Great place for a meal that's really fun. It's a nice break from the cookie-cutter character meals around Disney World. At Whispering Canyon Cafe, be ready for shenanigans and a good old time. Our waitress Sam was lively and kept us laughing with different gags that started with throwing a dozen straws at us after she brought the drinks and culminated with putting our 6 year old in "jail" for not cleaning his plate. The food was good but what we liked most was how entertaining the meal and the whole staff was. We made friends with the party at the next table that was celebrating a birthday and having a great time themselves. My tip if you eat here is to make sure you get a spoon, and ask for ketchup whether you want some or not. Just be ready for a good time!

As expected lots of places at Disney are pricey, but this one makes it worth it. You wouldn't come here for a small quick quiet breakfast, but if you are hungry and want to experience something very different, you have to come, especially if you are staying at the wilderness Lodge.
The servers all make it a great experience and the food is actually really good. They don't have a side of the cornbread on the menu, but the server will bring it for you if you ask, and you should .. it was worth it.
Also make sure to ask for ketchup.
I ordered a diet Coke and you can see from the picture, they aren't stingy with their cups.. or straws... The server said it's cause they are paper so he didn't want them :p
Generally a really a very fun experience and the food was excellent. If i go back I'm going with friends as the place was more about the experience for me.
A fun restaurant for meat-lovers, with a fantastic option for vegans.
“All you care to eat” with a variety of options. We ordered one each of the four options and EVERYTHING was so good. The vegan meal had so many meat alternatives, including their own cornbread and butter. It was probably one of the best vegan restaurant meals I’ve had - that wasn’t just a salad or plate of veggies.
Donna was a fantastic server and so nice. The atmosphere is really fun here, I’d say especially for older kids.
It's located in Great Wilderness Lodge. You could serve me burnt toast at this resort and I would love it, the atmosphere is that great. The BBQ is actually tasty and well-cooked. Not overly greasy. The cornbread is freaking amazing.
The Land & Sea, Cedar plank Salmon, Plant based- pan fired red quinoa cakes, Corn bread with cream butter ... the food we ordered as listed was top notch and lip smacking delicious.
We were served a generous portion of corn bread and butter first, followed by our order. The salmon in The land & Sea + Cedar plank Salmon was 🤤 the mushroom, sweet potato and jackfruit, green beans in both non vegetarian and vegetarian skillet options were perfectly juicy and well cooked.
The portions here are massive and better shared with family & friends making Whispering canyon experience all the more fun. The staff is peppy and makes sure you are comfortable and make the right choice before ordering.
Do ask for ketchup 😉
So I was wandering around Disney property, doing some monorail bar hopping, and I decided to start my day with breakfast/brunch at the Whispering Canyon! Getting to the resort on the boat was a nice ride that I had never done before, actually, and then winding through the forest to get to the cafe was fun, too.
So we get there, get seated, and get to the easy task of browsing the menu. The only correct choice of the AYCE Signature Skillets, one of each, was given to the server, and while I waited for them to arrive, I indulged on the sweetest sweet tea I have ever encountered. Take that as a tip, or a warning.
Here are the Skillets:
The Heritage (House-made Buttermilk-Cheddar Biscuits and Sausage Gravy with Scrambled Eggs, Country Potatoes, Hickory-smoked Bacon, Pork Sausage Links, Mickey-shaped Waffles). And..
The Carnivore (House-made Cornbread with Honey Butter, Maple-Chipotle Barbecued Slow-smoked Pork Ribs, Oak-smoked Beef Brisket, Barbecued Pulled Pork, Citrus-Herb Chicken, Country Potatoes, Buttered Corn, Charred Carrots).
You get one plate with all of that stuff, and then you can re-order any amount of any of the components until you burst.
Here are some highlights:
Don't worry about the Biscuit; focus on that amazing Cornbread instead.
Add some pepper to that Gravy.
The Potatoes are absolutely stellar.
Ask for more waffles.
Ribs, ribs, ribs, very good ribs.
The Brisket was an abomination to brisket.
The Chicken was surprisingly good!
Overall, this experience was five stars. The food was good, the service was amazing, and the view into the lobby was really cool, too. Come here. And ask for ketchup. Trust me.
This is one of my favourite places to eat. I come from halfway around the world, and when I visit this restaurant has to be on my list of places to eat. The food is great and my family had such a great time. Don't think I have seen my kids laugh so much in their lives.
Went for breakfast with a few friends loved the food! Loved the service! Love the Mamosa Flight!!
Loved watching everyone else ask for the ketchup. The only thing I didn't love is the musty smell.
Wendi (aka Hickory) was excellent at breakfast! She is so much fun and on the ball as well. The coffee was the best I've had at any Disney Resort so far.
What a great experience. The food was great and plentyful. Took my wife there to celebrate her birthday. Our waitress "Moonshine".was incredible and very helpful to make that evening special. Great place to bring your kids for a fun time.
