It’s been a great week in Disney World — for FOOD! That’s because the EPCOT Festival of the Arts has started, and we made our way around the festival trying out EVERYTHING.
We also grabbed the new Pistachio drink at Starbucks and noticed that Spice Road Table in EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion is now accepting advance dining reservations. We also kept an eye out for menu changes at Disney World restaurants, so let’s take a look at those!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Tusker House Restaurant
There have been some updates to the wine menu at Tusker House:
- ADDED: Indaba Chardonnay, Western Cape for $42 per bottle and $11 per glass
- ADDED: Painted Wolf Chenin Blanc, South Africa for $42 per bottle and $11 per glass
These are the only changes we saw here!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Gasparilla Island Grill
A dessert has been added to the menu at Gasparilla Island Grill. Interestingly enough, it’s listed as “Assorted Fountain Beverage,” which may be a typo, but the dessert is a Vanilla Tart Shell filled with Coconut Custard and topped with Whipped Cream and Toasted Coconut for $5.49.
It’s even currently listed that way on Mobile Order! It certainly doesn’t sound like a beverage… .
