There’s A Reason We’re Side Eyeing This New Disney World Announcement

When we’re at Disney World, we love heading to Ale & Compass. This table-service restaurant serves New England-style cuisine at an affordable price, only a 5-minute walk from EPCOT‘s International Gateway at Yacht Club.

Disney just announced ten brand-new menu items are coming to Ale & Compass today, but we’re massively side-eyeing Disney for this, because we’ve already eaten these “new” foods!

For their new breakfast additions, Disney announced there would be new Dark Chocolate Waffles. But there’s a problem – we’ve already eaten their Dark Chocolate Waffles! These are the same waffles as usual, but now served with espresso whipped cream instead of regular whip. Additionally, the new Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict looks very similar to the Crab Cake Benedict we saw last year. It looks like the only difference is an egg on top!

On their new Lunch & Dinner menu, there are quite a few similar items, too. The Blue Crab Bisque was already on the menu, but now it’s made with Chili Oil instead of Espelette Oil. There’s a brand-new New England Seafood Pot Pie, but this sounds reallyyyy similar to their old Seafood Pot Pie!

And lastly, the Stuffed French Toast is new, but Ale & Compass has had multiple variations of French Toast over the years. We’ve tried the Stuffed Apple French Toast before, which we enjoyed. This new Stuffed French Toast is filled with French vanilla stuffing and seasonal fruit compote, so it’s a similar variation of past menu items.

Different kind of French toast!

The menu items that are legitimately brand-new include the Maryland-style Crab Cake and Steak Frites. The three dessert menu items are also completely new, with a Banana Crème Brûlée, a Peanut Butter-Marshmallow Cup, and a Boston Cream Pie.

We’re so excited to try the brand-new menu items at Ale & Compass, but we’re pretty bummed that half of this list isn’t technically new. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World restaurant news!
