We have eaten a lot of things at Disney Springs over the years. The Monte Cristo at Raglan Road before it closed. Every seasonal offering Gideon’s Bakehouse has ever produced. More than one açai bowl from GoJuice on a summer afternoon when the heat was genuinely unbearable and a smoothie was the only sensible decision. So when we tell you the food trucks at Exposition Park are closing for good, we are telling you that as people who will actually miss them.
One of them is already gone. The Cilantro Urban Eatery truck was quietly removed from the West Side earlier this week. GoJuice and 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa are still operating at Exposition Park for now, but all three trucks are reportedly closing permanently by mid-June 2026. Disney has not made any official announcement. No farewell post. No formal timeline. They are just going.
And honestly? That is very on brand for how Disney handles these things.
What You Are About to Lose
Let’s talk about what these trucks actually were, because the coverage tends to undersell them.
4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa was the one guests sought out specifically. Mexican-inspired, fast, and genuinely good. The Taco Cone became one of those Disney Springs items that people mention unprompted when you ask them about the area, which is a higher bar than it sounds. The menu evolved over the years too, with beef birria showing up and giving the truck staying power with guests who had been coming to Disney Springs long enough to remember multiple versions of the West Side.
Cilantro Urban Eatery was doing something different with Latin American flavors, Cuban sandwiches, arepas, tostadas, and ropa vieja in a part of Disney Springs that did not have much else in that lane. It was not trying to be a destination. It was trying to be useful. It succeeded.
GoJuice was the one we are going to miss most personally. Smoothies and açai bowls at a food truck outside are not the most exciting sentence you will read about Disney food. But when you have been walking around in Florida summer heat for three hours and you need something cold and light and immediately available, GoJuice was the answer. There is no direct replacement for that specific role on the West Side right now.
All three trucks are being replaced with additional seating. That is the plan.

Here is the honest answer. The West Side gets genuinely crowded during evenings and weekends, and finding somewhere to sit with food you already have is harder than it should be. Guests walk around the property holding quick-service meals looking for an open table. More seating in that corridor addresses a real problem that anyone who visits regularly has run into.
The less generous read is that Disney Springs has been building toward a more premium, more curated image for years, and food trucks do not fit that direction as neatly as a polished lounge or a celebrity chef concept. The trucks were casual. That was the point. That may also be why they are leaving. Disney has not confirmed either interpretation because Disney has not said anything at all about this.
Why This Hits Differently Than Other Disney Springs Changes
Disney Springs loses things regularly. Restaurants close, concepts rotate, shops come and go. Most of it feels like the natural churn of a large retail and dining district. This one is a little different.
The food trucks at Exposition Park filled a specific role that nothing else at Disney Springs was filling. They were fast. They were affordable relative to the rest of the property. They required no reservation, no long wait, and no real commitment beyond walking up and ordering something. For families on a tighter budget, for guests who just wanted a snack between shopping stops, for regulars who had built these trucks into the rhythm of a Disney Springs evening without making a big production of it, they were genuinely valuable.
Disney Springs has become more upscale with every passing year. That is not a criticism, it is just true. The restaurants are more ambitious. The price points are higher. The reservations are harder to get. The food trucks were one of the last places on the property where you could make a spontaneous decision, spend a reasonable amount of money, and eat something good outside in the Florida evening air.
After mid-June, that option is gone.
What To Do If You Want to Say Goodbye
If you have a Disney Springs trip before mid-June, GoJuice and 4 Rivers Cantina are still operating. Cilantro is already gone, so cross that one off the list. There is no confirmed final date for the remaining two, which means there is no guarantee they are both still running all the way to mid-June. If visiting before they close is something you actually want to do, sooner is smarter than later.
If your trip is after mid-June, the practical reality is that the West Side quick-service options are going to be thinner than they have been in years. The Marketplace side of Disney Springs has more variety for guests who need something fast and affordable. Building a stop over there into your plan, rather than expecting the same range of options on the West Side, is the most useful adjustment you can make.
For the summer visitors specifically, the GoJuice gap is going to be the one that shows up most on hot afternoons. There is not a direct equivalent at Exposition Park for what it was doing. Planning your cold beverage situation before you arrive on the West Side on a July afternoon is not a dramatic piece of advice, but it is genuinely practical.
We will keep tracking any updates on the timeline as they come. And if you have a Disney Springs trip coming up and want to talk through what is still worth visiting and what has changed, drop it in the comments. This is exactly the kind of thing we love helping people sort through before they go.
