Not exactly Disneyland but I cannot stress enough to avoid eating ANYTHING at Captain Kidds located across the street on Katella.
Just walk by. Quickly.

We had a similar experience with the corn dogs, except we loved them about 6yrs ago when we got them in CA at the corn dog castle. Then 3yrs ago when we went last we got them at the red wagon in DL and they were so greasy and gross and I couldn't eat it!! I'm curious to try the Monte Crisco, but I'm a little afraid since I've heard good and bad! Glad your wife's was good! I also didn't like the chicken dinner at plaza inn that everyone likes.Had a Monte that was terrible and didn't have another for several years. Then my wife got one and it was great!
We tried the corn dogs about 6 years ago and it was utterly disgusting and didn't have much flavor. Greasy beyond comparison - I swear I could have wrung it out. I was so bad that we took a couple of bites and tossed them in the trash. Maybe if you routinely eat greasy, fatty food they would be more appealing but they did nothing for us.
Everyone always talks about the great food at DL and I agree (love me some pomme frits and fried chicken!) but what are some foods or places that you and your family will not eat at again? There's not a tonne for me and I know some will spark debate! Here's my list of what not to eat when the parks open!
1.) Monte Cristo Sandwich! Reading the boards I heard that everyone loved these and was soooooo excited to try it. It was bleh at the best and really bad for the majority. Now, I will say I am Canadian and this seems to be an American thing but yuck!
2.) Turkey leg - it is a large chunk of meat which is very appealing for us meat lovers but it tasted more like smoked ham then turkey. It wasn't terrible but when you have to force yourself to finish your meal you know its not very good.
So, how about you?
Agree with the turkey leg. I don't personally like the pizza place in Tomorrowland only because my mom ended up sick for two days of our vacation after eating there. But that was so long ago I keep thinking I should give it another try, I know that can happen anywhere.
Mickey pretzels. Just head on over to Wetzels.
As a WDW veteran, first time DL visitor, I was surprisingly disappointed by the Churros. I also saw them being delivered in a large trash bag which didn't help : )
I assume at a time in the past when they were popularized that they were made fresh at each stand?
The fresh made ones at my local county fair are much better.
What I find weird is that upstairs there is where the BWPPI breakfast is and we have never had a problem there. We’ve never eaten downstairs.Cannot repeat this warning enough: Do NOT eat across the street at Captain Kidd's. The low price for AYCE buffet is not worth the risk of all night misery which people have posted about here. The Yelp reviews are pretty scary, too.

Literally any in park burger. None of them are worth it.
love this thread, so much of what is raved about here on Dis I don't eat
Churros - ugh too...much...sugar
Turkey Legs - good gravy, walking around a theme park chomping on a greasy turkey leg, whats that all about
Popcorn - over priced
Candy apples - nope
Rice Crispie treats - nope
Any of the candy in Candy Palace - nope
Plaza Gardens - went with my friends in 2010 as that was their favorite place to eat lunch, haven't been back since
Corn dogs- never had one
Matterhorn Macaroon - ugh, too much coconut
Raspberry Rose Macroon - ugh no like
Candy from Pooh Corner - nope
having worked as a chef, I don't find it weird.
Very likely 2 different kitchens, 2 different shifts/ staff rotation. The breakfast crew could also be employed by BWPPI and only work the breakfast shifts.
