djsamuel 322 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just had breakfast at Trails End this morning. The brunch is now all week and the Ala carte lunch is now discontinued. The fresh cut meat will only be weekends. They had chicken and meatloaf as well as the full breakfast offerings. Same price as breakfast was. It was actually very jice, but I will miss that lunch menu. Avatab.... Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for reporting this- that is a big change. So, the price for weekdays is less than weekends? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care for the pork belly, so that's not a big loss for me. With everything else there is to eat, I'll gladly give up the ham to save a couple bucks. Do you know if the buffet goes until 2 pm on weekdays now? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'm actually glad. This will extend our time to get breakfast at Trails End :) We are NOT early risers and sometimes getting there before they swapped over was a challenge.... djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I found out about this last week I was not to happy. We don't eat buffet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I loved the chicken and waffles. There were several very good things on that menu. But when I dined there we were the only ones in the place. I think TE at lunchtime will always be a challenge. People are either off at parks or eating at their campsite.

You are right about lunchtime being a challenge. From what I've seen, the brunch buffet hasn't driven much traffic to Trail's End from 11 am to 2 pm. Which is why I'm surprised that they are expanding the days from weekends. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 We left at 11:30 and there were more people coming in than for the normal lunch. The servers seemed to.like the idea so far. Perhaps as people realize they can take their time for breakfast it will catch on more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I was there, which was closer to when the new brunch menu and times started-I saw people arrive for lunch and leave because they didn't want the buffet. And, of course, the official Disney site (as of today, October 17) has made no mention of any change, and still states that brunch is only on weekends, and has a link to the weekday lunch menu: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/cabins-at-fort-wilderness-resort/trails-end-restaurant/menus/lunch/ If there are people arriving at 11:30, I wonder how many of them knew about the change and how?

keith_h 420 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 When we visit WDW our meal time shift regardless of where we decide to eat. We still eat breakfast around the same time as we are early risers. Lunch usually shifts more towards 3 PM and dinner 9-10 PM so for us it doesn't matter what the menu is as we will rarely be eating over the traditional lunch period.

PghBob 31 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Have also noted the changes at TE. We especially miss the basket of apples. I guess they would rather sell them for a buck a piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What happened to good old fashioned waffles, good old fashioned fries with REAL salt on them (not seasoning, not sea salt.... SALT!!)
