The kids are out from school in March and April and that means that tons of families are headed to the 2 meccas on the Left and East Coasts — DISNEY!

Whenever we go to either Orlando, FL or Anaheim, CA, we miss good food quickly after a day or two of hotel cuisine.

Here’s two local tips to get your stomach happy happy again when you’re visiting Disney World or Disney Land:

ANAHEIM, CA:

There’s a great Korean BBQ Restuarant literally about 5-7 minutes from the Disney block area called MO RAN GAK Restaurant. They consistently serve great Korean food. If you’re in the mood for something authentic that’s good for the stomach and priced right for the wallet, try them out: Mo Ran Gak Korean Restuarant is located at 9651 Garden Grove Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92844. (between Gilbert Street and Brookhurst Street) TEL: 714-638-1177.

ORLANDO, FL:

Everyone loves good Chinese food. Orlando has one of the best Chinese restaurants there can be for a tourist haven like Orlando — right on International Drive. Ming Court is the perfect place for dinner after a long day at the park or other attractions.

And the kids love it because they have HUGE goldfish in the pond outside where you can feed them fish pellets (dispenser costs a dime I think). So even if you’re waiting for a table, the kids won’t be nagging you…except for more fish food to feed the goldfish. 9188 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819 [TEL: 407-351-9988] http://www.ming-court.com/


Where do you eat when you travel to Disney either in Orlando or Anahiem?
