Not only has Disney World’s Be Our Guest Restaurant just won a prestigious award, it’s also got a few new menu items!

Welcome Guest Author Daniel S. with his review of the new chicken dish at the Magic Kingdom’s Be Our Guest Restaurant! The new entree replaces the Rotisserie Cornish Hen.

While I was sad that the new items weren’t on the menu yet when I visited, I couldn’t pass up a chance to try another undiscovered sandwich while at my favorite Disney sandwich shop!

Chicken Pesto Pomodoro Sandwich

The Chicken Pesto Pomodoro sandwich was a winter seasonal selection that is supposedly becoming a regular item on the menu!

It features grilled chicken, Swiss cheese, tomato, and basil leaves. They said the bread is brushed with olive oil before being coated in basil pesto.

A very helpful hostess recommended ordering an extra side of pesto (she said some were finding the sandwich too dry without any extra).
