Mickey's head

I wouldn't dare to disagree with anyone who says France is the culinary capital of the world. But there is still one part of France this honorary title doesn't apply to: Eurodisney.
The food served in this little fairytale land is far from being magic. It is not only overpriced, but also unimaginative, bland, boring and above all: unhealthy. Burger, American style pizza, fries and fizzy drinks.
The Disney eatieries might all look a different interior design theme, but the theme in the kitchens remains the same across them all. Of course, there are exceptions: the Blue Lagoon restaurant, part of the Pirates of the Carribean attraction, gets top ratings even in the world outside of Disneyland. But when you already pay 17 Euro for 2 drinks and one tiny Mickey Mouse head pizza in one of the other places, I don't even want to imagine what pricetag the foie gras in the Blue Lagoon comes with.
My tip: should you ever go to Disneyland, take a picnic with you: baguette, salami, ham and cheese. One third of the price of the Disneyland food but three times as nice.

For dessert, try the only edible thing Disneyland has to offer: a brioche bun filled with Nutella. No need to mention though that it comes in the shape of Mickey's head.
