We see menu changes happen in Disney World practically every week, and while some of them we’re huge fans of, we’ll also admit that there are others that make us a little sad.
New eats!
Just recently, we headed over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace to try their new menu offerings (you’ll also find these options at the indoor Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto). However, we’ve gotta admit that they weren’t exactly what we were expecting, and if we’re being honest, some of them we wouldn’t get again.
We started out with the Shrimp and Plantain Roll for $18. Our server said this was his favorite new thing on the menu, but we didn’t have the same experience, unfortunately. We did get some great crunch from the rice and vegetables, and while the sweetness of the plantain balanced with the shrimp, the rest of the flavors and textures didn’t mix well, in our opinion. We also didn’t taste the sauce on top at all, which was interesting. And as a warning, the bees were majorly attracted to the plantains, so keep that in mind!

Next up for us was the Spicy Honey Pork Wings for $15, and these were our favorite of the new additions. It wasn’t spicy at all, which we didn’t mind. Instead, it was wonderfully sweet with a tang, mostly from the sauce, which reminded us of a mayo-based sauce with wonderful Polynesian seasonings. The meat itself wasn’t too tough, which we appreciated, and while it didn’t have a lot of flavor itself, the sauce was delicious.

Finally, it was time for the Yuca Fries w/ Plant-Based Beef and Asian Slaw for $14. While we didn’t mind the mild seasoning on the fries, they overall tasted pretty starchy and dry. They weren’t very crispy at all on the outside, and the plant-based beef didn’t taste like any sort of meat. The sauce on top of these didn’t help, especially since it was almost fruity in a way, and we’re just not sure it matched.
