Disneyland post #1: rides and food

This is my first post about our 2017 trip to Disneyland Resort. Instead of giving a blow-by-blow of everything we did in chronological order, I decided to throw out a bunch of random stuff and some photos. Here is the first 5 of 30 random things about Disneyland:

1. Favorite Rides:

• The kids liked Goofy's Sky School (at DCA Paradise Pier) 
• Mom liked Pirates of the Caribbean (in DL New Orleans Square) 
• Anne-Marie has always been partial to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (at DL Frontierland) 
• My favorite was Radiator Springs Racers (in DCA Cars Land) 

2. Consensus Favorite Ride: Soarin' Around the World (at DCA Grizzly Peak). This was awesome because our hotel room overlooked the "hangar" that houses Soarin' and we ALL loved this one. We only went twice, but could've gone every night.

3. Best Food: (maybe besides Storytellers Cafe, which I'll talk about later):

• Stage Door Café's corn dogs for me, which I hear are the same as Little Red Wagon and Corn Dog Castle 
• Anne-Marie liked the French Market in New Orleans Square 
• Kids freaked out over Beignets from Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (Downtown) 
• Mom loved Earl of Sandwich (also in Downtown) 

4. Runner-up Best Food: Flo's V8 Café and the giant smoked turkey legs.

5. Worst Food: The two pizza/pasta cafeterias (Redd Rocket and Boardwalk). These places actually weren't terrible, but just not very memorable.
