- MPmelissa p2 days ago5.0Be prepared for things being tossed/thrown your way and being yelled at 😂 If you enjoy sass and sarcasm this is THE SPOT for you. Now fair warning on the 45$ skillet dinners - they are delicious (all the sides were so very good 💯% would buy again) but you are going to need a huge appetite to order more of the ayce bonus of the meal. (Only Togo box is allowed if you DO NOT order more of any of your ayce) our server Katie/Kate (sorry if I miss spelled it the picture was blurry) was hilarious and so very endearing in the most sassy way. Super sweet and pro tip don't ask for ketchup 😜 by all means do participate in the pony ride (not just for kids) Get the milkshake and enjoy the entire experience 😉
- AMAmanda Major4 days ago5.0Whispering Canyon Cafe, located in Disney’s Wiseness Canyon, practically reeks of the Old West. But it’s the Disney version- sanitized, botulism and dirt free, and fun! Let’s start here: this restaurant is food with a show. Your wait staff will mess with you- throwing straws, grabbing your phone, teasing you LOUDLY- all in the name of fun-filled dinner theater. It’s all a joke! Ask for Katsup! Ask for a LITTLE more Coke. Be in on it, and look around to see the faces of those who don’t get it. Bless their hearts. Second, the atmosphere is top notch. It’s appears like you’re dining in a log cabin- inside a massive lodge no less. Third, the food. Breakfast has breakfast foods, but you save money ($20 for adults) by eating when it’s not lunch or dinner. Same atmosphere, different food. Their BBQ - oh my goodness. Hand me more corn bread! They have all you care to enjoy skillets for all three meals- Google the menus for specifics- but the food is all good. Come hungry, eat a lot, and you can skip the next meal. Like a 2-fer-1. Walk around when you’re finished. The Wilderness Lodge is such a beautiful property, and there’s a lot of history to see if you take the time to look. Kids have such a good time here. Your whole family will enjoy it!

- KJKimberly JensenOct 27, 20255.0Always one of our favorites -- especially after a red eye with no sleep. The antics and camaraderie are sure to entertain, and the food is delicious too! If you are expecting a quiet and subdued breakfast experience, then Whispering Canyon Cafe is NOT for you. If you want an excellent breakfast with the service quality and unique dining experience that only Disney can offer, then Whispering Canyon Cafe will be your new breakfast spot.
- EAEND ADVENTURESOct 24, 20255.0We drove to this resort in in order to make our dinner reservation, we got there early and got to explore the hotel. They called our name for our reservation however we were distracted and then when it was or turn to sit they were making fun of us. It was all in good fun!! we had a good laugh. The servers were all yelling out and joking around. We got a huge pile of straws thrown on the table and about 25 bottles of ketchup. It was all in good fun and something we will never forget. The food so plentiful and delicious.
