It’s one of park goer’s favorite dishes at Disneyland; and there’s quite a bit of history behind it. Chili (family style) was always one of Walt Disney’s favorite meals. Comfort food you could say. He loved the stuff. After a hard days work in Disneyland he used to head to Carnation Cafe off Main Street U.S.A. and grab a bowl of his family’s famous chili.
