Going to DL for the first time this year (Disney World vet ) and I'm curious!
What is your favorite QS at Disneyland?Depends.
The QS food at Disneyland is better.
The TS food at WDW is better.
As per my username, I have extensive experience with all parks on both coasts.
Disneyland in CA (and California Adventure) has acceptable quick service food, and very good table service food, but the parks aren't focused on the "vacation experience." They feel more like amusement parks where the main focus is the shows and attractions. It feels like you're a part of the Socal landscape rather than in a Disney bubble. Therefore, the food comes across as acceptable but not remarkable. A handful of table service locations in Disneyland are very good, especially in the Grand Californian.
Walt Disney World in FL is an all inclusive destination in terms of the sheer number of hotel offerings and food offerings. Plenty more focus is placed on vacation planning to include meal planning. There's a ton more variety of food options both for table service and quick service. As a result, a "foodie" is going to have lots more fun in FL rather than in CA at Disney, especially during Epcot's Food and Wine Festival.

Between these two, I prefer Tortilla Jo's.I am trying to decide where to eat in Downtown Disney...currently I am thinking of Tortilla Jo's, is Naples better?
Ralph Brennon's Jazz Kitchen or Catal are my go-to's in Downtown Disney. Naples has good pizza too.I am trying to decide where to eat in Downtown Disney...currently I am thinking of Tortilla Jo's, is Naples better?
Comparing individual parks, I think overall Animal Kingdom has the best food.
Agreed, especially during Food & Wine!And overall for the parks, I'd take Epcot, no question.

Having said that, I really miss the Vegetarian Gumbo at the Royal Street Veranda in DL!
