We always eat at Carthay Circle both upstairs for the fine dining and the alfresco dining downstairs with patio seating as well. We've never been disappointed. The alfresco is more cost effective and occasionally they have specialties not listed on the menu like fresh fish dishes. They serve casadillas with fruit for kids and my grandaughter loves them. Brunch at Lamplight Lounge (only on weekends) is our other must do! The french toast is soooo delicious and there's enough to share. I can't eat hot dogs, burgers, and greasy food items or I'll have digestive issues so having fresh, healthier, made to order options works better for us. Thank you for covering this topic. There are some other great dining options outside of both parks around the hotels and in Downtown Disney. Tangaroa Terrace, Napa Rose, and The Great Maple are some of our favorites. Check them out! 😋

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

We just felt that the dish we had in the video (from Carthay), the pasta, was about on par with Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta for taste, but we paid 4x as much. So we left with a sour taste (the bill) in our mouth. We ate there once before 8-10 years ago and had a good time, which is why I said we did have a good experience before, so ymmv.

@pixiepinkcrystalsrosetta7027 5 ай бұрын

@@SoCalDisneyDad I usually order the fish, pork chop, organic chicken, or steak dishes that have the best reviews. I also check seasonal reviews to see what is new on the menu and what the majority of people liked. You'll be less likely to make a choice that'll end in disappointment that way. It's always beneficial to ask your server their opinion. They may surprise you with an option you didn't know was available. 😊

Great video! Thank you! We just got our Magic Keys and can’t wait to start using them. Have you done a magic Key tips video?

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

I have not. What type of tips would you be looking for? Just like an overview of making reservations and the ins and outs of it? Perhaps highlighting different Magic Key benefits? The trouble is Magic Keys aren't always for sale, so it would be much easier to do that type of video if anyone could buy them any time.

@kristenhoskin5822 5 ай бұрын

I think highlights of benefits. You’re right since they are only available once in a while it may not be worth it for you. Side note I do hope they make it a less stressful experience s😂😂😂 but I definitely don’t want to let it lapse now. lol that was a really intense 6.5 hours in the queue.

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

@@kristenhoskin5822 Disney has MAJOR issues with their sales process. No other company makes you wait for hours just to have the chance to buy something. But they do this with EVERY event. If you want to buy tickets to a special nighttime event, be prepared to wait all day in a queue.

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

Glad you had a better experience than we did at Carthay. I do have fond memories eating there 10ish years ago, but when we tried it again this last time, we just felt like we'd eaten overpriced average food we could have gotten at Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta for 20% of the cost. But it might have totally just been whatever we ordered.

Hi love your videos thank you! Headed there end of February- where would be the best place for my hubby to get the best vanilla thick shake (think you still call them thick shakes - we are from Australia) Keen to get him one

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

So any of our milkshakes will be the same as what you call a thick shake (lived in Australia for a year and found this out for myself 🤣). Also, found out that mint shakes and mint ice cream tasted like toothpaste in AU. Not a fan. 😂 The BEST place to get a milkshake is Black Tap in Downtown Disney. You can get the shake inside the restaurant, or at their Crazy Shake window outside at the far end of the restaurant. But restaurants in DCA that have shakes are Schmoozies, Flo’s, and Smokejumpers. Disneyland, I don’t know. I can’t think of any.

That’s Aunt Cass Cafe. Though I don’t see it on their mobile order menu right now. It is listed on their main menu, but that doesn’t always mean they’ll be selling it. It never hurts to try though. Check mobile order earlier in the day, as they might just be running low so reserved their stock for in store guests. Otherwise, standby will be the only possibility.

Hi I'm planning a DL vacation. I wanna avoid the crowds- thought about the first few days of September 2024 -what do you think? I plan to stay at the grand californian

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

If your goal is to go for Halloween, that’s fine. September is better than October. If you just want low crowds, go before Halloween kicks off on August 23rd. I’d say August 15-22 is like the sweet spot. One of the best times to go as a lot of local schools have gone back already. But if you’d like to go in September, this video was filmed around September 5-7.

I’m confused on the Lamplighter…I just read an article saying go up to the cast member at the door and ask to go upstairs and they would take you up to a lounge…is this true or do you know…really want to go there next month and just have a drink and enjoy the view

@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын

So there is a bar both upstairs and downstairs. One for the Boardwalk and one for the main “Lounge” The Boardwalk is ONLY walk up, it doesn’t accept reservations. That’s the upstairs portion. Usually the way I look at it is people try to reserve Lamplight Lounge (downstairs), but when they’re unsuccessful, walk up (upstairs) is still an option. However, it’s entirely plausible that you ONLY want to be upstairs, so yes, walk up and talk to a cast member is what you’d want to do there.
