Walt Disney World Resort has kicked off 2025 with a bang, introducing a new name and making significant changes to its dining experiences.
The beloved resort has officially rebranded itself as Walt Disney Worlds, emphasizing the vast, interconnected “worlds” guests can explore. This rebrand is part of Disney’s latest ad campaign, Infinite Worlds, which highlights the resort’s scope with its four theme parks, two water parks, and over 25 resort hotels.
The timing of this rebrand aligns with the anticipation surrounding Universal’s Epic Universe opening later this year. Disney’s message is clear: the magic isn’t contained to one world—it’s infinite.
What’s Changed on the Dining Front?
Disney has also rolled out updates across nearly 30 dining locations, making this a game-changing moment for foodies visiting the parks. Here’s a closer look at some of the updates:
- Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Bakery (Starbucks): Seasonal drinks like the Peppermint Mocha and Chestnut Praline Latte have been swapped for a Pistachio Cream Cold Brew.
- Le Cellier at EPCOT: The iconic 16-oz Prime Rib Roast is now replaced by a 16-oz Rib-Eye Steak, priced at $62.
- The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge: New allergy-friendly offerings have been added, such as the Kilimanjaro Bowl and Mickey-shaped waffles.
Some of the changes may seem small, but for many guests, these menu updates make a big difference when planning their dining experiences.
A Strategic Move to Stay Competitive
Disney’s decision to rebrand and refresh menus isn’t just about guest convenience—it’s a strategic response to growing competition. Universal’s Epic Universe is poised to be a major draw with its immersive lands, and Disney’s rebrand seems to push the narrative that there’s always more to discover.
Whether you’re excited about the new branding or nervous about the changes to your favorite restaurants, one thing is clear: Disney is setting the stage for an exciting year.
