Whats your favorite foods at Disneyland? - Page 6

Just to check that nutrition info isn't available, I tried calling Disney Dining. Nope. She actually transferred me to the park itself just in case they knew of how to get the info, but I sat on hold for so long I hung up. They wouldn't have known anyway, if DD didn't have it.

Interesting, I thought the law required all restaurants to have nutritional information available.

I don't know why I thought this, I just did.

Thanks you guys for checking and passing along that info to me.

Yes. I normally think "If it looks good, it must have a zillion calories." Or rather, if it is fried, chocolate, or covered in whipped cream.

I also thought that some places were supposed to divulge the content. I know Starbucks does. That is why I skip the whipped cream, go sugar free and it is either low fat or non-fat and get the tall. {is that the biggest one?} I figure I don't need the extra calories but I do need as much coffee as I can get.

And, I need to get back to what we used to do~the Hubster and I would order those dinners at White Water Snacks and split them. Those chicken sandwiches are huge!!

I thought this too. From a bit of searching it looks like it's not law, but many places do it anyway,especially fastfood joints. As people are starting to sue because they "didn't know the food was so bad for them"

it makes sense for them to make the info public.

As for Disneyland, they probably feel much less pressure to show that info. Disney Dining will tell you what foods fit into certain dietary reqs but they don't have all the itemized info. You can get the diestary lists from City Hall too.

Heheh, my sweetie and I also split meals at Whitewater. The sandwiches are huge, and yummy, too (the French Dip is the one we constantly make the bestest, cheapest DLR meal out of).

I am reminded by reading this thread that I don't hate everything inside Disneyland. I like most of the offerings at Carnation on Main Street. The.Pretty.Much.End.

Uva has the best twenty six dollar hamburger around! The Bleu Cheese Burger at Taste Pilot's in DCA pales in comparison, but is quite decent for a more hamburgery price.

Ah, the foods I miss: First and foremost - spicy, curly fries from the Harbor Galley in New Orleans Square. Next, the Carnation ice cream sandwiches from the pre-Nestle Days of ODV, when Carnation had an ice cream fountain joint on Main Street and ice cream service at Carnation Gardens in the Hub. Lastly, I miss the prepackaged, chemicalized goodness of the Ham&Cheese sandwich from Sunkist on Main Street.

Waaah, now I just wanna cry!

Why do I spend so much money on food at the place where I'm sick of everything to eat?

Peer pressure. I know that's why we stopped our money-saving practice of eating a meal at home and then showing up at the park. We'd arrive and watch everyone eat.

What you need to do is visit WDW. I recommend May.

Because we have such a good time doing it.

Most people probably eat inside the park and willingly spend more-money-than-its-worth eating there because food/drinks/sweets are part of the theme-park experience. First of all, it's more convenient, obviously, but certain foods seen to taste better inside the park! One could buy a churro elsewhere (Costco, Rubios, super market, county fair, or non-Disney theme parks, etc.), but many people swear that churros taste better inside Disneyland!

As the posts in this thread suggest, we all have our favorites at DL/DCA and eating certain foods at particular park restaurants becomes a tradition or developed addiction--like Dole Whip!

Speaking of Harbor Galley again, Im disgusted that they turned into a Mc Donalds French Fry stand.
