News Chicken Guy! coming to Disney Springs later this summer

[WhatJaneSays]

I can't believe they missed the chance to call this "Disney, Drive-Ins, and Dives"

If I was in central Florida and challenged to spend as much as possible on a 3 piece fried chicken dinner (3 pieces chicken, mashed potatoes, and a biscuit. No green beans). Disney Springs is where I'd go.

Who sells that at DS?

Homecomin'. For a reasonable $28.

But the difference is we aren't IN the park, we are in an outlet mall. Downtown Disney used to be fun, now it's just stores and restaurants. Disney keeps building there so they can charge high prices. And before you say, "don't go there".....I don't. I refuse to pay those ridiculous prices.

.

I’m confused. The Downtown Disney I went to several times was also stores and restaurants.

 

[Mickey5150]

It might look prettier, but it's basically just a high end outlet mall without the cheap prices.

I never understand why people call Disney Springs an outlet mall. It's a regular mall, there are no outlet stores, so calling it an outlet mall is so incredibly wrong.

 

[Mickey5150]

The packaging looks suspiciously like Chick Fil A. They have all the colors in the world to choose from and they choose red and white. Interesting.

Chick Fil A

Lol, considering Chick Fil A stole those colors from KFC I guess it's alright.

 

[martymcflyy85]

Hopefully it tastes as good as Chick Fil A.

Will be interesting to see if it makes its way to DL DTD. Raising Canes is becoming very popular out here...very similar idea.

It’s not an outlet mall, just a regular mall. Everything is full price.
And it’s always been shops and restaurants and bars and clubs. They just got rid of the night clubs, the only fun thing they got rid of is DisneyQuest, but that was on life support for 5 years anyway. I really want more fun stuff added like a comedy club or something but there is still a bowling alley and cinema. And comparing prices to the rest of WDW is Okay as it is still at WDW, same as CityWalk is part of the Universal Orlando resort.

There is scientific research that shows red is a color that has a positive impact on consumer activity (somehow). Any number of retailers use red in their branding.

Not to mention that real bargains or outlet pricing are very few and far between at most "outlet malls" these days.

As to the topic, more chicken doused in pickles? I'll pass.

When I get lunch in Tallahassee, it tends to cost about that much.

Amen!!
I always think "I must be the only one on these boards that live in a high cost of living area"
For the record, a cheesesteak and fries in Philly will cost you AT Least 10-12 bucks.
Dinner out at a mid grade restaurant will cost 50 bucks pp.
Any popular tourist destination the food will be higher.
Please tell me where you folks vacation where every thing is sooo cheap?

I know, right! I just cancelled our trip to Ocean City, Maryland in favor of a much cheaper trip to Disney, staying club level at Boardwalk Inn.

Absolutely. In fact I've gotten better deals and better quality merchandise when the regular store runs a sale, which nowadays is almost all the time.
I've been to the Orlando "outlet" now first, I live in a state where clothing is not taxed so right off the bat the "outlets" are losing steam.
Next the outlets now stock stuff made for the outlets and I can atleast immediately tell the difference. paper thin material, faded colors. I'll pass.

 

[Horizons '83]

Hopefully it tastes as good as Chick Fil A.

And hopefully without the MSG that Chick-fil-a has in its chicken.

 

[jaklgreen]

I can to go Earl of Sandwich...and get a sandwich for $8.00...and everything else is a la carte and adds up to over $13 for a sandwich, bag of chips and a drink. That is not cheap.

That is how much food costs where I live. Panera charges $9 for a sandwich so do many other places. And I don't live in a huge city. Food is expensive everywhere now.

 

[jaklgreen]

I miss Pollo Campero. I think their fried chicken was really good and decently priced.

 

[larryz]

You won’t know that until we see prices.

Even then, you will probably never know what the DS premium on Chik-Fil-A would have been anyway.

Airport Chick-Fil-A's prices are remarkably close to their non-airport counterparts.

Chick-Fil-A is coming to Toronto next year. I’ll bet our prices are way higher than what you pay. Plus 13% HST.
