Breaking: Plastic Straws are Now Available By Request Only at Several Disney World Restaurants

By 51 Comments

We reported on Disney’s conservation efforts announced earlier this summer. These efforts include refillable amenities in resort rooms and the reduction of plastic shopping bags as well as the reduction of plastic straws used at the resorts and restaurants by 2019.

So far, we have seen the refillable amenities showing up across the property.

Refillable Amenities at All Star Music Resort

Refillable amenities have been spotted by the DFB team at Port Orleans French Quarter, Caribbean Beach, Boardwalk Inn, and All-Star Music resorts.

But today, the DFB team has learned that some table service dining locations are starting to put plastic straws on a “request only” status for adults.

First Look and Review! The NEW 4Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck in Disney Springs is OPEN!

Look what just rolled into Disney Springs… the 4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck!

Currently taking up residence in the Disney Springs Marketplace, the 4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck is a new venture for the 4R Restaurant Group (home to the popular 4 Rivers Smokehouses in the Orlando area).

While Food Trucks are not new to Disney Springs, the 4R Cantina is the first non-Disney owned Food Truck to be regularly based in Disney Springs.

The 4 Rivers Smokehouses are well known in the area for serving up barbecue. However, 4 Rivers founder John Rivers shared the story behind the Food Truck’s cuisine. When Disney Springs approached Rivers with the idea of a partnership, it was understood that barbecue could not be the focus since The Polite Pig — operated by James and Julie Petrakis who are also known for their presence in the Orlando food scene — already serves up barbecue in Disney Springs.

So, Rivers was inspired to learn more about barbacoa, which takes traditional barbecue and layers it with Mexican flavors. Hence, the 4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck!

You’ll find the new Food Truck just across from Ghirardelli, by Basin and World of Disney in the Marketplace. [Read more…]
