Celebrate! Only If You Have The Money…

WDWNT Author on March 24, 2009

The latest addition to Disneyland’s rather small list of table service restaurants is Celebration Round-up and Barbecue at Big Thunder Ranch. Lunch and dinner at this new restaurant will cost $28.99 for adults and $18.99 for children. The meal consists of my favorite kind of food, meat, and lots of it. Basically traditional barbeque fare, such as chicken and ribs, with sides such as beans, coleslaw, and corn on the cob. Your meal also comes with a special “Cowboy Cone Cake” dessert. And of course, drinks are included with your meal.

While the menu looks absolutely spectacular, the price does seem a bit hefty to me for the kind of food they are offering. I would expect this kind of price only from some of the more upscale restaurants at the Resort, such as the Blue Bayou, Napa Rose, and Steakhouse 55. I was hoping for a counter service option as well, but it looks like that won’t be the case. The restaurant opens April 2 and you can now make your Priority Seating Reservations by calling Disney Dining at (714) 781-DINE.
