Foodie Guide to Holidays at Disneyland Resort 2024

General By November 8, 2024 No Comments

It’s time to “treat your elf” because the holidays are coming to Disneyland Resort! Starting Nov. 15, 2024, through Jan. 6, 2025, the resort will be kicking off the most wonderful time of the year – and that means plenty of treats and eats to get you in the spirit. The culinary teams have made a list and checked it twice to put together a festive foodie selection for you this year.

There’s snow much to enjoy this year, a sleigh-worth in fact. From fan (and elf) favorites, like the Candy Cane Sourdough Bread, to plenty of new yuletide bites, like the Santa Baymax Macaron and Alien Reindeer Macaron, your taste buds will be walking in a winter wonderland.

For even more ways to jingle all the way, there’s dazzling holiday excitement you won’t want to miss. For magical entertainment from the day and night, there’s “A Christmas Fantasy Parade,” “Believe … In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular, and “World of Color – Season of Light.” And what season would be complete without “it’s a small world” Holiday and Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle.

It’s about time we deck the halls and get to this year’s Foodie Guide!

Here’s a look into some of the ways to celebrate the holiday season at Walt Disney World – and the best part is they’re all included with your park ticket. So, take note and start making your wish list, because these festive experiences are ones you’ll want to check off twice!

Gingerbread displays at Disney's BoardWalk

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is exploring the gingerbread displays at several Disney Resort hotels!

Many Ways to Eat Beignets at Disney World Right Now

General By July 25, 2024 No Comments

Love a sweet, pillowy beignet? You’re in the right place because right now there are so many different beignets at Disney World to try. Here are seven kinds of beignets across three locations so that you can plan your own beignet excursion on your next trip.

1. A Bounty of Beignets at Port Orleans French Quarter

Danielle, ready to taste test beignets for our dear readers.

The first leg of our beignet adventure started on a trip on the water, courtesy of the complimentary Sassagoula River Cruise leaving port at Disney Springs.

That’s right, at Disney World, you can get beignets with a side of bayou-adjacent sightseeing. Start at Disney Springs (if driving, park at the Lime Garage for the closest location) and head to the Marketplace dock to board your complimentary boat to Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort.

Sassagoula River Cruise
We boarded the Memphis Miss – First stop: beignets!

After catching waterfront views of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and the adorable Treehouse Villas on the way, head to Scat Cat’s Club – Cafe, where guests can enjoy classic Mickey-shaped beignets, frosted beignets for kids, even beignets just for adults.

Classic Mickey-Shaped Beignets

Beignets at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort
Of course, Walt Disney World has Mickey-shaped beignets!

These iconic beignets are available in packs of three or six, and priced at $7.79 and $11.29 respectively at the time of publication. If you want to find yourself by a romantic atrium fountain snacking on a Mickey-shaped treat, these are your beignets. So picturesque. Especially the powdered sugar all over your hands and face.

Light, airy, and covered in alllll the powdered sugar (and then some) these beignets also come with one of three dipping sauces: strawberry, chocolate, or caramel.

Bonus: Guests can also get one of these classic beignets with their choice of ice cream and sauce for $9.29.

Specialty Beignets

The specialty beignets offered festive chocolate or raspberry icing

A different look than your traditional powdered beignets, the Mickey-shaped Specialty Beignets are a larger and festively colorful confection available for $4.29 each at Scat Cat’s Club – Café.

Baton-Rouge Beignets (21+)

Baton Rouge Beignets
Pipettes at the ready!

These next beignets were the most unique our group had ever seen. The Baton-Rouge Beignets ($12.49 at time of publication) come with an interactive pipette element for the filling which ensured the fluffy beignet dough remained fresh until the last bite.

When ready, you can squeeze the pipette and fill your beignet with your choice of Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur, or RumChata Cream Liqueur.

2. Gluten-Friendly Beignets at Scat Cat’s Club – Café

Gluten-free beignets
The gluten-friendly beignets welcome everyone more guests to enjoy a fluffy treat.

Worth their own place on our list: the famously gluten-friendly beignets available at Scat Cat’s Club – Café. If you have a gluten sensitivity, or love someone who does, chances are you already know that Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter has long been home to these beignets of a more traditional pillow shape, hold the gluten (and for the same prices as the standard batches).

A bit thicker consistency than their Mickey-shaped counterparts, the gluten-friendly option offers a crisped outer layer and soft, chewy dough that makes these oh-so-fun to pull apart.

3. A Stuffed Beignet in the France Pavilion

Stuffed beignet
This hidden gem is available year-round at EPCOT

Did you know that beignet translates loosely to “fritter” in English? 

Beignets were brought to New Orleans in the 1800s by the French Acadians, so next, our group toured World Showcase all the way to the France pavilion at EPCOT to experience a beignet from the homeland.

At Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, there are so many beautiful treats on display, it can be hard to decide on just one – but here at Disney Parks Blog we make tough decisions for our readers and ordered the Beignet with chocolate and hazelnut filling ($5.95 at time of publication).

Stuffed beignets on a tray in EPCOT
Hmmm … Suddenly you’ve got lots of decisions to make in the France Pavilion.

This round beignet may appear to be a humble treat next to the Créme Brûlée and Parfait aux Fruits – but the delicious beauty is on the inside.

4. Tiana’s Famous Beignets at Magic Kingdom Park

Tiana's Famous Beignets
The limited-time beignets just outside Tiana’s Bayou Adventure were the special spice of an idea that grew into this beautiful beignet roundup blog. Who better to get us thinking about an all-day beignet adventure than Tiana herself? 

Head to Magic Kingdom Park to taste these sweet additions to the Golden Oak Outpost menu, available for $6.99 until they dance away on Aug. 8.

Tiana's Famous Beignets getting dusted with powdered sugar
A generous helping of powdered sugar every time.

One of the best parts of this stop is that we could watch cast members sprinkle the powdered sugar all over a fresh batch of beignets, then drizzle them with a golden stream of honey.

Plant-Based Potato Flautas

If you’re ready to cook up new memories at home, here’s the recipe!

PLANT-BASED POTATO FLAUTAS

Lamplight Lounge

Disney California Adventure Park
Serves 4

TOMATILLO-SERRANO SAUCE

  • 4 small tomatillos (enough to make 1 cup), peeled and washed
  • 2 serrano chiles, stem removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
  • 1/2 Hass avocado (3 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 cup spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup canola oil

VEGAN PIQUILLO CREMA

  • 1/2 cup silken tofu
  • 1/4 cup chopped piquillo peppers
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon roasted garlic puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

ARUGULA ESCABECHE SALAD

  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 Fresno pepper, sliced into thin rings
  • 8 thin slices red onion
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

POTATO FLAUTAS

  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper, more if you prefer spicy
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • Canola oil, for frying

FOR SERVING

  • 1 cup soy chorizo
  • Tomatillo-Serrano Sauce
  • Potato Flautas
  • Vegan Piquillo Crema
  • Arugula Escabeche Salad

FOR TOMATILLO-SERRANO SAUCE:

  1. Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Drain and place in blender
  2. Add garlic, avocado, spinach, and salt and puree until smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil with blender running on low speed.

FOR PIQUILLO CREMA:

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

FOR ARUGULA ESCABECHE SALAD:

  1. Toss arugula, peppers, onion, and cilantro in a bowl. (Take care when handling chilies and peppers)
  2. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

FOR POTATO FLAUTAS:

  1. Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Do not cover.
  2. Drain and cool potatoes. Mash until creamy and add serrano pepper, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Warm tortillas and evenly portion filling in each, about 2 tablespoons each. Roll and close with toothpicks, 2 in each roll, spaced evenly apart.
  4. With caution, heat enough oil to come 1 inch up the sides of a heavy pan. When oil is 350°F, carefully place flautas in oil and fry until golden, about 4 minutes. Continue working in batches, removing from pan and draining on paper towels. Remove toothpicks.

TO SERVE:

  1. While flautas are frying, sauté chorizo in a small frying pan until crisp.
  2. Equally divide Tomatillo-Serrano Sauce among 4 serving platters. Place 3 Potato Flautas on top in each platter and top flautas with soy chorizo. Drizzle with Vegan Piquillo Crema and top with a little Arugula Escabeche Salad.

What’s Cooking at The Artist’s Palette

General By August 8, 2023 No Comments

Attention foodies! We’ve got some exciting, and tasty, news to share. A delicious destination at Walt Disney World Resort will be getting some new additions to its menu – The Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.

This location will be getting a variety of new dishes sure to make you and your taste buds very happy starting tomorrow, August 9. Whether you like sweet, savory, or a little of both, you’ll want to check out this location on your next visit once you see what the talented culinary team has in store for you.

Let’s race over to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see what flavors The Artist’s Palette has painted up for us, shall we?

This location offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner and, starting tomorrow, will be home to a new selection of eats and some returning favorites, all available on mobile order! Start your day with Chef Nick Walker’s new plant-based creation – the Avocado Toast – because who doesn’t love avocado toast? This breakfast bite features avocado, cherry tomatoes, radish, pickled red onions, arugula, and “aïoli” on toasted sunflower bread.

If you’re in for a sweeter start, try the French Toast Strata, a popular breakfast offering now updated with a delicious crème anglaise. It’s also served with fresh berries and your choice of bacon or sausage.

On the move for an exciting adventure at the resort or parks? The grab-and-go market section is filled with offerings sure to please your palette, including the new Charcuterie with Chef’s selection of cheeses, cured meats, and traditional accompaniments. Another addition will be the Turkey BLT served with chef’s house-made pimento cheese.

Any sandwich lovers out there? How about ones from Western New York? If so, the Beef on Weck is inspired by the classic mainstay of the region. It’s made up of sliced brisket and horseradish cream on a caraway brioche bun served with au jus and Saratoga chips. Another handheld option is the tasty Tuna Salad Sandwich on toasted sunflower bread.

For pizza lovers, The Artist’s Palette is home to a wonderful pizza hearth, with dough prepared in-house. The Margherita Pizza remains but has been updated from its previous iteration, now with mozzarella, fresh pizza sauce, and basil pistou on house-made pizza dough.

As dinnertime rolls around after 4:00 p.m., this spot will feature three create-your-own entrées – the Homestyle MeatloafSautéed Garlic Shrimp, and Herb-roasted Chicken. All three of these dishes are served with your choice of two sides – Yukon gold mashed potatoes, garlic green beans, roasted rainbow carrots, steamed white rice, or edamame succotash. What a meal!

If you’re a fan of the longtime favorite, the Saratoga Salad, don’t worry. This staple is here to stay! It combines mixed field greens, feta, dried cranberries, apples, spiced walnuts, crispy ciabatta croutons, and lemon-poppy seed vinaigrette. Now that’s my kind of salad. Another signature offering that you can’t miss is the Ham & Cheese Panini. This bite features sliced ham, smoked gouda, dijon mustard, and quattro formaggi spread pressed to perfection.

For a sweet finish, the bakery team has put together two new treats you’re going to love. First up is the Derby Day Pie. This delight is inspired by traditional sweets from a day at the racetrack and features a pie shell with chocolate-nut filling topped with buttercream and horseshoe décor. Also new, the signature Artist’s Palette Cookie is a mouthwatering sugar cookie with icing ‘paint’ and strawberry biscuit stick ‘paintbrush.’ It’s adorable and delicious.

1. Pineapple Upside Down Cone

If you’re looking for an explosion of flavor, the Pineapple Upside Down Cone is the one for you.

Are you and your tween up for a challenge? Gather your entire family and get ready to dive into the iconic Sand Pail Sundae from Happy Landings Ice Cream. What’s in it? Oh, you know, the usual … vanilla and chocolate swirled soft-serve on vanilla cake, then topped with waffle cone pieces, cookies ‘n cream crumbles, caramel, hot fudge, and finished with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and a cherry – all served in an exclusive water parks souvenir sand pail. WOW – that was a mouthful – literally!

3. Fish Tacos

Do you and your tween prefer a snack that has the perfect balance between sweet and salty? I’ve got two delicious options for you! First up is the incredible Fish Tacos. Picture this, crispy-battered fish served in a flour taco shell with pineapple salsa and chipotle slaw. YUM!

4. BBQ Grilled Chicken and Roasted Pineapple Flatbread

Where are my pizza lovers? Over at Leaning Palms, you’ll find this flatbread that features homemade BBQ grilled chicken and roasted pineapple, red onions, and cilantro with tomato sauce and mozzarella shredded cheese. It’s like 2 pizzas in one!

5. The Typhoon Tilly Sipper

Although this last one is not edible, it will help you beat the Florida heat with style. I’m talking about the Typhoon Tilly Sipper. This exclusive, limited-time sipper is available with free fountain drink refills during your thrill-packed day.

I know that all of these treats have you ready to put on your best bathing suit, grab some sunscreen and enjoy a full day of tropical adventure! The best part is that at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, there’s something for everyone.

“Now my experience at California Grill was absolutely amazing! For this being my first time it definitely gave me a good impression! The service from the Cast Members were exceptional! Our waiter, Walter, was so much fun and helped us picked some yummy dishes! Right now they have a 3-Course Meal to celebrate the 50th Celebration! From the drinks to the main course and ending with dessert everything was to perfection! And it didn’t hurt that you saw Space Mountain (my fave) and Cinderella’s Castle as your view.”

Ashley ordered the Rainbow Roll (Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi, Avocado, Mango, Pickled Watermelon Radish) for her California Grill appetizer:

For her main course, she ordered the Cast Iron-grilled Pork Tenderloin (Goat Cheese Polenta, Forest Mushrooms, Lacquered Pork Belly, Root Spinach, Corn, Zinfandel Glaze):

For dessert, she enjoyed the California Grill’s Meyer Lemon Chiffon Cake (Chevre Whip, Meringue, Blueberry Foam, Blueberry Gel):

Here’s a quick rundown of the California Grill restaurant highlights:

  • This restaurant is located in Walt Disney World at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
  • On the 15th floor of the hotel, guests enjoy a view of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom park while they dine. This dining experience is known as one of the best for catching the Magic Kingdom fireworks display.

Ashley said that using MouseDining has transformed her Disney planning experience into a more peaceful one.

She said, “I was finally able to mark California Grill off of my Disney Dining Bucket List all thanks to my beautiful friends over at MouseDining.

Especially for the rare places we want to try; once it’s available MouseDining will send you that alert immediately and you’ll be able to book.
