WDW Baked Potato?

[ChipperBandit]

Does anyone know a place anywhere at WDW (inc. Disney Springs ), quick service or sit down, that has a baked potato?

My son is a picky eater and we're trying to plan out meals as best we can for a future trip. We have had Boathouse make us an off menu potato in the past but won't be going there this time around.

I feel like the answer is no. But maybe with an upcoming Flower and Garden festival booth? I've seen some threads here on the topic, but everything seems a bit dated.

Shula's Steakhouse @ the WDW Dolphin has a baked potato on their menu

Boathouse has a baked potato listed as one of their sides on the menu now:

It looks like most of the restaurants have either gone to mashed potatoes or fries. A few have some sort of cheesy or specialty potatoes but not baked potatoes.

That's 2 more than I figured. Thanks!

A baked potato at Shula's will cost you $13!

And I thought Wendy's going up to $3.99 for a baked potato was high!

I could buy so many potatoes for that. If the room had a microwave I would just throw a five or ten pound bag of spuds in my suitcase and cook a couple before heading out each day.

I was surprised that most of the steakhouses property wide no longer have baked potatoes. That is my favorite side with a steak. I suppose they were baking more than they needed and then having to find some way of using them up. Mashed can be instant and fries can be frozen, so far less waste.

But it's a really big potato!

While the potato itself might "cheap" the power/gas for baking, people power, the timing, the additions al begin to add up, sadly for Disney $10 isn't that bad... look at the prices of everything else.

Local BBQ place does a large potato for $13, but that includes large helping of Bacon plus Brisket, Sausage or Pork. It's a meal, but still spendy. The thing is like any good BBQ place they run out of things, for Disney they really can't do that.
