food IS a theme park
Something new has just arrived at Disney World, and it’s going to thrill fans of The Muppets!
New Muppets souvenir!
One of our favorite quick stops for a snack or a drink at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is FØØD by Swedish Chef, located right next to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. We’ve recommended that you stop by there before, but now you really need too! Right now, you can get a special novelty souvenir, and it’s only around for a limited time!
For weeks now, it’s felt like things are changing faster than ever in Disney World, but these past few days? That’s been taken to a WHOLE new level!
Entrance crowds at Hollywood Studios
For months now, we’ve known that May 26th would be a big day in the parks. Not only is it the start of Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, but Disney also set it as the opening date of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, the opening of Bluey’s Wild World, as well as the beginning of the new offerings available at The Walt Disney Studios, among MANY others. Imagine our surprise when, just in the past few days, Disney decided to open some of these new attractions EARLY, and we also got a first look sneak peek at others!
Bork bork bork! In case you don’t speak Swedish Chef, that means, “There’s a NEW Swedish Chef food truck at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we tried EVERYTHING on the menu!”
Full spread!
That’s right, FØØD by Swedish Chef officially opened on May 26th with the newly rethemed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, and we were lucky enough to snag these eats before the opening. From savory snacks to sweet treats and drinks, is this new spot worth a visit on your next trip to Hollywood Studios? Let’s find out!

We might have lost Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land, but at least the Muppets are getting their own space over on Sunset Boulevard as they prepare to take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.

But it’s not just a ride that’s getting a Muppet makeover. The former KRNR snack spot near Rock ‘n ‘Roller Coaster is also getting a makeover…and it’s going to be themed to the Swedish Chef! Well, now, we have a huge SIGN that this is really happening!
We’re getting closer and closer to the opening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Hollywood Studios, and to say we’re excited would be a MAJOR understatement.
