There are few things more delightful than being on a Disney vacation and starting your day with Mickey waffles!
It’s a Minnie waffle!
In Disney World, you can find them all over the place — hotel restaurants, select theme park breakfast spots, and character meals. They’re a staple of any trip! But now, there’s a NEW way to enjoy Mickey waffles at an underrated hotel restaurant. Let’s go check it out!
Rix Sports Bar & Grill at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort has long flown under the radar as a great breakfast stop in Disney World. That is, until they got semi-famous a few years ago when they added chicken-filled Mickey waffles on a stick!
Chicken Stuffed Mickey Waffle
Now, that popular breakfast option has been REMOVED from the menu in favor of a new version of Mickey waffles, and we had to stop by to check it out. Rix Sports Bar is located inside the main building at Coronado Springs, and here, you’ll enjoy a casual atmosphere whether you’re checking out a game or grabbing a quick bite.

There’s a mix of high-tops and regular tables in here, and there’s bar seating as well. The TVs play sports and news throughout the day, so this is a great spot to stop and watch a game.

So what are we here to try? Well, the breakfast menu calls this new item Chicken and Mickey Waffles, and it’s available for $20.
Breakfast menu
They’re described as Mickey churro waffles topped with crispy chicken tenders tossed in Nashville rub and hot honey maple finished with powdered sugar. There are a limited number of places in Disney World where you can find Mickey churro waffles at any given point — the most popular spot to grab them is at Crystal Palace, but they’re also available at Spyglass Grill. These waffles became famous on Disney Cruise Line as a unique breakfast offering.
Here they are!
But now, they’re covered in a bit of heat…so how do they taste? Well, first you need to know that you get both Mickey AND Minnie waffles with this plate, and they’re the exact same flavor-wise as the other churro waffles we’ve had. A little crispy on the outside with that sugary crust, but soft and fluffy inside. Sweet and cinnamony mixed together.
The waffles
The Nashville hot sauce is smothered on the chicken, but it drips down onto the plate as well, so you get some bites of heat even with the sweet waffles. It’s a stellar sweet-and-spicy combo! The chicken tenders are the crispy-crunchy ones we all know and love with juicy meat on the inside, but the addition of the sauce and churro flavor from the waffles take this dish to the next level.
Served with syrup on the side
The heat builds as you eat, but it’s a pleasant burn. Would probably be too spicy for the spice-averse, but we wouldn’t exactly call it “hot” either — more medium-level heat. Our favorite bites were those sweet waffles dragged through the spicy sauce. Disney knocked it out of the park with this one!
A bit of waffle and chicken
So if you’re staying at Coronado Springs or you’re a Mickey waffle afficionado, you definitely need to try these out. You can make reservations to dine at Rix Sports Bar & Grill, and they’re usually not too difficult to snag unless there’s a major event happening at Coronado.
