Figment’s Return to Disneyland for Halloween (September 2021), Continued...
Oga's Cantina, Breakfast(?)
Only in Disneyland would we even think of drinking at 9:00 am in the morning! We wanted to check out Oga's Cantina, but hadn't had much luck getting the timing right to join the wait list in the afternoon/evening, so we decided to join the waitlist in the morning. So, we did learn a few important things about the waitlist: 1) the notification that you've been called back only comes via push notifications and 2) even though the app shows that you're on the waitlist, that does not update. So we waited and waited, and after about 45 minutes decided to go over to Oga's to see if there were any updates. They explained what happened and said it was pretty common and they wished that the app and waitlist system was better integrated. They honored the waitlist and let us in after a short wait.
(In order from left to right) - It's hard for Figment's family member to review the drinks because she's not really a drinker and doesn't really like the taste of alcohol. So suffice it to say, everyone enjoyed the drink they ordered.
Clarabelle's, Snack
Strawberry Sundae - Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream served in a Waffle Cup topped with Strawberry Sauce, Whipped Cream and a Cherry. Who doesn't like ice cream and strawberry sauce?
Oswald - Scoops of Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream served in a Waffle Cup topped with Whipped Cream, Hot Fudge, Chocolate Morsels, Cherries, and Chocolate-dipped Frozen Bananas. Figment always like the Oswald sundae. Ice cream+chocolate+frozen bananas=yum!
Smokejumpers, Snack
Onion Rings - These were pretty standard onion rings...nothing really special.
Award Weiner
Uptown Chili Dog - All-Beef Hot Dog topped with Home-style Chili, Pepper Jack Cheese and Corn Chips served on a Toasted Bun with Filmstrip Fries. Figment liked this hot dog. It had lots of chili, medium spice, but it didn’t overpower the hot dog.
Halloween Candy Funnel Cake Fries - Dusted in Crushed Chocolate Cream-filled Cookies with Cream Cheese Sauce, Cookie Pieces, Gummy Candies, Chocolate-coated Candies and Whipped Cream. Funnel cake fries are always fun to eat. These were pretty good; not to sweet, but still plenty sweet.
Cozy Cones, Snack
Spicy Mac 'n' Cheese Cone - Pasta with Spicy Red Pepper Cheese Sauce topped with crushed Chile-Cheese Puffs served in a Bread Cone. This one had some surprising heat to the crumbles on top. Otherwise, it was a pretty basic mac 'n' cheese.
Bacon Mac 'n' Cheese - Creamy Mac 'n' Cheese Mixed with Roasted Bacon served in a Bread Cone. Figment liked this one better (because of bacon!). The mac 'n' cheese is very thick. The flavor is better when eaten with the bread cone because the bread balances out the saltiness of the mac 'n' cheese.
Starbucks, Snack
Oogie Boogie Macaron - Black Macaron filled with Green Apple Buttercream, Caramel, Brownies, Cookie Crumb Dust and Gummy Candy. This was a fun dessert to look at, but in reality, it just tasted like pure sugar. It was sickly sweet and not something he'd order again.
Studio Catering Co.
Pineapple Jamaica Agua Fresca - With Pineapple Chamoy. This was one of the worst tasting things Figment has had at Disneyland! It's up there with frushi (from DCA's F&W Festival back in 2018 or so). It had a weird texture; kind of gritty, kind of syrupy, and nothing even remotely like a pineapple flavor. Each of Figment's family took one sip and then tossed the rest. It was awful...
Portos, Dessert
This isn't a restaurant in the Disneyland Resort, but it's practically an institution down in Southern California. The lines to get food can rival those of Disneyland! We stopped by on our way down for a quick dinner and had to get some of the yummy desserts (note that if you go close to closing, they do run out of the desserts).
Tiramisu Cup and Chocolate Mousse Cake - Both were really good. The tiramisu was very light while the cake was really rich.

- Fuzzy Tauntaun - Cîroc Peach Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps, and Simply Orange® topped with Tangerine, Pure Cane Sugar, "Buzz Button Tingling" Foam. Oh my, that foam was weird stuff! It made our lips tingle. Weird, but fun...
- Tarine Tea - Gold Peak® Unsweetened Tea, Peach, Huckleberry, and Mint. Not too sweet, but refreshing.
- Jabba Juice - Simply Orange® with Pineapple, Kiwi, Cantaloupe, and Blueberry Flavor-filled Boba. Sweet, but good.
- Takodana Quencher - Bacardi Dragonberry Rum, Bols Blue Curaçao, Simply Orange® with Pineapple, Kiwi flavors.
- Hyperdrive (Punch It!) - Powerade® Mountain Berry Blast, White Cranberry Juice, Black Cherry Purée, and Sprite®. A little bland (after the Jabba Juice and Tarine Tea).
- The Outer Rim - Patrón Silver Tequila, Açaí Liqueur, Lime Juice, and Pure Cane Sugar, topped with Exotic Fruit Purée, rimmed with Black Salt.
