Hello from Disney World! WHAT a month, right?
We’ve been trying to keep up with all the latest 50th-anniversary news, while also tracking all the fun snacks that keep popping up all over the parks, resorts, and at Disney Springs. And last month saw some exciting restaurant reopening news and menus, as well as saw the return of some favorite snacks!
Let’s take a look at alllllllll of the menu changes that were announced or made in June.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Tusker House Restaurant
Tusker House has officially reopened! And we got a peek at the family-style menu right before the big day. Breakfast costs $42 per adult and $27 per child.
Guests have choices that include a Pastries Basket with Safari Bread, Multigrain Croissants, and Cornbread, all served with Whipped Butter, Nutella, and Strawberry Preserves. There is also Fresh Fruit with Honey Yogurt Sauce.
There’s a Breakfast Platter which includes Potatoes, Scrambled Eggs, Mickey and Simba-Shaped Waffles, Bacon, Sausage, and Durban Chicken-Egg Curry with Jasmine Rice.
Lunch and dinner is also a family-style meal priced at $55 per adult and $42 per child.
Starters include House-Made Breads (served with Hummus, and Coriander, and Mango Chutney), as well as African-inspired salads (featuring Kachumbari and Arcadian Green Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing).
Entrees include Moroccan Spiced Beef, Spit-Roasted Herb Chicken, Cape Malay Green Curry Shrimp, and Berber Marinated Pork. A variety of sides are also available.
Desserts will feature Animal-inspired Mini Desserts. Drinks including an assortment of mocktails and cocktails, along with beers, hard seltzers, ciders, etc.

Eight Spoon Cafe
We noticed that hours were posted for Eight Spoon Cafe, so we showed up and got to enjoy its reopening, too! We enjoyed some of that wonderful Baked Macaroni and Cheese along with the Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Pulled Pork. We’re happy that both are still on the menu.
There’s something new on the menu, too — a Pulled Pork – Jelly Donut Sandwich. We’ve had this before back in 2019 with Animal Kingdom’s Tasting Sampler at The Smiling Crocodile. It’s a Pulled Pork-stuffed Jelly Donut with Slaw for $6.99. We tried it again, and you know what? We kinda’ liked it!

Magic Kingdom
Spring Roll Cart
Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls are back on the menu at the Spring Roll Cart in Adventureland! They’re served with a side of Buttermilk Ranch dressing.
Two of these babies are $9.50. These are loaded with chicken and have a great buffalo flavor.

Golden Oak Outpost
After reopening, Golden Oak Outpost was closed and its space was used as a relaxation station.

Disney World hasn’t added any hours for this location yet, but here are the menu changes:
- Chicken Breast Nuggets replaced with Chicken Strips
- Chili Cheese Waffle Fries are now just Chili Cheese Fries
- REMOVED: Loaded Onion Rings, Loaded Waffle Fries, and Chili Cheese Onion Rings

Do you know if the friendship bread us coming back to Ohana as well? Also have they said anything about the skewered meats? I understand but bringing the actual skewers around but the meats could still be cooked the same and brought to the table in a dish. They changes make me really sad.
DFB Sarah says
Laura, the pineapple bread is returning! Here’s the morning menu. The beef on the dinner menu is described as “Woodfired” so hopefully that means the grills.
