Let’s talk about breakfast. Now, for some, it’s the most important part of the day, and if you’re visiting Disney World, you’ll definitely want something to fuel you up for full days in the parks. Now, there are a TON of options for breakfast in Disney World, including character dining experiences, but if you’re staying at your hotel, you might just want to grab something there.
Peanut Butter Crunch Pancakes
Well, for those staying at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, two new breakfast foods just arrived, so we made our way over to the hotel to try them…you know…for science, or breakfast science, if you will.
First, we headed over to Rix Sports Bar & Grill to try the new Peanut Butter Crunch Pancakes for $20. This is three granola crunch buttermilk pancakes layered with bananas and candied walnuts, topped with creamy peanut butter sauce and served with choice of applewood bacon or kielbasa sausage. And, yes, that’s pricey for some pancakes. First off, we really wanted more peanut butter flavor. They WERE crunchy with the granola and the walnuts, so at least they lived up to that part of the name.
We were also surprised by the whipped cream because it tasted high quality. It was dense and sweet, and gave the pancakes a more decadent taste. The bananas were soft and added sweetness, as well. You know those crazy topped pancakes at IHOP? The quality of these pancakes was about on par with that, so the $20 price tag feels a bit steep.
They’re good pancakes
We also made our way over to Barcelona Lounge to try the new Mickey Churro Cinnamon Roll topped with icing for $7.99. For a standard Disney cinnamon roll, we’d say this was good, but it’s not Gaston’s Tavern good. This cinnamon roll is very dense, so it’s shareable, plus it’s VERY sweet. We thought it might be super dry, and it wasn’t, but it still could have used more icing on top.
It’s shaped like Mickey
This one is super messy to eat, too. Pieces of icing and cinnamon sugar were just flying everywhere when we tried to dive into it. It’s something you might want to get if you’re staying at Coronado Springs and want something sweet, but we don’t think it’s worth a trip to the hotel if you’re not staying there.
