Title: Disney Food Pictures
Post by: dagobert on January 21, 2010, 08:29:49 PM
I'm always interested in seeing food pictures and so I thought I will start a new topic just for Disney Food Pictures.

Hopefully you like them and feel free to post your pictures!!

Walt's Restaurant - April 2006 and December 2006:

Photos have been removed!

what a great idea! I loved looking at your pictures and they really made me hungry - well, at least the first ones of Walt's and the l'Auberge!  :wink:

I hope some more are to follow!

Ah, so glad to see we all take pictures of our food...  :D

Here are some of mine...

These I already posted in my last TR

From Walt's, the salmon:

And the cheesecake:

These are from my trip in August 2008; we treated ourselves to a stay in a suite in the DLH, and called Room Service

For starters, the smoked salmon:

unfortunately, i don't have any food pictures from my previous trips to DLP, but i'll definetly take
pics next month and i'll post them here  :wink:
Walt's Restaurant's food looks the best imo, Colonel Hati's Pizza Outpost's food looks really really bad  :lol:
I'm sure you'll think twice about going there in the future hehe.

You are absolutely right. Although the food of Colonel Hati's doesn't look very appealing on the pictures, it tastes very good and has the same quality like the pizzas and pastas at Bella Notte. I think both restaurants are using the same products from "Buitoni".

Walt's is also our favorite restaurant at DLRP, unfortunately it was closed during our last visit.

This is a genius thread  =D> ( and pretty helpful in a ''should I try there'' kinda way )

I haven't any food pictures to post but I will take lots of photo's when I go in a few weeks ( we have the 'free' full dining vouchers so it will be food-a-plenty ) and then come back and show them to you!  :D

We have never been to Annette's before and hope to on this trip...so more photo's of food from there would appeal to me  :P

The photo of the 'shoe/chocolate mousse' from Walt's I think...looks soooooooo gorgeous....better than a McFlurry from McDonalds that's for sure!!!  :lol:

I would like to apologise in advance for the abundance of burgers. I just really like the burgers in the park, outside of DLP I don't really eat a lot of them to be honest.
I do eat other things in the park too, but I'm not very good at taking pictures of meals, I should improve on it :)

October 2005:

Halloween donut in Market House Deli on Main Street:

When I first looked at this pic, I was really confused as to where the hand was coming from!? I wasn't sure if the person had been Photoshopped out, then I realised the arm was leaning across from the left side of the pic!

It looks really obvious now, but it had me confused for a good couple of minutes!  :D  :oops:

The hand is there to show how big this cocktail was. Claudia tried to get out of the picture so she was leaning to the left side.

The food in Agraba Café looks really nice!
And I really must remember the veggie burger in Cascadeurs for the next time I go with my bf.
He's not a vegetarian but he tries to eat as little meat as possible so he'll be pleased to hear about this I'm sure :)

Hey, I have some food to contribute to this discussion. Both of these were "meals" whereby you get a sandwich, bag of crisps, dessert and cold drink for €11.95.

Here's a photo of the Croque-Monsieur and "Mum Cake Chocolat" you can get from the Market House Deli, on Main Street, U.S.A:

(//http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2239943/axojpweo/IMG_0710.jpg)

I actually took a photo of the menu at the Market House Deli, which shows all of the options:

(//http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2239943/axojpweo/IMG_0718.jpg)

And here's a photo of the Croque Monsieur and Mousse Cake you used to be able to get at the Backlot Express at the Walt Disney Studios. I say "used to" because the restaurant has now turned into the Blockbuster Cafe. The menu's probably the same though :-)

Thanks for posting your food pics. I've never tried a Croque Monsieur at DLRP, only once in a nice little restaurant near Notre Dame. Since I've become a vegeterian I don't eat it anymore. But if I'm not mistaken DLRP also offers a veggie version with mushrooms. Maybe I will try one next time, because the one on your picture looks really good.

I was about to say some of it looks like slop :( but then i'm not a fan of couscous either. Some of Disney's buffets are dreadful value for money although for meat eaters I think Crocket's Tavern is excellent.

Quote from: "gothprincess"Sorry for dusting off old threads but all the food at the agrabah cafe looks veggie is it?

If you are referring to my Agrabah pictures, then the food is vegeterian, because my girlfriend and I are vegeterian, but the resteraunt serves meat as well. In our opinion it is one of the best restaurants at DLRP concerning vegeterian food, especially the salads are great.
Title: Re: Disney Food Pictures
Post by: gothprincess on September 06, 2010, 12:51:10 AM
Thanks, the whole buffet looked veggie not a serloin in site:-( it looked like it was mainly cold food too which sounds great in July but we're going in Febuary.

TBH the food is the one thing I'm not looking forward to I'm going for the first time but from everything I have read from menues and trip reports the food costs a fortune and it hit and miss at best :-( I'm really worried we'll end up paying a fortune for food we don't want to eat.

It really is hit and miss in a lot of the eateries, if you got served the same quality food for the money it costs in your home town you would refuse to pay for it. But because it's Disney, we should all behave like sheep and accept it. Don't get me wrong, my wife, daughter and I love DLP (42 times) but it doesn't give them the right to rip people off with shoddy food. I've never really questioned the service and when you factor in the small sums that DLP pay for the foodstuffs they buy it p**ses me off. We've learned to eat at certain places (and those are slowly being thinned out by DLP due to penny pinching) but as much as we love the place, how long should we put up with it or should we start eating at all the cheap & nasty food outlets? - Not trying to sound snobby - I'm not, I come from a very working class background but we as have most of you, spent thousands at DLP and just getting a bit jarred off because of cuts at our expense. (btw we're going back in Nov 2010) :)

last time i was there the food was the same as i remember (2008 was last visit) but mostly the mickey pizza seems reallllly hit and miss, sometimes it looks just like i remember and other times i find my self asking 'could you spare the cheese and tomato puree' i would be so disapointed if i got some mickey pizza like the ones i have seen on some pictures because i love the mickey pizza =] but am really pickey with how i eat pizza it needs to have plenty of cheese and little tomato puree... =/

The food served at DLRP in recent years is a shame, especially the vegeterian options. I know we are a minority, but having been to WDW and there they tried everything for us. They even created something new for us that wasn't on the menu. Although I read on other forums that at WDW the quality is also declining. Most members there blame the Disney Dining Plan. They say that the portions are too big and so much food is wasted.
In February the waiter at Walt's got angy on us, because we asked for the vegeterian options and after we asked he only spoke French with us and was very unfriendly. I was so disappointed, because it was my favorite restaurant. At least Disney appologized after we have sent an complaint.
That's also a reason why I can't wait to see DL Anaheim next year or in early 2012. In the US resorts it seems that you get more in return for your money.

We think that Agrabah Cafe and the restaurants in DV run by Groupe Flo, like Cafe Mickey, offer a better service than the restaurants in the parks.

the only complaint anyone has with dlp is the food- majority anyway, but you have to just get over it.
 It wouldnt be so bad if the prices paid compared with the standards of food were the same. Thats why going to macdonalds in the village is a good idea at least you know what you are getting!
we like cafe mickey, steakhouse, plaza gardens wasnt bad at least there were vegetables instead of chips and burgers!
gonna try auberge, and lucky nugget this year.

For the money I have to pay for the food at DLRP, I really expect something better. The table service restaurants aren't bad. Most of the time the food was really great. It is the fast food that's bad at DLRP. I know many people go to McDo because it is cheaper than in the parks, but I don't like McDo. For me it is the worst food you can get and so it is no option.
I just hope that one day DLRP will rethink their food options and bring back a better quality. I would be so happy if DLRP's food would be more like WDW's food. There the quality is fine for the money you pay. At least that's my opinion and based on our visit in 2008.

Cafe Mickey and the Steakhouse were always fine for us. Maybe that's because they aren't owned by Disney.

Annette's has a great interior and okay food. I enjoy eating there, but the price you pay for the food always seems too high for the quality you get. Here's Annette's 2010 menu:

When we went to Annette's in July, the service was rather slow, the food came to us cold and my parents seemed to moan that the prices were too high... I'd read some good reviews about it on the forum and some other places. I think it's because we were there on a really busy high season day, but thats no excuse. They should have hired more staff!

Agree completely, I can get McD's at home and i'm not what you'd call a fan, the cheap food outlets are pretty grim at DLP and before I get shot by some users, yes I understand that the cost of going to DLP for hotels/park tickets/travel is expensive enough so many guests save costs on food by eating at the lets say "more affordable" outlets. It's mostly hard to fault the restaurants in the village but then we mostly eat at Ludwigs, Steak House, Rainforest, Cafe Mickey in the village and at the table service restaurants or Lucky Nugget in the park (with the exception of Casey's - we HAVE to eat at Casey's every day - normally get some food and wait for the parade to start :) ). What bugs me is that the buffet service food seems to have taken a nose dive in terms of quality with the exception of maybe the all you can eat offerings at Lucky Nugget and Crocketts Tavern (why do they do those ribs and wings etc so well?). The worst change in my eyes was when the Sequoia Lodge Beaver Creek Tavern went from those absolutely wonderful skewers and salad starter to the incredibly bland buffet that they have now, the skewers were a real touch of the mounties style food but as usual, cost cutting takes over and we end up with cheap inedible errrrrrr bird cage sweepings.

I just hope that one day DLRP will rethink their food options and bring back a better quality. I would be so happy if DLRP's food would be more like WDW's food. There the quality is fine for the money you pay. At least that's my opinion and based on our visit in 2008.

Cafe Mickey and the Steakhouse were always fine for us. Maybe that's because they aren't owned by Disney.

Agree completely, I can get McD's at home and i'm not what you'd call a fan, the cheap food outlets are pretty grim at DLP and before I get shot by some users, yes I understand that the cost of going to DLP for hotels/park tickets/travel is expensive enough so many guests save costs on food by eating at the lets say "more affordable" outlets. It's mostly hard to fault the restaurants in the village but then we mostly eat at Ludwigs, Steak House, Rainforest, Cafe Mickey in the village and at the table service restaurants or Lucky Nugget in the park (with the exception of Casey's - we HAVE to eat at Casey's every day - normally get some food and wait for the parade to start :) ). What bugs me is that the buffet service food seems to have taken a nose dive in terms of quality with the exception of maybe the all you can eat offerings at Lucky Nugget and Crocketts Tavern (why do they do those ribs and wings etc so well?). The worst change in my eyes was when the Sequoia Lodge Beaver Creek Tavern went from those absolutely wonderful skewers and salad starter to the incredibly bland buffet that they have now, the skewers were a real touch of the mounties style food but as usual, cost cutting takes over and we end up with cheap inedible errrrrrr bird cage sweepings.

We also eat a lot in the DV restaurants you have mentioned. They are all owned by Groupe Flo and in my opinion their restaurants offer a better food. They are also more flexible for special requests than Disney. It is always said that there is something like the Disney difference. At DLRP, especially in terms of food, it should be called the Groupe Flo difference.

I remember back in 2000 and 2006 the food at DLRP was really good, but unfortunately in recent years it went downhill while the prices rose. But maybe I wasn't that picky back then. After experiencing WDW I was disappointed by DLRP's food.

According to the newest D23 magazine DLRP has a really good chef. Unfortunately he is responsible for all types of food served at DLRP. Maybe it would be better if these responsibilities are split between more people. Perhaps the quality would be better again.

Flan cake and Mickey brioche.
The Mickey brioche was really quite good but the flan cake was pretty aweful.  It was way too sweet and had little flavor otherwise X_x

In February we have been to the Rainforest Cafe in DV for the first time and we got some really good food. I had the veggie burger and my girlfriend got a veggie stir fry. We have also been to the Rainforest Cafe in Chicago, but it was a liitle bit disappointing, so we were a little bit skeptical when we tried the DV RFC.

Annette's, Cafe Mickey were always great.

Thanks for all the food pictures. Now I'm hungry.

I just almost pee'd myself - just how much was that rump steak with that huge portion of fries and that gargantuan side salad?? - 23-25€ ?????? or more? - There can't have been more than 8-10 fries in that bowl and my gerbil would have starved on that side salad.

Here's a quick list of the places we ate, I didn't get photo's for everywhere like I'd wanted to, but here's what I got.

First day:
Rainforest Cafe
Boyfriend had spicy wings to start and I had a steak for mains, he had burger. Here's a picture of the steak
(//http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z48/Laniyeah/DISNEY27-1.jpg)
The next day we ate at Auberge de Cendrillon and it was amazing :) Met Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Cinderella.
Here's pictures of the menu for anyone who wants to see:

(//http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z48/Laniyeah/DISNEY115.jpg)
We paid about 65 EUROS with tips for our meal
We had the set menu with cocktails, appertiefs of prawns, three mini starters and veal for mains with three little deserts and wine and a hot chocolate.
Here's a pic of the deserts
(//http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z48/Laniyeah/DISNEY124.jpg)
Before that we'd stopped for some snacks at the Cable bakery place
(//http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z48/Laniyeah/DISNEY86.jpg)
(//http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z48/Laniyeah/DISNEY87.jpg)

Day three we ate at the Cowboy cookout for lunch and sat around the fire. No pictures but I had a smoked half chicken that was really good.
Later on we went to King Ludwig's and I had another steak but with mozzarella and tomatoe salad to start, I thought it was a little like build your own bruscetta
(//http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z48/Laniyeah/DISNEY139.jpg)

Then on our last day we ate at Liki Tiki's(?) in the studio's and the chicken nuggets I had were the only food I'd had on the holiday that weren't up to good standards, could only eat two of them.
We then had a hot chocolate at starbucks and the deli then a Mcdonalds before getting the train home.

Finally found this thread! I'll chuck our food photos in here from our trip on the 10-12 Jan 2011. My brother always takes pics of the meals whenever he goes anyway, its turned into a bit of a running joke tbf!

Heres the one's I already posted in the trip report, which was our final day when we went to the Rainforest Cafe and it exceeded my expectations and previous experience. The Chili I had was absolutely delicious. All were on the "Menu Cha Cha" which is main & dessert for 21.50 Euros, the tree top steak was 3E extra.

Rainforest Cafe


Main: Savanna Parmigana

(//http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3816/16375110150358920790394.jpg)

Main: Rainforest Chilli Con Carne (Delicious, Highly Recommended)

(//http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/843/16829110150358920855394.jpg)

Main: Tree Top Steak

(//http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9969/16846210150358920925394.jpg)

Dessert: Moelleux au Chocolat

(//http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5852/16791210150358921015394.jpg)

Dessert: Vacherin Franboise


(//http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4476/16867710150358921115394.jpg)

Lunch of Day 1- the cheesy hot dog from Caseys Corner  :D

(//http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4654/16566910150358822885394.jpg)

It may look rank but it filled a hole and was tasty enough despite being pretty messy!

Annettes Diner

Starters: Hash Brown Potato Wedges, Chicken Wings and Onion Rings
(//http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4092/16877010150358830120394.jpg)

I loved the hash browns, whereas my brothers thought the Chicken Wings were superb, although Im not a wing person myself so took their word for it!

Main: One of the burgers
. We all had Burgers but can;t remember what one this is except that it isn't my one (I had the European one with Blue Cheese and a potato rosti in which was pretty nice, but the rosti was a little strange)

(//http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9421/34821101503588313003945.jpg)

Milkshake: Strawberry and Caramel


(//http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/2985/16579110150358831200394.jpg)

Beautiful milkshakes, almost a dessert (tbf they were in the dessert section but that didn't stop us  :P ). I had Banana and Peanut Butter but it was mainly banana. We all had 2 flavours, but from what we remember only 1 flavour seemed to come through in each. They were still really nice however.

Sequoia Lodge Breakfast Buffet:

Just chuck it all on as you do!

(//http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/1786/16626510150358835435394.jpg)

Planet Hollywood:

Starter: Chicken Crunch

(//http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8662/16277710150358903180394.jpg)

Starters: Buffalo Chicken Tenders and Texas Tostados (Although Im sure they were called something else like BBQ Wontons):

(//http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6480/16286310150358903250394.jpg)

I adore the buffalo tenders- I am a massive fan of the hot sauce with blue cheese dip to cool it down, but I hate wings. I was gutted when I went to the PH in London and they only did the wings, so I was glad that the DLRP one still sticks to the old menu and layout. At least over here I can get my fix at TGI Fridays!  I much prefer it to the re-vamped London restaurant which has lost a lot of the identity since its move up the road to Haymarket. My brother had the Wontons (could be the texas tostados as they were tortillas) and they will lovely as well with chicken, cheese and sauce on top of soft nachos.

Main: LA Lasagna

(//http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/2046/16299310150358903385394.jpg)

I love this dish, thankfully they still do it in London too. A nice twist on a Lasagne with the hard pasta shell casing and the meat and sauce instead. Being a greedy pig I had chips too! Note the 10Euro coupon that we had got off Ebay for a few quid- comes in very handy to search for these before you leave.

Main: Fajitas

(//http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1972/16827710150358903495394.jpg)




Overall, we had very positive experiences of the food at DLRP. Yes, they are relatively expensive but we had expected that, and indeed overestimated how much it would cost as the bills were coming in less than what we had expected, generally just under 100 Euros for 3 people, usually ending up around the 25-35 Euros each which is reasonable for a meal out. We didnt lunch much in the park, the short 10-6 opening hours meant every second counts so it was a case of grabbing a hot dog or a waffle or some popcorn on the go. With those just being about 8 Euros each it meant that we didnt spend nearly as much on the food as we thought.

Rainforest Cafe was lovely- last time when I went with the girlfriend it seemed to be over-expensive and not particularily good but this time around it was very nice indeed and our mains were delicious. Planet Hollywood we have all done before, so it was nothing new but very nice all the same. Annettes was nice as a burger bar, the only downer being our table was incredibly cramped.

Hope this all helps, and doesn't make anyone as hungry as me as I sit here looking at all the photos of delicious food whilst I'm on a diet eating cereal for lunch!
