Brr – I don’t know about you, but I am freezing my bottom off here in Upstate New York! It’s these cold wintry times when I long for Walt Disney World the most – the sun, the warm weather, the Resort pools – sign me up! Unfortunately, I can’t afford to spend my winters in Florida – so in the meantime, I think I will whip up some Disney Dining cold weather meals – with recipes straight from WDW!
There’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold, snowy day – so whip up this easy Tomato Bisque and serve it with crackers, or maybe a grilled cheese sandwich (yum!)
This soup is served up at the dinner buffet over at the Cape May Café in Disney’s Beach Club Resort
