Heyyyy from Port Orleans: French Quarter and Riverside! We stopped by recently to check out the menus, and have a few updates for you!
Let’s jump in, shall we?
Hello from the Louisiana — er, Disney — Bayou! We moseyed over to Port Orleans French Quarter this week, and of course had to stop at one of our favorite Quick Service spots — Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory!
Sassagoula is best known for being the only spot in Walt Disney World for a classic Mickey shaped beignet — the warm, fluffy treat that I dream about more than I’d like to admit.
But today, something else caught our eye BESIDES tasty pastries. When we looked at the Menu Board at the “Italian Station” we noticed the “Create Your Own Pasta” was gone!
In its place were three “French Quarter” Pastas — Shrimp Arrabbiata, Chicken Alfredo, and Vegetarian. We also spotted a new Bayou Lasagna. We just had to sample a dish or two! [Read more…]
Walt Disney World is home to several moderate category resorts, but their food is far from moderate! You’ll find a wide variety of eats at each moderate resort from grab and go and pool bars to quick service and table service restaurants.
We wanted to bring you up to date on what’s going on menu-wise — and what a few of our favorites are! — at Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside in case you’re traveling there soon!
The resort pays homage to all things New Orleans and Mardi Gras — which means beignets are plentiful here!
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!

There were a few announcements from Disney today about new menus, additions, and more at popular locations in both Disneyland and Disney World. We’ve already tried some of these items, and the rest are on our to-try list, so stay tuned for reviews and updates! We’ll start out in Disneyland with the brand new menu we reviewed earlier for you.
Disneyland’s Hungry Bear has a brand new menu that includes this Cherry Coca-Cola Funnel Cake plus new sandwiches and burgers.
In Disney World, at Epcot’s Coral Reef Restaurant, you’ll now find a whole stuffed Maine lobster that comes with crispy baby potatoes, asparagus, béarnaise sauce, lemon, and butter. Read our latest review of Coral Reef Restaurant and see if we thought it could rise to the surface or not.

You love beignets? You love burgers? This might be right up your alley!
Debuting today at Port Orleans French Quarter’s Sassagoula Floatworks food court in Disney World is a sweet-meets-savory entree that seems like the perfect combo: the Beignet Burger.
If you can’t leave a Walt Disney World vacation without grabbing yourself an order of Port Orleans French Quarter Beignets (or, you know, two or three orders…), you’re going to want to make an extra stop the next time you visit the resort. We present to you: the Beignet Tee!
It’s officially fall — and you know what that means: pumpkin spice everything everywhere in Walt Disney World! 😉
And if you enjoy a beignet or two while you’re in the World, you’ll want to scoot yourself over to Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory in Disney World and Mint Julep Bar in Disneyland for Pumpkin Spice Mickey Beignets!
Port Orleans French Quarter Resort
has been home to several discoveries this past summer including Mickey-Shaped Beignets in Sassagoula Floatworks Food Court and Boozy Beignets at Scat Cats Club. And not to be left out, Saratoga Springs’ Artist’s Palette asked us to “choose them” with an Alien Dessert recently.
Our newest update from these resorts has to do with their Pizzas.
Mickey-Shaped Beignets have been a signature Disneyland treat for ages. And while Disney World’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter has long served Beignets, they’ve always been of the more traditional pillow shape. But all that has changed TODAY…
Because they’ve FINALLY LANDED IN DISNEY WORLD! [Read more…]
