AuburnJen 777 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 http://www.chipandco.com/roaring-fork-serving-breakfast-morning-soft-opening-273722/ Quote We have good news for guests staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Roaring Fork, the resort’s quick service option, has been closed for refurbishment since February. We have discovered that it was serving up breakfast this morning ahead of schedule! Disney’s site says it is still closed for refurbishment and the original date that was given for the re-opening was July 17. But we have photos that say different! Until Disney gives the official word on this, it should be assumed that this is a soft opening and can change without notice. A big thank you to Chip and Co reader Phillip Halfacre for sharing his pictures! Located on the ground floor of the main lodge guests can find grab-and-go or buffet options. Drink stations, beer and wine are also available. Continental and hot breakfast served in the morning and gourmet sandwiches, grill items and pizza later in the day. Guests are given a number stand to place at their table. When your order is ready, a cast member will bring the food directly to your table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Delivering the food to your table is a huge improvement. It's better now that our kids are getting older, but juggling a bunch of kids and a couple of plastic trays full of food and drinks is tough.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 The usual bloggers have already descended on Roaring Forks, and the reviews are trickling out. As per usual, GDF's boyfriend, Josh, cleared his busy calendar and rushed to the job. His very thorough review is already posted on his site: http://www.easywdw.com/easy/blog/review-roaring-fork-at-disneys-wilderness-lodge-2017-reimagination/ Sorting through the barrage of adds and artsy photos, I think his point is that he likes it. Also, I think he says that the Wilderness Salad is still available. So, Blake doesn't have to fight anyone. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The photo posted of the menu in the report on Josh's site does not show any waffles for the adults: But, the official Disney site has been updated, and it shows Mickey waffles (but no price) on the adult menu: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/wilderness-lodge-resort/roaring-fork/menus/ TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Well that's good Disney is showing it. If not we will be buying some kids meals. We do have a kid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kadancer 82 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Does one have to have a kid to buy a kid's meal? I do it frequently - built in portion control, plus some of the meals are too hefty for a hot summer day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I order kids meals most of the time, because like you stated it's too hot to eat a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Now that it is fully open, my wife and I had lunch at Roaring Forks on Saturday. The new setup works really well, although there is definitely some confusion related where to order your food. We ordered at the cashier, who said you could order either at the cashier or the counter, but cashier is easier. In any case, we had the flatbread with goat cheese, caramelized onions, sausage and pepperoni. It was outstanding; easily on par with flatbreads you would expect from a table service restaurant. At $10.95 it wasn't a bad deal at all. Tri-Circle-D and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know that it's still a good place after the updates. TCD djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I expect between this and Geyser Point, we'll be finding ourselves on a boat to the Lodge quite a bit this next trip. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've left MK and walked to Contemporary and eaten at that QS just outside of Chef Mickeys a couple of times. Better food, better prices, and not nearly as crowded. If you want a varied menu, tasty food, large portions, and great prices, I would highly recommend the French Quarter Food Court. It's too far to go during a park visit, but for dinner it's worth the trip. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
