I'd recommend FPs for Space, maybe Splash, Indy (you'd miss the great queue, though) and Radiator Springs Racers. There usually isn't a need for a FP for Tower and Screamin'.For drinks, I'd definitely recommend Trader Sam's. It's such a fun bar. It's located at the Disneyland Hotel, which isn't far from the Grand Californian.<img src="http://foolishquestions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/disneyland-hotel-trader-sams-enchanted-tiki-bar-968x450-02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I'm going to copy and paste an old post in regards to food.My absolute favorite spot to eat at at Disneyland is the Plaza Inn at the end of Main Street. It's a beautiful restaurant and the food is really good, specifically the fried chicken.<img src="http://www.trekaroo.com/photos/0007/3718/DSC_0926.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://wdwinfo.com/disneyland/dining/photos/Plaza-Restaurant2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I also really enjoy Rancho Del Zocalo in Frontierland. The area is beautiful and the Mexican is decent for theme park food.<img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5145/5756227056_97786d6bfd_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo0ft6Jpc51qkzw84o1_500.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Hungry Bear also makes my list, due to its location. It's in Critter Country (a land not found at WDW) and it sits right across from Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America. It's got a woodsy/backyard picnic-type feel. Their onion rings are so good, as well as their burgers and chicken sandwiches.<img src="http://travelista1.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/hungry-bear.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />French Market. Great ambiance and good food. There's usually a band that plays right out front. Cafe Orleans is great, too.Cafe Orleans:<img src="http://wdwinfo.com/disneyland/dining/photos/cafeorleans1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The counter service spot at the Disneyland Resort with arguably the best ambiance is Flo's V8 Cafe at California Adventure in Cars Land. Its location is perfect. It's smack dab in the middle of Cars Land, and, depending where you sit, you can see the cars from Radiator Springs Racers driving by you. The restaurant plays themed, Motown music and serves classic, American comfort food.<img src="http://gallery.toursdepartingdaily.com/Disneyland-Resort/Photos/i-3fkL4tW/0/L/Flos-V8-Cafe-L.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.frommers.com/images/photos/photos500/1053-63808.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8221/8395875109_9f7c041e6e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />On to the table service restaurants.Carnation Cafe is on Main Street, and the food is great. Space is not bountiful here, so make a reservation, just in case.<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk5h767QzG1qbmnnfo1_500.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://davelandweb.com/mainstreet/images/westside/carnation/2000/DSC_9546.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Carthay Circle Restaurant in California Adventure. I've yet to eat here, but I've heard the food is good. It's a very beautiful restaurant.<img src="http://www.themouseforless.com/tripplanning/menus/dl/images/DCA/CarthayCircle.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.mouseinfo.com/gallery/files/4/1/2/7/carthay_circle_inside_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Napa Rose at the Grand Californian Hotel. I haven't eaten here either, but I haven't heard one, single bad review about it. The food is excellent, from what I hear. It's a bit pricey, FYI.<img src="http://www.wdwinfo.com/disneyland/photos/Grand-Californian/images/DSC06452.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://ocresort.ocregister.com/files/2009/03/naparose1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I've heard the exact same thing about Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel.<img src="http://static.disneylandnews.com/files/2011/06/DSC7903-640x425.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://land.allears.net/blogs/lauragilbreath/DSC02390.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In my opinion, the table restaurant with the best ambiance at the Disneyland Resort would be Blue Bayou at Disneyland. It is located in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, and it is very popular. You can't beat its location. If you decide to eat here, make sure to ask for seats inside the restaurant, across from the ride, as seen in the photos. This is also a pricey restaurant.<img src="http://amalg.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/restaurant-review-blue-bayou-disneyland-L-fPJ0lb.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I will add one restaurant to this old post... That would be Tortilla Jo's in Downtown Disney. The food is tasty and I really love the atmosphere. If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch the Mariachi singers and the balloon makers (I doubt you'd want a balloon).</blockquote>
