Chuck Wagon Café

Fact-File

  • Location: Hotel Cheyenne. 
  • Type of restaurant: Buffet Service
  • Cost: 30 euro for an adult with a soft drink and 17 euro for a child. This restaurant is also on the Hotel (guests at Hotel Cheyenne only) and Standard level of the meal plan. 
  • Option to reserve a table: Yes
  • Character Dining: No.

If you plan to stay at the Hotel Cheyenne, you will be well acquainted with the Chuck Wagon Cafe, the home to your buffet breakfast (if you have chosen to add breakfast or paid for your meal plan) and most likely a place you'll stop off at arrival. The million dollar question then becomes if this place is worth the 20 minute trek from the main Disney parks and if so, why.

The easiest way to describe Chuck Wagon Cafe is a buffet version of Cowboy Cookout Barbecue. Your hot protein items are going to be along the likes of whole chicken legs, BBQ ribs and sausages, all of which are beautifully cooked and full of flavour. Seriously, if you are a meat eater, try the ribs, they are absolutely divine. 

For your sides, expect things like corn on the cobs, green beans, a variety of salads and BBQ beans. In addition, a speciality item that makes this place stand out is their jacket potatoes, complete with foil wrapping. A very authentic and rustic touch. Of course, it would be a rustic country themed buffet without a plethora of barbecue sauce and Chuck Wagon Cafe does this by the bucket-load, literally. 

Dessert wise, is a a little bit of a meh situation. Whilst they do an AMAZING Creme Caramel (seriously, I'll reserve 3 bowls just to consume as much of the stuff as possible), I struggle to remind a dessert that was particularly iconic to Chuck Wagon Cafe. 

So that's your dinner sorted. What about breakfast? Well, it's once again, like the dessert, tasty but with nothing that makes it stand out. Expect deli meats and cheeses as your savoury items and then a plethora of pastries, breads and fruit for sweet treats. It's very similar to every breakfast buffet in Disney's main 7 hotels so if you're staying at the other hotels, you're not missing too much. 

Overall I like Chuck Wagon Cafe. I've eaten there numerous times when I've stayed at the Cheyenne and I've yet to have a bad experience. That being said, there is very little in the breakfast and dessert department to make it stand out from the other buffets on site. 

In addition, it is a 20 minute walk away, unless you are staying at either the Cheyenne or the Santa Fe. Something that may put some guests off, especially given the restaurant only opens for dinner service unless you are staying at Cheyenne. Especially since you'll have clocked a good few miles on the pedometer by park close. 

Final Score: 7.5/10.

So what do you think? Do you agree with my score? Would you score Chuck Wagon Cafe higher or lower? Is there anywhere that you want me to review next? Let me know in the comments. Don't forget to like the official Facebook page, subscribe to the blog and follow the blog on Bloglovin.

Cowboy Cookout Barbecue

Fact-file: Location: Frontierland/Disneyland Park Type of restaurant: Counter Service.  Cost: 13-16 euro for an adult combo meal, 9 euro for a children's meal and 6 euro for a coffee break. Option to reserve a table: No. Character Dining: No.  There is one counter service in Disneyland Park that is leaps and bounds above the rest. One that has some of the BEST food in the whole park for really good value. This honour belongs to Cowboy Cookout Barbecue . There are many reasons why I have a soft spot for this place. Firstly, it's atmosphere is one of, if not the best counter service in Disneyland Paris. It's a good old fashioned western barn on the outside and the inside is adorned with wooden chairs and benches. Cowboy Cookout looks amazing. I challenge anybody who says otherwise.

Top 5 Disneyland Paris Hotels

Regardless of Disney park, there will be a variety of themed hotels, each one a different experience and price. So which Disneyland Paris hotel should you spend your hard earned cash on? Well, this is where I come in. Firstly a couple of ground rules: I will be leaving out Hotel New York and Disneyland Hotel. This is because I haven't stayed at either hotel and it would be unfair to judge a hotel that I haven't stayed in. These are the 5 main Disney hotels apart from the two mentioned ONLY. I won't be ranking any of the partner hotels or the new Les Villages Nature Paris.  Non of these of these hotels are BAD per say, consider the hotels further down the list to be less good as opposed to awful.  Finally, this is my opinion. You are welcome to agree/disagree.  So without further ado... 5. Hotel Santa Fe Themed around the average Pixar film Cars , Hotel Santa Fe is at the bottom of this list because it does one thing that the other hotels don't. It makes...

McDonalds (yes I'm reviewing it).

Fact-File Location:  Disney Village Type of Restaurant: Counter Service Cost: 8-10 euro for an adult meal with a dessert. 5 euro for a children's meal. Option to reserve a table: No Character dining: No. Well what can I say? I decided to review McDonalds today but this isn't a normal maccies. It's a magical McDonalds at Disneyland. Well... it's not actually THAT magical. This restaurant is one of the least themed in the whole of the resort, in-fact for the large majority of you who have visited a McDonalds at least once in your life, this place will be very similar, if slightly larger and more French. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris That being said, with the name like McDonalds, there are some things you can trust. Firstly, you can expect your favourite dishes such as chicken nuggets, Big Macs, Fillet O Fish (although they call it the original name of McFish here) and McFlurry ice-creams. For breakfast, you can expect things like pancakes and McMuf...
