A Vegetarian Review of the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
When starting to plan our trip to Disneyland, and specifically when reading the Unofficial Guide, one of the things that struck me as interesting was that out of all of the restaurants throughout the park, the highest rated one was a bakery with a pretty small menu. However, after eating there, I definitely understand why…

A Vegetarian Review of Cafe Orleans

The Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney in Disneyland
Welcome to the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney, Disneyland! I’ll be honest. The Rainforest Café has never been my favorite Disneyland restaurant.

One of Disneyland’s strengths lies in its plethora of snack foods. I’d speculate you could spend an entire day at the park eating nothing but items from walk-up windows and carts. Let’s see if we can make it through a day of snacking around Disneyland! Breakfast being the most important meal of the day, we’ll start with…
Dinner at the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
Welcome to the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe The Jolly Holiday Bakery Café is a fairly recent addition to Disneyland Park’s lineup of quick service eateries.

Beignets at Disneyland

Mmm, Mickey-shaped, airy, powdered-sugar delights that practically melt in your mouth. If you’re looking for beignets at Disneyland, then you’ll find them at the Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square. The…

Welcome to Marceline’s Confectionery! My family and I usually rush through Downtown Disneyland to get to the theme parks.
