I, on the other hand, prefer Purell. Whoa! Now it's playing Watch Out for Goofy! Man, I wish I still had my Mickey Mouse Disco tape-and-book!

If you are ever in Ft. Collins, CO, be sure to visit the New Belgium Brewery. Free samples and they have a brewery tour.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I just don't have much desire to have a hamburger at Disney, prolly 'cause I can get a burger just about anywhere, and they are so "ordinary."

I usually eat at Plaza Inn or Rancho inside DL park, and at DCA I like the Trattoria. I also like Storytellers, and LOVE Napa Rose (now there's GREAT FOOD!) I never go over to the other hotels; too far to walk. The other stuff in DtD I haven't tried for whatever reason, except for ESPN Zone when they had a free meal deal. The food there was fine, but I doubt I would go back.

We always eat at Rancho, French market, always get corn dogs, turkey legs. We recently tried the Cafe Orelans, Trattoria over at DCA, and Storytellers Cafe and loved them. I don't think anyone on this post has yet commented on the new French Market menu. Has anyone tried it?

The breakfast menu is pretty much the same though. Good option for sitdown breakfast.

Originally Posted By dresswhites omg the breakfast at steakhouse 55 is wonderful. at disneyland park, my 3 favorite restraunts are carnation cafe, cafe orleans and rancho. At carnation, i love the baked potato soup. at rancho i love the citrus chicken. and at cafe orleans i love the pomme frites and crab sandwich. i also like the monte cristo. Cafe Orleans has become a special place for me. the last two years i have had my birthday dinner there. great service and great memories. i agree the disneyland burgers are not the best. i think i like them best at hungry bear just because the view is so great. Tomorrowland terrace are edible. In my humble opinion, Village Haus is probably the worst restraunt in the park. the food makes me sick. Also while the food at the Bayou is ok, all the hassle of getting a table there doesn't seem worth it. i much prefer the food and service at Cafe Orleans. ESPN food is suprisingly good, but i just don't like the atmosphere.
Originally Posted By dresswhites the best yester restraunt was carnation ice cream parlour and restraunt. great burgers! and milkshakes.
Originally Posted By tete75 I agree with everyone about the hamburgers they are horrible....I usually snack on churros and the mcdonalds french fries and then when i get hungry for a real meal i walk across the street to Mimi's Cafe or go over to DD and eat at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen i absolutely love the food there. Reminds me of home back in Louisiana.

Originally Posted By -PLP- The last time I ate in the Blue bayou earlier this year I sent my food back to the kitchen since the cut of meat I was served was 85% fat. The server thought I was kidding until I pulled out a flashlight and showed her. She asked me to please shut off the light and then hurried the plate away. I decided that must be the reason it is so dark in there. HAHA I won't eat there anytime soon.

Originally Posted By LuLu We ate at French Market on Thursday and I was pleasantly surprised with the salmon. It was better than I expected. The kids' macaroni and cheese was not good tho.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<the cut of meat I was served was 85% fat.>> The fat is what makes meat taste good, so I bet that prime rib tasted great. ~
