Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
While we’re no stranger to the All-You-Care-to-Enjoy Skillet at Whispering Canyon, you’ll now find twists on the tradition with some new varieties (alongside the traditional)!
Lunch Skillet
The Signature Lunch Skillet plates up maple-chipotle BBQ slow-smoked pork ribs, barbecued pulled pork, and citrus-herb chicken.

ALL of the skillets come with “a different assortment of sides that may include coleslaw, sautéed green beans, buttered corn, oven-roasted carrots, charred peppers, BBQ cauliflower, Yukon mashed potatoes, or roasted potatoes.” Fresh-baked cornbread with honey butter complete each skillet.

At this time, on the Disney World website, it does appear that a selection of regular (non-skillet) entrees are also available for lunch and dinner.
And for those curious about the signature, rootin’-tootin’ atmosphere that Whispering Canyon Café is known for, Disney assures: “And while you chow down on these signature skillets, our rowdy canyon townsfolk are here to serve you, and their boisterous goings-on aren’t going anywhere anytime soon”!

I’m so happy to see a menu change. My husband does not eat pork and so he never felt like the skillets were worth it and the standard menu is frankly uninspiring. This is our DVC home and we wanted to actually be able to eat at our own resort and this helps.
I am looking for an old Whispering Canyon dinner skillet menu to compare. I LOVE the old skillet and have some weird dietary restrictions. I know that I could have everything from the old one. What exactly is new? Thanks!
Angela, the traditional platter is still on the menu, too, so if that one has worked for you in the past, it should still be fine. You’ll definitely want to speak to a chef to be absolutely sure, though.
Hi! Do you know if we would be able to order the “dinner” (IE: Traditional or Land and Sea) skillets at lunch time? I just see the one on the lunch menu.
with the new menu of skillets if there are 6 of us, could we all order a different skillet (we are on the dining plan) or do we have to all order the same one?
Alicia, everyone can order the skillet they want!
