I must have been pretty little. But the park can be overwhelming! It's nice that you were willing to take a little time out and let your son get a much needed nap.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-69853140154723054422014-11-26T10:21:19.327-08:002014-11-26T10:21:19.327-08:00We had lunch here on a visit many years ago.

My son was very small and was having a terrible day, very tired and cranky from too much fun.<br /><br />We chose this spot because of table service. I held him on my lap till he fell asleep. He napped there for about an hour and everyone rested up before heading on.<br /><br />Thanks for these pics, Major. Very nice.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-18134790076003062272014-11-24T10:47:39.848-08:002014-11-24T10:47:39.848-08:00Nanook, I can call it whatever I want, I guess, bu...Nanook, I can call it whatever I want, I guess, but the sign does say "Cafe Orleans"!<br /><br />K. Martinez, I only wish I was that clever with my labeling. That is WAY too organized for me. I have never eaten at that restaurant either.<br /><br />Connie, I'm glad to hear that they still have waiters. I think I heard about the changes to the Monte Cristo, maybe on "Diningland" on "The Disneyland Gazette" podcast!<br /><br />Alonzo, a vote for me is a vote for fun! I've never had a Monte Cristo, mostly because I have friends who say that they always have "tummy troubles" after eating one (too greasy). No thanks!<br /><br />Melissa, this reminds me of the "Photo Funnies" in ancient issues of "National Lampoon". I wonder if Bing Crosby ever went to Disneyland, by the way?<br /><br />Melissa again, if you could get the people moved again, I would vote for you right now!

The food is still great and the first photo brought back some cool memories! I had forgotten that once upon a time, you could enter the restaurant through that gate. Then, they created an entrance slightly behind those folks in the pic and then maybe two years ago, changed the entrance to the other side of the restaurant. Oh and the Monte Cristo has changed and not for the better I'm afraid.Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-63056083155591945732014-11-24T05:59:42.903-08:002014-11-24T05:59:42.903-08:00Of course Café Orleans was originally called "...Of course Café Orleans was originally called "Creole Café" in its first year of operation, but you might've labeled it that way to keep your jpg files unique, yet together. Café Orleans is the one single Disneyland restaurant I haven't eaten at yet. Perhaps some day I'll do it. Love both images today! Thanks, Major.K.
