    Well, I am glad you have a plan. I did not realize that fried chicken was used in the practice of voodoo...now that I know I will be sure not to discriminate against people with fried chicken :)

After reading these posts I'm not so sure BUT I'm feeling this NEED to check it out for myself :)

    A trip to Disneyland is never complete for me without eating a chicken dinner at the Plaza. It tastes like "broasted" chicken that I used to get at a local restaurant when I was a kid :)

    My vote is Plaza!
