No more turkey legs at DHS

[JonUK]

They're taking an iconic Disney snack out of a Disney Park (a park that is already getting a lot of criticism for offering less and less).

They're adding... hot dogs. A most unimaginative offering with arguably a worse nutritional value. And adding baked potatoes (same issue).

I was hoping Disney would step it up and come up with more creative, tastier and more healthful food, something more worldly that would step away from everyday junk food. Oh well, at least we have newcomers Tiffins and the Jungle Skipper Canteen to take us in that direction.

I'm super excited about the baked potatoes. Turkey legs may have a cult following but IMO they're pretty awful.

I know that a lot of people enjoy them... but...I for one would like to see them go in all the parks, They just gross me out... I don't know why... just something about them.....

The thing is I like turkey and make it for dinner once a month not a whole turkey normally thighs or a whole breast maybe on the grill, or in the roasting pan with some potatoes, carrots and onions. I also use ground turkey for a couple of recipes.

Sorry, must have missed that notice. I will revise my files.

I personally won't be sad to see the turkey legs go. I am disappointed about MORE HOTDOGS! I love hot dogs but come on. Think of something more fun and different.

Nothing worse than watching somebody gnaw on a greasy Turkey leg in 95 degree heat---

We used to grab a couple and take them back to the villa and make instant mashed potatoes, gravy and a veg and have dinner!

They should get rid of them in Frontierland. Those big birds are so aggressive, they try to eat them and people feed the meat to them since they're so big and hard to finish!

My guess is they're just trying to genericize the menus more. Hot dogs are cheaper and easier to make too.

I just saw the post on this.

DH is not going to be happy. They frequently are his meal.

We found turkey legs at AK yesterday. They are available at the Yak & Yeti counter service.

We also found them by asking around at Blizard Beach: You can get turkey legs at Lottawatta Lodge but they do not appear on the menus.
