Fun story: MY giant "spiral" lollipop actually made it home with me. From the packing to the plane, it made it in one piece. And... there it stayed... in a plastic bag... for 8+ years, only rediscovered the day I "cleaned house" to get ready for college.
Same actually I'm pretty sure those only exist to either make a giant mess and get stuck to your clothes and your bag or the carpet of the car or they end up packed away somewhere never to be seen again
I stand by astronaut ice cream! They sell it in a candy store in my town and it's one of my go to treats to get! It's not sticky, it doesn't melt, and best of all you can eat a bit and save the rest for later (unlike regular ice cream). The biggest issue is people viewing it as an ice cream replacement, when it's kind of it's own thing. (Kinda. I actually can't really eat ice cream normally without getting sick but I can eat astronaut ice cream lol). If you see it as an ice cream flavored candy then you won't be let down! The only thing I wish is that there was more then just 3 flavors... I would LOVE some fruit or sherbert flavored ones, cookies and cream, ect. If they ever make a lime one that would probably be my actual favorite treat. (That being said, I'd get it out of disney if you can. It's probably cheaper in candy stores if you can find it).
@@3amhellbeast Mountain House does a freeze dried ice cream sandwich with mint ice cream now. Don't know if that's one of the three flavors you're used to but I know it's relatively new. It's pretty tasty!
My hot take: Wookie Cookie (oatmeal cream pie) is the blandest thing I've ever eaten. I was scared for a minute that I had covid and lost my sense of taste...
Oh man, I had a friend in High School who would eat multiple giant lollipops a week. We were on swim team together and at one of our meets I watched her eat a giant rainbow unicorn horn lolli over the span of about an hour. Every time AJ brings up how no one can finish those giant lollipops I always think of her 😂
I’m so happy to see Tony’s Town Square on this. I’m surprised that place is still open. It is absolutely horrible. My chicken Parmesan was like chewing on an eraser. 🤢
Of course for every entry on this list there's a million people defending IT. "HOW DARE YOU, MY LITERAL FAVORITE FOODS IN THE WORLD ARE STALE RICE KRISPIES AND FREEZE DRIED ICE CREAM"
I love buying those big suckers. When I purchase them, I place them in a Ziploc bag and break it up into pieces. I then nibble on them over time. It usually last for about a week, but this is how I have always eaten them without having a sticky mess.
For once I have to agree with Tony's. I watched a previous video that mentioned Tony's being mediocre and I was like nah I'm sure it's fine! We ate there a couple of weeks ago and yeah.... It's just ok. The food wasn't terrible but it's not worth the price at all!!! For a table of 3 with an appetizer, soft drinks and an entree each it came out to over $100. Yes when I go to WDW I expect to spend more on food but this one just wasn't it and wasn't worth it. The restaurant itself is beautifully themed I loved it but I think that's what you're paying for.
@@esciteach7997 Tony's made me appreciate olive garden more 😂 olive garden is way better and you get more for your money. My family and I had olive garden like a week after we had Tony's and we all agreed it was way better
Cosmic Rays is just pure nostalgia for me. I remember spending Thanksgiving there one time as a kid and having a turkey dinner. The food is nothing special but it’s a must stop for me any time I’m at the Magic Kingdom.
I appreciate that you give reviews even on basic food as well as the cool fancy stuff, and everything in between. My dad is a burger and hot dog kind of guy, mom my aunt and I are slightly adventurous. These videos are really helping me plan the best places for us to get food that fit our needs.
Turkey legs are and always have been amazing. I get ome every time I go to the park. The trick is to eat a small amount of one and bring some foil to wrap the rest up to take home.
While the vast majority of your food recommendations are spot on, for my family, we found Casey's hotdogs to be too much. They were chewy and very salty, then plus fries, chili, cheese, corndogs, etc, we all felt kind of lousy afterwards.
Love these videos. They are informative. It’s made me think of new options to try for my next trip. Food is a big part of the whole Disney Experience and this helps to find best options for me and my family. Thanks.
The fact that someone just had to smuggle in a corned beef sandwich into the spaceship and ended up getting it banned is the best thing I could have learned from this video 😂
Not surprised to see the turkey legs on the list. I love them, but you are right. They are very messy. The biggest con for me is that $12+ price tag. That is waaaaay to overpriced. Now if I could just find smoked turkey legs more often at the store, I'd be set.
Disney also sells the freeze dried ice cream at Mission: Space (which you pointed out on a previous vlog). I bought some when I went a few weeks ago and post-purchase the cashier told me they are the most popular item in their shop and sell out regularly. I've been too scared to open and try them.
Thank you for this video. I agree with the Cinderella’s castle has very basic food. I think they should do children dinner time and adult only, this would be great to have fine wines and make it more effective.
I finally snagged a dining reservation for Be Our Guest on October 2 (my birthday))!! I can't believe it 😭😭😭. Thank you so much for posting videos about continuing to check! I've snagged everywhere I want to eat except for Sci-Fi dining. 😁
I pride myself in being the man who finished one of those Disney swirl lollipops at 13. It was so good man Edit: My tongue and lips were blue and purple for at least a day after, that candy dye is no joke
We always try to make MK our “last day” park when we go (whether we went to it earlier in the week or not), because we want that to be our lingering memory of the trip. The fireworks and kiss goodnight are the perfect way to wrap up a trip and make us long for the next one. Also I miss the ease of the parks .we shouldn't have to plan every little thing we should enjoy the vacation and being with our family ..we should enjoy being swept up with the magic and being carefree. Glad you mentioned the castle mosaics. They are truly beautiful, and most guests never see them, let alone stop and appreciate them! Also, ill never forget the cast member maintaining the restroom near the MK first aid station. I complimented her on her work. Her face lit up and she said, “I have the best job in the world. I love the wonderful families who come through here.” She’s an inspiration to me when I’m having a tough day. Visiting Epcot for the first time was imo one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in a long time. It was so much fun to discover what each new pavilion would be like and see what food would be available. We spent a good hour at each pavilion and enjoyed taking in the sights and enjoying the food, as well as hunting for the passport stickers. It was amazing. Magic Kingdom in contrast feels too spaced out compared to Disneyland which is what we were used to having been from California. We went to MK twice and we really didn’t like it as much as Disneyland. I think it is just too spaced out due to the insane crowds. It feels overpopulated and more about maximizing capacity than it does delivering a nice experience. The employees that work there are also much more stoic since they seemed a bit on the edge having to deal with crowds that size. Not a very enjoyable experience. Personally, I enjoyed AK better but I love and miss Magic Kingdom. I had sooo much great memories there and i wanna cherish them all. Me and my family went to see going to see the fireworks on the 4th and it was amazing! The only "bad" part about Orlando is the raging sun😭. The whole Disney experience was just great and I am grateful to my parents for giving me the chance to have the fun of a lifetime. Life is short and I wanna have as much fun as i can. We just had a new addition to the family, so I hope one day she can have the same experiences as us. :) anyways Always love a good day at Magic Kingdom! so, we went to each park at least one day on our last family trip, and I have a picture of us in front of the castle, but I'm having a hard time recalling anything in particular we did at Magic Kingdom. My last solo trip, I remember going in HM & Pirates, and looking at the mosaics in the castle. I did the pirate-themed scavenger hunt, and the game where you hold a card up to the camera. I did the tiki room. I wonder why I can remember going to MK solo so much better than with family? I remember the other parks on the family trip, remember specific things we did there. MK is a bit of a blank. anyways Everytime I get to go to Walt Disney World in Florida I go to Magic Kingdom every time and at least 2 times per trip. Magic kingdom is my favorite park. The amazing holiday events like mickeys not so scary happens at Magic Kingdom and even when there's not event there's a to of rides, characters, and treats. You can also see rapunzels tower and lanterns, which I love. My favorite disney attractions are at Magic kingdom like the Haunted Mansion.Glad you mentioned the castle mosaics. They are truly beautiful, and most guests never see them, let alone stop and appreciate them!
Totally agree about CRT. We went once for the experience and after receiving plastic in my mashed potatoes, along with mediocre food..I will pass for now on. Definitely a one and done!!
So true when it comes to Pecos Bills… It was so gross. The chips were stale, the chicken tasted like it had sat out for hours, and the tortillas were hard and nasty.
The food quality at Pecos Bill has def gone down over the years…in the past, it was our go-to restaurant in the MK. Two yrs ago was the last time we ate there and it was not edible. Better choices are Colombia Harbor House and Sleepy Hallow
I had that candy apple experience with a chocolate cauldron in Universal. Yeah...don't get one and force yourself to chop at it with a plastic fork in the Florida heat.
@@KMRossy I always thought I wanted to go but..... The money needed is insane, too many people, and the heat and humidity would make me a super cranky biotch lol. 😒😜 I would love to go try the different places to eat though lol.
Awww I love astronaut ice cream LOL I don't get it at Disney because it's cheaper elsewhere. There's a very specific texture you don't get with anything else and I enjoy it a lot.
All the restaurants I’ve been in at Walt Disney World were excellent, especially the prime time 50s Café because the fried chicken there tasted just like mom used to make it taste like chicken that you make it home.
“Plastic cheese” sounds so appetizing. 😂 Great video, AJ, and wow, I totally agree about Tony’s. We had a mediocre, overpriced meal there that, unfortunately, really stuck with me. Ick.
With Disney visits: Very easy to get caught up in the moment, Disney knows this the best, so… Try new / fun things just takes over our - *better for us* - food item - healthy - hesitation. What makes watching your channel so indulgent. Thank You❗️❗️❗️
I have been a fan of DFB for a while and I have gone to Disney world several times over the last few years, but I don’t ever find myself eating in the parks ever. There’s just too much to do than to sit down eat and relax!
Used to love pecos bill when it was a burger spot. The Tex mex change is fine, I just miss the great burgers there and the condiments bar with all the fried onions and mushrooms
They probably sell it for a fortune in the parks, but "Astronaut Ice Cream" is hardly impossible to find elsewhere. I've seen it anywhere from candy stores in beach towns and even LL Bean, near the camp foods.
Thank you for another great video. I admit we almost always end up eating a Cosmic Ray's just because it is easy, basic food and air conditioned! Once it is just my husband and I going though we will probably never eat there again. I do love Harbor House though!
My mom and I were kind of jokingly saying you guys should do a video rating the best line ques for rides (even comparing/contrasting those rides in multiple parks)
Oh yeah! The turkey legs I remember going to the parks numerous times I always to try the turkey leg it looked so good. But when I got it, it was half raw and I ended up throwing it away. And it was so expensive
Agreed !! I always wanted to try one, and when I finally did back in 2016 I was very disappointed. Too salty, too chewy, too messy and too expensive. Although, I still say it’s a “must do” at least once…kind of like Beverley soda at Club Cool.
I don’t enjoy any of the “quick fix” food. I like the fake seafood place across from Haunted Mansion because it’s air conditioned and I can go upstairs. I actually agree with most of your skippable items.
If you go to Tony's on your honeymoon the Dapper Dans might serenade you at your table. It happened to my wife and I in 2004, it could happen again… (we went between two hurricanes, so it was not busy that day)
I’m not sure if I’ll make enough money in a lifetime to ever be able to spend one day at Disney Land, so I’m not sure why I’m watching these, but it’s really entertaining-
Thank you for your videos. We just booked our first ever trip to Disney world! We have been binge watching your videos to prepare for our trip. I never splurge on treats/desserts. However when ever someone talks about their trip to DW the desserts always are the first things mentioned. So I am planning to try some. But like you said for the price point and the calories it has to be worth it. I may have to try one of those Mickey caramel apples though! Every time I see one my mouth waters.
My sister LOVE getting our MM candy apples but only at the end of the day when we can eat at our resort for dinner or at Disney Springs at a table. No knife needed. Yes I said it.....dinner. We are on vacation after all.
We love Tony's - I don't know why it gets such a bad rap. The bread service is great, and the pizza is fresh and tasty. The theming is fun and location can't be beat. We went there for a fun, quick dinner before Boo Bash and had a great time.
We have never been in all the trips we've gone but we were thinking about just giving it a shot this next trip. We love liberty tree but its a very heavy meal on a hot day.
I had the steak there and it was fine. My son’s kids meal pizza was a dismal failure. This was back when you could get the priority seating for the parade so at the time it was worth it to us.
I agree! We really enjoyed Sitting on the patio & people watching. We ate there on the meal plan though , so maybe I would feel differently if I had paid out of pocket:)
Cake pops are the worst. I once had a roommate who worked at Starbucks. He was allowed to bring home all the leftover food every day. While it's not great food, I had zero complaints about having a fridge full of it for free.
I use the same theory for Comicons that I will for Disney. I plan to only eat and buy things (except water) I can't get or find online or anywhere else. I can get a turkey leg at the local truck stop.
Fwiw, might be time to revisit Maria & Enzo's. They may have had a bad night, but had 1 visit post-covid and it was exactly what you describe at Tonys for uninspired Italian at a Mickey Mark-up.
Hello everyone! I haven't been in Disney world since '98. Hopefully can go before age 60, but wanted to say to DFB people Thank you and keep up the good work.
Since my family goes there once a year, we just use food as fuel which is why we like the turkey legs and cosmic rays, although every year I explore more and more
i remember at disneyland paris i ate this mickey shaped chocolate cake that literally tasted like dirt. it was about 14 years ago now but i still remember it like it was yesterday, it was so bad!
In the 1990's, the Future Burger In Tomorrowland, the American Burger at New World Showcase and the Frontier Burger in Adventureland were all the same thing...just the name was changed to protect the innocent! Glad those days are past, but our family (including our grandchildren) are thankful we now have DFB to guide the way to great (and not so great) Disney food! Thank you, AJ!!
I did not know that Pecos had a toppings bar before!! I went in August for my Honeymoon and I loved the food, although a toppings bar would have been awesome, other than that the food was actually delicious!
I've never had bad food at a Disney park, but certain things can be bland or dry. Example- counter service burger and fries. The burger party was most likely cooked 10-15 minutes before you get it. Also, the family style dinners were not great, usually overcooked somewhat and kind of dry. 3 I recall were Liberty Tree Tavern, The Land, and Polynesian Luau.
"It's you and a plastic knife - and sadness is your only result."
Need this on a shirt.
I know right !!!! I love this so much😅
100% yes
I know! AJ cracks me up! 🤣👍👏👏❤️
As soon as it's you and a plastic knife versus a carmel/candy hard item it's time to reconsider absolutely everything that has led you to that point.
True😂
I like how all the entries are individual foods, but then Tony's is just Tony's
We are at Tony’s and really enjoyed it
@@altaalta123 you can get the same things at Olive Garden
Poor Tony's 😭
Don't get me wrong, though, but I think Tony's is like a Disney World version of Olive Garden
@@megspitzer9406 I think that’s the point that AJ is trying to make.
Fun story:
MY giant "spiral" lollipop actually made it home with me. From the packing to the plane, it made it in one piece.
And... there it stayed... in a plastic bag... for 8+ years, only rediscovered the day I "cleaned house" to get ready for college.
Was it edible?
@@elbowsbuns1896 Actually yes, it was. I did end up throwing it away but I ate part of it to test.
@@Treysor101 very brave
Same actually I'm pretty sure those only exist to either make a giant mess and get stuck to your clothes and your bag or the carpet of the car or they end up packed away somewhere never to be seen again
Are you guys in the parks every day? I'd love to see something like a behind the scenes video or like a day in the life of DFB lol!
Me too!
Yesss
Me too!
Yess!
Definitely not everyday, I don’t think she lives in Florida but she definitely goes every few months
LOL My son LOVES freeze-dried ice cream! He discovered it when he was about 10, and now he's 20 and I still try to find it for him every Christmas.
Awww! Bless you Ma’am!
I'm in my 40s and I still love freeze dried ice cream!
I stand by astronaut ice cream! They sell it in a candy store in my town and it's one of my go to treats to get!

That’s me internally as I watch this video 😂 FREEZE DRIED ICE CREAM IS NOT CARDBOARD! 😭
I love stale rice krispies and I make my own as well plus I make homemade marshmallows too, I just love them.
This is me fr fr 😭 hate on Rice Krispie treats all you want (I really hate them either way) but you DO NOT hate on the freeze-dried ice cream.
Columbia Harbor House is my favorite and a must do every trip. Every time I sit upstairs it’s just me and my family. So nice!
For my family it’s not a true Disney trip unless we go to Harbor House!!!
Went there a few days ago with my friend and have been craving the sandwich I got there !
Idk why but AJ's delivery on this script had me cracking up. Great job AJ! Thanks for making this stuff so fun.
I love the freeze dried ice cream. Yes it doesn't really have a flavor, but the crunch is sooooo satisfying!

Great idea.
That's just heresy. The only correct way to eat a giant lollipop is while wearing a cute little sailor suit with golden curls sewn into the hat.
That's dumb.
Know that the tasty looking pretzels sticking out of any product (candy apples for example) will be stale to the point of being inedible.
"I'm not a regular hot dog, I'm a cool hot dog." First, A+ reference. Second, if this doesn't sum up Casey's perfectly, I don't know what does.
Lol
My plan is to get a caramel apple at the end of the day and get a sharp knife from room service as an evening treat🥰
Hi AJ, I’m gonna try again 😊. Can you make a new video for the best vegetarian dishes, or best restaurants for vegetarians?
VeganWDW is an awesome channel to check out for that!
I’m not a Rice Krispie person at all but the fresh ones they make in Disney world are truly magical

@@KMRossy I always thought I wanted to go but..... The money needed is insane, too many people, and the heat and humidity would make me a super cranky biotch lol. 😒😜 I would love to go try the different places to eat though lol.
Awww I love astronaut ice cream LOL I don't get it at Disney because it's cheaper elsewhere. There's a very specific texture you don't get with anything else and I enjoy it a lot.
All the restaurants I’ve been in at Walt Disney World were excellent, especially the prime time 50s Café because the fried chicken there tasted just like mom used to make it taste like chicken that you make it home.
I learned so much on this AJ!
“Plastic cheese” sounds so appetizing. 😂 Great video, AJ, and wow, I totally agree about Tony’s. We had a mediocre, overpriced meal there that, unfortunately, really stuck with me. Ick.
Haha, this may sound bad, but I love when you are negative. Is that too strong a word? 😂
Awesome video.
With Disney visits: Very easy to get caught up in the moment, Disney knows this the best, so… Try new / fun things just takes over our - *better for us* - food item - healthy - hesitation. What makes watching your channel so indulgent. Thank You❗️❗️❗️
I have been a fan of DFB for a while and I have gone to Disney world several times over the last few years, but I don’t ever find myself eating in the parks ever. There’s just too much to do than to sit down eat and relax!
"Costs too much to waste your time and money on" what a perfect definition of BobCheap-eeekWorld
Thank you AJ.
I'm saving up to achieve my dream of one day going to Disney world around halloween or Christmas. When Sydney is out of lockdown.
🙏s for Australia!
Hello
I totally agree with Starbucks except unfortunately that's the only place you can buy the Awesome carrot cake cookie! It's a must do for me.
We are coming to Disney world very soon in 2022
We always go to Kozmic Rays when we go to Magic Kingdom.
What about my carrot cake cookies at Hollywood studios? That is where they have them bucks beans!
My family loves Tony’s Town Square! 😆 atmosphere and simple Italian food is great for us! 🍷🍝 always enjoy your videos AJ 🖤
Used to love pecos bill when it was a burger spot. The Tex mex change is fine, I just miss the great burgers there and the condiments bar with all the fried onions and mushrooms
They probably sell it for a fortune in the parks, but "Astronaut Ice Cream" is hardly impossible to find elsewhere. I've seen it anywhere from candy stores in beach towns and even LL Bean, near the camp foods.
Please do the same for the other parks :)
SO agree about Cosmic Ray's. Sonny Eclipse isn't enough for me to enjoy the food or crowded dining room.
Thank you for another great video. I admit we almost always end up eating a Cosmic Ray's just because it is easy, basic food and air conditioned! Once it is just my husband and I going though we will probably never eat there again. I do love Harbor House though!
Hello
My mom and I were kind of jokingly saying you guys should do a video rating the best line ques for rides (even comparing/contrasting those rides in multiple parks)
I skipped the soft serve ice cream at universal this week for this exact reason ! Held out for something else and it was worth it🙌
Oh yeah! The turkey legs I remember going to the parks numerous times I always to try the turkey leg it looked so good. But when I got it, it was half raw and I ended up throwing it away. And it was so expensive
Agreed !! I always wanted to try one, and when I finally did back in 2016 I was very disappointed. Too salty, too chewy, too messy and too expensive. Although, I still say it’s a “must do” at least once…kind of like Beverley soda at Club Cool.
I don’t enjoy any of the “quick fix” food. I like the fake seafood place across from Haunted Mansion because it’s air conditioned and I can go upstairs. I actually agree with most of your skippable items.
If you go to Tony's on your honeymoon the Dapper Dans might serenade you at your table. It happened to my wife and I in 2004, it could happen again… (we went between two hurricanes, so it was not busy that day)
This is one of my favorite videos from you guys and I love your videos.
I’m not sure if I’ll make enough money in a lifetime to ever be able to spend one day at Disney Land, so I’m not sure why I’m watching these, but it’s really entertaining-
The bug living it's best life, swimming in macaroni cheese at 4:20. Hilarious, hahaha.
I adore Cosmic Rays and it’s the first place I eat anytime I get to go to Disney. And I fully agree with that statement.
AJ: “Plastic frosting? 😣”
Also AJ: “Plastic cheese? 🤩”
😉
You had me at the Grey Stuff cupcake!! 😍
Thank you for your videos. We just booked our first ever trip to Disney world! We have been binge watching your videos to prepare for our trip. I never splurge on treats/desserts. However when ever someone talks about their trip to DW the desserts always are the first things mentioned. So I am planning to try some. But like you said for the price point and the calories it has to be worth it. I may have to try one of those Mickey caramel apples though! Every time I see one my mouth waters.
My sister LOVE getting our MM candy apples but only at the end of the day when we can eat at our resort for dinner or at Disney Springs at a table. No knife needed. Yes I said it.....dinner. We are on vacation after all.
Funnel cakes!! Gotta get a funnel cake. I know they are expensive, but they taste AMAZING! Especially with chocolate and powdered sugar. 😋
Have you done a video for people going to Walt Disney World that are Diabetic's and do the shops offer sugar free alternative desserts and snacks?
We love Tony's - I don't know why it gets such a bad rap. The bread service is great, and the pizza is fresh and tasty. The theming is fun and location can't be beat. We went there for a fun, quick dinner before Boo Bash and had a great time.
We have never been in all the trips we've gone but we were thinking about just giving it a shot this next trip. We love liberty tree but its a very heavy meal on a hot day.
I had the steak there and it was fine. My son’s kids meal pizza was a dismal failure. This was back when you could get the priority seating for the parade so at the time it was worth it to us.
I agree. We like Tony's , and are not big fans of Skipper's Canteen. We have eaten at both multiple times to make a better judgement.
I agree! We really enjoyed Sitting on the patio & people watching. We ate there on the meal plan though , so maybe I would feel differently if I had paid out of pocket:)
Cake pops are the worst.
I once had a roommate who worked at Starbucks. He was allowed to bring home all the leftover food every day. While it's not great food, I had zero complaints about having a fridge full of it for free.
I use the same theory for Comicons that I will for Disney. I plan to only eat and buy things (except water) I can't get or find online or anywhere else. I can get a turkey leg at the local truck stop.
Fwiw, might be time to revisit Maria & Enzo's. They may have had a bad night, but had 1 visit post-covid and it was exactly what you describe at Tonys for uninspired Italian at a Mickey Mark-up.
Hello everyone! I haven't been in Disney world since '98. Hopefully can go before age 60, but wanted to say to DFB people Thank you and keep up the good work.
Since my family goes there once a year, we just use food as fuel which is why we like the turkey legs and cosmic rays, although every year I explore more and more
i remember at disneyland paris i ate this mickey shaped chocolate cake that literally tasted like dirt. it was about 14 years ago now but i still remember it like it was yesterday, it was so bad!
Thank you for the vlog. I don't usually buy food in Magic Kingdom. I will wait until I go back to my room for lunch.
I’m not a dessert type of person but you’re totally right about the apples. It’s hard to eat them if you’re on the go
Definitely agree with the royal table!
AJ: No one finishes those giant lollipops
Me: *crumbles into dust because apparently I don’t exist*
You are a legend
I used to bite them, they last 7 minutes in that way.
DFB Thanos snapped you out of existence 😭
In the 1990's, the Future Burger In Tomorrowland, the American Burger at New World Showcase and the Frontier Burger in Adventureland were all the same thing...just the name was changed to protect the innocent! Glad those days are past, but our family (including our grandchildren) are thankful we now have DFB to guide the way to great (and not so great) Disney food! Thank you, AJ!!
We need this video on allll of the parks! Super helpful.
I did not know that Pecos had a toppings bar before!! I went in August for my Honeymoon and I loved the food, although a toppings bar would have been awesome, other than that the food was actually delicious!
The toppings bar is famous.
I love how witty AJ has been recently with side comments 😄
I've never had bad food at a Disney park, but certain things can be bland or dry. Example- counter service burger and fries. The burger party was most likely cooked 10-15 minutes before you get it.
Also, the family style dinners were not great, usually overcooked somewhat and kind of dry. 3 I recall were Liberty Tree Tavern, The Land, and Polynesian Luau.
