Where to Find Mickey-Shaped Beignets at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort

Mickey-shaped beignets are one of the most popular snacks at Walt Disney World. That said, if you want to indulge in this very specific treat, you might have to go a little out of the way. They are only sold at one location. Of course, you can also pick up an order of Tiana’s Famous Beignets at Magic Kingdom, but from our experience, they are nowhere near as comparable to the hot and fresh Mickey-shaped version. Let’s take a look at where you can find them and whether or not they’re worth it!

This article has been updated since it was originally published.

To find Mickey-shaped beignets, you’ll have to visit Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort. There are many ways you can do this, but the simplest explanation is to take a bus from any theme park to Port Orleans French Quarter, or take a boat or bus from Disney Springs. Upon arrival, you’ll enter the resort’s lobby. This is where you’ll find Scat Cat’s Club Cafe, which is the home of Mickey-shaped beignets at Disney World.

Scat Cats Club Cafe is open daily from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. However, those hours may vary depending on the time of year you visit. You can check the exact hours here on Disney’s site or the My Disney Experience app. The cafe will be to the immediate left when you enter the lobby from the bus stop.

The cafe has an open table area that faces the lobby. If you run into a line extending from the area, it’s probably for beignets. It’s not uncommon to encounter a line of 20 or so people ahead of you during busier times of the day, especially at breakfast. You might notice a separate lounge called Scat Cat’s Club Lounge. This location is unique from the cafe and is only open in the evenings. They often offer live music and a separate menu with appetizers and beverage service.

Here is a photo of the menu. At the time of this update, prices have slightly changed. As far as dipping sauces for the beignets, they also may vary. This location has specialty beignets from time to time. For example, we’ve seen pink beignets for Valentine’s Day and purple ones for Halloween.

Here are the regular menu options:

• 3 Mickey-shaped Beignets
• 6 Mickey-shaped Beignets
• Specialty Beignets (Vary)
• Mickey-shaped Beignet Sundae
• Baton Rouge Beignets

Dipping sauces for the regular beignets include the following flavors:

• Salted Caramel
• Strawberry
• Chicory Chocolate Ganache

You get a choice of one sauce per order. However, you can order additional sauces for a minimal price. Here is a photo of our order.

We enjoyed this order of beignets for breakfast one morning during our stay, and they were delicious. If you’ve never tried beignets, expect a light yeast roll similar to a donut’s texture without the glaze. They are then dusted with powdered sugar. Warning, you probably won’t escape the meal without getting a little powdered sugar on you. It comes with the territory. For me, the chocolate sauce with the beignets was reminiscent of having biscuits with chocolate gravy, a favorite pastime.

Pro-tip: if the weather is pleasant, you might enjoy sitting at one of the outdoor tables and chairs around the resort’s lobby area. Often, these small moments are what help solidify our decision to return to Walt Disney World time and time again. If you visited the resort before, I’m sure you understand the sentiment.

Final Thoughts
