Smores French toast? Mmmmm. I can't wait.

I definitely want to try that s’mores thing. I also love dessert so need to try that. The brisket is the only sandwich that interests me.

I am a bit surprised how many different breakfast options there are - that seems to have the most unique items. But some of the other things look good (agree about the brisket sandwich). Also glad they have tomato soup as my kids (especially my son) love that - not much better than a good grilled cheese with tomato soup!

Good to see they are offering some items that are a bit "healthier"... in addition to the all out "terrible for you but I love em' " items....

Overall I think the menu looks pretty good and its not your standard burger and hot dog. The food isn't adventurous in my opinion but its different than the other quick service options at DHS.

I agree it is not adventurous but it does put a different spin on some of the items. Looking forward to trying it out.

I really hope this is good need more Star Wars movies that move away from the original format. A heist movie set it he Star Wars universe sounds really cool. Kinda wish it was just a bunch of new characters I’m afraid recasting Han Solo is a bad idea. Hopefully Enrereich pulls it off but I’m skeptical he can do it.

It's tough as of course the want to capitalize on the characters that people know but at the same time create new stories and expand the "universe" .... I think we just have to accept it isn't Harrison Ford and move on beyond it

These characters are so protected in so many people's minds and hearts that it's almost impossible to not "ruin" them compared to what you have in your heads. Not to rehash the Last Jedi discussion - but even people that didn't like it I think if it didn't involved Luke, etc. and was more of a stand alone movie (or even, just wasn't Episode VIII of the series and featured those characters but in a stand along storyline) would have liked it for what it was

"adult beverages" too - the grown-up lemonade is a good idea. Pretty poor beer selection (though I guess not too far from the Baseline Taphouse if you want actual beer)

Alcoholic Beverages
Grown-Ups Lemonade – $9.50
Bud Light – $6.75
Blue Moon – $7.25

I don't think beer is a focus for TSL

Agreed and pleasantly surprised.

Monte Cristo? Those are awesome, but sadly probably wait and see the salads and grilled meats.

Even the pop tarts sound interesting.

Love how things like this come out, the immediate reaction here is "that is crazy! who would pay that much?!?!?!" .... and then they do really well as we always underestimate the fact people are willing to spend $ on Disney they likely wouldn't "in the real world" and I think just underestimate how many people have a lot of $ to spend

I think the price is ridiculous, but never thought it wouldn't do well!

For those 1) needing guaranteed car seats, 2) distrustful of Uber/Lyft without a Disney seal of approval, 3) not price sensitive and wanting to partake of all-things-Disney while in The World, this will be a good option.
