DFB, can you do a video on preparation, going over specifically what essentials to bring for a 2-3 day visit to either of the Disney parks (Florida and California)? Please 🙏🏻
If differs by season a lot! The absolute must for FL is a poncho and shoes you don't mind getting wet (rain potential 10 out of 12 months ..). I hate Crocs but that's the ticket! Both parks are cold in winter so layers!
Yay! We go to both parks every year, so thank you so much for doing an updated Disneyland food video! Please cover the holiday food and events at Disneyland when it’s time!
AJ..thank you..this video is awesome. It is hard for me. I've never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld. I'm disabled.. But I have always loved the magic of Disney in my heart. The love my heart has for Walt is so strong. To always believe in the dream is important... Even being a 51 woman...some day some how I will get to be there ..even only in my dreams💗💗💗💗
Watching this is just in time for making plans for my sons First trip to Disneyland. We love WDW but I want to make it special for him since DL is my home park as a child.
Disneyland's Restaurants are truly unique places to visit. I don't normally go to their restaurants every time I'm there, of course I always check out the small little eateries they have as well. I most definitely loved Café Orleans! That one restaurant never disappoints with its mouthwatering food items!
I can't get enough of Flo's fried chicken. I think it's a little better than Plaza Inn, though you'd think they would be the same. I also tried the cheeseburger at Flo's recently and found it to be surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it was very tasty.
@MagicalDnA I've only ever had the chicken at Flo's but may have to try the burger then. I don't recall a burger that I've extremely enjoyed at Disney. I tend to not order burgers though.
Do like me. I can only afford to go every few years now that I'm retired, so I save along the way. I buy Disney gift cards at Target to get 5% off to pay for my Disney meals. I also stay off property at a rental house, which saves me money. It is worth the effort.Start saving now. You'll love it!
Would love if you could split up the Disneyland and DCA options into different videos, it always throws me for a loop to read "Best of Disneyland" and have it also include DCA. Nothing against DCA, it's great, but it's a different park (even if it's just across that esplanade). Your WDW vids often get split up by park and would be nice for the west-coast ones, too. Easier for travelers to plan on a park-by-park basis, too.
We ate at Rancho Del Zocavo a few years ago and we got the cheese enchiladas. The cheese was not melted in the middle at all. We didn't eat there for a while after that This past spring, I tried again, got cheese enchiladas and it had cold, not melted, cheese in the middle It's a Buffet style so they can't heat it up. it was really expensive to be basically uncooked. I was very disappointed in that food but I'd liked the scenery
In Disneyland, chimichangas are only sold at the snack cart across from big thunder mountain, not at the one in the hub or at edelweiss in fantasyland!
I did not know they serve chimichangas. I never heard that. And I thought the only place I could get a corn dog was a Disney California. Now I know that I can go over and get one from stage coach. Awesome thank you
headed to the OG this fall after 30 years and YAY very excited. We are experts on Florida but extremely nervous for this. Will be there for 5 days.... and HELP! Food is a big part of the hubbys schedule so need to know what to do when one person is a foodie and the other eats like a bird....
Chip and Dale were the first characters we ever met in WDW. It was in 1972, when we took our RV to Fort Wilderness, for $11/night. Yes, I said $11/night! The next character we met, was Flower, from Bambi. I don't think there's any characters left, from Bambi. I'm old!!! LOL
I love your suggestions. I can't wait to try the lemon cone. It's always been of interest, but I've never tried it! I also love the fried chicken and the pot roast at Plaza Inn. It's a can't-miss!
Ooh, this is helping me plan out potential ideas for my own trip! I'm super curious about Tiana's Palace (though I've not had anything like gumbo before, so I may need to try a "cheaper" place to see if it would be my thing prior to the trip) and of course, all the San Fransokyio places (mostly for desserts)! Though of course, I'll honestly have a burger and corn dog or few as well~ I'm a simple robot, haha. Also thought of something that would be interesting if it happened: Imagine the chance to see Dr. Facilier at Tiana's Palace, either as a diner or maybe as a kinda "side show". Like maybe he walks in, and if Tiana's present, she'll announce "Shadow Man!" and a somewhat "side show" would begin. Nothing that would interfere with the dining experience, but something to perhaps bring some excitement or just entertain. Considering how they're from the same movie, I think it would be fun - even if you couldn't like...Sit with Facilier or anything (maybe the cast member is on break, but eats there and partakes in the show or something).
Some of the best restaurants are impossible to get a reservation or walk up list spot. Since they’ve created the reservation system I have yet to be able to get a reservation at blue bayou or lamplight lounge, even 60-90 days in advance.
Don't give up. I've been checking the app every day in the morning. Yesterday I found a 1135 reservation at Lamplight, perfect birthday surprise for me
I showed up at Lamplight Lounge this week right when they opened and got on the waitlist for only 15 minutes. I’ve done the same for Blue Bayou and showed up when they open and got a dinner reservation for 5pm.
There is gluten free churros in nomad lounge in animal kingdom and three bridges bar and grill in coronado springs resort. When you reserve a restaurant is important to disclose you are gluten free so they can help you with options and be sure to not get your food Cross contaminated
Thank you for a great overview of the Disneyland restaurants. I was wondering what kind of options are there for vegetarians and vegans, or plant-based diets? Is there a vegetarian only restaurant there? Do some of the restaurants offer Beyond Meat or Impossible substitutions? Thank you again!
A Cuban restaurant in Disneyland is more than a little ironic, when Disney World is so much closer to Cuba but apparently doesn't have any Cuban restaurants -- at least I couldn't find any or remember any.
Orrr the Disney Chimichangas suck. They are the most greasy thing I have ver had and they have zero flavor. That is NOT a chimichanga, that IS an abomination.
When my dad and I were passholders we never gained weight because we walked so much. We would also split meals because the salads were definitely big enough for two.

Thank you for mentioning the chimichangas! The turkey legs get all the publicity, but the chimis are my must-have!!!

Everyone always talks about the lobster nachos but sleep on the al pastor pork chop at Lamp Light. It’s pretty bomb.

I most definitely loved Café Orleans! That one restaurant never disappoints with its mouthwatering food items!
Definitely! Café Orleans has excellent cuisine. I recommend Plaza Inn to everyone. And Flo's in Disney's California Adventure is a favorite too.
Just scored advanced dining reservations for Blue Bayou in Oct. we’ll be there for the Oogie Boogie Bash and I’m feeling very lucky this year 😊
I haven't had Plaza's fried chicken but Flo's fried chicken is the best I've ever had. I have literally dreams about it.
I can't get enough of Flo's fried chicken. I think it's a little better than Plaza Inn, though you'd think they would be the same. I also tried the cheeseburger at Flo's recently and found it to be surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it was very tasty.

The monte cristo in cafe orleans was AMAZING
I'll be eating at the Red Rose on September 2nd! Hoping (although I don't have my hopes up) that there will be a soft opening of Tiana's.
Iconic Disneyland Resort foods? AJ, you forgot beigneits from New Orleans Square. Delicious when paired with a New Orleans Mint Julep. 😋
I'll never get to go to Disney World. So, I live vicariously through your videos. Thanks for letting me live the good life through these videos.
Maybe one day you’re dreams will come true and you’ll get to enjoy the magic here 🪄 🪩 🏰

My #1 favorite place is lamp light lounge and the lobster nachos
I've been out of touch and just getting back into the videos... AJ, it's so wonderful to hear your voice again! 🤗❤
I always love getting lunch at the hungry bear!

Do. Not. Pass. Up. On. Bengal. BBQ. That is all. Carry on. 😅
I just looked this pronunciation up. Zow-Kuh-low with accent on first syllable 😃
I did not know they serve chimichangas. I never heard that. And I thought the only place I could get a corn dog was a Disney California.
Now I know that I can go over and get one from stage coach.

Tiana's Palace is opening on September 7th
Omg yesss in Disney world or land ?

Can you do a video on Disney world’s best breakfast restaurants
I love your suggestions. I can't wait to try the lemon cone. It's always been of interest, but I've never tried it! I also love the fried chicken and the pot roast at Plaza Inn. It's a can't-miss!

Please if you can talk about universal food options too
World of Color Dessert Party is yum and fun

Great video! 👏👏👏

@@luma4902 omg tysm this is actually so helpful!!! im goin soon and i def will keep this in mind😊
Very informative
Are there any character dining options like the one in the grand california with all the princesses but with male characters?
Did you know that Ghirardelli in DCA offers a military discount? Thank you, Ghirardelli!
Eat outside the park more food for a much cheaper price!
Thank you for a great overview of the Disneyland restaurants. I was wondering what kind of options are there for vegetarians and vegans, or plant-based diets? Is there a vegetarian only restaurant there? Do some of the restaurants offer Beyond Meat or Impossible substitutions? Thank you again!
I’m going tomorrow!!!
You are cool 😎
I want a SanFran at DW so much!
Did I miss where to get those ice cream nachos???
Question. I haven't been to Disneyland in 15 years, do they still give out free buttons at the Character meals?
are hotel charachter dining resturants and bars open to all public?
Hiii aj
Woohoo!❤

Gloria Estefan's Bongo's Cuban Cafe was at Disney Springs for more than two decades. Closed in 2019. 🇨🇺
@@debbabe2254 THANKS for the contribution/reminder. Now that you mention it, it does sound familiar. Sadly I never got around to eating there.
1st?
Yes
Orrr the Disney Chimichangas suck. They are the most greasy thing I have ver had and they have zero flavor. That is NOT a chimichanga, that IS an abomination.
Yea but all that weight you add
When my dad and I were passholders we never gained weight because we walked so much. We would also split meals because the salads were definitely big enough for two.
There are some healthy choices there, too.
