Beignets Arrived In the Magic Kingdom…
First of all, let’s cast our minds back to February. There was a chill in the air, the ride vehicles had just been spotted for the first time over at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and the delicious “Celebrate Soulfully” foodie event was making waves across Disney World.
As part of this scrumptious annual culinary event, fans were thrilled to see beignets added to a Magic Kingdom menu for a limited time only.
Powdered sugar and expectation puffed in the air as fans queued all the way through Adventureland to have a taste…and a new crowd favorite park snack was born!
…But Were They Any Good?
Or was it?
Well, we all know by now that, if you’re looking for beignets at Walt Disney World, you absolutely can’t go wrong with the offerings from over at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter.
They’re soft, they’re puffy, they’re Mickey-shaped…and they’re beautifully reminiscent of the “real deal” treat from New Orleans itself.
So, when our reporters tried those Magic Kingdom beignets back in February, we were rather surprised to find they tasted nothing like the originals!
As you can see from our MickeyBlog vlog, and indeed from our full review here, the Magic Kingdom beignets were much closer to being croissants, and not too enticing ones at that. Oh dear!
Back for Round Two
Still, the sugary pastry snack was still an undeniable hit among guests, so we weren’t at all surprised to see Disney officially confirm that the beignets will make their grand return to Magic Kingdom this summer!
While an official date has not been revealed, we can hope the beignets will land in Frontierland to coincide with the long-awaited opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on June 28th.
