Okay, so this post is for carnivores, and carnivores only.


Let’s eat some MEAT


Now, if you love meat, there are a lot of ways to grab some meaty snacks in Disney World. You could opt for a turkey leg (and if you do, we’ll try not to judge you). Or you could grab a hamburger at one of our favorite hotel restaurants. But if you’re craving even MORE meat, we’ll just tell you now that you need to head to Disney Springs.



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

If you haven’t ever been to The Polite Pig, we’re just going to tell you that if you love smoked meats and meat-based menu items, this is THE place to visit. Well, every month, The Polite Pig has a chef’s special, and this month, the special is a Spicy Peach-Glazed Pork Shank for $26. The pork shank is slow-cooked and coated in a peach glaze with a spicy kick and served with black-eyed peas. The first thing you’re going to notice is just how HUGE this thing is. It’s a lot of meat.

Let’s talk about flavor, though. The outside has a lovely charred crustiness to it that’s spicy and sweet. Now, we will say the sweetness didn’t taste like peach, and the spiciness comes from the dry rub. However, the flavors work well together, and unlike a BBQ sauce, it’s not slathered in sauce, so it’s not so messy to eat. The pork under that crust was cooked perfectly. It was also tender and SO easy to nom on. The black-eyed peas were also good, but the star of this dish is the meat, and we’re not mad about it.


So tender


The only thing we want to stress is that it is $26 for this big hunk of meat. Is it worth it? Well, you’d have to decide for yourself, but we are considering getting it again.

We’ll keep trying new food in Disney World, so stay tuned to Magical Guides for more.

Okay, it’s HARD trying to pick which Disney World restaurants you want to eat at. Between looking at reviews, checking menus, and deciding what reservations you want to make, it can be overwhelming. However, our Guide to Disney World Dining puts all that information in one place for you so you don’t have to stress out about it so much.
