Whats your favorite foods at Disneyland?

tracilicious · 02-27-2006, 08:19 AM

We love the food at DL, it is one of the main things we look forward to each trip (which is only a few times a year, so we don't get sick of it like the locals do). I'd have to say thought that on the whole, WDW food is better. With a few exceptions. These are the foods we make a point to eat on a four or five day trip:

HUGE cinnamon rolls at Blue Ribbon Bakery. These are better than at WDW. Michael has to have one every morning, I nibble off of his, because I just can't handle sugar in those quantities that early in the day. Usually acompanied by a cafe mocha.

Onion rings at Hungry Bear. Best onion rings I've ever had.

Churros. These are in short supply at WDW, replaced by Turkey Legs (which I too find to be too greasy).

Dole Whip (need I say more?)

Fantasia Ice Cream at Gibson Girl. MMMMMM

Soft Serve swirl at Catch a Flave (best soft serve, ever!)

Clam Chowder in a bread bowl (only at DL, DCA's just doesn't taste right)

Chicken Tacos at Rancho del Zocalo. Not because they are spectacular, just an acceptable choice for dinner.

Corndogs. I really don't like corndogs except at DL.

Mickey pretzels

Pizza at Pizza Port. Not amazing, but good for DL.

Everything at Bengal Barbecue.

I think that's it. I miss DL!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news if you don't already know this, but Fantasia ice cream is long gone at Disneyland.

Are the cinnamon rolls at Blue Ribbon and River Belle made in separate kitchens? They're similar in nature but the two I had from Blue Ribbon were both horrible (very dry, not much flavor) and the few I've had at River Belle were all very good (though too big to eat in their entirety).

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno. I do know though, that five years ago the cinnamon rolls were better. That, or my tastes have changed. Pizza Port used to have better sauce, too.

Oh yes, and I forgot to add most anything from the candy shop by Pooh's Grand Adventure (or whatever the heck that ride is called), but especially the marshmallows dipped in caramel and chocolate.

Ah but you can make your own Ben and Jerry's Fantasia by mixing equal parts of Cherry Garcia, Pistachio Pistachio, and Chunky Monkey. I have been known to do this on occasion.

Not to be a $hit, but, where can we find calorie content?

I LOVE the candy at the Pooh shop but don't eat it. It is very pretty, though.

You can also, according to Andrew at MousePad, get a decent approximation at Cold Stone. I've never had the stuff myself (when it comes to ice cream I am almost strictly vanilla, unless peanut butter is involved).

Really?
I must have missed that thread. Any idea how this is achieved?

No kidding!

People say 'yuck' when I've eaten chocolate covered raisins. I say 'You got raisins, you got chocolate. No question of what you are biting into.'
