A family’s recent dining experience at the Walt Disney World Resort’s Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant has raised serious concerns about food safety standards at one of the world’s most iconic entertainment destinations. The family reported being served raw chicken nuggets and spoiled shrimp, a shocking revelation given Disney’s reputation for rigorous food safety protocols.

Dining Debacle Encircles Disney Restaurant

According to the family, their troubles began when they discovered that the chicken nuggets served to them were raw. Adding to their distress, the shrimp in their salad was allegedly spoiled. The family expressed their disappointment not only with the quality of the food but also with the potential health risks involved.

Despite the unsettling experience, the family praised the cast members for their kindness and attentiveness. The staff reportedly responded to the situation with empathy, though Disney has not issued an official comment or apology at this time. The family’s report says:

“Ate at brown derby today
If you get chicken nuggets check them
My kid got raw chicken nuggets then I got spoiled old shrimp in salad
Disney magic ✨✨✨✨
Cast members were so nice about it but now have the ick LOL”

Walt Disney World Resort is renowned for its high standards in food safety and guest satisfaction. The resort’s dining establishments typically undergo rigorous inspections and adhere to strict hygiene protocols to ensure the health and safety of their guests. This incident, therefore, comes as a significant surprise to many.

Walt Disney World Restaurants Under Close Inspection

The family’s experience underscores the importance of vigilance in food safety practices, especially in high-profile dining establishments. While the incident has cast a shadow over the family’s visit, the resort’s prompt and compassionate response from the cast members highlights the ongoing commitment to guest care and satisfaction.

This incident comes when many eyes have been turned to Disney regarding the incident earlier this year when a doctor eating at Walt Disney World Resort died after a meal on the property. Disney defends that they are not liable for the death as it did not happen at a Disney-run restaurant, but the press has been negative nonetheless.
