Picky eater...no chicken tenders!?

[Polynesian27]

Hi everyone, we have a little bit of an issue with my son being a very picky eater. Basically only eats chicken tenders or pizza, and I know that's crazy but it is what it is. All the restaurants we want to go to have grilled chicken and not your typical chicken tenders. Do you know if the restaurants in Disneyland will accommodate or are we just out of luck and have to stick to a quick service. Thanks so much for your help! this is our first time in Disneyland so everything is pretty new to us.

Are you talking about sit down restaurants? Which ones? When I did a search on Disneyland.com I got 59 results for chicken tenders, including Carnation Cafe & Carthay Circle had a kids pizza option. What sit down restaurants are you looking at?

Maybe bring in your own kids meal for him, for example..if Blue Bayou doesn’t have chicken tenders or pizza, just let them know. DLR is pretty kid friendly in all of the restaurants including sit down.

If chicken tenders are not on the menu it is unlikely they have them in house to accommodate. There are several locations that have chicken tenders.

What restaurants are you looking at that don't have chicken tenders or pizza? Is (plain) pasta an option?

Stagedoor Cafe has chicken tenders, but it is counter service, I would think you could by them and take them to a sit down place, but I'm not sure.

That is why I asked which sit down restaurant they are considering. I've heard of people bringing kids meals into Blue Bayou, but haven't heard of it happening at Napa Rose.

You can always get chicken tenders within the quick service areas prior to heading to your chosen restaurant as take out, provided that you have ample time.

If the item is not on the menu they can’t make it. They can often make substitutions to things but not turn grilled chicken into chicken tenders. There are lots of chicken tenders and pizza available in the parks:

Chicken tenders:

*Disneyland*
Carnation Cafe
Plaza Inn
Red Rose Tavern
Stage Door Cafe
Galactic Grill
Hungry Bear

*DCA*
Smokejumpers
Flo’s
Craftsman Bar and Craftsman Grill (inside GCH)

*DTD*
Naples
Splitsville

Pizza:

*Disneyland*
Red Rose Tavern
Alien Pizza Planet
Cafe Daisy in Toontown

*DCA*
Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta
Craftsman Bar and Craftsman Grill (inside GCH)
Hearthstone Lounge (inside GCH)

*DTD*
Naples
Napolini
Splitsville

I’m probably missing a few … you can buy a quick service meal for your child and bring it with you to a table service meal and no one will bat an eye.

If you want the best quick service (IMO) at the resort and don't mind sneaking into the Grand Cal this place has some of the best pizza on property and they have tenders too -
