Sit Down and Eat

Once you've had a look around Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost, it's time to grab a chair and enjoy your food - there's plenty of places to have a seat.

And when you're finished, Colonel Hathi hopes that you'll be back soon!

All The Points

Looking closer at a nearby fireplace, which has long been out of action, we can see a fireguard that is perfectly fitted to Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost!

If we look carefully, we can see that the guard depicts something familiar to all adventurers - the compass points of North, East, South and West!

Above and Around

Looking around Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost, we can see many knick-knacks from Colonel Hathi's adventures and walkabouts.

Photos, trinkets, ironware, something for everyone!

Keep It Up, 2, 3, 4

 Of course, it's Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost. Did you get it?

It's a fantastic place to get a bite to eat - and there is a great range of sitting inside and outside the restaurant. Good for the ever-changing weather of France!

 We're going to have a good nosey around the restaurant over the next few days, so whilst you wait in line for your pizza or salad, I'll get my tour book ready!

Hup 2, 3, 4

One of my favourite restaurants in Disneyland Paris is situated in the midst of Adventureland, away from the biz and the crowds...

Can this sign give you a hint as to the theming of the restaurant?

Of course, it's related to the Jungle Book. And a very loveable character as well...

Well, this image doesn't give us much more of a clue. Maybe the title of this post will? Join us again tomorrow to find out the restaurant - and for the rest of this week, we will be exploring this great Pizza Outpost!

You Buttered Your Bread - Now Sleep In It

Au Chalet de Marionette, a great place to grab a bite to eat in Fantasyland, Paris. Just remember to take some time to look around as you queue up to order your food!

It looks like Pinocchio is also quite hungry for a bite to eat!

I just hope Foulfellow and Gideon don't catch up with him!

Time For A Cookout

If you meander deep into Frontierland, Disneyland Paris, you'll come across a tasty treat!

Down in Cottonwood Creek you will be able to experience the Cowboy Cookout Barbeque.

Come One! Come All!

This fantastic setting is the place where cowboys of the Frontier head for a tasty bite.

As you can see, you can get some Tasty Cowboy Chow with Disney Characters here in Cottonwood Creek. It looks like Woody and friends will be here to join us!

And if you are wondering what foods are available, you can see there are burgers, rotisserie chicken, pork ribs and vegetarian burgers. Delicious!

A Quick Bite...At The Last Chance

It's been a while since we had a quick bite at a restaurant in Disneyland Paris, so today we're going to stop by the Last Chance Cafe in Frontierland and see if we can have a wee bite of something tasty!

The cafe is situated around from the entrance to Frontierland, and a nice change to The Lucky Nugget which is also nearby. You can buy some great Western grub, chips and bites, and such. And a good place to grab a beer or a soft drink.

There's not a massive amount of seating, but due to the location there are usually tables emptying regularly. So be sure to stop by and rest your weary cowboy boots!

Details of Trams

When the Royal Family visits Disneyland Paris, we like to wander up Main Street U.S.A. and pop into Market House Deli for a coffee or some pastries.

(Small child not included!)

When you have decided on your treats, be sure to take a walk around the deli. You will find some fantastic hidden treasures and details. Such as this beautiful piece of artwork, showing some details of trams that you can perhaps find on Main Street itself!

Further Stories of Cinderella

We revist Auberge de Cendrillon in Disneyland Paris, to have a look at another couple of Cinderella story portraits.

The first one is a tapestry we are introduced to when we enter the restaurant, and meet Cinderella before being seated.

It reads:

Il etait une fois, dans un pays lointain, un royaume paisible, prospere et riche de traditions et de legendes.
(Once upon a time in a land far-far away, [there was] a peaceful kingdom, prosperous and rich in traditions and legends)

Gus and Jaq also appear to welcome us to the start of the story.

Inside the restaurant, however, we see another portrait from one of the more memorable scenes of the film.

When Cinderella tries on - and fits! - the Glass Slipper. C'est superbe!

Outside Del Oro

Looking around the outside of the Fuente del Oro restaurant in Frontierland, be sure to pay attention to some of the fantastic Disney Details of the architecture and finishings of the building.

We have looked at some of the decor before, but small details, like the items on the window ledge abover, give the building a lease of life, even when the restaurant isn't open.

Details Sideways

After passing the Welcome to Frontierland plaque, and truly entering Thunder Mesa, you will see this piece of decoration 'sticking out' from the building, sideways.

Cast your mind back several weeks and you may recognise this decoration as part of Fuente Del Oro!

Cinderella Through Paintings

Auberge de Cendrillon, in Fantasyland in Disneyland Paris, has some beautiful decor situated throughout the entire restaurant. With many paintings and portraits depicting key moments from Cinderella's infamous story.

Like this piece of tapestry, showing Cinderella doing her usual, hard-working chores.

Or this collage of her night at the ball.

And this final beautiful painting, showing the true love between Cinderella and Prince Charming.

I Should Be So Lucky

The Lucky Nugget Saloon is an often walked-by area of Disneyland Paris by those who don't decide to dine at this fine establishment.

But as you walk-by, you may notice a poster or two advertising the Saloon. Be sure to give the artwork a once-over!

Lighting The Fuente

The restaurant, Fuente del Oro, in Frontierland is one of my favourite detailed spots in Disneyland Paris. As you know, we have looked at this restaurant from time to time here in DF'82! And if you are a regular reader, you will also know that we have a motto to Always Look Up here at the blog.

So be sure to do this at the Fuente, and you will take notice of some fantastic detailing of the lighting displays.

If you look carefully, you can see the details are animals, commonly found in the Frontierland area.

Hurry Back

If you remember last week on DF'82 we had a look around Fuente del Oro restaurant in Frontierland. But do you remember how we say to always look up?

Remember to do just that as you exit the restaurant, and you'll see a nice goodbye just for all us cowboys!

Through the Stained Glass

When thinking about Disneyland Paris, and mentioning stained glass windows, you could think about the beautiful Sleeping Beauty images within le Chateau, or the windows in the Pinocchio restaurant. But today, we head over to Auberge du Cendrillon restaurant and point out an often overlooked window in the reception area.

A nice homage to the pumpkins which eventually turned into Cinderella's beautiful coach (which can be seen outside the restaurant, also!). If you want to know what dining at the restaurant is like, read my review from earlier in the year.

Details of del Oro

After yesterday's bite of lunch at Fuente del Oro, let's take some time to explore some of the beautiful details of the restaurants outside dining area.

Especially look at this beautiful focal point, situated at the centre of the entry and dining way. Like a typical Mexican-inspired fountain, which you would find in a dried-out desert town.

A Quick Bite At... Fuente del Oro

Situated deep in Frontierland, across from Big Thunder Mountain, is the Fuente del Oro restaurant. A great place to grab a bite to eat, whilst eating in a beautifully themed Mexican-Western fusion restaurant.

This is the best place in park to buy Mexican themed food items, such as chicken fajitas or a taco salad. They also do a great Chilli con Carne (with nachos) and some Mexican fries!

If you decide to eat around lunchtime in the parks (12-2pm), this is a great place to choose as there is plenty seating inside and outside (which has enough covering that even in the cooler months you could sit outside to enjoy the world).

The restaurant usually opens from 10am until 7pm, and is open at least 6 days a week. With enough dining choices to please almost everyone, and in such a fun location, it is a great option for a quick bite.
