertainment, I will recommend the Taste of Farmers Market, which will take place on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at the Original Farmers Market at Third Street and Fairfax in Los Angeles (right next door to The Grove shopping center). This is a one-day only event, and it is getting more popular each year. The tickets will probably not go on sale until June, but I confirmed the date with Farmers Market on Facebook. The tickets will probably cost somewhere in the range of $35 - $40, and the event typically starts in the late afternoon/early evening.

What happens at the Taste of Farmers Market is that more than 50 vendors from around the Market offer samples of their food -- anything from sliders to pastries to chocolate-dipped strawberries to sushi and any other type of cuisine you can imagine: BBQ, vegetarian, French, Korean, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, New Orleans-Cajun, seafood, hot dogs, wine or beer, and so much more -- there are tons of choices (some of the vendors jump on board at the last minute, so they aren't all necessarily included on the list of participants in advance). The samples will come from both small, family-run businesses that have been at the Market for decades and newer, more contemporary restaurants that have opened up in the last 10-15 years. There are dessert samples, beverage samples, appetizer samples and entrée samples.

Here is a brief article about the Taste event in 2014 - http://beverlypress.com/2014/07/celebrate-80-years-of-farmers-market-at-‘taste’/

Last year I talked about the Taste of Farmers Market in this thread and at least one of our DIS'ers tried it out and loved it. Also, Mary Jo (of this forum and of DIS Unplugged) attended and had a great time. I think she may be planning to go again this year, as will I.

So it's an idea for something to do on that 'non-Disney day' when you might be in SoCal for the week of Disneyland's 60th birthday, and I think it's a pretty reasonable price for all you get. It's a great value!
