Beaches and Cream vs. Plaza Fries

[baler31]

FWIW my favorite cheat at WDW has always been the thick cut fries. We were lucky at the Plaza in June and they went in the kitchen when we ordered and asked about the fries and came back and told us they had the thick cut on hand and we could order those instead of the new fries. Also, we were informed that they switched because people complained about the small portion size of the larger fries and that the smaller fries gives the impression of a larger portion Have no idea if that is true or not but was told you can try requesting the larger fries and if they have them they will serve them to you.

Beaches and Cream still has the larger fry and now offer them "loaded" in 3 styles. See review:

I do like you can sub loaded for only 1.50 more.

Thanks for the low down. I was very disappointed in the thin fries on our last trip to The Plaza. Hopefully we can get them next time too.

While not as good, Liberty Tree and SciFi also had the thicker fries on our last visit

Thanks for the tip. Those fries were my favorite and I was so sad to hear they'd been changed. Now just to see how this no ADR thing works out...

Sigh. If true, it's just another indication of the dumbing down of the menu. Not that fries are high on my list for Disney, but it's the principle.
