I travel between Orlando and LA every week, and am at both resorts one week or another (and have been for the past 3 years) ..and can tell you, without bias, that the QUALITY at DL is far higher than WDW. A simple test of WDW's corn dogs versus DL's will squash your statement completely.
I don't visit each coasts nearly as much as you do, but I'm at Disneyland at least monthly and WDW at least annually. I like to eat anywhere from burgers at Tomorrowland Terrace to foie gras at Napa Rose. I would strongly back up the claim that Disneyland currently has much better food quality, and a better selection of types of food, than most of WDW. There are a few exceptions on each coast, but overall Disneyland beats WDW for quality, taste and selection.
10 or 12 years ago it would have been a different story. But over the past half decade in particular, Disneyland restaurants have steadily been improving while WDW dining has noticeably slipped by sometimes small and sometimes big drops. It's now quite lopsided in Disneyland's favor I think.
One thing WDW should never, and likely could never, compete with Disneyland on though is the
corn dogs. The corn dogs at Disneyland especially should just be left out of the equation, it's just no contest. And to think, Disneyland's corn dogs have been served out of this little red truck at the end of Main Street for decades. It was the original food truck, before those things became the new craze and hippest way to eat in 2009-10. :lol:

I also know people who wait in line for up to an hour to get the homemade candy canes at Disneyland's Candy Palace on Main Street at Christmas. I do have to say they are about the bestest, freshest, most flavorful candy cane I've ever had. Not sure I'd wait an hour for them, but they are darn good, and you can watch them being made for you right there in the Candy Palace. A SoCal Christmas tradition for many families!

Back to the Village Haus on both coasts, it is interesting that each resort is going it's own way when it comes to food and theme park dining. You would think that with the whole
Disney Parks thing that the menus would have become more standardized between WDW and Disneyland. But the exact opposite seems to be happening. I wonder why that is? So many other things, from park decorations to summertime campaigns are being shared. And yet park dining is going in very different directions in California and Florida. Kind of odd, don't you think?
