Beignets are a great option whether you get them inside or outside of the Disney Parks and hotels.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
We find it hard to resist the fluffy, sugary pastries, whether they’re shaped like Mickey or not! Now that it’s February, Disney World is now celebrating Black History Month with Celebrate Soulfully — a month-long celebration of Black culture and history that brings unique entertainment and delicious dishes to the parks. When Disney announced that BEIGNETS would be among this year’s food lineup in Magic Kingdom for Celebrate Soulfully, we knew where we’d be on February 1st.
At Golden Oak Outpost in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland, you can get Tiana’s Famous Beignets from now until March 1st. They’re $6.99, and are croissant-style beignets, served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of strawberry sauce.
Tiana’s Famous Beignets
These bad boys look absolutely delicious. We’re also very intrigued by the strawberry sauce. Some pairings just make sense in our minds — and this is one of them. Will they live up to the dreams we’ve been having about them? Let’s find out.
They. Look. AWESOME.
When we took a bite, the flavor and texture was reminiscent of a lightly-sweetened croissant, not a traditional beignet. However, this is NOT a bad thing!

They’re delicious, warm, flaky bites that are even MORE delicious when dipped in the strawberry sauce.
Ok, dipped in the strawberry sauce, these are incredible! The strawberry sauce alone is worth the trip! pic.twitter.com/RPNV4mU5Wu

The sauce actually reminds us a LOT of the Strawberry Soup that you used to be able to grab at 1900 Park Fare.
IT’S JUST LIKE STRAWBERRY SOUP
We’d honestly say that these beignets are worth it just for the sauce. The beignets are good on their own, but when dipped, they’re a GAME CHANGER. We’d recommend this to anyone who loves and misses Strawberry Soup as much as we do, or who loves beignets but doesn’t necessarily get offended if it’s not a traditional beignet.
YUM
On the other hand, if you strongly prefer traditional beignets, you might not like the texture of these. They are truly more of a croissant beignet, and that’s just not everyone’s cup of tea.
With the sauce
As far as value goes, we felt that we got quite a bit of food for the near $7 we spent. We’d totally go back and get them again before the month is over, and we recommend that you head to Golden Oak Outpost to get them too — while you still can!

Do they do gluten free ones there like that do in Port Orleans?
Wow. $6 for four Beignet bites.
That seems very steep considering the Beignets at Port orleans are much more substantial that 2 people could eat on and nearly the same price.
Ask yourself why couldn’t they be true beignets? They aren’t complicated to make. They are being promoted as beignets when they aren’t
Are these available as a DDP snack credit?
Seriously? They may be tasty morsels of fried dough, but Tiana would be run out of the Big Easy if she tried to pass these off as beignets. “Croissant” beignets are the slippery slope to gumbo without okra.
Beignets were brought to New Orleans by French immigrants being relocated from Arcadia. In New Orleans they have a very specific recipe that harkens back to that origin. Why can’t Disney stick to the original recipe still used in New Orleans?
