[yulilin3]

Starting August 2nd Toluca Turkey Leg Co. will become Sunshine Day Cafe and will stop selling turkey legs. Leaving only MK and Epcot the places to find the legs.
Also Fairfax Fare, will have a new items, including the Fairfax One Pound Baked Potato with tri-tip beef, brown gravy and white cheddar, and the Loaded Fairfax Potato with sour cream, cheddar and bacon.

Instead of the fork running away with the spoon the Turkey legs ran away with the Beaver tails? Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[TavieP]

WHY, GOD, WHYYYYYYYYYYY????

I don't eat turkey legs so I don't share your disappointment.

However, I love a baked potato!! So that's interesting news.

Any word on what type of menu the Sunshine Day Cafe will offer?

Thanks for sharing. I don't eat turkey legs but will be looking forward to HS adding possibly better options for QS. I've heard about the booths at Echo Lake which look & sound good but also heard they're temporary which is disappointing.

the booths at Echo Lake have been empty almost all the time, I'm surprised they are still open. There's just no shade and only a couple of high bar tables, so no real place to sit

Turkey legs aren't just food, it's an experience.

I absolutely want one of those potatoes.

That's a shame. I hoped at the least if the food was good, it might find a home in another more permanent location in the future.

My dh will be really disappointed.

I don't like the other new choices so Starring Rolls will be on the top of my list again.

The food is good, it's just the setting

WDW TURKEY LEGS "411":
1) Disney sells about 1.5 MILLION turkey legs every year!
2) That is about 7 turkey legs for every man-woman-child in Orlando.
3) Each of these bird legs weighs about 1.5 pounds for about $12 or 1-CS DDP Credit.
4) They supposedly come from 40-50 pound turkeys!
5) Nutrition, WDW
. . . about a half day's worth of a grown-man's calorie goal (1,092 calories each leg)
. . . about a day's worth of a grown-man's fat goal (54 gr each leg)
. . . about two day's worth of a grown-man's sodium goal (5,283 gr each leg)
6) Recipe
. . . take one uber-monstrous leg
. . . inject copious amounts of salt brine
. . . smoke slowly at 225º for 4 hrs.
7) Available at the below (all Turkey Legs taste the same, and from the same vendor)
. . . MK - Liberty Square at Turkey Leg Cart
. . . MK - Tomorrowland at Launching Pad
. . . EP - America Adventure at Fife and Drum Tavern
. . . AK - Flame Tree BBQ at Safari Turkey
. . . AK - Dinoland at Trilo Bites
. . . AK - Africa at Flame Tree BBQ
. . . TL - Surf Doggies
. . . BL - Avalaunch

NOTE: We really do like the taste of the turkey legs. However, we seldom finish one, so
we save the calories for later. We still get the legs when we have a hankerin'. Additionally,
they do seem to be pretty "stringy".

I wasn't even aware that they were sold at DHS

First they take away the pork shank and now the turkey leg at DHS.
