Pillowy, sugar-dusted and light as air – there’s nothing quite like a delicious, piping hot plate of beignets! If you’ve been to the Disneyland® Resort, you may already know that there are numerous spots to enjoy this confectionery and culinary delight. So why not make a day (or two) of it and go on a beignet crawl to try them all? We’ve hand-picked the perfect places to try this sweet experience, whether you plan to visit multiple dining locations in a day or spread the experience out over a weekend! Plus, you can make the experience extra sweet by redeeming Disney Rewards Dollars toward your beignets and other select park purchases.1
Start with the Disneyland® Resort Park Locations:
Tiana’s Palace:
You can get delicious Southern fare at Tiana’s Palace, and what Cajun and Creole feast would be complete without decadent beignets? Start your crawl off right with a meal and some classic beignets drizzled with honey – or just skip straight to dessert, we won’t judge!
Guests can also choose from Lemon Ice Box Pie Filling and Strawberry Cream Filling options for the beignets. The Lemon Ice Box Pie beignets are peanut/tree nut allergy-friendly and are topped with a sweet lemon glaze (Please note: Guests must speak to a cast member about their allergy-friendly request). The Strawberry Pie variety beignets have strawberry cream filling and are topped with strawberry glaze. Make your stop at Tiana’s Palace even easier with mobile ordering through the Disneyland app! A quick tap on your phone lets you order ahead, so you can pick up your treats with ease and get back to your crawl.
Mint Julep Bar:
You’re just getting started on this beignet crawl and yet you’re already ready for more? That’s the right attitude! Venture over to the garden patio of Tiana’s Palace and stop by the Mint Julep Bar! You can sip on a refreshing, non-alcoholic mint julep that’s perfect to wet your whistle on a warm day. It’s made even better paired with some fresh Mickey-shaped beignets, in the classic variation or in a special seasonal flavor. Soft drinks are also served here, so make sure to grab a cool beverage before heading off to the next stop on your crawl.
Plus, you can make your stop at the Mint Julep Bar even more convenient when you use the mobile ordering feature — all you need is your phone and the Disneyland mobile app. Mobile ordering is a simple, contactless way for Guests to plan ahead and enjoy food and beverages from select dining locations throughout the day.
Travel to the Downtown Disney® District next:
Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio
If all this beignet crawling has you working up an appetite for something savory, you can grab lunch or dinner at Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio. It’s also the next stop on your crawl, so head on over either way! If you’re ready to try another beignet, do not miss the Jazz Kitchen’s Bananas Foster Glazed Beignets. This signature dish has banana rum icing, cinnamon-sugar dust, caramel drizzle and vanilla bean crème anglaise. You get four per order, so you can share (or not)!
Beignets Expressed
Don’t have time to stop for a long meal or even to sit down? Beignets Expressed is where you can find some delicious beignet offerings on the go! Try the Strawberry Shortcake (strawberry icing dusted with strawberry sugar and vanilla bean crème anglaise) and Original New Orleans (classic style, served hot and dusted with powdered sugar) beignets if you can.
Finish your crawl with Disneyland® Resort Hotel specialties:
Palm Breeze Bar
If you’re ready to keep this crawl going, you need to check out beignets exclusive to Disneyland® Resort hotels. You don’t have to be a Guest staying at the Disneyland® Hotel to visit the Palm Breeze Bar. This spot offers guests a relaxing atmosphere and serves up classic hot beignets served with chocolate, passionfruit or mixed berries. If this delectable beignet option gets you extra hungry (or thirsty) you can order up some appetizers, a pizza or a chilled beverage to enjoy.
Great Maple Modern American Eatery
Make a final stop at the Pixar Place Hotel to visit the Great Maple Modern American Eatery! This stylish eatery offers up breakfast, lunch and dinner menus as well as its own beignet specialty: powdered sugar beignets are offered with house-made lemon curd on the side. What a delectable finish to a fine beignet crawl!
It’s all been quite a crawl – but we hope the reward of unforgettable beignets makes your trek worth the effort!
