MAJOR Food Announcements: Updated Menus and NEW Snacks Hit Disney World!
If you’re visiting Disney World soon, you’ll get to see a LOT of new things. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster opened last month, and the updated Finding Nemo show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is now open as well! But those aren’t the only new offerings in the parks.
Main Street U.S.A.
Disney is consistently coming out with new treats, eats, and menus for all of the restaurants and snack locations around the parks. We recently took a look at some new treats coming out for Father’s Day this weekend, but now we have even MORE news for you when it comes to Disney’s dining scene. And some of these announcements are BIG.
Buckle up, because there are a LOT of changes and new items coming to Disney’s restaurants.
Salt & Straw — Disney Springs
This spot debuted a new menu of unique ice cream flavors earlier this month! It’s called the Picnic Series, and it features some interesting flavors, like Fried Chicken and Deviled Eggs.
Summer Picnic Series flavors
We’ve already tried out the new flavors, and we have to admit that Deviled Egg ice cream is not nearly as gross as it sounds! There are also some more traditional dessert flavors, like watermelon and cherry pie.
Check out our review of the Salt & Straw Picnic Series menu here.
Swirls on the Water — Disney Springs
This newer location in Disney Springs features all kinds of DOLE Whips! To celebrate the new Lightyear movie, Disney released a Buzz Lightyear Star Commander Cone, which is a purple cheesecake soft-serve adorned with chocolate wings and space sprinkles.

Swirls on the Water will also have a new DOLE Whip Float, which will have Rosa Regale Sparkling Red Wine, DOLE Whip Strawberry, and a fresh strawberry slice.

Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies — Magic Kingdom
At Magic Kingdom, head to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies to try the new Zurg Freeze, which will be available from June 17th through the end of the month.

As you can tell from the name, this treat also celebrates the upcoming Lightyear movie!
Garden Grill — EPCOT
Garden Grill recently updated their menu to include Barbecue-roasted Chicken with Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce and Southern-style Spoon Bread.

Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT also has some new menu items, starting today! There will be a Roast Beef Sandwich, which is made with chilled roast beef, chimichurri aïoli, cheddar, arugula, and red onion on a flour-topped kaiser roll served with potato chips. There’s also a plant-based option here, which is a Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwich featuring roasted red pepper, red onion, tomato, arugula, hummus, and balsamic vinaigrette on herbed focaccia.

But there will also be a NEW menu item added — the Banana Bread Pudding! We already love the bread pudding over at ‘Ohana, so we can’t wait to try out this new dish. It will feature Bahamian banana-rum syrup and coconut whipped cream with your choice of bacon, sausage, or ham.
