The Disneyland Parks Blog released some information on special dining menus for Valentine's Day at Steakhouse 55 and Carnation Cafe. Here's a link to the full article.

What do you think of the menus? Is anyone planning to go to those or to any other DL restaurant on Valentine's Day?

We went to disneyland for valentines day 2 years ago, and I dont know if they have it still but at the storytellers cafe they had a wonderful dinner and a fabulous all you can eat dessert bar.

We're eating at Blue Bayou that day. I wonder if they'll have anything special.

sorry to be a nudge - but if everything is already booked then what's the value of printing the menus?

[bennette]

She said the hotel and theme park restaurants are booked, not the DTD venues?

Re-read what I wrote above. I didn't provide the menus for the places that are booked out, I provided the menus for the four table service restaurants that are offering a special Valentine's Day menu AND still have space available.
