What is the WORST snack or meal you've ever had at DL?

[crystal1313]

Bummed about the bao and the lumpia gone from tropical hideaway. We really enjoyed both.

RIP lumpia

Worst meal was from Lucky Fortune Cookery. I got the spicy bowl and DH got the teriyaki and it was so sweet it was inedible.

The Monte Cristo can be hit or miss. I get it on every trip. When it's good, it's good, but sometimes it's overly greasy. If I get a greasy one, I send it back because I know they can do better.

That's a good tip! I'm going to remember that. I can't recall having it happen but it's too expensive and life's too short to accept a bad MC!

Ube beignet. We were excited to hear that it was being offered, and a lot of people seemed to love this at the Food & Wine fest. But the "ube" was this pinkish sugar dust -- and a light coat at that -- underneath a standard beignet. Barely had any ube flavor-- no deep purple color. Gave real ube a bad name.

Should've just called it a "pink beignet" and we'd be good.

Dang, that's too bad. Love Ube.

The worst food I ever ate at Disneyland was at the La Brea Bakery when it was in Downtown Disney and my mom had chosen for us to eat breakfast there and we thought it would be a nice breakfast. So me and Dad ate French Toast and minutes later I noticed it had a funny taste and my father was eating his French Toast too and noticed the funny taste and we thought "what on earth is this?" and it turns out it was sourdough French Toast and I didn't bother finishing my food and neither did Dad

La Brea Bakery (Pacific Wharf Cafe, now called Aunt Cass Cafe) is a sourdough bread bakery. If you don't like sourdough then it would definitely be a place to avoid. Personally, I love it and it's one of my favorite places to eat, though I've never had the breakfast/french toast. The soup in a sourdough bread bowl makes a great lunch.

EDIT: Nevermind - I am talking about a different place. Minus 2 DISNerd points for me!

La Brea Bakery is a different company from Boudin Bakery. La Brea is based in Los Angeles, while Boudin is based in San Francisco. I think they make a sourdough but it isn't their specialty. And I don't recall them ever running that cafe/store inside DCA, just the one in Downtown Disney. AFAIK the sourdough place in DCA has always been Boudin.

Having said that...sourdough French toast is the best!

Oh, duh, you're right - La Brea was the one at Downtown Disney, and yeah, they had more than Sourdough there. I was thinking that Pacific Wharf didn't serve breakfast (maybe they do). I can see it easier to be confused about it there, though, yeah, personally, I'll take sourdough in all forms!

Lol, I make sourdough French toast on purpose. Never had it at La Brea but I’m sure I would have loved it.

Pretty much any pizza in the parks that I've ever had falls somewhere between "meh" and disgusting.

Flo's used to have a different type of chicken and it was sometimes good and sometimes insanely dry.

Blue Milk!!! YUCKY!!!

Just saw bao and lumpia is back at tropical hideaway! Although it just says lumpia on the menu and doesn’t say what kind. Lol. I’m hoping it’s pineapple!!

Hey, thanks for the update! I see that they have pork, chicken, and vegetable baos. Those are going on my DL planning list right now!

Me too! I go on 7/29. I’ll try to see what the lumpia is a report back!

This makes me so happy!

Me too!!

Carthay Circle surprisingly. Had booked this as a special anniversary dinner after seeing many positive reviews. Our waitress talked up their great mashed potatoes and rolls to complement our entrees. Once ordered she them came back to inform us they were out of both the rolls and the potatoes but reassured us our entrees would be very filling. My husband had the steak and I had the pork chop. They came with no accompaniments, so we literally just had meat for our special dinner. When the dessert menu was brought out we were informed that they were also out of several of the optins and the ones they had did not appeal to us. It will be a long time before we give this restaurant a try again. I will say we went towards the end of the evening so if you have a later reservation you may want to keep in mind that they run out of things.

How long ago was this? Did you sub the mashed potatoes for the vegetables? If not, there should have been something on the plate to accompany the protein.

Yeah, I will say I am not a fan, though I have only ever had it at WDW. I think the green is a little better, but not enough that I really ever want to get either one.

Since Disney's GF items are generally very good I really haven't had a bad meal since I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. With one exception....I had an 'allergy dog' at Refreshment Corners and it was the worst hot dog I've ever had. The bun was fine, the usual GF bun, but the wiener itself was just nasty. I ended up throwing the wiener away and just eating the bun. I haven't been bold enough to try a hot dog anywhere at DLR since.
