Whispering Canyon

I say go and enjoy. And I second WildernessDad on catching a bus to MK, then the boat to WL. Once off the boat, follow the wooden path and stay to the right of the pool. This will lead you to a set of doors into the main lodge area. Go up the ramp, bear left then right and WCC will be near the front of the Lodge on your right.

Get the all you can drink milk shake, very good.

We had a good time at Whispering Canyon a couple of years ago. The kids in our party particularly enjoyed it. I got the skillet, which was pretty doggone tasty (especially the cornbread).

As for transportation, I think it depends on what SSR building you're in. We were in the Congress Park building that's furthest from check-in. I was meeting friends at WCC and took the first park bus that came along (Epcot). It took over an hour to get there and I was horribly late for dinner. On the way back, I took the bus to DTD and was back in my room after a 20-25 minute bus ride and a five minute walk. As far as I'm concerned, the fewer transfers, the better.

This is a must for our family every trip - our kids would not let us go for a vacation without having ADRs for WCC. If you don't want all the antics, try a late lunch before 3pm, we still get the skillet but not as much noise. The antics are fun though.
To get there, we usually take the boat from MK, but if we're pressed for time, just take the WL bus from MK - only a two minute ride to the lodge from MK - be sure and enjoy the lodge while there - the lobby and gift shop are great

My thoughts on Whispering Canyon might have just changed now that I have heard about all you can drink milk shakes!

 

[WALTSAGOD]

Your kids will LOVE dinner here!!!!!!!!!!

Not everyone will experience everything, but we even got napkin hats from our server during a 1:30 lunch. DH is one in our family who loves it. And DS got the huge mason jar of sprite with pool precautions for everyone else at WCC. We have plans for Artist Point in July, but I'm hoping there's also time for WCC.

We had dinner there in January for the first time and had a great time! I knew from passing thru the lobby that it was noisy but didn't know WHY until we went. We caught onto the ketchup thing real quick and did not ask for any. A kid at the next table brought a bottle over to our table and set it down by DS and walked away. A few minutes later he told our server that DS STOLE their ketchup! OMG. Next thing ya know DS was behind bars for being a thief! That's another production!!

It is definitely a fun atmosphere. It was not our best meal ever, but it was OK. (Boma at AKL is better if you're looking for good food...but if you're looking for a fun place for the kids Whispering Canyon is great!). Wilderness Dad had a great suggestion...take the boat there from MK!

Luna99 - if you ask for ketchup your server will yell "KETCHUP" REALLY loud and everybody in the whole restaurant will bring you their bottle and you'll end up with like 20 of them. There are other antics too - but that one is very common!

That is the funniest picture ever.....The only thing that happened to us was the ketchup....and a vase for ice water.
they also had like a "pony parade" around the dining room for the kids.

I think the greatest things about this place is it changes every time, Everyone here has a different story....but similiar...I love it

See my previous picture of the guy with the ketshup on his table. This same time, it was another guys b'day. They made him take one of the small wooden horse heads broomstick and take it out to the lobby. He then had to troot around the lobby riding it and sing Happy Birthday to himself. People in the lobby were trying to figure out what was up with this guy but all of us from Whispering Canyon were cheering him on...smjj

if you are bothered by it - just tell the fs - they will not bother you.

it depends upon my mood. sometimes it is fun, othertimes hide under the table times - that is when I ask they tone it down.

never had a problem they definitely want their tips!!!

 

[spiceycat]

can someone tell me more specifically what goes on here? like with asking for ketchup? or mentioning the other parks? I think I might like to go here and not tell anyone in my family about it.. but my mom gets embarrassed easily and sometimes doesn't like a lot of attention. I'd like to know exactly what they do so I can maybe decide if it would be too much for her or not. thanks! now my dad on the other hand would probably just play along no matter what!

thanks so much!

sorry my above thread was for you - just forgot to do the quote thing then.

We just did the " Backstage Magic Tour", Whispering Canyon is now the restaurant they take you to for lunch. They brought out so much food, it was impossible to eat it all. It was a lot of fun.

 

[corpcomp]

Hide your fork and ask for another one. You wont believe what they bring you!!!!

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Oh my- My poor little five year old niece actually dropped her fork. That place is awesome- I think the food was very good too. Love the sticky wings.
