food IS a theme park
ATTENTION ALDI SHOPPERS: A product recently sold at the popular market chain has been recalled by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
ALDI!
Back in April, ALDI offered Casa Mamita Churro Bites, mini churros filled with chocolate hazelnut cream. However, according to the FDA, the product has been recalled because it may contain undeclared milk.
These ALDI Finds will be available from April 23rd until April 29th, so if you see something that catches your fancy, make sure you head over to ALDI next week!

It’s always fun to whip up some Disney snacks at home when you’re missing your favorite park!
Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches
Along with doing some fun activities around the house, we’ve also been cooking up eats and treats like the Carrot Cake Cookie, DIY Dole Whip, Mickey S’more Cupcakes, and MORE. And, this Disney Food Blog reader, who happens to be a chef is making some extra magic in the kitchen!
From the moment we step foot into the Disney Parks, we’re ready to get another churro or two. Honestly, they’re just so good, we can’t resist have all that cinnamon sugar (on top of that CRUNCH).
Toffee Churro
While we usually have post-Disney churro blues and miss our favorite treat when we’re out of the parks, now you can make them at home (!!!). Ummm, this recipe is about to be a total game changer for our baking skills, you guys!

Okay. So I tried to come up with the Top Three Disneyland Restaurants for First Timers. But there was no way I could limit my picks to just three. So then, I said, hey, let’s try for the Top Five.
Even still.
So in the end, I cut myself off at Eight. 🙂
Matterhorn!
There is so much good food in Disneyland. Really, it was super hard not to just give you a list of pretty much every restaurant there, and call it a day.
But if you must narrow it down, these are the restaurants that I love. These are the spots that I’d go to every single time if I could. (And mostly, I do.)
Heading to Disneyland, or just dreaming about a pilgrimage there? Check out my picks for the places you have to visit during your very first trip. Whether you’re looking for a meal or a snack, you can’t go wrong with putting these spots on your list.
If I could only eat at one spot in Disneyland for the rest of my life, I’m fairly sure that spot would be Cafe Orleans. Located on New Orleans Square, it’s offers some of the beautiful patio seating that Disneyland is known for.

But I’m going to be honest — Cafe Orleans claims the distinction of offering not just one or two, but three of my favorite Disneyland dishes. (And that’s pretty much all I ever eat there.) First, when you visit here, I insist you order the Pommes Frites. Tossed with Garlic and Parmesan, they’re served with a Cajun Remoulade ramekin. I also insist you order TWO remoulades. At least. Per person.

While I love their gumbo here as well, it’s the Monte Cristo Sandwich that I can’t live without. Pockets of bread layered with Ham, Turkey, and Swiss Cheese are lightly battered and deep-fried. Served with Berry Puree for dipping, this is pretty much something everyone should eat at least once in life.

Not a meat-eater? There’s also an All-Cheese Version. No. Seriously. There is.
Behold. The Three-Cheese Monte Cristo. Did I mention the Double Creme Brie?

But save room for dessert — because you can’t pass on the Mickey Beignets served with Dipping Sauces.

Have this meal just once, and you can say “I’ve been to Disneyland” properly as far as I’m concerned.
But Cafe Orleans has an older, slightly more posh sister — Blue Bayou. And while I usually skip it in favor of Cafe Orleans, if you’re visiting the ‘Land for the first time, you really need to experience this place.
Because more than anything, Blue Bayou is an experience; it’s as much an attraction as a restaurant.
Blue Bayou Atmosphere
Because the restaurant is fashioned to look like a verandah on a river’s edge. Look below you into the water, and you see travelers, en route to explore the mysteries of the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Honestly, the food is less important here to me than the “view.” I have enjoyed the New Orleans Signature Gumbo. And in this setting, it’s even better.

And yep, to be honest, I like to order the Monte Cristo here, too!
Le Special de Monte Cristo Sandwich
It’s a little fancier (and more expensive), but just as delicious.
Some of my Disneyland dining choices are obviously sentimental; either I love the restaurant, the food, or both. But it’s not like they’re the tip-top of the culinary pyramid or anything. But then, there’s Napa Rose.
Start Your Napa Rose Adventure With a Glass of Wine on the Outside Patio
Nestled inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, Napa Rose stands as a testament to fine California fusion cuisine, inspired by fresh farm-to-market ingredients.
