Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Disney World has just made some drastic changes to its lunch and dinner menus!
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Disney World
And while the offerings at this counter-service Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge restaurant haven’t changed very much, (more on this in a sec!), how you order your Fried Endorian Tip-Yip has!
That’s because Disney has removed the Star Wars-themed language from Docking Bay 7’s lunch and dinner menus! Here’s a before photo of the selections that have been available since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened on August 29th of this year.
Docking Bay 7’s Previous Dinner Menu
As you can see, each entrée has a fun Star Wars moniker, so instead of asking for the Smoked Pork Ribs, you’d tell the Cast Member, “Smoked Kaadu Ribs, please!”

Maybe that was too much fantasy for some folks (or too difficult for many people to pronounce!) because as of this morning, all of the Star Wars terminology is no longer on the menu! Is it just us, or does this make for one very standard-looking menu in a very out-of-the-ordinary dining spot? I mean, are we supposed to be in a galaxy far, far away, or aren’t we?

The change was made, per a Cast Member at Docking Bay 7, to ease confusion for many guests. While we sorta agree that Beef Pot Roast might sound more appealing to the masses, if you’re in the middle of Batuu, noshing on a Braised Shaak Roast felt much more in the spirit of it all. We’re gonna miss the Star Wars whimsy in those names!

Good news though for you folks who enjoyed Disney World’s previous version of Docking Bay 7’s menu (with all the Star Wars names!) As of right now, Docking Bay 7’s breakfast menu STILL HAS all the Star Wars terms, like the Bright Suns Breakfast Platter!

As for those minor menu tweaks we mentioned to you earlier, the Fried Chicken at Disney World’s Docking Bay 7 now comes with your choice of Vegetable Mashed Potatoes with Herb Gravy or Mac and Cheese with Roasted Vegetables!

And the Shimp & Noodle Salad that used to only have veggies NOW comes with papaya and cashews! We also spotted a new vegetarian kids menu item — Impossible Marinara and Pasta!

It is a shame.. It was so much fun and different. I am glad I saw it at the beginning.
What a bummer!!!! I’m still ordering the Star Wars names next month.
Well they blew it. No more “bright suns” or “til the spire” no need to look for a “refresher” I was all in, but no more. Disney promised a unique immersive experience which they hadn’t fully delivered. Now they’re diluting the experience only six weeks in.. So disappointing and frankly embarrassing for Disney.
I saw this online shortly after attending last year’s (2018) Festival and LOVED the idea. I actual have uses for the trays at home, so I ordered a dozen from Amazon and ordered four of the stickers. I applied the stickers and secured and covered them with clear packing tape. I also wrote our last name (a very uncommon one) on the underside of the trays. My son gave me one of his back pack shopping bags from Uniqlo. I put the trays in it, along with four drive-in style sandwich baskets and reusable straws. All I need is some reusable plastic cutlery and a roll of paper towel and I’ll be set for anything! I keep the bag on the back set floor and often use the trays and baskets when we have occasion to eat in the car.
Aww, I’m a little sad but I guess it’s probably easier for some international guests, and we do have a lot of those on this coast.
It is exceedingly disappointing to see Disney have to continually reduce itself to the lowest common denominator AND ONLY to the lowest common denominator. Star Wars land was supposed to be different. But I guess if Imagineering tries to do something legitimately creative, instead of just throwing Luke Skywalker’s name on everything, the public just doesn’t get it.
Good point, Jules!
