The very first blog I ever wrote professed my love for Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel. I had heard that Steakhouse 55 served breakfast too, but had never really thought about partaking in it. One morning, as my wife and I were cruising the resort on a dining fact finding mission, we [...]

How do you celebrate being a mother? Do you rely on your husband to pick the perfect place, or do you just make the reservation for the Mother’s Day Royal Buffet at the Disneyland Hotel’s Ballroom and tell them they have no choice? Well, guess what I did last year….

When it is at Steakhouse 55.  My wife and I recently visited Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel to celebrate our anniversary.  It was my second time eating there and her first.  Now I don’t claim to be a foodie, and we are pretty budget conscious, but we do enjoy a good steak at a [...]
