I wonder if the to-go fried chicken will still be available

to me trails end was the best breakfast bargain anywhere in the whole area, shame it is going away, liked to eat there and take the boat to MK.

How could Bob Chapek do such a thing?

I figured something was up when the buffet never came back.

We just ate there earlier this month. It was very enjoyable, but not busy at all, especially considering the value (taking Disney prices into account).

it's main problem is unlike almost every other food place on property is it is so hard to get to unless you are camping.

If they could do an elevated quick serve with an improved tavern I can be down with this. Kinda similar to to Geyser Point. This should also include the bay lake boat service retuning so people have other TSR options within reach.

I’ve never been here but I mourn the loss of any buffet.

I, too, identify as an American.

That only affects breakfast though. At any other time it’s an easy boat ride from MK.

Oh no!! We love Trails End, it’s been apart of our Disney trips for years. If it happens it will be “another one bites the dust”. So sac

Unfortunately it hasn’t been a buffet since before COVID.

Trails End will be missed by my family we would go there every year! The food was good and it was the inexpensive. Also it was the best secret on Disney property. As far as it was a pain to go to, to me it was worth it. Again sorry to see it go. Another one bites the dust!!!

This is a shame.

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants at WDW. The Davy Crockett memorabilia is absolutely incredible. It’s really like taking a trip back in time, to the 70s or the 1830s. Awesome stuff, much of it was used as props during filming.

 

[SaucyBoy]

Sad to see. This was without a doubt the best restaurant on property. Hopefully the new quick service has the same quality, which is highly unlikely.

Disappointing, but not surprising. The campground needs better quick service offerings than it is had all these years, and, as others have said, Trail's End is difficult to get to if you aren't staying at Fort Wilderness, so it's a logical change. But I always enjoyed going there for the atmosphere, the unpretentious comfort food, and the price.

But only from MK (and Contemporary when they are running the Bay Lake route). From anywhere else on property, it's at least two bus rides (one to the outpost and then the internal bus). And for those driving, it's still a bus ride from outpost.
