\"A Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a favorite resort of mine. It shouldn’t be. I’m not a very outdoorsy kinda gal, but something about this resort just really speaks to me.\u00a0 I love the decor, the homey feel, the restaurants, everything. It is in my top 3 of favorite Deluxe Resorts.\u00a0 Whispering Canyon Cafe is one of the table service restaurants that can be found at this resort. (The other table service location is Artist Point.) \"Whispering Whispering Canyon Cafe is more or less a rootin’, tootin’, gallopin’ good time.\u00a0 It’s just good, old fashioned fun for all, no matter what age.\u00a0 This is not a place I would go for a romantic meal, (it’s kinda loud) but if you’ve got the family together, then I wouldn’t ever hesitate to make a visit. The restaurant is themed much like the rest of the resort. It reminds me of Lincoln Logs, but I think the official name of the design choice is arts and crafts design.\u00a0 The restaurant has touches of cowboys and Native Americans.\u00a0 It’s very heavily decorated with woods, and greens, and reds. When you arrive, you will likely have to wait a little bit.\u00a0 The good news is, there’s a great place for your kids to play while you’re waiting. \"Whispering Once you get seated, the Cast Members then get to have fun with you.\u00a0 You see, they’ll joke with you, throw your straws at you, bring you LARGE drinks if you order them (the size of a very large mason jar), the kids (or adults who are like kids) can participate in the pony races (I have before), and yes, they will even have the guys up to perform “I’m a Little Teapot.”\u00a0 (One time, my husband got in trouble for texting at the table, so the Cast Member took him and put him in timeout.\u00a0 Honestly one of the BEST dining experiences I’ve ever had at Disney anywhere.\u00a0 Hysterical!) \"I'm The most common thing you’ll hear when dining here is the beckon for ketchup.\u00a0 If you happen to need it, the call will be put forth (“We need ketchup”) and bottles upon bottles will be brought to your table.\u00a0 When the next table calls for it, it’s your job to take your bottles over to the next table.\u00a0 I told you…this is not your average restaurant.\u00a0 But it is a lot of fun! Now that we’ve gotten to the fun stuff, let’s get to the eats! Whispering Canyon Cafe offers up breakfast, lunch, and dinner.\u00a0 They are famous for their all you care to eat skillets (which are available at both breakfast and dinner.) \u00a0\u00a0 I’ve never dined here for breakfast, but can imagine how incredible a skillet filled with eggs, bacon, waffles, biscuits, potatoes, and more would be. I have dined on the Family Platter for dinner.\u00a0 Here, you get to choose from three different types of meat like Kansas City-style Smoked Pork Ribs, Barbecue Pulled Pork, Roasted Chicken, Hand-carved Oak-roasted Beef Strip Loin and more.\u00a0 You will then be supplied with four different sides, which include Seasonal Farm Fresh Vegetables, Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes, Cowboy-style Baked Beans, Corn on the Cob.\u00a0 The veggies that I had were green beans, but they do change.\u00a0 I really liked the mashed potatoes and the corn, but could leave the Baked Beans.\u00a0 I really much prefer a sweet baked bean and these were more of the tomatoey variety.\u00a0 Not my favorite by a long shot. With your meal, you brought a salad with an apple vinaigrette dressing.\u00a0 (I don’t like salad a lot, but holy cow, was this good!\u00a0 That dressing is just phenomenal!) They also bring out a basket of cornbread.\u00a0 Now, I’m\u00a0 a sucker for cornbread and this version was incredible.\u00a0 It was not too sweet, but moist. So delicious. Honestly, I think I could have just eaten this and been happy.\u00a0 (Not very balanced, but happy.) \"Whispering Now, on my last trip, I decided to try something a little different.\u00a0 I wasn’t super hungry, so the Platter was certainly not the way to go.\u00a0 I decided to try the Citrus-glazed Rainbow Trout served on a bed of Seasonal Greens Salad, Potatoes, Roasted Mushrooms, and Grape Tomatoes.\u00a0 Again, I really enjoyed the salad.\u00a0 It was perfect.\u00a0 And the potatoes were great too.\u00a0 I personally could have left the fish though.\u00a0 To me, it didn’t really have much flavor.\u00a0 It was moist, but just tasted like plain fish.\u00a0 Nothing about it wowed me. \"Citrus Of course, for dessert (which I was too full to eat by this time), they offer a variety of choices.\u00a0 But perhaps their most popular is the All You Can Drink Milkshake. Here is a look at the restaurant’s full menu:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/whispering-canyon-cafe-menu\/<\/a> Overall, Whispering Canyon Cafe is a fun restaurant to head to.\u00a0 It’s a great family experience, where everyone can get in on the entertainment.\u00a0 And remember…be careful when asking for ketchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
