I love the cinnamon roll french toast (soooo decadant) and my husband loves Oscar's special. 3. Wine Country Trattoria at DCA - Great wine, great salads, great soups, great everything!! 4. Cafe Orleans - French Onion soup and French Fries We also really enjoyed the Celebration roundup Barbeque, we loved the food and the entertainment, and Catal in downtown Disney for an upscale, adult dinner which wasn't quite the price of Napa Rose. I'm not in love with the Blue Bayou. I wish I was, and I love Pirates of the Carribean, but after eating there a couple of times I don't really want to go back. No great memories of the food, it was about the same as Cafe Orleans, and we managed to have a better time most of the other places where we ate including Cafe Orleans. Maybe I had built up the idea of BB so much that nothing could have lived up to it, lol. I'm still looking forward to trying the Plaza Inn, White Water Snacks, RRPP, and so many other places!!

Originally Posted By Dole_Whip_Adventure I love the Blue Bayou, even though it's a little more expensive than the average Disneyland restaurant. However, I don't think I have ever ordered anything other than the Monte Cristo (but why would I need to? ) I also really like Zocalo, you can never go wrong with their burritos and the delicious cinnamon crispies! As far as DCA, I always go to the Boudin Bakery restaurant. The salads and soups are awesome, and are made even better with the bread bowl. Though, the lines have been very long the last few times I've gone. I have to say though...I really miss the McDonalds french fries in Frontierland and New Orleans Square/Critter Country. I know they weren't the most healthy snack choice in the park, but just the smell was enough to satisfy me. And when I DID get an order, I loved that it was always guaranteed that they would be fresh and hot :]

Napa rose is my dream, but until my 3 year old can goto Pinochio's Workshop I'm not going there with my children! I want to enjoy myself. Is it hard to get outside seating around 5:00 when the parade will be going by?
Originally Posted By DyGDisney I don't know about the parade seating, but you can make preferred seating ressies for Wine Country Trattoria, and maybe ask for outside seating when you make the ressies. Oh, and my kids loved the meatball sandwich and breadsticks there.
Originally Posted By Dalia3001 We went with my niece, age 4, and my nephew age 6 months and easily got reservations with a request for an outside table by calling the priority seating number: (714) 781-DINE, or (714) 781-3463. We were there during Spring Break, called pretty early and requested outside seating, then again asked for a table outside in person when we checked in at the restaurant. I have always gotten the seating I have requested if I make a priority seating reservation, and then ask again at the podium. Once we were unable to get a table outside at Cafe Orleans, but I think I may have forgotten to mention it again when I checked in for our PS at the restaurant, I was sort of exhausted. They would have given us an outside table with a little additional wait. So in my experience it was extremely easy to get the table, but you do have to follow the guidelines. Make the reservation with Disney Dining and then reiterate the request at the podium while checking in. They will not guarantee you get the table you ask for, but in my experience, you are extremely likely to get it if you follow these steps. Hope that helps!! : )
