2 NEW Snack Spots, A Menu Refresh, & More Disney World Dining Updates This Week!

Can you smell that? That’s the smell of A LOT of minty treats that we just recently ate in Disney World!

Lots of green minty things this week!

And, while we’ve enjoyed eating our way through all the St. Patrick’s Day snacks in Disney World, it’s already time for the next holiday season to commence — Easter (warning: bunny butts ARE BACK)! As we wait for all of the new springtime snacks to make their way to the parks and resorts, we’ve been watching Disney World menus for any changes that might pop up, and we’ve got some BIG ones this week — let’s take a look!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Backlot Express

Backlot Express is getting a menu update — which means that NEW items will be coming to the quick-service dining spot on March 29th. Here’s what will be new:

Teriyaki Tofu Bowl
Smoked BBQ Pulled
Cuban Sandwich
Chicken Southwest Salad

Current menu

We’ll be trying all the new stuff, so be sure to check back with us for reviews!

Disney’s Old Key West Resort

Olivia’s Cafe

Both Olivia’s Cafe and the Gurgling Suitcase have switched their Conch Fritters to Shrimp Fritters because the latter is more sustainable. These are sweet cornbread fritters made with chopped shrimp and a mix of herbs and spices, all served with a honey mustard sauce on the side.

New shrimp fritters!

The shrimp fritters are $13.

Swirls on the Water

AristoCrepes has closed and a new snack spot has taken its place. That new spot is Swirls on the Water, which offers up some delicious Dole Whip treats! The menu includes a choice of Soft-Serve Swirls that changes daily, specialty offerings like Dole Whip Habanero Lime Nachos, a 50th Celebration Cone, and a Dole Whip Flight.

If you miss the AristoCrepes bubble waffles, though, don’t worry — you can still get those at the Marketplace Snacks booth.
