It’s the end of an ERA.
Okay, we know Disney World’s 50th anniversary has come and gone (although the decorations have been taking their own sweet time coming down). But, one 50th anniversary snack was a DFB favorite, and we were thrilled to still be able to order it after all the festivities had ended. Unfortunately, that won’t last forever — we recently got word that this beloved treat would be leaving the menu SOON.
No, we’re not talking about the Pastrami Spring Roll (although we are watching that one closely). Today, we’re here to give you the sad, sad news that the Wendell’s Bear Claw’s days are numbered.
We were in Magic Kingdom recently when we noticed that this delicious treat from Westward Ho Refreshments was no longer listed on the menu in the My Disney Experience app. Concerned, we hustled over there to see for ourselves — and were happy to find out that they were, in fact, still selling them. But, a Cast Member confirmed that the treat will be retiring soon.
She mentioned that if it is no longer on the online menu, fans of the snack should head to Westward Ho ASAP. They will likely remove it from the menu altogether in the coming days.
HURRY to Westward Ho in Magic Kingdom to get Wendell’s Bear Claw! A cast member let us know that this VERY popular treat will be leaving the menu real soon!
Ok, this one is a real BUMMER. 😭 pic.twitter.com/ZuMzrJv6XM

Like us, she was sad to hear the news and said that guests had really liked this treat. Hopefully, we will get something delicious in its place. In the meantime, you can catch us getting out last Bear Claws in while we can.
Is this the beginning of the end for some of our favorite 50th anniversary-era snacks? We’ll keep an eye out for any further changes, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
