food IS a theme park
Changes are ALWAYS happening in Disney World.
So cute
We see rides close. We see new rides open. We see new snacks appear at dining spots. We also see a LOT of menu changes every single week, so let’s take a look at those changes for this past week. Warning: there are a LOT of price increases ahead!
We spend our days eating our way around Disney World — seriously, it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it!
4th of July cupcakes in Magic Kingdom
We’re always hunting down all those new foods, like two MAC ‘n CHEESES (y’all know how we feel about cheese), some new burgers, a questionable-looking drink, and more. We also keep an eye on Disney World restaurant menus to catch any new changes, and we want to keep you updated on when that happens.
Well, it’s time to talk about Disney World restaurants again (okay, so we won’t lie — it’s one of our favorite topics!).
New ‘Elemental’ floats arrived this week!
So we’ll do our best to keep you updated on all the newest treats in Disney World (as well as get you reviews of those treats). We’ll also share when we can get a great meal for LESS in Disney World. We’ll even revisit restaurants to check out new foods on the menu and get you reviews of those items. We’ll also keep you updated on all the menu CHANGES we see every week, so let’s look at this week’s updates.
It’s no surprise that things change in Disney World.
Hello, EPCOT!
The only thing predictable about Disney World is that it is always changing. We recently saw a pizza spot temporarily close and a Disney World restaurant added two NEW menu items — which we, of course, had to try. Just this week we saw bathrooms being renovated at EPCOT. And now, this popular restaurant at EPCOT is not above changes either.
Summer has arrived in Disney World, and a LOT of Disney World restaurants are changing.
Plant-based Gyro with Chips
First, a new Indiana Jones bar has popped up for a limited time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We had a chance to try some new menu items at Le Cellier in EPCOT. Raglan Road introduced a new Lunch Plates menu. But what else is going on in Disney World restaurants? Well, let’s take a look at those updates!
Things are constantly changing in Disney World, and now we’ve spotted an important update at a hugely popular restaurant you need to know about.
Come on in!
Raglan Road Irish Pub at Disney Springs is a fan favorite for its Irish eats and drinks, unique entertainment, and special events. We’ve seen a number of menu changes hit this spot in the past, but now it seems a BIG menu shift has taken place!
A LOT is changing in Disney World ALL the time, but this year has seen some HUGE changes.
Caramel Chocolate Fizz
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.
Summertime has arrived in Disney World!
Strawberry Butter Bar from Karamel Kuche in EPCOT
Minnie’s Summertime Dine started at Hollywood & Vine this week in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. New menu items are set to arrive at Disney World restaurants soon to usher in the seasonal change. There’s even a new summer Disney World ticket deal available for booking. We’re also seeing some changes on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s look at what’s happening.
The worst part about Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration being over is that many of the AMAZING 50th Anniversary snacks went away with the celebration. (Looking at you: Pressed Penny Silk Pie, and you, too, Mr. Monte Cristo)
Westward Ho
But some of our favorites still held on under new names, like the Shimmer and Glimmer Blondie in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (we were SO relieved when we saw it on the menu). Another favorite of ours also stayed on the menu after the celebration ended, so we THOUGHT it might stick around for good, but sadly, as of May 27th, that treat is GONE.
We’ve had a LOT of Disney food news to take in this week.
Jaleo
From the closing of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to the big employee move to Florida being canceled, Disney has experienced a busy week. But we’re still also visiting the parks every day and keeping an eye out for new food, as well as seeing if any restaurant menus have changed. So let’s get to those menu updates, shall we?
