Mickey Beignets

[noahdove]

I know I read somewhere that beignets are served someplace other than the French Quarter, however for the life of me
I can't find the place. Anyone help me?? Thank you in advance.

You can purchase them in the MK in Adventureland, not too far from Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

I will say our experience was extremely underwhelming. In the past we had purchased them at POFQ and also New Orleans Square in DL. Both of those places they were made fresh and were absolutely delicious. In comparison, the ones in the MK seemed to be made elsewhere and were warmed up to be served.

We would not choose to purchase them in the MK again.

What have other people’s experiences been?

Yes, you can get beignets in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way for them. There are a few key differences from the ones at French Quarter:

1. They aren’t Mickey-shaped
2. The quality just isn’t there — ours were hard, lukewarm, and didn’t taste fresh
3. They come drizzled with honey, which is a very different vibe

The ones at POFQ are always hot, soft, and delicious — and let’s be honest, Mickey-shaped makes everything better! In my experience, the Adventureland version felt more like a quick pre-made snack than a true beignet.

As a New Orleanian, I would recommend the POFQ beignets for a more authentic experience.

Thank you! I have had them in New Orleans so I don't want to be disappointed.

Scat Cat at POFQ has the Mickey beignets

They also serve beignets at Chef Mickeys, or atleast they did last March. I can’t remember if they were Mickey shaped though. I ate way too many of them as they were delicious. Not that you can just get them, and it’s clearly not worth the buffet price just to eat them, but just pointing it out.

The “beignets” at the MK remind me more of sopapillas than a beignets. Definitely not with it, IMO

In line with the other comments: IMHO, the beignets in MK are gross. I ordered, expecting something close to hot/warm, fluffy, and delicious.

Expectation versus reality: instead, received something at or about room temperature, rubbery as though old, and not satisfying.

MK beignets are lousy ….POFQ are awesome … that’s the post

Les Halles in EPCOT also has a beignet on the menu. I haven't tried it so I can't say how it compares to the ones at POFQ.

Golden Oak Outpost, in Magic Kingdom.

The Port Orleans French Quarter ones are the only ones I'd consider New-Orleans-style (lived in New Orleans for 4 years for college). Stick to those if you want that type - and fresh. The MK park ones at Golden Outpost didn't taste nearly as fresh, or as light, or as warm...they were a once-and-done for me. The ones in Epcot's France Pavilion are nicely made and taste fresh, but they're French-style beignets, which are essentially donuts. If you like donuts, they're good ones, but they're not really a New Orleans style beignet. There was one more place that has had them - but I don't think they're currently on the menu - they seem to be occasional or seasonal - House of Blues, both in the restaurant and at their Smokehouse window. These are made more in the New Orleans style, deep fried, smaller, hot and fresh - but the dough had a slightly different taste - sort of a cross between croissant and beignet...it was fresh, hot, and tasted good though - so I'd probably put them second to French Quarter's version.
