Travelling to Disneyland- Food tips for Disneyland Park (and some Cali Adventure)

A great place to eat in Adventureland is Bengal Barbeque. It always gets great reviews and I can see why. The prices are fair and the meat will be great fuel for your day. (Try the bacon-wrapped Asparagus!) I recommend visiting Bengal BBQ at lunch or dinner, whichever time you tend to eat a smaller meal will be the better time to visit. Don't miss a trip to the dole cart and the Tiki room! It's a good place to get a break, sit in a cool dark place, and rest your feet. You can't have a Disneyland experience without a delicious Dole Whip! (unless you hate pineapple, of course.)

If you're looking for a nice cold treat and you're sick of eating Mickey ice cream, go for a frozen banana. They are a healthier alternative and stay cold for a lot longer. We both enjoyed frozen bananas while watching Mickey's Magical map (which is a good show to see any time of day.) Frozen bananas are coated in chocolate and nuts, so beware if you have any allergies. You can find many carts around Disney that sell these frozen treats.

If you're looking for a quick and reasonably priced lunch, grab a corn dog. But not just any corn dog! There is a cart located next to the Plaza Inn, on the very end of main street. They batter them fresh and it is hands down one of the best corn dogs I've ever had.

Another great quick and reasonable lunch can be found at Daisy's Diner in ToonTown. They serve personal pizza with appleslices, and last time I ate there I believe it cost 8 dollars. The pizza is so delicious that my mom, brother and I ate there almost every day on our first trip to Disneyland!

If you don't have breakfast booked and you want something quick to eat so that you don't miss the short AM lines, hit up Tomorrowland Terrace. They have lots of choices for a quick breakfast there,but the breakfast burrito was our personal favorite. (and very filling for a moderate price!)

If you're looking for a quiet, out of the way location to eat a quick dinner, try The Hungry Bear Restaurant. They make really decent burgers, but the best part is that their sitting is located in Critter Country; right in the back corners of Rivers of America, where you can watch ducks swim as you eat. You can even catch a glance of them preparing boats for the Fantasmic! show.

Cars Land recently opened in California Adventure, and if you like this movie, I suggest you go check it out! It looks exactly like Route 66 from the movie! The best part is the Cozy Cone motel, where you can get all sorts of food in cones! They have chili, popcorn, and our favorite, Churro Bites. If you like churros but want a unique experience with them, this is the place to go. You get a hearty helping of bite sized churros along with delectable dipping chocolate. (Which is how churros are meant to be enjoyed.) Another great thing they offer here that you can't get anywhere else is Ramones "Pear O'Dice" Soda. As you can imagine from the description, this soda is meant to be pear flavored, yet it is bright purple. My favorite color! I highly recommend this drink, as we went to Cars Land three times through our visit just so we could have a taste of this drink.

Another great thing to mention is that eating early will almost always benefit you. We tried to grab dinner around 4:30 anytime that we didn't have reservations. Restaurants, even quick service ones, can get busy quickly after 5:00. As for lunch, the best time to eat will probably be around 11 am, or 1:30- 2 pm. We are early eaters, so we always stuck to earlier meals!
