French Market in New Orleans Square had many different selections that I would consider comfort food: Beef Stew and Corn Chowder in bread bowls, meatloaf, jambalaya, roast beef sandwiches with au jus and a nice selection of desserts.
We love the Plaza Inn chicken dinner, larger , filling, delicious and enough to share between light eaters. Truly great comfort food and so good!
We also like the Harbor Galley across from the HM for their baked potatoes. We love the potato topped with BBQ chicken and slaw. It sounds different, but is so tasty and filling. The menu is here: http://allears.net/dlr/din/menu/men_har.htm. It could be a light meal or a really hearty snack, between the potato, the generous amount of BBQ chicken, and the tangy slaw.
I am super excited to be trying the Plaza Inn for Minnie and Friends breakfast on my birthday in May. I will share then. I typically have lunch at the Village Haus. They open right at 11 and if you get there early like that or soon thereafter typically almost empty (not during a crowded season) and the service is very quick. I appreciate them because I'm able to upgrade the toddler mac and cheese to a kids' size and substitute fries. They also offer the 10% discount for Annual Pass holders (I have the deluxe) It's fun eating in Pinocchio's house
Over in DCA I like the Pacific Wharf which has great soups in sourdough bread bowls. I also like their salads. My tip is to ask them to have the soup of salad served on the side so that you can munch on the bread as a snack I also like Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill.
