Beignets in Port Orleans

[FortWildernessLoopy]

Do they still sell regular beignets at Sassagoula or just the Mickey shaped ones? (and no, I don't mean the boozy ones)

 

[drwadadli]

Only the Mickey-shaped ones...sorry

 

[Deb & Bill]

They really aren't that good. Not nearly as good as the real ones from NOLA.

Well dang! guess we will have to cancel Disney and head to NOLA! I hear there is an awesome six flags waiting... I like to stir pot ya know.

Only Mickey shaped from the QS but they were still enjoyable. Much more dense than the original in NOLA but the chicory coffee ganache helps. Still worth a try if you’re staying at the resort and want a sweet treat

If you don't want the booze ones I bet someone would gladly take your pipettes .. then you can have your rectangular ones AND give someone some extra kahlua magic

The gluten free ones are not Mickey shaped but regular ones are. We got both as DH has a gluten allergy.

When did they switch them to Mickey shaped ones?

Early July.

Early July.

Oh strange. I thought they were good how they were. Do they taste different now?

There are things that should just be eaten where they are intended to be eaten. This is one. Those sad imitations at POR should not be consumed. Not worth the useless calories!

We actually enjoyed them this morning with our coffee after our morning walk to the FQ. We brought 6 back to our room at PORS and they were good - fun to eat and something a bit different that we can't get at home. DD's always request them at least once a trip if we are at PORS. There were dipping sauces offered (coffee, caramel, strawberry for $1.99 each), but we didn't want the sauces.

Ugh, if these are like the ones in DL, they should NOT be called beignets. These are donuts. While both are delicious and fried, a beignet is NOT a donut. A beignet has different consistency and batter. ugh! It's like when Disney tried to make (and publicize) how to make Gumbo without a Roux!!!

 

[OrangeCountyCommuter]

Yes those sad Disney imitations are more like doughnuts. I guess if you never have the NOLA versions it’s ok

Beignets at the Café de Monde with coffee in NO early morning after an all nighter is something everyone should do at least once in their life. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I've done this more than once in my misspent youth. At this point I'll take the imitation in the relative safety of WDW's version of the French Quarter.
