disney food

Not sure if we've had a thread for this before but considering I (foolishly) started the day by scrolling through the Disney Food Blog and then wandered through their 'best ever desserts' thread, I got to thinking about all the heart attack rendering truly delicious food that Disney parks offer.

So I thought I'd be nosy and ask about everyones fav foods in the parks. So.... I thought we'd start off with your fav breakfast in each park ( for those lucky enough to have visited most/all of them) so anyone going there can be inspired to try something they might have missed on their last visit.

I'll set the ball rolling....

Disneyland Resort- well, because I rarely got there in time for breakfast, it'd probably be a dole whip or a Churro come to think of it, I don't think I ever got there for breakfast - I started with whatever sugar laden snacks I had in my room

Tokyo - By far the best breakfast for us in Tokyo was the Mickey Waffles... Wish I'd taken a photo of them.

Not sure I'm going to be much help on breakfast, I'm simply not a breakfast person.

The one breakfast thing that does stand out for me though was at WDW. Because I was staying offsite I caught the free bus each morning. Same bus, same time, same driver. I also got into the habit of buying a red bull and a danish to eat on the bus. Because we were getting along so well the driver let me eat even though there was a no food policy. After a couple of days I started buying him a danish as well which cemented the deal. It never hurts to be nice..to paraphrase one of the greatest cartoon characters ever, Eeek the cat.

The buffet breakfast in both Storyteller's Cafe (Grand Californian DL) and 1800 Park Fare (Grand Floridian WDW), with particular emphasis on the Eggs Benedict. To pick one over the other, the eggs benedict at 1800 Park Fare rate better.

In Hong Kong, the Enchanted Garden character breakfast at the Disneyland Hotel has a big spread of good food - but you'll be sampling that for yourself soon Lisa

Ever read Anthony Bourdain's book?

No I haven't Greg.

He's an (ex) New York chef who wrote a tell all book on working in restaurants. He now has a travel show.

In the book he says that you should never eat Eggs Benedict because of the way that the sauce is made in bulk some time before and the way that it is stored. I've never eaten it since I read his book which is a shame because I really like it.

His TV show is excellent by the way. Anyone who can say "I travel, I eat and I write about it" is a hero of mine.

who?

And the red bull heart starter is going to be my staple this weekend of scrapping frenzy in the guise of a retreat - not sure I'll be able to keep the pace without it.

And you shouldn't deprive yourself of something you enjoy on the say so of someone you've never met - lifes too short

-/ -/ -/ do they mind if you take photos of the buffet?


Storytellers rates really high on the Disney food blog ajp... also Cafe Orleans... both have been pencilled in to my 'one-day WDW' note book. I love the sound of the Mickey beignets....

Only one of the greatest cartoon characters ever.

I was so impressed by it when it was on that I wrote a fan letter to the creator and got back a letter with original artwork.

Ok, so in the interest of staying informed, I googled a youtube of Eek. Its quirky and interesting and kinda funny. I wondered how I'd never heard of it, but then realised I had a 2 year old at the time.

The funny part was, when I was watching it, that now almost 19 year old had also googled an Eek tube on his iPhone and was laughing along in the background.

Clearly its a classic.

Wouldn't you prefer to be surprised when you get there Lisa?

Believe me ajp, if I could have found pictures online, I'd have done so already. I'm not big on surprises, I like to know stuff. The pixels rarely duplicate the magic of being there I've discovered. Lately I've realised that while some Disney trippers ( as my son likes to call us) really love the planning with numbers and stuff, I am more about the visuals. Weird huh?

toughen up princess... you were watching cartoons then and you presumably still are... lifes pretty good. You only have to worry about getting old when you forget who the characters are I'd have thought.

Not of the food. I've got photos of the characters coming around the table, but I didn't take any buffet photos. They'll let you do it, but I'm just not into food photos!
