Overall Rating: 4/4 Mickeys
Whispering Canyon is without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in Disney World. The Wild-Western theme makes this restaurant enjoyable any time of day whether you have allergies or not, and the kindness and creativity of the chefs tops it all off. If you ever head to Disney World, make sure to keep this in the back of your mind.

Chef Tom
Whispering Canyon is a western-themed and loud sit-down restaurant that is fun for everyone. My family and I have enjoyed breakfast there for multiple years, and today was our first time back. When we requested for a chef, Chef Tom came out. My parents and I recognized him quickly due to the fact that last year, he would always come out with Chef Philippe (who was amazing) since he was a training chef. He said that he remembered me as well. He also stated that that Chef Philippe was now working at the Yacht and Beach Club and that he had taken over his position. When it came time to order, I ordered the same thing I've ordered for 3 years - chocolate chip pancakes with bacon. But not just any pancakes with bacon. The pancakes were made in a dedicated skillet with the Namaste Waffle & Pancake Mix as well as some canola oil and water with natural syrup put on top by me. Chef Tom cut Enjoy Life Chocolate Bars into pieces and used them as chocolate chips. The bacon was just, well, bacon. Most people would say that Namaste pancakes are kind of bland and not flavorful, and most people would be true. But adding the chocolate and the syrup makes these pancakes special because it gives the pancakes a "sweet" taste. Chef Tom is super nice and smart. He is always checking in on me, answering my questions, and asking me if there's anything else I need. I am very thankful for Chef Tom, because he gave me the best breakfasts and perhaps experiences in all of Disney World. This breakfast easily deserves the best praise for the above-and-beyond involvement of the chef. Thanks, Chef Tom!

You may go to Arizona to see the most beautiful canyons in the world, but Whispering Canyon is where I go to get the best pancakes! Today, the awesome Chef Tom came outside as soon as we sat down - he had clearly been waiting for us. His dedication to me and other customers makes him one of the best chefs in the business. Today, I ordered the same thing as last time: Namaste pancakes made on a dedicated skillet with chopped up Enjoy Life chocolate as chocolate chips and bacon from the back on the side. However, I also ordered something new. I was reading through a notebook full of entries of my adventures in Florida from our first trip in 2015 and I read that I had a chocolate muffin at Whispering Canyon! I was excited and thankful that I wrote it down because it ended up giving me an extra treat. Thanks, 10-year-old Ramsey! This muffin is made with the Namaste cake mix in a dedicated oven, so check out the Foods and Mixes page to see if it is safe for you. The meal, yet again, was delicious. Pancakes and beignets are currently tied for the most tasty breakfasts. Go check it out yourself!
The Wilderness Lodge may be extremely beautiful, but this is a sight for sore eyes.
This entire meal is AMAZING. Chocolate is my favorite food.
