The atmosphere - the "rain storms" every half hour and various stuffed animals and sounds seemed a bit cheesy and anti-climactic after being at Disneyland all day. The food was just o.k., and it cost us 75.00 for our family to eat. That was just for me and Trent and three cheesy kids meals. It is an experience though...... I'm so excited for your trip!! It has been fun to read about your plans!!Vanessa Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479696466502159805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-3910862377641120632012-02-05T20:39:14.749-08:002012-02-05T20:39:14.749-08:00OH yeah....and Mimi's Cafe's pretty good t...OH yeah....and Mimi's Cafe's pretty good too.

Ask yourself, "how much will I spend on one meal for my family inside the park" then compare those deals on hotwire/expedia including breakfast. Don't knock the Disneyland entrance Denny's till you try it. You'd be surprised how good their food is, and right smack across the street. Not like the Denny's here in our town. :) Also, we enjoy the Marri's Pizza place close by and to go on the super cheap--Del Taco of course. We shop at a nearby grocery store so we have plenty of favorite snacks for inside the park. I know you are feeling sentimental but my kids never remember the food they missed out on.Hedrick Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11045865680170438194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-40863432555349160352012-02-03T16:32:57.505-08:002012-02-03T16:32:57.505-08:00I loved the Mickey ice creams - shaped lilke Micke...I loved the Mickey ice creams - shaped lilke Mickey's ears & very delicious.

Though they didn't say if they were any good. I've never had gluten free stuff.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835191168528411588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-31697665027185428552012-02-03T14:12:42.834-08:002012-02-03T14:12:42.834-08:00I think the sandwiches at Blue Bayou are only on t...I think the sandwiches at Blue Bayou are only on the lunch menu, but you can check their menu online. I love the chowder bread bowls and they aren't a bad price (big serving and about $8). We usually try to do breakfast at our hotel, take something for lunch and snacks and then get an early dinner at Disneyland or Downtown Disney. That way you can also get some of the snacks you mentioned. They just recently got the turkey legs(I don't know if they had them last time we were there) but I've always heard raves about them from Disney world. As far as rainforest goes, we like it there, but it isn't unique to Disneyland, you can find them everywhere so I don't know that I'd blow my budget there. There are also some restaurants across the street from Disney like IHOP or Mimi's. Also check out the restaurants in the Disney hotels, we've gotten good, not badly priced meals there. We just discovered the Golden Horseshoe place last time we were there. It's a great retreat at the park. Enjoy! I can't wait to go back. Hopefully this fall.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835191168528411588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-91511101040282766292012-02-03T11:42:27.138-08:002012-02-03T11:42:27.138-08:00I live off those pineapple whips whenever we go!

Q still talks about it. <br /><br />In California Adventure there is a soup/salad/bakery place that is pretty good. That is where I usually eat when I stay in the park during meals.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427854793492437066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-52249829922911393642012-02-03T11:12:34.437-08:002012-02-03T11:12:34.437-08:00We went to RainForest Cafe at Disneyland and while...We went to RainForest Cafe at Disneyland and while the food was not fabulous and way overpriced the atmosphere was very fun. Reservations are defintitely needed. You could go there just for dessert. That is actually one of our favorite memories. They make a brownie over cake dessert with chocolate sauce drizzling down and a fun sparkler stick thingie on top. When they bring it out all the servers shout out "Volcano". Since we have been back home we will periodically make that as a family dessert (although ours is about 10 times bigger than the restaurants in order to feed our family of 9.) We all sit a gobble huge bites of gooey chocolaty goodness. Yum!<br /><br />The food is very expensive at Disneyland. We went for about a week and found that it worked great to eat big at Breakfast (at the big free breakfast buffet that came with our hotel) and have snacks for lunch. Sometimes we would grab apples at the breakfast buffet and take them along for lunch. Then we were only paying for one meal a day at dinner. We tried out the pretty close Red Robin and Outback and then a Taco place one night. Then at the end of the week, after getting a bit tired of eating out food, we got some spaghetti making ingredients and made that for dinner in our small kitchenette that came with the room. Good times, good food.<br /><br />We did try a few foods at Disneyland but the only one I remember being really good was the Pinneapple Whip at the tiki room.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671355365912250898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-70520037623339612372012-02-03T10:34:34.336-08:002012-02-03T10:34:34.336-08:00I've only been to D-land once and we ate bolog...I've only been to D-land once and we ate bologna sandwiches from a cooler in the RV parking lot!

My daughter spent the whole time talking to the fake animals on the walls. At one point she said, "Oh leopard!" as though the stuffed leopard had just said something witty.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557585811735711752noreply@blogger.com
