Do your children do strange things at disneyland when they get tired and loopy? For instance, cramming themselves in crevices or staring off into space?
Ha ha I fell asleep on top of a brick wall in New Orleans Square a few years ago. I was exhausted. I seriously just wanted to lay down for a second, but I just couldn't help it. I was out.

Need advice for Sundays DL trip!
1. Which is better, sour cherry balls from the bins or pre-bagged? Or is there no difference?
2. Are the sweet potato fries from hungry bear any good? Is that the only place they're served?
Pre-bagged and yes, love the sweet potato fries. - Alicewhoareyou536.0 #209 4-5-13 10:11PMLike Reply
I believe Cafe Orleans has sweet potato fries as well. I'm not sure about other places. The food section has menus you can browse. I'm a big fan of food so I like to browse them for fun. :) - aidensmama336.5 #445 4-5-13 10:12PMLike Reply

prebagged to ensure that no one has put their dirty hands on them, I believe the sour cherry balls are the same. Regarding the sweet potatoe fries, only at Hungry bear. Long shot could ask at Cafe New Orleans. They are tasty but only if you love sweet potatoes. - Plumiegirl3325.0 #10 4-7-13 9:45AMLike Reply
