Disney's beignets, especially the Mickey-shaped ones, are almost as popular as their churros and Dole whip. The fluffy, sugary fried dough has long been a staple in the entertainment giant's theme parks, and they're giving it a creative tribute in their newest item: A BEIGNET CHEESEBURGER where the pastries serve as the buns.

Located at the Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort in Disney World, this mashup joins together the sweet, sugary beignet with classic burger ingredients. To help bridge the two, a bacon jam that intertwines both of those flavors together graces the burger alongside American cheese, bacon, pickled onions, housemade pickles, and BBQ Bayou Sauce.
The actual beignets are bigger than the standard Mickey ones you'd find in the park, and while they're not shaped like the iconic mouse, they are massive while still retaining their crunch and sweetness. Folks who have tried it already on Instagram noted that the burger is messy, but in a delicious kind of way.
If you're interested in tracking this new burger down, note that it comes with steak fries (which are reportedly top-notch at Sassagoula) and slaw, and costs $14.49. Disney World representatives stated that the burger is an "ongoing offering," so it figures to be on the menu for a while.
