Disney Dining

Overview

Quote:

There are several ways to make eating less stressful. First if you are eating somewhere that doesn’t do priority-seating head for the line farthest from the entry. These lines are always shorter because no one sees them. Quick service eateries (Taste Pilot, Redd’s Rocket, etc…) have two lines on either side of the register. Most people only line up only on one side. If you see a register that has two sides jump into the side where there are no people or a smaller line.Eat before noon or after 5pm. Lines will die down considerably. Sometimes I eat a big lunch then grab something smaller and eat while sitting along a parade route. This way I’ll have a great view for the parade and I’m not just sitt...Read More

Golden Horseshoe Review

If you are looking for a rootin-tootin’ good time head for the Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland. The restaurant is set up like a saloon with tables and chairs smooched together on the floor. Along the side of the room there is more seating slightly raised off the ground and there is a second floor with seating set up around the railings overlooking the stage giving the best views for the shows.
They serve the Disney basic: chicken breast tenders (4 for $7.99), fish and chips (4 pieces for $8.99), and mozzarella strips (5 for $7.49). However the one addition that I saw here that is unique from the rest of the park is the chili bread bow and cheese fries ($4.29). I opted for the chili bread bowl for lunch and although it is listed as an appetizer it was enough to fill me. It was average.
Dessert is also offered. I suggest their five layer chocolate cake. They also offer sundaes, but get them at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street if it is ice cream that you are after. I tried the hot fudge sundae ($5.49). I wasn’t impressed in the least.
Service here is another issue. Regardless of how long the line is the employees never move faster then a snail. I watched them make my sundae; it took 7 minutes. I’ve never compared making a sundae to rocket science, but the Golden Horseshoe took it to new levels.
Several times a day Billy Hill and the Hillbillies put on a rip-roaringly funny, foot stompingly fun show that brings back guests year after year. The shoe starts off with Billy Hill and his three brothers also named Billy, who present there blue grass/country music infused with Rock and Roll a.k.a. crock. Each musical performance is set up with hilarious and very well throughout out banter from the performers. At one point they even inform the audience about how they could have made the Beatles famous, the lights dim, and when they come back on four overall clad hillbillies appear with Beatle wigs and sing their rendition of songs such as “the Yeller Submarines”. After the medley Billy informs the audience, who at this point are rolling on the ground laughing, that they didn’t just see the Beatles, but it was in fact just Billy Hill and the Hillbillies, and goes on to say that when he wears the wig out in public he gets mobbed because everyone thinks he’s Paul McCartney, and when he takes the wig off he gets mobbed worse because people realize that it is Billy Hill and not a Beatle. The show ends with a witty performance of the “The Devil Went to Georgia.”
Show times for Billy Hill and the Hillbillies can be found in the park’s Time Guide. During the group’s days off their replacements can be missed. Although they perform under the same name they are nothing more then a third rate knockoff that are borderline annoying.

I’ve always hated Main Street USA in Disney. For me it was a never-ending line of shops and annoyances that stood between every thrill ride in the park and me; recently that changed. Walking through the shops not only gives guests a glimpse back into times past, but a look into the most magical place on Earth’s past. The Plaza Inn in no exception.
From the outside the restaurant looks like a Victorian style building with and inviting entrance. Chandeliers hang form the ceiling and large bay windows that give a view of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. Being the granddaughter of two antique collectors in Pennsylvania (Victorian houses are everywhere and Main Street in Disney is very reminiscent of every Main Street that I’ve ever seen in PA), the restaurant, all though much more elegant them my families house, brought back wonderful memories of being back home.
Once inside the main entrance there are trays with silverware for guests to pick up. As in other places in the park the menu is limited, but offers up home cooking that I always could find at grandma’s house. Each line in the serving area is for a different entrée so make sure you read the sign above the line before entering. They offer a few, delicious meals including pot roast with vegetables, biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy for $14.49 and penne pasta with Italian bread and the choice between marinara, Bolognese, and pesto alfredo sauce for $12.49. I ate the Plaza Inn specialty chicken fired in herbs and spices and served with vegetables, buttermilk biscuits, and mashed potatoes with gravy. I was in heaven. I have never eaten so well in the parks. The meals were not only filling but tasty; making the Plaza Inn one of my new regular stops when I’m in the park.
A children’s menu is also available. They offer a piece of chicken, fruit, mashed potatoes, and green beans for $5.99 and penne paste with the choice of marinara or Bolognese sauce, fruit, and green beans for $5.99
The Plaza Inn is also the home to the Happiest Birthday on Earth with is hosted by Pat E. Cake. Reservations should be made in advance, and is held outside.
There is also a Princess Breakfast Buffet with various Disney characters in the morning. The prices are high; $21 for adults and $13 for kids. They offer French toast, waffles, fruit, biscuits and gravy, bagels, and muffins.

Tommorrowland Terrace

Restaurant

Quote:

Somebody must have been playing a Jedi mind trick on me, but I did try Tommorrowland Terrace. This is a fast food restaurant that is set up to serve about 3,000 people an hour. What that translates into is that everything is pre-made. Okay, first what I liked: The café is set up with two different lines. The first is its cheeseburgers, pizzas, and other foods of that nature. The second line (the much shorter line) is for salads and sandwiches. Making it convenient for those who want a quick bit if you are going for something light, but a nightmare for anyone looking for food from both sides.

They also offer a child’s menu, which has a PB&J ($5.99) and a toddler’s meal of arroz con pollo ($2.99). As sides you can order a yogurt parfait ($4.99) or a bag of chips for ($2.75).
I ordered a roast beef sandwich that came with a “salad”. Let’s first explore Disney’s idea of what is a salad. I wasn’t sure what I was given at first. It came in a cup the size of I would use to put ketchup in. At first I though it was something to put on my sandwich but it didn’t taste all that right on it. Not only that but it resembled Cole slaw. That’s when I realized I didn’t get my salad. I asked a cast member who informed me that this tablespoon of Cole slaw like food was in fact my salad. The sandwich was a little dry, but decent, however I did walk away hungry.
All of the seating is outside which brings me to the other good thing about Tommorrowland Terrace, the entertainment. During the day the seats offer great views of the Jedi training seminars where young children are trained by Jedi masters on the ways to use the force and even get to fight Darth Vader. It’s very fun to watch, especially when the parents are more excited when their kids get then the actual child is because they have no idea what the force or Darth Vader is let alone Star Wars. At night different bands play on the terrace. It seems to rotate all of the time because I haven’t seen the same band twice.

Toon Town

Restaurant

Pluto's Dog House Photo - Anaheim, California

Quote:

To put everything into perspective if Disneyland was a mall then Toon Town would be the food court. In other words there are no sit down restraints here. However there are several quick service eateries in one area, with a centralized seating area. Toon Town offers a wacky variety of restaurants to choose from.Daisy’s Diner is a cute little, yellow and red stand in the center of Toon Town. They serve up personal pan pizza ($6.99) or a Pepperoni pizza ($6.99) both with side salad.Pluto’s Dog House; the name says it all. It is hard to miss. It is shaped like a large, yellow doghouse.

When the sun sets New Orleans Square lights up with life. Disney’s attention to detail shines through from the Caribbean architecture and balconies to the small allies that wind their way around the main street back to the train station. I’m not sure if it is the atmosphere, the food, or it’s location along the Rivers of America (where Fantasmic is performed and a wonderful view for the fireworks), but after dark this area comes alive. Don’t believe me check out the lines; when most restaurants in the other lands are thinning out New Orleans Square has lines out the door. At least there are several options to choose from.
My first attempt at eating here was almost scrapped; the lines at the Royal Street Veranda were insanely long and there was an hour wait at Café Orleans (I could have kicked myself for not making reservations). I happened to hear someone recommend the French Market Restaurant. Only a few doors down, the menu was a mix of the other two, but most importantly the lines were moving.
The restaurant serves a buffet style meal. Inside the line splits into two and wraps around the buffet counter. Overheard is a massive art Nuevo spider web. They serve a “New Orleans-style” food such as fried chicken with rice and beans ($10.99), Riverfront fettuccine ($10.99), St, Charles BBQ pork po’boy($10.79). There are lighter meals such as a garden salad ($2.99), plantation spinach and arugula salad ($9.49), or a sourdough soup boule served with clam chowder or the soup of the day ($8.69). Their deserts were covered in Nightmare before Christmas art. Something that is unique to New Orleans square that, can’t be found in the rest of the park, is that among the drinks in the fountain there are mint juleps.
I choose the chicken and rice bread bowl and went outside onto the terrace, which was packed. I found a seat around the back near the Mint Julep bar and across from the train station. On thing that stands out here is the live music. Throughout the day bands play on a small stage set up on the terrace luckily I was there during one of their performances.
The bread bowls was amazing (as they always are); and are made on the property, fresh each day. The soup was thick and hearty, if it wasn’t freshly made with real chicken pieces (as apposed to the small chewy bits of god-knows-what that is usually found in most soups) it was hard to tell. My favorite part of the bread bowls are that they always fill me. Unlike a lot of the meals I find at the parks (mostly in buffet or counter service places) I’m always hungry when I leave, but these bowls are so hearty I can never finish one. The only disappointment was the Mint Julep. I should have followed my own time tested advice: ‘never drink anything neon’, but sometimes I go for broke and break my own rules. This was not an acceptation. The bright, neon green drink was way to minty. It had such a strong taste that I couldn’t drink more then a sip or two at a time.

Redd Rocket's Pizza Port

Restaurant | "Redd Rockett's Pizza Port"

Redd Rocket’s Pizza Port is an assault on the taste buds. Don’t get me wrong it’s not horrible, but it’s not good either. What appealed to me about the place was the short line, ample seating, and it’s location just next to Space Mountain. It was hot, they could offer me shade, and I was waiting for my fast pass time to come up. Redd’s was a logical choice.
Walking in the restaurant I couldn't help by notice how it looked like a cafeteria painted to look like a space station, and the server behind the buffet looked like a galactic lunch lady, giant spoon, hair net, and all something that hardly puts one in the mood to eat.
The menu is limited to pastas, pizza, and some salads. They offer Solar Flare Sausage Pasta ($8.99), Mars-inara with Meteoric Meatballs ($8.99), Count Down Chicken Fusilli ($8.99), and Terra Nova Tomato Basil Pasta ($8.49). The pizza ranges in price from $5.79-$5.99 a slice or $31.99 for a pie. My advice would be to skip it all together. The pizza isn't bad, but it is the culinary equivalent of the pizza that comes in a box and is in a microwave in less then 3 minutes. For $5.99 it isn't worth it. However if you must they offer pepperoni or plain as well as a special topping which may include pineapple, veggies, or chicken.
I ordered went for the pasta and ordered the Count Down Chicken Fusilli. The lunch lady scooped out the pasta with a her gigantic spoon, poured the sauce onto the plate and shoved it in my face. I put the plate on my tray and walked over to the cashier, the whole time having flash backs to high school…I though that this was suppose to be the ‘Happiest place on Earth’.
The cashiers were just one more reason I wouldn't be going back any time soon. Saying that they were less then gracious would be an understatement. They gossiped to one another while I paid. I’m quit such I could have walked right on by without them noticing me since they barley noticed that I was standing there waiting to pay. Unfortunately I had to ask for a cup for my soda, which seemed to inconvenience them from their chatter about what they were going to do that night. Oh, and the fact that I had to pay was an even bigger burden since I had an annual pass and wanted to use the discount that comes with it. This meant that the cashier would actually have to look at something other then her nails and type in my pass number.
I walked away feeling the gaze of three pairs of eyes burning into my head and chose a wobbly table next to the window, checked my plate for any stray hair (it happened many times in High School. I was taking no chances), and dug in. It tasted like bag of 99-cent pasta that I could get at Wal-Mart. The pasta was dry so I was glad for the ½ ton of sauce that was poured on, but the sauce could have been better. I guess that I shouldn’t have been surprised on how bland the pasta was, but I assumed that maybe some of the skills of the chefs at the other Disney restaurants would have spilled over here and at least spiced up the taste. I was wrong… Seriously some dried tomatoes could have done wonders for dish. Read Less

Rancho Del Zocalo is a painstakingly beautiful restaurant located in Froniterland next to Big Thunder Mountain. Out front are the fastpass booths for Big Thunder and a small seating area with a stage where special events are staged (ex. Bands or Cinco de Mayo). The restaurant is counter style and is located in a Spanish-style building. The entrance is hidden off to the side and winds past a fountain into a large, tile floor room. There are several counters, each with their own specialty including citrus chicken, enchiladas, carne asada. Tacos, or burritos, I ordered the Citrus chicken with Spanish rice, paid and headed to the outside seating.
The seating consists of a several long tables and a few tables that seat two-four people around the sides of the area. This is more romantic then it sounds Lanterns are strung throughout and the area is broken up with various plants and cacti. At night Rancho Del Zocalo is beautiful when the lights come on. It’s so distracting that I never realized that I was sitting in cafeteria-style seating. The architecture and the decorations also give an authentic feel of being in the southwest when cowboys and Indians roamed the lands. My favorite part was the location next to Big Thunder. The seat I grabbed was right next to the rollercoaster, so I could see the train as it pulled into the station the other trains as they whipped around the tracks.
The food itself was okay. I thought that my chicken was a little dry and cold. The rice and beans were that great either. I couldn’t help thinking “Taco Bell” every time I took a bit. Although I wasn’t impressed by the food the atmosphere is enough to keep me coming back. Read Less

Forgive my brutal honesty, but I can’t make up good things to glaze over the truth. With that said I would also like to lay down the hard act that I’m not a foodie.

All I know is mix it together and give it to me. I know what I like and I don’t like, and I don’t like the Village Haus in Fantsayland.
The appearance is cute, charming almost. From the outside it looks like a cottage, and inside the seating is broken up into smaller rooms to hide the fact that this restaurant can hold a lot of people, with overflow seating outside. Murals of Pinocchio and Friends cover the wall. One note of caution; Fantasyland is packed during the day. This is when all of the little kids are in the park, so the lines at the Village Haus are usually really long in the morning to early afternoon. Lines die at night when the kids leave the park.
My friend and I decided to eat here because we wanted a quick bit to eat for lunch, didn’t want to splurge on one of the more expensive restaurants, and we got there when there was a break in the line. This is another limited menu venue. They offer pizza ($6.99), cheeseburgers ($7.59), bacon cheeseburgers ($8.59), turkey sandwiches ($7.99), fruit salad ($6.99), and chicken fingers ($5.99)
I ordered the chicken fingers and she got a personal pizza. We found a place to sit and dug in. This is where the disappointment began. First I had three chicken fingers. This didn’t even begin to fill me, and it’s not like I eat a lot to start with. My friend devoured her pizza and was still so hungry she went back for seconds. I choose not to waste my money here and ending up eating a second lunch later in the day.
The other problem was the taste. Not only were they cold, but also if they weren’t labeled as chicken figures I wouldn’t have been able to tell by taste along. It was bad. I asked my friend how the pizza was, thinking that if she went back for seconds it couldn’t be that bad. She replied that the only way she could eat a second one was because the first had no taste.
As far as I’m concerned just avoid this place. The food is atrocious. I’ve learned one thing about eating at Disney; sometimes spending $2-$3 more on lunch is worth it. In the end you’ll get more food that tastes better and will walk away full, so you don’t have to spend more money later on snacks or a second meal.

I often get to the point where I’m hungry, but not in the mood for food. When that happens I turn to many of the wonderful snack food areas in the park. The plus side to these are that that most are out of the way so the lines aren’t as long during peak season; however some don’t appear on the park maps so they have to be sought out. I’ve broken down the snack food places according to locations in the park.

Main Street

The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is located right on Main Street near the candy shop and the Blue Ribbon Bakery. Walking in feels like stepping back into to an old fashion ice cream parlor. There are a few tables next to the windows and in the back of the shop, but they are almost always full. My suggestion is to go outside (as if heading to Adventureland) where there is some outside seating or getting a seat on the parade route (at least 1 hour early…trust me).
Gibson Girl serves the usual single scoop cones (3.39 and up) and double scoop ice cream ($3.99 and up), but the real draw is the sundaes. Each ice cream place in the resort serves similar sundaes, but each with their own twist, and here there are four to choose from. First is the Strawberry Street Car sundae with vanilla ice cream, cherries, and strawberry sauce. Near is the Main Street Mocha Sundae with mocha fudge ice cream, hot fudge, and caramel. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae with vanilla ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, and hot fudge. Finally my favorite: the Firehouse Dalmatian Mint Sundae with mint ice cream and chocolate chips. All of the sundaes come in a waffle cup and range in price from $5.49-$5.79

Just next-door is the Blue Ribbon Bakery, which feels like I was stepping into mom’s kitchen. The lighting is a little dimmer then the rest of the shops and there are kitchen utensils hanging on the wall. From the outside it looks mostly like a pastry shop serving cheesecake ($4.99), cream puffs ($5.49), croissants ($2.59), cinnamon rolls ($3.49), Mickey Mouse shaped cookies (2.79), muffins ($2.59), and other sugary treats. However on closer inspection they can also whip up other food items like turkey, ham, or tuna salad sandwiches for ($6.99) and parfaits ($3.99).

Adventureland

Hands down my favorite place to eat in the park is the Tiki Juice Bar. Located in front of the Enchanted Tiki room there is a small hut like cart that severs on both sides (one side to passersby and on the other to those waiting to go into the Tiki Room. They offer a limited menu with everything revolving around the pineapple. They offer fresh pineapple slices ($2.50) and pineapple juice ($2.25), but the real attraction is the Dole Pineapple whip. This is soft serve pineapple flavored ice cream. There is also the Dole Whip Float ($4.50) which is the Pineapple whip on pineapple juice; a combination that made my stomach turn on hearing it, but after trying it my life change (I know a bit dramatic, but I often find myself craving it when I’m not at the park.
Across form the Indiana Jones Adventure ride is a snack bar that I often passed by with little notice. A tiger’s mouth holds a sign that states the name of the Bengal Barbecue next to a stand that looks like it was carved out of a tree. Truthfully what keeps me away wasn’t lack of interest, but the prices. The place offers things like Banyan Beef Skewer ($3.79), Bengal Beef Skewer in sweet Zulu sauce ($3.79), Chieftain Chicken Skewer in Polynesian sauce ($3.59), the Safari Skewer wrapped in asparagus ($3.59), and the Outback Vegetable Skewer ($3.29). The prices listed are for one skewer. I tried the Chieftain Chicken Skewer and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was a bit dry, but not to the point where it was bad. The Polynesian sauce gave it a tangy sweet but a little spicy kick to it.
The Bengal BBQ offers very limited seating; mainly three tables and a large counter with no seats next to the stand. It really made me feel like I was eating a skewer in the middle of the Amazon and just happened to be surrounded by hundreds of people who were running around with mouse ears on.

New Orleans Square
The Mint Julep is one place that won’t show up on any Disney map. Located behind the French Market near the train station is a small window. For those who don’t want to wait in the impossibly long lines in New Orleans that tend to grow after sun down should stop by here (I have yet to see a line longer then two people here.) They serve some foods such as fritters with dipping sauce ($3.39); cinnamon crisps ($2.29) funnel cakes ($5.49), and croissants ($2.59). They also sever the regular cold beverages as well as mochas, lattés, and espressos. The real attraction is the Mint Julep. It’s a carbonated minty drink with a hint of lime. I wasn’t a huge fan of it, but was happy that I tried it. I suggest getting one for your group and everyone trying it.
