P&J’s Takeout at Fort Wilderness Cabins & Campgrounds is a convenient spot to grab a quick bite! Known for delicious cupcakes and American classics, P&J’s is a popular spot for people staying at the resort (and TBH, since this resort is kind of a world of its own, there’s a chance you’ve never heard of it if you haven’t stayed here!).
P & J’s Southern Takeout
We usually check this spot out for a new snack, cupcake, or fancy specialty coffee, but we realized it had been a while since we’ve had a full meal here! So, we stopped by to check it out and see if it’s as delicious as we remember!
Disney has had a LOT of construction lately! From TRON: Lightcycle Run to the Monorail Station at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the last year has seen a bunch of new construction and renovations.
