New Kids Menu at Garden Grill

It's the Picky Eaters vs. the Healthy Horde.

Well, maybe not that drastic.  But there are some interesting changes afoot at the Garden Grill in Epcot.

Disney has a pretty standard kids menu and chicken nuggets and fries take center stage in most places.  I mean, come on; chicken nuggets are something even the pickiest eater will chow down on, right?  That way, Mom and Dad can feast on the regular menu that Garden Grill offers (which rocks, by the way).

But now, the Garden Grill has changed things up a bit.  The standard kids menu is refreshed and includes the following:
* Oven Roasted Chicken Drumstick
* Sweet Potato Sticks
* Baked Macaroni & Cheese
* Broccoli
* Mickey "Mousse" Cookies and Cream

Now it seems that there are some elements that are upset that chicken nuggets have been swapped for a drumstick. 

Really?  My kids have always loved drumsticks!  Are we the odd ones? 

And while I can see where a kid would turn up his nose at orange French fries, seriously have you tasted sweet potato fries?  Yumatrocious!

Broccoli...I get this one.  A lot of adults don't like broccoli.  But the beauty of the Garden Grill is its all family-style so you don't have to take it if you don't want to.

And the Mickey Mousse...it's like good old fashioned worms-and-dirt, baby.  My teens would rather eat that then the fruit cobbler dessert any day of the week.

By the way, the kids can still eat off the adult offerings at the Garden Grill:
* Roasted Turkey Breast
*Sustainable Fresh Fish of the Day
*Beef Strip Loin
* Farmer's Market Salad - seriously, this is eat-the-whole-bowl yummy
* Bread and Maple Butter
* Vegies, potatoes, dressing, dessert!

So what are your thoughts on the new kids offerings from the Garden Grill?

Hey, if they bring me some of that stuff, I know I'll be eating some of it.
