It’s the last week of 2023, and we’re looking back over the week to see what’s changed.

The ganache on this thing is SO good

Yes, this is generally a slow time of year for Disney World, but this week alone, we already tried our first 2024 snack, spotted a Crumbl cookie dupe in EPCOT, and met Santa Duffy. We’ve seen some Disney World restaurant menus change this week, too, so let’s take a look at those.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Under Desserts, the Brûléed Champagne Sabayon has been removed from the menu.
