By 3 Comments

Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort is in the midst of major changes. Construction continues on the Resort’s upcoming 500 guest room Tower as well as the Villa del Lago on-the-water restaurant.

Further changes include the recent transformation of Rix Lounge into Rix Sports Bar & Grill. And now, there is another change to report. If you search on Disney World’s website or My Disney Experience app for Pepper Market — the Counter Service option for Coronado Springs Resort — your search results will come up empty.

That’s because the Pepper Market appears to have undergone a name change to El Mercado de Coronado! [Read more…]

Disney World Food Hack: Chicken and Waffles at Grand Floridian Cafe!

By 2 Comments

We love a good Disney food hack — especially when it combines a duo of our favorite things. And today we’ve got a combo brought to us by Disney Food Blog reader Michael over at @DisneyNumNums! Join us at the Grand Floridian Cafe — and bring your stretchy pants!

Grand Floridian Cafe sign at entrance

Why? Because Michael tells us that if you start with the Grand Floridian Cafe’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken…

…you can end up with some killer Chicken and Waffles — with a Mickey Waffle, no less!

Chicken and Waffles

What, what?! In order to make this happen, all you have to do is request a waffle instead of the Crispy Potatoes, Kale, and Bacon that the chicken usually comes with!

You’ll get a choice between a Belgian Waffle and the Mickey Waffle — and you get to keep that Sriracha-Honey Drizzle (and get more on the side, if you want!)!

Chicken and Waffles!

The server also brought hot maple syrup, butter, and ketchup — just in case you want to change things up a little! How fun is this?! Many thanks to Michael for sharing with us!

Check out our latest review of the Grand Floridian Cafe and its classic Floridian Pancakes and Lobster Thermidor Burger!

New Rum Cake and More at Magic Kingdom’s Tortuga Tavern

By Leave a Comment

AAAAARRR

ya ready to go back to Tortuga Tavern?

Learn About:Tortuga Tavern
Magic Kingdom
Disney World Restaurants

This seasonally open spot in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland serves grub to hungry pirates. But because it is open sporadically, you never know exactly what you’ll find on the menu.

For a long time, Tortuga Tavern served up Mexican fare, then switched to a BBQ-based menu. These days, it’s relying primarily on park classics to serve the crowds. You’ll find Hot Dogs and Turkey Legs among the fare.

But I was still in for a couple of small surprises on my last visit. And the rule is, if you find Tortuga Tavern open during your visit, you should at least take a quick glance at the menu… and a quick look around, too!

Atmosphere

The main reason it’s fun to stop by Tortuga Tavern is because of its all-things-pirate-y theme in keeping with its location directly across from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.
