We love Mexico also...especialy when the Mariachi band is playing....Awesome stuff. :D :goofy:

Oh man we love that place! Did you guys ride the ride inside? My husband takes pics of the kids in front of the fountain in there. It is so pretty inside that place! One of my favorites!

This is a tough one.... I have so many favorite Disney foods! The popcorn, Tusker House Fried Chicken, Mama Melrose's Eggplant Parm [so hard to find good, crispy Eggplant Parm out at restaurants usually], Mickey Ice Cream Bar, Mickey Waffles and fruit cups for breakfast, Chipwiches and soft pretzels from Germany. So many awesome Disney tastes!!!

Next time I go back I'm dying to try a Churro, a giant Turkey Leg and Dole Whip!! :mickey:

Yes, we rode it while waiting for our call that our table was ready. We had watched the Three Cabelleros from Netflix before we went so that made it better.

It was the closest thing to the Blue Bayou from DL. (The boat ride going by the restaurant.) My husband and I had a date at BB long before kids. Good memories...

Wow watching the Three Caballeros that would have been a great idea before our trip. Reminds me of one time we did watch Swiss Family Robinson before our trip. Yes, love some good memories!

I'm getting hungry just reading all these! I love Disney popcorn (how could it possibly taste so much better than popcorn at home?), everything at Liberty Tree Tavern, and the meatloaf at 50's Prime Time. Oh! And everything at Ohauna's! Now I'm really hungry!!

I see this Liberty Tree Tavern mentioned a lot, but we've never gone. Maybe something new to do next time? :D Oh and Disney popcorn, I love getting the buckets and bringing them home and having them at home to use for watching movies :D

One of our favorite restaurants (among a list of greats) is Kona Cafe at the Poly. They have great steaks and prime rib.

It's hard to pick any one place, they all are so good, except the castle for lunck (yuk). My favorite has to be the Garden Grill and Main street bakery. It's hard to pass up the smells of the bakery anytime of the day. Just wish I had one around the corner from me. :goofy:

My girls and I totally love Liberty Tree Tavern. I think it's the type of food they serve, which is typical traditional American food, with potatoes, roast meats, dressing, green beans, etc. and it's served family-style. It's supposed to be standard "tavern fare" but it's a little more mainstream than what would have been served in an 18th century tavern. :) You might want to give it a go sometime. When we were there in 2008 it was a character meal, and the characters had on Colonial-style costumes. :)

Oh wow that sounds good! and what a cute idea for the characters to be in Colonial-style costumes! Being a character meal makes me want to try it even more since we usually do the Crystal Palace as a character meal but said this last time we probably wouldn't do it again since we've done it two times, so that sounds like a great option for us! I'm wondering if I've ever payed attention or knew about this restaurant before? Thanks for the info, and it's a good thing I just ate or I would be super hungry reading about all that food! :D
