Port Orleans & The Missing Beignets

[Disney dad92]

We decided to take the boat from Disney Springs over to Port Orleans French Quarter. If you haven't done this, I highly recommend it—it’s so peaceful and easily one of the most scenic ways to travel around WDW. Our goal? Those famous Mickey Beignets. Sadly, it was a bit of a wasted trip on the snack front because they were completely sold out by the time we arrived! Heartbroken, but we spent some time wandering the grounds anyway. It’s such a stunning resort that you can’t stay sad for long.

So sorry you missed those great beignets. You should at least get a look at one.... That MIGHT be the Boozy Beignet....maybe. But even the sober variety are amazing.

 

[DWillowBay]

Sorry. Double post.

They sell out?

Sold out?! I didn't know that can happen! I'm sorry...especially if you took the boat there to get them specifcially.

Boat is always my favorite transportation when available. Even from TTC to MK, we always take the ferryboat.

I didn’t know they could sell out, barring running out of the supplies to make them. I assumed they were made fresh as they were ordered. Wouldn’t they get stale just sitting around? It’s like the difference in buying a fresh Krispy Kreme vs the ones that have been sitting in the grocery store a few hours. . .

It really depends. My husband and I will take the boat in the morning and when park closes, because monorails are pretty busy and you might not even get on the first one. Even if you do, it's pretty crowded. Boat there are plenty of space and fresh air. I also love the view of MK as we are leaving the dock. Midday leaving, we'll take the monorail.

I thought the exact same thing.
Very odd - I wonder if this happens often

Curious, what time did you go? They make them throughout the whole day, so I was surprised to see this.

Did they not have any other type, or was it they no longer were making the limited edition ones that you wanted?

They just didn't have any special ones. My partner wanted to get the Valentine Days ones. They said that they were still doing it. Even a Valentine's Day is gone. They said they were still doing them until a certain date but when we got there hey, stop doing them
