REVIEW: I Spent $20 on a New Grilled Cheese in Disney World, and I Have Strong Feelings About It

[Disney4me]

We love crazy fancy meals that completely blow our minds, but we are also simple people who love plastic cheese, gas station food, and anything Mickey-shaped, no matter what it is. What can we say? We’re Disney Food Blog, but that includes ALL food.

Grilled Cheese time!

We’re heading to El Mercado de Coronado at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort to try two new grilled cheese sandwiches to see if it’s worth a visit during your trip.

First up, we tried the Raspberry & Brie Grilled Cheese for $18.50. It’s served with creamy brie and sweet raspberry preserves, grilled until golden, and served with a 6oz soup; we chose the Red Pepper Gouda Bisque.

Raspberry & Brie

Before we ordered, Cast Members told us how amazing it is and how thrilled they were to have it on the menu, which is always a good sign. There was a good amount of raspberry preserves, and we wish there had been a smidge less so the brie could shine. It mostly tasted like raspberry toast with a bit of cheesiness. The bread is a multigrain with a seeded texture, which can be great for those who like a little texture. It’s a sweeter take on grilled cheese, so if you’re in the mood for hardcore savory, you’ll want to opt for another sandwich. We think Remy will love this with his fruit and cheese combinations!

A good choice!

The Red Pepper Gouda Bisque wasn’t as flavorful as a traditional tomato soup; the main flavor was red pepper, and we think it could have had a bit more seasoning. We dipped our sandwich into the soup, which helped bring out more of that creamy flavor and texture.

Soup time!

We also got the Tomato & Bacon Grilled Cheese for $19.50, with crispy bacon, tomato, cheddar, provolone, and yellow American cheese, all grilled until golden. It also comes with a soup, and we chose the classic Tomato Soup.

Tomato and Bacon

This grilled cheese was super savory, with plenty of melted cheese and an acidic tomato flavor. We loved the bacon’s meatiness too, but we wish it was a little crisper. This was a classic take on grilled cheese with a slight upgrade from the tomato and bacon, so it’s great for those who want something they know they’ll enjoy but a little more elevated.

Tomato and Bacon

The soup had a great acidic flavor with a very faint heat in the back. A bit of parmesan on top added more cheesiness, and it was well seasoned. Dipping the sandwich in the soup was a perfect combo, and anyone who loves the classics will want to go with this one.

Tomato Soup

Both grilled cheese sandwiches were pretty expensive for soup and a sandwich, but we do think it was a solid-sized sandwich that you could even share if you’re looking for a smaller option. When you’ve had enough wild Disney food and you’re looking for something comforting after a long day in the parks, this might just do the trick. We probably won’t go out of our way to visit Coronado Springs Resort, but if you’re already staying there, it is a great choice.

We’re big grilled cheese fans
