Welcome back to my Disney College Program journey! This time, I’m taking you to the heart of the Wild West, Frontierland, where I had the privilege of working at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe during my second program in 2016. A Taste of the Old West Pecos Bill’s is a quintessential western-style eatery, offering hearty meals for the hungry adventurers exploring Frontierland.

Here are some tips to make the most of your visit: 1. Multiple Ordering Bays : While most people head straight for the first ordering bay they see, take a moment to look around. There’s often a shorter line at another bay...
