I’ve Been a Disney Fan for 20+ Years, and I’m ASTONISHED This Hotel Restaurant Isn’t More Popular

There are a ton of fantastic restaurants on Disney World property.

It’s our mission to try them all to tell you what is and isn’t worth your hard-earned money. One of our favorite spots is actually located at one of Disney World’s hotels, and we know we’re not the only ones who are shocked that this restaurant doesn’t get more love — especially because it’s at one of Disney’s most popular resorts!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is one of Disney’s most popular resorts. It’s on the Magic Kingdom Monorail loop, giving easy access to Magic Kingdom, and being part of the deluxe category resort, there are tons of exciting amenities to enjoy as well.

Gasparilla Island Grill is one of our favorite spots here for a multitude of different reasons, but namely because of the House-Made Macaroni & Cheese, which has been a favorite of ours for YEARS! It’s creamy, rich, and is perfectly cooked in our opinion.

However, there’s a new favorite of ours here that we’re extra shocked more people aren’t talking about and going to Gasparilla for, and that’s the Mickey Chocolate Choux for $6.79. This is a chocolate pâte à choux filled with chocolate Chantilly cream, and when we first saw it, we thought it would be way too rich, but we were thankfully mistaken!

It’s full of milk chocolate flavor without being too overpowering. The choux was wonderfully fluffy and had a lovely crunchiness to it that reminded us of the edges of a fresh pan of fudge brownies. In fact, our only complaint about it was that it wasn’t bigger, because we wanted to keep eating it for much longer.

So much filling goodness!

We’re so happy to see this is still on the menu, and we’re hoping it’ll stick around for a while — we hope to enjoy it every time we get to visit! With two total standouts like this, it’s really shocking that more people aren’t stopping by for a quick snack at Gasparilla Island Grill, even if they aren’t standing there. This place has some real winners on the menu and is worth checking out, especially if you are a mac and cheese stan!
