After the WDW 10k last month, some members of my running team met for breakfast at Trail’s End. I had never been, but I am always eager to try new restaurants while I’m at Disney. And I love getting together with my teammates, so it was a win-win for me.
Trail’s End is located at the Fort Wilderness campground. To get there, I took a bus from my resort to the Magic Kingdom and then took a boat from Magic Kingdom over to Fort Wilderness. It was simple, and since it was early, I had the entire boat to myself!
Fort Wilderness felt like a whole other world, leaving behind the bustling crowds at the parks and stepping into a peaceful, rustic area. Trail’s End is located in Pioneer Hall, just a short walk from the boat dock. It’s a buffet, and trust me – you’re going to want to arrive hungry! Luckily, I bought my post-race appetite and I was up for the task.
There’s a station with assorted muffins, danish, and delicious cinnamon rolls. There’s also the usual yogurt, oatmeal, and lots of toppings – dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate chips.
My favorite thing was the Bread Pudding with Walnut Praline Sauce. This sauce is pure magic! It would also be perfect to put on your Mickey Waffles or just about anything else.
Other favorites included the Country Benedict, the Vegetable Frittata, and the bacon (which was perfectly crispy). There were also more traditional offerings like scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, and sausage.
The decor was rustic – lots of wooden beams, hanging lanterns, and animals on the walls. The cast members were extremely friendly and helpful – the whole experience felt very homey and comfortable. The breakfast was reasonably priced and I was able to apply my AP discount, which was great.
Combining delicious food with team camaraderie made for a great morning. This was such a fun experience that I knew my family would love it. A few days later, I took them back to try it! We ended up with the same server that we had the first time, and the second time around was just as delicious as the first!
I definitely recommend breakfast at Trail’s End. Even the most picky eater would be able to find something here. And you have to try the “moonshine” – this is very similar to the juice served at Tusker House (I believe it’s called Jungle Juice there), and it is delicious! This will definitely become a tradition in my Disney dining plans!
