Lakeshore Lodge officially opens on July 1st, 2027, but an exclusive group can book a stay during the resort’s preview!
Well, we are in what could be one of the busiest Disney seasons of the year, what with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party happening, Halloween snacks arriving in the parks, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on the West Coast, and the upcoming EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in the East.

That means we’ve been hitting you with a lot of news recently, but don’t worry! We’re still thinking about food, and that means we’re still checking out Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed. So let’s take a look at this week’s Disney World restaurant menu updates.
Things are always changing in Disney World, from rides to lands to restaurants; change is pretty much the name of the game in the parks, at the hotels, and in Disney Springs.

That means you’ll also find changes happening with food and drinks in Disney World, too, because restaurants are always tweaking their menus to add and remove things or change things so that they focus on seasonal ingredients. Now, we’re going to talk about the Disney World restaurant menu changes we spotted this week. Spoiler alert: Halloween treats are starting to turn up!
Over the years, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has become one of Walt Disney World’s most beloved traditions. The event’s offerings of candy, treats, Halloween-themed characters, special entertainment, decorations, and the rare ability for an adult to wear a costume in the Magic Kingdom have become annual favorites of many guests, and you can bet those guests are already planning their next party.

However, be aware that not every Disney World hotel is created equal in 2027. Some have new perks and amenities to enjoy, while it may be wise to skip over a few others for the time being.

There are several new lands in development around the theme parks, like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters, Inc. Land, and more. Outside of the theme parks, there are also several new developments, like transportation changes and refurbishments. One of the most anticipated updates is Disney’s brand new hotel, Lakeshore Lodge, and we have a NEW look at construction.
Disney hit us with a LOT of major news this week, especially news about the upcoming holiday season. Now, we know a LOT more about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.

However, Disney World restaurants were busy changing their menus this week, too, and we’re going to take a look at every single menu update that happened during the week. So let’s get into it.

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is the newest Disney Vacation Club (DVC) hotel being built near Magic Kingdom, and it seems to be coming along quite nicely. Originally, Disney announced as Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge, this project has been a long time coming and has taken several turns over the year. However, as completion nears, we want to go over everything that’s already been confirmed for Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge and what you should expect.
A brand new hotel is coming to Disney World, and we couldn’t be more excited. Lakeshore Lodge is being built where Disney’s River Country water park once sat, finally making use of that long-abandoned space near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

We’ve been keeping an eye on construction over at the new resort, and Disney has been dropping a few details. Well, now, Disney has revealed new details about The Wetlands, the outdoor recreation area you’ll find just beyond the hotel’s lobby.

This resort always makes us appreciate the great outdoors. We went to Trail’s End Restaurant, which just added three menu items we couldn’t resist. Hop on your horses, and let’s ride!
