Disneyland California - Critter County (part II)

Well, this week has been really quite crazy!!! I hope tonight I'll be able to get a few posts up!! Can I remind you to find us on Facebook by searching Disneyland Dreaming and like the page!! I'm looking forward to meeting up with all of you on there - and I'm loving the emails and questions you have been asking me! I can't wait to answer them in upcoming posts!

So, back to Critter County.. Home to Winnie the Pooh and his friends but also home to some fantastic food and shopping.

One of my favourite places to eat in Disneyland is the Hungry Bear Restaurant. Located next to the Rivers of America and surrounded by lush vegetation it's a great place to sit and enjoy lunch or a snack - particularly on a hot day! There really is something for everyone here - and reasonably priced too! Burgers served with either grapes or French Fries range in price and style and start at $7.99. There's even a veggie burger for those who would prefer a meat-free alternative! There are salad options and dessert options as well!! I absolutely love the sweet treats here!!! It's also a great place to grab a coffee or tea - especially if you've just come off Splash Mountain and had been waiting a while before hand!!!!

The Harbour Galley in Critter County is a counter-service food outlet that sells a variety of food - that varies from the usual burgers and chips. Here you'll pick up seafood chowder, chilli and soups all served in bread bowls as well as salads and sandwiches. The prices are similar to the Hungry Bear Restaurant but may suit your group a little better after a few days of burgers and chips at other places within the park.

There is also a wonderful food cart in Critter County that offers pieces of fresh fruit, crisps and drinks - a great snack cart that has something for the whole family.

Shopping in Critter County definitely doesn't disappoint. Tucked way in the far back corner of the park, Pooh's Corner is an amazing store! Not just a clothing and toy store, it's also a bakery and confectionary store! Andrew and I were absolutely thrilled when we were browsing this store to find a Disney Cast Member making Mickey Mouse Candy Apples behind a glass window - she smiled and showed us the process from start to finish! It was amazing and the amount of effort that goes into making the hand-made treats is unbelievable! Young and old will find this store absolutely amazing! They sell the most amazing cookies and home-made treats in this store themed both around Mickey and friends as well as Winnie the Pooh. One little treat at this store is the range of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans that they stock - and the fact that you can mix and match them however you like! I can't rave about this store enough! There are a couple of other stores at this end of the park, but in my opinion - Pooh's corner just blows them away!!!

Under that beautiful exterior is an apple - an expensive but delicious treat!


Next up, we'll be visiting New Orlean's Square! Can't wait to share some of my favourite parts of this area of the park with you!!

Until next time, Have A Magical Day!

Love,
