Hey, howdy, hey, partner!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are glad to see you here and planning for your upcoming trip.
Kristyn, I'm an advanced planner just like you and am always on the lookout for new restaurants at the Walt Disney World Resort. When I first read on the
Disney Parks Blog that the Roundup Rodeo BBQ was coming to
Toy Story Land I was so excited... I mean, Toy Story and barbecue? What could be better?
Unfortunately there is not currently any official information on when this restaurant will be opening or when advanced dining reservations will be accepted. But, like you, I'm on the edge of my seat! For now, my best recommendation is to keep your eyes on the Disney Parks Blog for updates.
In the meantime, if you're looking for some barbecue around the Walt Disney World Resort, I'll share some of my favorite spots.
Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge serves up some All-You-Care-To-Enjoy skillets that are unbeatable! Two Quick-Service locations that are a great bet for barbecue can be found at two different parks.
Flame Tree Barbecue at Disney's Animal Kingdom is a family favorite and the brand new
Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue at EPCOT is next on my list of restaurants to try.
Finally, while I don't yet have a date for the Roundup Rodeo BBQ, you can always shrink down to the size of a toy and swing by
Woody's Lunch Box at Disney's Hollywood Studios for the BBQ Brisket Melt.
Kristyn, all this talk of food has me making my own list of restaurants for my next Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I hope while you are there, you are able to get in some delicious meals and memories that Buzz would say are out of this world. Please come back and see us with any other questions you might have.
To Infinity... and Beyond!
Lauren
