Collective member Joel Wallin joins me this week as we count down our ten favorite places to eat in the Disneyland Resort. Some are in the top 10 because of the food, others the ambiance, while some are just the memories of Disneyland visits past. This is a GREAT time to plan a dining strategy for your next trip when Disneyland reopens! Do you agree with our choices? Did we get some wrong? Did we miss your favorite? Join the conversation on social media and let us know!!

On this episode, my guest is Bryce Randle. Bryce is an animation editor for Disney. He is also the author of an upcoming book on Disneyworld for Disneyland fans. This made him the perfect member of The Collective for this episode. We compare attractions that are both at Disneyland and Disneyworld. Which do we like better? Why? Why are they different in the first place? We share our likes and dislikes on each attraction.
