Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
In our quest to eat at all of the Disneyland Resort restaurants (all in the interests of research, you know!) Lee and I had dinner at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney last month. We arrived at 5:30 for our 5:30 Priority Seating. The restaurant was almost completely empty, and the hostess directed us … Continue reading "Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen"

La Brea Bakery Cafe

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I’ve walked by this restaurant hundreds of times (since it is between Disneyland’s tram stop and the park entrance), but until recently I’d never eaten there. I can tell you that I’ll be eating there a lot more often in the future! We had lunch there on a cool winter day – La Brea Bakery … Continue reading "La Brea Bakery Cafe"

Liberty Tree Tavern Pagers

Posted on by Jack Spence
A very old tradition has died at the Liberty Tree Tavern at the Magic Kingdom. In the past, when guests checked in at the podium, they were asked what state they were from. Then, when it was time to be seated, the host or hostess would call out in town-crier fashion, “Hear ye! Hear ye! … Continue reading "Liberty Tree Tavern Pagers"

Yak & Yeti Update

Posted on by Jack Spence
Last week, I had lunch at the Yak & Yeti table-service restaurant for the second time. I’m happy to report that every thing is still top notch. The food was tasty and beautifully presented and the service was attentive and friendly. My only comment is that the prices are a little high for lunch. It’s … Continue reading "Yak & Yeti Update"

The Diamond Horseshoe in the Magic Kingdom is currently serving lunch from 11am to 4pm during the busy President’s week. Premade sandwiches, a Caesar Salad, and drinks are available.

Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Jim Ames, the producer of Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival, about this year’s upcoming Festival. This is the Festival’s third year, and it keeps getting a little bigger (and I think a little better) every year. The major change this year is that the Festival will … Continue reading "Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival"

Healthier Snack Options

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Last year Disneyland started offering a greater selection of healthier snack options in the parks, and there have been more fruit stands popping up around the parks. Toon Up Treats in Toontown now serves only fruit, drinks, and snacks, and there’s a fairly new fruit/snack stand in Tomorrowland at the base of the Observatron. Traditional … Continue reading "Healthier Snack Options"

Quick Trip to Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I made a quick commando-type trip to Disneyland/DCA on Friday – my objective was to take photos of as many menus as I could since I haven’t updated them for AllEars in a while. (And if anyone out there is interested in helping with that in the future, please let me know!) I’m used to … Continue reading "Quick Trip to Disneyland"

Pizzafari

Posted on by Jack Spence
I ate at the Pizzafari restaurant in the Animal Kingdom January 10th. When I got to my table I noticed a small plastic card on the tray along with my order. The card featured Timon and Pumba with the inscription, “Do not feed the animals. Your yummies are not good for our tummies.” I thought … Continue reading "Pizzafari"
