Award Wieners

Award Wieners is firmly within the Disney's California Adventure tradition of giving restaurants and stores not-so-clever pun names. This hole-in-the-wall counter service location serves hot dogs with a selection of toppings, plus corn dogs and a kids meal.

This was our most disappointing meal on our vacation. The service was one the worst experiences we've ever had. The wait was 45 minutes to order our food (our son really wanted a hot dog :( ). Disney is well aware of the problem because when we started lining up we were given a piece of paper with our wait start time. Once we got our food it was given to the counter people. We noticed a couple of days later Disney was still giving out the time cards. As previous reviewers stated "how difficult" can it be to make a hot dog. To add insult to injury; the the food was OK and horribly over priced. Avoid at all costs. It'd probably be faster to walk to Disneyland and order a Hot Dog from one of the stands and come back; then to use Award Wieners.

We really expected better than this. It is not that hard to put together a good hot dog. It seems like little effort was put into quality and too much effort into quanity. Granted, this is theme park food we are talking about here, but a hot dog is do-able for about anyone. Perhaps Disney should reevaluate their "Magical place on Earth motto" and splurge enough of their profits into bringing this one up to snuff. We spent a fortune, at least give us a good dog!

History and Trivia - Hide Section

In 2009 most locations at the Disneyland Resort switched from an all-beef hot dog to a "premium" dog that is 60% beef / 40% chicken, and reportedly about 25% smaller.

In September 2010, due to the pending closure of the Farmer's Market location, Award Weiners began serving corn dogs. The new dog is also used for the corn dogs, which are hand-dipped and then fried at the location.
