Disney World Introduces Boozy Beignets

[Shelly F - Ohio]

Disney World is known for its lavish food inspired by different cultures all around the world. With everything from a Toy Story-inspired pizza place to the seafood at the Coral Reef Restaurant to a Mexican restaurant overlooking a replica Mayan pyramid, you can find just about any type of cuisine you could imagine.

But if you needed another reason to visit this magical amusement park, we’ve got good news: you can now get beignets filled with alcohol at the Scat Cat’s Club, a Southern jazz lounge, at the Port Orleans Resort. Beignets, a deep-fried, fluffy pastry, are a French Quarter staple. In the Disney version, guests can infuse these sweets with the alcohol of their choosing using a pipette. For $8 each, guests are allowed one boozy pipette per pastry of Baileys, Kahlua or Rumchata

I love beignets but I'm not sure that infusing them was one of the Liquor’s doesn't really seem like it would add much to them. I love the Liquor’s they are offering but I think I'd rather have them separately that infused into a beignets.

I tried the beignets last fall... not sure if it was just the batch I had but they were so heavy and greasy to me, adding liquor to that would be a recipe for illness for me...

They're so-so. They're nowhere near the level of the real Cafe Du Monde, and NOLA has better to offer than that IMHO.

I figured not... I have never been to NOLA but hope to get there one day and try the real thing!

I agree with everyone else in this thread; I cannot imagine the liquor infused beignets will be good. The regular ones they serve are not great, in my opinion.

Oddly enough, the beignets we had on the Wonder at Tiana's Place were really good. Everyone raved about them. They were much different than the ones at WDW and I'm not exactly sure why.

It's been a couple of years since I had them at WDW but it seems like that wouldn't work very well. If I remember correctly there was a lot of open space in the beignets so it seems like you'd get a mouthful of liquor in the first bite and plenty pouring out. It seems like you'd be better off with a cream or pudding infused with liquor stuffing them.

But maybe I'm not remembering correctly.

Fresher most likely.

It sounds like these would be messy to eat!

All this alcohol Disney is introducing lately is going to turn Main Street into Tortuga!!

It’s about time!!

But these are being served at the Port Orleans Resort...not Magic Kingdom.

Ok, I put them on my list to try when we are there in two weeks!

Completely agree. But I'm still going to give them a try!
