Top Free - Counter Service Food From a Theme Park

Postby sandie » Thu Oct 09, 2008 5:55 pm

This can be from a counter service restaurant, a bakery or a snack cart.

What do you like to eat?

The gumbo place in NOS Disneyland, just around the corner from POTC (can't remember the name of it, but great gumbo).
Taste Pilots Grille in DCA
The Ice Cream place just around from Californian Screamin' in DCA, next to the old Coppertone and Coke billboards. One of the rare places that sold soft serves and did it really good!

Special mention to the Coffee Shop in Main Street and any churros cart.

The worst was the Corn Dog in DCA, near the Sunglass shop (dinosaur). They were the worst thing that has ever attempted to pass as food.
2023 Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Lines - Disney Wish. Going to be awesome to be back!

Firstly, I'd have to say ANY of the counter service restaurants in Tokyo - I found the food was far superior to those in the US.

But if we are looking mainly at the US, then I'm with Anthony on the Taste Pilots Grill in DCA - I also used to like their self order system, but I think that has gone now hasn't it?
I liked the Asian food place in Animal Kingdom where you eat outside beside the water looking across to Everest (can't remember the place's name, but the food was great).
In Disneyland - I guess I'll have to go with the Dole Whip at the Tiki Room.

I was thinking actual food items not a place so try again!

I say:
1.Kaki Gori, Japan, Epcot. Rockmelon Flavour
2. Grapes - I love grapes in Disney, I eat two trays a day!
3. Tuna sandwich from the Columbia Harbour House, Liberty Square, Magic Kingdom.

We used to love the frozen chocolate soft serve yogurt that you could get in World Showcase but its gone now.

Wow - I can't remember the flavoured popcorn in HK. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back there now :)
(Which is looking more attractive at the moment to the other parks - given the Aussie $ crash...)

From the CBA website $1 now buys:
0.6202 USD
0.4512 Euro
61.02 Japanese Yen
4.7452 Hong Kong Dollars

:(

Oh my!!!!! Peter changed over $600 in US dollars a week ago and it is driving him nuts that if he had of waited he could have made so much more money. I have $1000 in travellors cheques that he is pressuring me to exchange but I refuse - that money is my start on our next trip!

Gee Keith, aren't we a bearer of good tidings! :x Just lucky we're still celebrating ...

As for the 3 foods:
The soft serve ice cream in DCA
Gumbo in the bread bowl
Coffee from the Carnation Cafe in Main Street. It's the best coffee in DL by far. We found the coffee in the carts where you got a free refill in the souvenir cup was either tar or watery vegemite, without the vegemite taste.
