It’s MARDI GRAS time, baby!
And, we’re celebrating New Orleans style with this party in Disney Springs (anybody want to tag along and rock some beads with us??).
I scream, you scream, we all scream for — GELATO!
A great place to pick up some gelato goodness is Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs! And recently, the (tr)eatery debuted a NEW menu item that has us ready to dash on over…
It’s time to celebrate Mardi Gras! And if you will be in Disneyland for the occasion, you’ll want to know about some limited time specialty menu options at a few of the park’s dining locations.
At Café Orleans, specialty items include the Potato Leek Soup or a Mardi Gras twist on the Monte Cristo Sandwich, which will be dusted with royal-colored sugar and served with maple syrup and bacon herb slaw. [Read more…]
Get ready for Mardi Gras! House of Blues Restaurant & Bar in Disney Springs is serving up New Orleans dishes such as a Steak Po’ Boy made just for Mardi Gras.
Regular offerings on the menu that also “Let the Good Times Roll” include Jambalaya, Gumbo, and Bourbon Bread Pudding! [Read more…]
Here’s a fun contest for those of you who want to enjoy the royal treatment at Disneyland Resort! Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney is hosting a contest to crown a King and Queen of Mardi Gras!
Finally the titles you deserve! 😉 The Jazz Kitchen will select a King and Queen to hold court in the restaurant on March 5th.
A little bit of the Crescent City has arrived in Disney Springs! House of Blues has released a new limited-time New Orleans style sandwich — just in time for Mardi Gras!
This riff on the classic beef “debris” poboy features “sliced New Orleans style Braised Beef on a French roll,” dressed with Roma tomatoes, dill pickles and mayo and is served with french fries.
You can celebrate Mardi Gras early this year with the Mardi Gras-inspired Cupcake at Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter!
These pictures come to us with thanks to @yellowbeadsandme on Instagram. Stop by Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory for this yellow cake topped with purple, green, and gold frosting and a white chocolate piece decorated with fleur de lis, crowns, and Mickeys!

The Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square in Disneyland has a limited menu, and they do it so well. The Mint Juleps are refreshing (and underwent a makeover in 2017!), and the Beignets? Y’all. Yum.
Get your party on, because it’s Mardi Gras everyday at Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter! And for a little taste of New Orleans, you don’t have to look any further than Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory.
Our last visit for breakfast was some time ago. But I still knew I could expect to find some unique items for lunch that can’t be found in many other spots on property, even including the French Quarter’s sister resort, Riverside. Naturally, the French Quarter has a distinct advantage to add some unique flair to its dining choices, since its New Orleans vibe and theming is so naturally linked with Cajun and Southern cuisine.
Never fear, the less adventurous eaters in your group will find plenty of Counter Service staples here, too. But today we’d like to explore what makes Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory unique (aside from that tongue-twister of a name, that is ;-D).
So, let’s get in and let the good times roll!
Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory is easily located after entering the beautiful lobby of Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter.
Appropriately enough, the theming for this quick-service spot is directly influenced by New Orleans — and more specifically, Mardi Gras! [Read more…]
