I agree that the perception has shifted a little bit. With that said it was a never a huge hit especially having to immediately follow Lion King. I remember enjoying it as a kid. Wasn’t one of my favorites but it had its moment on VHS for me.

For me these 7 are the best of the best when you consider art, story, music and emotional impact. They don’t all excel in each category but I think they do in at least 2-3 and are good to great in the other 1-2 categories.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Pinocchio
Cinderella
Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
Lion King

Not including Sleeping Beauty is a sin. It is a masterclass in animation, with stunning stylistic visuals. Its story is quintessential Disney and its soundtrack is bliss. I will confess some of the film does suffer from being too silly when it's focusing on the fairies, but the film is such an overwhelming delight for the eyes and ears it must be considered.

The art is stunning. Where it excels it really excels. I have it like a category 1A. Just a tier below the Top group. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but I think it falls short in the story and emotional impact departments. I don’t remember really caring about the characters. I think there is a reason it’s not just not quite as beloved as some of the others on my list. Its a beautiful piece of art but I think falls short in the other areas mentioned above. It’s also missing the songs and just some of the iconic moments found in the other films.
On another note I’m not quite sure that Aladdin and Little Mermaid deserve to be in the Top tier. They might get demoted to a Tier 1A with Sleeping Beauty. And keep Tier 1 at nice round number like 5.

I don't have any specific food recommendations for Tiana's, but know that how you place the order affects the presentation of your food.
If you wait in line, you get everything nicely plated like the other buffeterias.
If you do mobile order, your food will arrive to you in To Go containers and will look about as nice as something you ordered on DoorDash.
I do not recommend the lemon-filled beignet dessert.
Me either. I was like, that's a beignet? And it was way too tart.
Thanks. Sounds like it’s going to have to be Plaza Inn and a fluffernutter churro from DCA. I saw someone on social media do all dark meat. I might have to do that.
What’s everyone’s order when you eat half a chicken? I feel like the below is the only acceptable order
1. Leg
2. Wing
3. Thigh
4. Breast
Leg first because it’s obviously the best piece of fried chicken and you want the best at first hunger. Following that rationale, the wing is next because it’s usually the next best piece (not so much at Plaza) and it’s also so small that it won’t fill you up before your next piece. Here’s where things get interesting, the best thigh beats the best breast. However, sometimes at some restaurants thighs can be/ feel a little undercooked and feel a little gamey in texture but I find the Plaza Inn thigh to be better than the often times dry boring breast. Besides, if you go breast first that just might put you out of commission right there.

I completely agree with your ordering here.
We've got a great BBQ chain around Chicago called City Barbeque, and their half chicken is delicious and my go-to. Only problem is, our location never gets the order right for takeout. The food is delicious, but they can't get it right. But I keep going back despite that because the food is so good. Anyone else have that problem with restaurants around them?

This is a bit of a personal question but typically I go for the thigh before the breast.
Lol. Are we still talking about chicken?
I didn’t expect this from you.
Meant to say best thigh beats best breast**

It's payback for when you said you liked Dial of Destiny.
Lol. Have you seen it?
Not really other than McDonalds and an authentic Mexican restaurant we order takeout from via telephone. If the food is that good I’d keep going back too.

What a silly question. You and I know full well the only quick service restaurant that exists at Disneyland is the Plaza Inn.
