A LOT is changing in Disney World ALL the time, but this year has seen some HUGE changes.
For starters, a brand new restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Even bigger than that, though, Disney World finally announced the return of the Disney Dining Plan in 2024. However, every week, Disney World restaurants update their menus, and we do our best to keep track of all of those changes — so here’s what happened this week.
Magic Kingdom
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe
The Grilled Chicken Sandwich at Cosmic Ray’s has had a description change from “Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Citrus-Soy Mayonnaise and Mango-Cucumber Slaw on Brioche Bun served with French Fries” to “Grilled Chicken with Bacon, Cheddar Spread, Crispy Onions, and Coca-Cola Cherry- Barbecue Sauce on a Brioche Bun Served with French Fries.”
The price also increased from $12.59 to $12.79.
