They’re warm. They’re yummy. They’re picky eater-approved.
You can’t go wrong!
Yessiree, we’re talking about chicken tenders. They’re a Disney World staple for many; can you even visit Disney World without grabbing a basket of piping hot tendies? Anyway, sometimes we find ourselves missing these bad boys and we wish we could have them at home. Well, we found out that you totally CAN have them at home. As long as you know a Disney World Cast Member.
Cast Connections is basically a Cast Member-exclusive Costco that’s tucked away on Disney World property. Here, you can find all sorts of extras. Extra merchandise, extra Annual Passholder magnets, extra decorations from hotel rooms, and yes — extra food that won’t get used at the theme parks. (Plus, “damaged” things will likely end up here! It’s like a Disney TJ Maxx or HomeGoods!)
Chicken tenders
Here, you can buy gigantic bags of Disney World chicken tenders. Yes, really! If you didn’t realize that Disney’s chicken tenders were frozen and then heated, we’re sorry to inform you of this news.

So… how can YOU get yourself inside Cast Connetions and get that giant bag of tendies in your hands? Well, you can ask a Cast Member friend to get them for you the next time they visit, or if they’re feeling extra generous or social, they might even take you with them.
Chicken tenders
Yep, Cast Members can have guests at Cast Connections! Oh, and did we mention that those chicken tenders taste super yummy if you also snag some of the Mickey waffles there? You’re welcome.

Pop the chicken tenders in the air fryer for some extra yum. You’re welcome, again. (Just call us Maui.)

Frozen or not, those tenders and fries are my son’s favorite meal at WDW, and he of course had to consume some on our recent trip to DL too.
Does anyone know the brand that they use in general? I’d read somewhere that they might be Tyson but I’m really hoping to find them locally.. our son LOVES them. When we went to Disney Springs he rejected tendies from both Chicken Guy AND Cooke’s of Dublin but he gobbled down the Disney Tenders everywhere else that matched what you’re talking about here. He eats the Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips at home but they’re not quite the same… and it’s so difficult to find foods he enjoys due to texture aversions etc. I wish we lived closer! I’d definitely try to grab some of these! I got so excited when I saw the headline, but we are in the northeast!
