Trail's End

Updated 6/16/22
For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the  Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide.

Away from the hustle and bustle of Walt Disney World theme parks is a family style dining experience nestled on 750 wooded acres. This pioneer-themed eatery has a cozy and rustic feel with plenty of unique decorations throughout the restaurant. Located in Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, this restaurant specializes in country style cuisine with a comfortable atmosphere for all Walt Disney World guests.

You can start your day off with a hearty breakfast served family-style with a selection that includes smoked brisket and eggs, Mickey Waffles, cheesy potato casserole, berry-granola yogurt parfaits, and plenty of pastries! Dinner is also served family-style and is full of country flavor! Guests can start out with skillet cornbread with honey butter. The meal is served on a smokehouse skillet that includes pecan-smoked brisket, smoked chicken, pulled pork, roasted potatoes, green beans, and buttered corn on the cob. There are plenty of cocktails to go along with your meal (available at an additional cost). Be sure to save room for dessert! There is a mason jar dessert trio consisting of banana pudding, chocolate mousse, and candied apple pie to finish the meal.

There are a few ways to get to Trail’s End, but you need to make sure you build in travel time for this dining destination. If you are using resort transportation, be sure to give yourself plenty of time - we recommend at least an hour. There is no direct route between your resort and Fort Wilderness. The quickest way will be to get yourself to Magic Kingdom via Disney bus or monorail and take the ferry or a bus over to Fort Wilderness. If you take the bus, you’ll still need to get on the internal transportation bus over to Pioneer Hall. If you have your own vehicle, it will certainly be faster, but we would recommend giving yourself about half an hour. You can park at the entrance to Fort Wilderness and then take the internal bus to Pioneer Hall. Rideshare or taxi is also an option.

Breakfast is offered daily from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Dinner is offered daily from 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Trail’s End is family-friendly and theme park attire is always welcomed. The restaurant participates in the Disney Dining Plan and requires 1 table-service credit. (As a reminder, Disney currently is not offering Dining Plans). If you are paying out of pocket, you can expect to spend $20 per person for breakfast and $30 per person for dinner.

My family has dined at Trail’s End a few times over the years. It is a delicious and filling dining experience after a full day of visiting Disney World. We enjoy the opportunity to dine at a resort restaurant with delicious food, unique atmosphere, and a friendly waitstaff. We also treasure the opportunity to step away from the theme park restaurants and reflect on a fun day at the parks!

If you are looking for some old fashioned down-home cookin’ to satisfy your hunger with a menu full of country-style favorites, take a boat ride on Bay Lake and dine at Trail’s End!

Gaston's Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a must for me at Christmas and this is one of my favorite recipes for look-alike Gaston’s Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls! I found it on Inside the Magic , so all recipe credit belongs to them, but I have copied it below with some of my commentary and photos of my step by step process. Homemade cinnamon rolls are always going to be a bit time consuming, but these only have to proof for 40 minutes total so it’s really not bad at all! First things first, here are the materials you’re going to need: Mixer (one with a dough hook will make your life much much easier) and bowl Rubber scrapers Rolling pin 2-3 saucepans Microwave safe bowls An area big enough to roll them out 2 metal sheet pans with edges Measuring cups Measuring spoons Medium sized bowl for filling Liquid measuring cup The nice thing about the recipe is it uses pretty basic ingredients that you likely already have at your house. I went to Aldi and bought nearly everything just to see and it was about $20. A...
