Pollo Campero was a mixed bag. I thought the food was OK, but portion size for the price was an issue.

never was a fan of pollo Campero as a replacement for mcd's not saying mcd's was a good fit, but it was a good place for big groups to go that wanted/needed to be served quickly when you are on limited time and dont want to spend alot of money

Isn't World of Disney supposed to be expanding somewhere?

However, it would have to be a large expansion to build around the back of LEGO

a bigger world of disney will be great

:cry: I'm really going to miss BabyCakes NYC. Those are seriously the BEST cupcakes I've ever had, especially the French Toast cupcake. I go to BabyCakes each visit to Downtown Disney over getting my free chocolate at Ghirardelli. Seriously folks, those cupcakes are that good, and when I found out what they didn't have in them, I was blown away.

I really hope they return when Disney Springs is completed.

I believe I've seen babycakes cupcakes at other resort food courts. Art of Animation comes to mind - can anyone confirm this? There is hope for those of you cannot/choose not to eat gluten!

And I'm glad World of Disney is expanding. Honestly - I haven't been in that store in a few years because its so difficult to maneuver through that store. I'll buy my stuff at Mouse Gears until then!

I sort of liked the chicken :) it was way better than KFC and its not a chain that is everywhere, usually only in very populated cities .

I went there last summer and the food was ridiculously priced. What they need is a pollo tropical where I can get real chicken fajitias and salas for $7 - that good is amazing. I am not too thrilled about disney springs - the concept looks like a outlet mall and will cheapen the marketplace value

World of Disney was on my 1st day, mid day and last day itinerary. But honestly, the exact same stuff I waste time going there for I can get at the main theme park stores using my discount. World of disney sells bigger mens sizes though

Yes they are at resorts and they will continue to be available.

I can understand bashing on huge corporations but it was my understanding BabyCakes was a small operation owned by a local baker. You just sound like a jerk.

Geez, I was just making a joke about the fact that the one cupcake I tried from BabyCakes didn't meet my expectations. Actually, it had a good flavor, but the texture was too dry for my liking.

And I wasn't trying to, in any way, disparage people with dietary restrictions. I am sure that for those people this will be a sad loss.

You know how passionate people can be :rolleyes:. Frankly, I thought the very same thing about my first cupcake there, but when we went back (first thing in the morning), they were totally different. I think our first time the cupcakes were old :mad:

Speaking of old. Fancy designer Cupcakes are a fad anyway. Cake>cupcake 100% of the time. :) flame suit at the ready!
