13 Disney Menu Items Worth the Wait at Table-Service Restaurants

During a Disneyland visit [1], it's easy to get caught up in the "go go go" mentality of running back and forth between attractions, barely stopping to catch a breath — let alone a bite to eat.

While many of these counter-service meals are tasty (hellooooooo, corn dogs!), there's a whole new world of tasty Disney delicacies [3] that are worth sitting down and waiting for.

Between Disneyland [4], California Adventure, and the famous park hotels, here are our top picks for menu items that will take your taste buds to a whole new world. Trust us . . . they're worth the wait.
