Peach Cobbler

Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney Village Marketplace

I was so disappointed when I realized this recipe called for canned peaches instead of fresh. I later made a fresh peach cobbler - which was better than this recipe. Nothing about this recipe stands out - it's a standard canned peach pie recipe with no bottom crust. That's it. Pretty average.

Apple Walnut Cobbler

Concourse Grille
Disney's Contemporary Resort

The recipe called to put the filling in 4 individual soufflé dishes. I was lazy (and only one 2), so I made it into one giant "soufflé" dish - a.k.a. pie.

I thought this recipe was great. While a fairly normal recipe, the walnut topping was a wonderful addition.

Lo Mein Chili

Coral Isle Café
Disney's Polynesian Resort

We were pleasantly surprised by this recipe. It had WAY more heat than we expected (perhaps my "dash" of Tabasco was a bit too dashy). Be ready to have something to drink while you eat. The heat isn't excessive though, it's just present, and it goes away quickly. It is sort of like chili on spaghetti, but instead it's on Lo Mein noodles. Such a fast, easy recipe and so yummy. I will be making this again!

Jambalaya (pork)

French Market Restaurant
New Orleans Square, DISNEYLAND Park

French Market Restaurant still exists at DISNEYLAND, and it still serves Jambalaya! The menu appears to now serve a chicken and seafood Jambalaya instead of pork and seafood.

This Jambalaya is packed full of meat - pork, ham, polish sausage, Italian sausage, and shrimp. The recipe itself does not have a ton of heat. It would have had more heat had we used the right pepper. I sent my husband out with the grocery list. I asked for a yellow chili pepper. He brought me a yellow pepper. Not nearly as hot. You could also use spicy Italian sausage instead of mild like I used. It's also packed with veggies, which I loved. Onion, celery, green pepper, zucchini, and okra fill in the gaps. I greatly enjoyed this recipe (minus the stomach ache I had later because the shrimp was cooked into it - even though I didn't eat them). 4 mickeys.

Bridgetown Beef Fajitas

Bridgetown Broiler
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort

If I would have been smart I would have made the chicken and beef fajitas at the same time. But I wasn't. So instead I made them 6 months apart. It is literally the exact same recipe, just different meat. I think that the chicken held the flavor of the marinade better than the beef did. Once again, 4 mickeys.

Key Lime Pie

Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney Village Marketplace

I'm not a big fan of anything lime. I particularly don't like key lime pie. Let me rephrase - the only key lime pie I've ever liked is one made by a co-worker of mine. Hers is amazing.  This pie was simple to make, beyond the fact that my hands were exhausted trying to squeeze all the fresh key limes. My advice to you - get a tool for this, or use get your husband to finish it like I did. :-)
Over all it was good, but not amazing. Nothing about it made me want more - yet again I don't like key lime pie. I let the rest of the family rate this one. They gave it 4 mickeys.

Green Beans

Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney Village Marketplace


Once again, another non-existent restaurant.

The recipe is plain and simple, but very good. the fresh green beans are boiled, then cooked with olive oil, tomatoes, onion, and bacon. Yum. I will be making these again!
