Well, it’s a sad day at the Magic Kingdom for fans of Casey Corner’s beloved footlong hot dogs. This afternoon, we were craving one of those mighty foot long hot dogs and made our way to Main Street U.S.A. As we got closer to the register, we noticed something was off. Everyone walking by us had regular sized hot dogs.
As we looked at the menu, our hearts broke to find no more footlong offerings. They’re not even available in the monthly specialty Hot Diggity Dog. So be warned, that massive hot dog from the photo is not what you’ll be receiving.
As tears welled up in my eyes, the Cast Members comforted me and said not all was lost. If you make your way to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland, you’ll still be able to find a foot long hot dog available. I breathed a huge sigh of relief, and headed to Tomorrowland to investigate.
The foot long hot dog is available as a chili cheese dog, or a macaroni and cheese dog. I guess we’ll survive, but it’s still a bit of a shock and we’re going to need an adjustment period.
Thankfully, our other go-to snack from Casey’s Corner, the corn dog nuggets have been untouched. Let’s just keep it that way.
Well I guess we will not be going back there now. First they took away the old cartoons and now the footlong. Pretty soon we will just start leaving the park to dine.
Considering the availability of the tables and the crowds nearby, a footlong is hard to eat standing up, especially in a crowd. At least at the Starlight Cafe there is air conditioning and more tables. I am more comfortable at the Cafe anyway.
I’m going to guess It’s because their ‘famous’ foot-long’s aren’t as popular anymore.
