Hi, everyone!
We’ve been busy spending our days at Disney World and trying to get you all the latest news on everything like the Disney Genie service, EPCOT Food and Wine Booths showing up early, new snacks, and more! And we’ve also been following all the restaurant reopenings and menu updates because that’s what we do!
So let’s get to what’s new on Disney World restaurant menus this week!
Magic Kingdom
Tortuga Tavern
Tortuga Tavern at Magic Kingdom has officially reopened, and the menu has changed quite a bit since we were last there. In the past, we’ve picked up Ropa Vieja, Rum Cake, and Turkey Legs there. But now, things are a little different. The Turkey Leg with House-Made Chips is there, but you can also get a Barbecued Slaw Dog, a Barbecued Pork Sandwich, an All-Beef Hot Dog, and a Peanut Butter, Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread, and Banana Sandwich!
Keep in mind that Tortuga Tavern is usually only open seasonally, so we’ll keep an eye on the hours and let you know what its upcoming hours are!
Disney World Made a Peanut Butter Banana Nutella Sandwich. Here’s How We Made It Even Better.
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
There are a few changes over on the menu at Tony’s Town Square, too, including some new entrees. Here’s what’s changed:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Boma
One of our favorite restaurants at Disney World, Boma, finally has a reopening date. And get this — rather than switching to family-style all-you-can-eat dining like so many other buffets at Disney World have done when reopening, Boma will be the first actual buffet to reopen at Disney World.
The breakfast buffet will feature Creamy Pap, Turkey Bobotie, Pancakes, Waffles, Deviled Eggs with Salmon, and Fresh Baked Goods. The dinner buffet will have Pork Ribs, African-spiced Strip Loin, Lamb Bobotie, and more. You can also expect a delicious rotating selection of soups, as well as salads like the Berbere Chickpea Salad.

HUH !
Prices increased ?
The selections must be of a superior quality, than the previous versions of the same meal.
How else could you justify the price increase ?
Foodies rejoice the quality just went way up !

Why does everything have to look like someone just threw-up on the plate? Not very appetizing to me.
