It's easy to get hungry at Disney with all of the walking and the smell of popcorn at every turn. When we'd take our family trips, my mom and I were the snack queens since we were both too scared to ride anything. The first thing I had was a pickle. I was told it was a must try by a fellow park guest while I rested in the shade in Toontown. There were two options: spicy and regular. I went for the spicy. Not only was the pickle delicious, but it was also a perfect treat to cool me down in the 96-degree weather.
Next up was Cafe Orleans. If you use the Disneyland app, you can make a reservation before arriving at the park. The average wait was an hour. Since I was dining solo, I got the text that my table was ready in 26 minutes. When I sat down, my waitress told me the cafe was known for it's Monti Cristo sandwich and pomme frites. She also mentioned the gumbo was one of her personal favorites. Having had authentic gumbo in New Orleans, my expectations weren't very high. I was wrong. The gumbo wasn't as spicy as I like it (I had hot sauce in my bag, don't judge me), but it was full of flavor that reminded me of New Orleans. The pomme frites were just as tasty, fried to perfection with a sauce that made them my favorite pick of the day.
