Eating Disneyland's Most Popular Meals | Blue Bayou, Plaza Inn, Oga's Cantina

[@xmichellemaryx]

A fun fact I learned about the Plaza Inn: when you enter, there’s a room to the left that has tons of windows and birdcages hanging about. Walt often had meals there with big groups of people. The flooring in that room (the linoleum) is the original flooring, meaning you could theoretically walk in Walt’s footsteps there!

Let’s be real: the best characters to have breakfast with would be Molly and Alan! 🥯🍳

I have a vivid memory of eating in the Blue Bayou restaurant with a group of friends when I was in high school, FIFTY-THREE YEARS AGO! (1971) Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It was a great reminder that I was not always old! 😅

[@candaceeffle6552]

I was just figuring out when last time I ate there in I know thru 70s my youngest son born 79 n I think he was like 2 or 3 last time so early 80s I believe food better back then😊

Really appreciated your comment and identified with it. I ‘ll be doing a bucket list trip with my daughter at 76. I haven’t been there since my honeymoon in 1970, so in your time frame.

Cafe Orleans has the monte cristo all day (they also have a three cheese version!), with the amazing pommes frites, and is an easier reservation than Blue Bayou. Although I probably shouldn’t be giving that away! Thanks as always for showing Disneyland so much love!

[@newyearsproject09]

Yes! Came here to say this :)

[@TanyaOsterman-hw9wv]

It's less expensive, too!

[@heatherharper0224]

They had just closed down Blue Bayou for a small refurb when we went in Jan, but luckily, I scored a day-of reservation to Cafe Orleans to get my yearly Monte Cristo. Great alternative! I tried to make them at home once, & lets just say that they looked NOTHING like Disneylands 😂

[@libbyhenderson4920]

Holy Character-Palooza! 9 characters at one place is incredible! I imagine since it's the only Character Dining spot in the parks, they are maximizing the experience.

[@jennifercolligan3085]

I love seeing you at Disneyland, it's my favorite park. I lived in Orlando for 9 years, but, its Disneyland!! Thanks for all you do!

[@alanwatts5445]

I stumbled onto the Blue Bayou by accident and without a reservation. How lucky can you get? Years later I made it to Disney World and was VERY disappointed that they didn't have it in the Magic Kingdom. Still my favorite Disney restaurant.

[@HauntedMansionGirl]

Goes without saying, Disneyworld is awesome, however, the feel of Disneyland definitely has such a very special feel. ❤

[@CaptSilvo]

Yes I agree. When I went to Disneyworld, the magic wasn’t there. It felt like it was just a regular theme park. But when at Disneyland, the vibe is completely changed. People going to Disneyland because it’s Disneyland. The magic is in the air.

[@AWESOMESAUCEES]

You’re so right Molly- Disneyland just feels special. There’s a vibe there that’s unlike anywhere else in the world!

[@JillVoliva]

Completely agree! I grew up going to WDW, worked there, lived there, but Disneyland just has my heart.

[@AllieinCali]

Because Walt actually walked those streets!

[@thevanillaflourette]

Disneyland is my home and favorite park and I’m OBSESSED when you guys do videos there! There is magic unlike any other park there. I can’t get enough!

[@amysears1829]

I love when Alan gets in on the character action! Love the fam videos!!!

[@VocalAlchemists]

you guys phrasing of “pre breakfast snack” made me smile :)

[@TanyaOsterman-hw9wv]

I got a pre-breakfast snack at DCA which was a frozen banana. Pretty healthy, too. LOL

[@candaceeffle6552]

I started going to Disneyland at the age 5 1/2 in 1958 as I say this came from a man's dream never before thought of or if it would be successful YES its special n small n quaint n BEAUTIFUL. Molly you know the Plaza was Walts favorite n where I met him in 1963 ❤. One day Molls ima run into u believe me I be looking for u Alan or Max every trip. Love u guys

[@lcflngn]

So happy to hear Magic Happens is Molly’s favorite parade, it’s mine too! Went to 3 in 2 days when it first came out :) In the 60s & 70s I visited my grandma once a year and she took me to DL. I’d look at the Blue Bayou from the boat and couldn’t imagine how a person could be both fancy & lucky enough to eat there. Once I had kids of my own I took them once in a while (not near once a year, lol). Wish I could’ve taken my grandma… The food has always been overpriced for what it is, but the nostalgia is worth it for me! Haven’t been for a bit, feeling ready for a return visit.

[@Michelle.smiles]

Thank you guys! This was so fun! I really want that Monty kristo Wafle. Yay, blue bayou . Happy over here. Way to go. 23:34 23:41

[@MicheleKlinger]

I’m taking so many notes for my disneyland trip at the end of the year 😂. The food alone at Plaza Inn intrigued me, but the character breakfast and the randomness of who you might meet sold me. Blue Bayou is a Disneyland classic of course, and Oga’s is always a vibe too.

[@Macgyrl64]

We eat at the Plaza every time we visit. It’s good food at a reasonable price. Blue Bayou has a great atmosphere only if the tables are closer to the ride boats, the food is good but it’s expensive.

[@arielleadelman4336]

I think it’s so cute how Molly asks to take the photo! It makes the characters more personified!

[@Reinlegen]

I grew up very close to Disneyland and I agree, it just is so special

[@rygregory]

I’ve been to all the Disney parks across the world except for Shanghai but the US parks are my regulars. Whenever I walk into all the parks I just get so giddy with excitement. However, walking into Disneyland gives me a different feeling - one of “being home” and a “warm hug”. Also, the community and cast members there have always been such a standout for me. ❤

[@lyndsayadams1471]

Molly I love your characters interactions! They’re always so cute!

[@karencarroll7329]

When visiting Disneyland for the first time, I truly felt Walt's legendary spirit seeing the bench where he was inspired to build a theme park, the Sleeping Beauty castle which he chose along with opening day rides which he took active involvement in. 💖🏰💖 When it comes to Restaurants in Disneyland, it was very difficult to get reservations at Blue Bayou so our "Celebration Dinner" was at Cafe Orleans - our whole party gave our dining experience a high ratings due to great service and the food being soo delicious!! A nice feature is that Cafe Orleans also features Prix Fixe Seasonal Meal offerings along with Cajun fare and since we were visiting close to Halloween, they had a Haunted Mansion Candle dessert which was soo cool and delectable too!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@MishyMouseEars]

We did Plaza Breakfast for my birthday and we got Minnie, Pluto, Daisy, Tigger, Pooh, Chip and Dale ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think a worth it video of Carthay Circle would be fun! The DisNerd in me loved all the Walt Disney photos and memorabilia! The food and drinks are 👩🏼‍🍳💋 and of course there is always 21 Royal and Club 33 got those on my bucket list, I cannot imagine it being NOT worth it 🩷🩷🩷

Hello Molly, the Bunskins here! Please consider visiting the Catalina Island off the cost of California. It is a great location full of history, sights, and bites! See the flying fish, or zipline the famous tour they have. There is also scuba, parasailing, a beach club, and casino (but not the traditional kind you might be thinking) I think the Mammoth Club will really enjoy this content, both creating and consuming!

We LOVE the Blue Bayou! I've been eating there since my first visit in 1980 (Yes, I am old. I was 10), and I have been taking my son there since he was 2 1/2. We have never had the character dining at The Plaza, but the fried chicken is awesome! We usually go to Storytellers Café in the Grand Californian. I agree that Disneyland is the best. It's the first park I went to, and the only Disney park my son has been to, so it holds special memories for me. I even remember the ticket books and parking like right across the way from the entrance gates. If you plan on any more restaurants, try Storytellers Cafe or Lamplight Lounge- Boardwalk Dining. 😊

[@patretter4918]

Congrats on reaching 200K subs!

[@Vsmit00]

Another option for Blue Bayou-type food thats’s less expensive and easier to get into is Cafe Orleans. You can’t beat sitting in the bayou section of Pirates, but the food at Cafe Orleans is of similar quality and variety. I’ll agree that you should try to get a table at Blue Bayou at least once, but Cafe Orleans is an excellent alternative.

[@emilywills6751]

Chaos at breakfast for sure, but so many characters- amazing!!!

Solid snack start! Now I have to try and make that Monte Cristo waffle sandwich this weekend. For the experience and menu the Blue Bayou looks like the most worth it for lunch, and to do appetizers in the evening to see the place when it's dark at least once.

[@melody_shmelody]

I loved loved loved Blue Bayou. The service was incredible and our food was great. The portions were huge so we split an entree and that really helped the cost. Atmosphere also amazing. We did the Plaza character breakfast and it was really fun to be greeted by Minnie. The food was just okay but the bananas fosters sauce was delicious and we got to see the girl nice from Cinderella.

Definitely DCA with Catal Circle, Wine Country Trattoria and Lamplight Lounge. Doing Downtown Disney would be cool too with all the new restaurants.

[@ChicaItaliana26]

It's a shame the menus aren't the same at both Oga's locations. In my opinion, the food offerings at FL Oga's are abysmal. Last time we were there we had the Happabore Sampler. It was some spam sticks, pre-pulled string cheese, pork cracklings, and shishito peppers. I'd try the CA Oga's, but I don't intend to go to the FL one during my next trip this summer.

[@WandaOfWestview]

So happy to see Taryn! Adore her!

[@PotterFreak22]

These videos are my favorite. It’s nice to know what places serve what for how much ahead of time. I’d probably skip the Blue Bayou since I’m not a big Cajun food person, the bread and the salad looked really good though. Most likely go for the Plaza Inn with all the characters, I like the food, like the buffet style. Then Oga’s Cantina for another time. I don’t drink at all so a lot of the menu is not for me but the Oga’s Obsession drink looked really good with the bobas and the dried fruit mix. I would MOST DEFINITELY try the Garlic Bread with the cheese (love me some good garlic bread) and the Focaccia bread with the cheese and the pickles and the pastrami. THOSE LOOK AMAZING. I wonder if I could make that bread at home 🤔. I’m not a bad cook, I just don’t make bread on the daily (or yearly). Mainly just banana bread and sometimes muffins. I might see if there’s a not too complicated recipe for the garlic bread at least. Focaccia sounds complicated already just by the name. I don’t know if my impatient chaos gremlin brain would cooperate long enough for that recipe. If there’s more restaurants you think would be good to try in Disneyland then yeah, go for it. I don’t think I’ve seen a Worth It video in Disney California Adventure yet. So that would definitely be something I would like to see. Up to you peoples though, I’m just here for the ride.

[@ChristinaInTheMakingASMR]

My dad always told me about this magical trip he took to the Blue Bayou with my Mom in the '90s, where they got a pirate ship that was made of chocolate and filled with chocolate mousse. I've been fantasizing about that chocolate pirate ship and mousse my whole life.

I think I have missed eating at Blue Bayou on only one of my trips to Disneyland - my last one in 2019. As it was a last minute decision to go, we couldn’t get a reservation. We always go for lunch and I just love the experience of eating a meal while essentially being a part of the Pirates ride!

Hot take....if you want the Monte Cristo, get it at Cafe Orleans. It's not the same atmosphere, but the sandwich is the exact same (literally made in the same kitchen), and it's cheaper, but also includes fries. The gumbo is also the same, I believe.

Love you guys and watch all of your videos. We just went to Disneyland for the first time last week. Food was really good. Not better than DW just different. We love the food at both. I would love a SanFransokyo at DW ate the quasaburria twice. I also don’t get the churro hype good for theme park but not anywhere near a nomad lounge churro. Unfortunately while it was neat to be in the original park there was zero magic for us. The staff was rude to apathetic. It was so bad we decided to not return on second half of day 4 and only for that amazing steak burrito in DCA on last day. We were really disappointed we go to DW 3-5 times a year just for the bubble. No bubble at DL it just felt like a normal theme park with Micky laid over it. What did we miss?
