3 Menu Revamps and a Dole Whip Taco — See ALL the May Disney World Menu Changes
Wow — is it just us or did May just fly by? And it’s officially summer at Disney World — how did that even happen?
Watermelon Dole Whip IN a Watermelon
Of course, we’re ready for it (save for maybe the Florida heat and humidity), and we’re looking forward to all the great summer foods we’ll be eating over the next few months. May saw some pretty interesting snacks, though, including a secret menu Watermelon Dole Whipception snack, A Donut Burger, and Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! And we also saw some menu updates at Disney World restaurants, so we’re going to get to those right now!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Fairfax Fare
Fairfax Fare has reopened! Although this food spot was previously known for Tex-Mex and Southwest flavors, its menu got a complete overhaul. You can now find loaded hot dogs at this location!

Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie
One of our favorite snacks has returned — oh happy day! It’s the Roulé aux Fromage — formerly known as the Roule Lard et Fromage at Les Halles. It looks a little different, and we noticed it had significantly less bacon on it than before. WHA?
We were missing some bacon before
However, after seeing our review, Disney made a few changes, and a newer version of the snack appeared with MORE bacon.
Now with more bacon!
WIN! So, Disney, don’t forget — more bacon is always better.
