The Food We Can No Longer Find At Disney Parks

Disney has given us so many great things over the years. In fact, now that the corporation seems to own so many of our favorite franchises, we technically have more to thank them for than ever before. However, just because Disney has gifted us with so much in the past, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t taken things away as well.

If you’ve visited any of the parks around the world, you might know they have a ton of delicious foods inspired by various Disney shows and movies. Some of these are new creations, while others have been a staple for decades now. Then, of course, there’s the food we can no longer find at Disney parks because it’s been discontinued.

French Toast Loaf disappeared right before Starbucks came along

Don’t get us wrong - we love a good trip to Starbucks. However, there’s no denying that the chain has brought an end to a lot of beloved coffeehouses over the years. It’s also seemingly to blame for the loss of the French Toast Loaf that used to be served at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. This breakfast treat made with bread, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and cream was a deliciously naughty way to start the day. Unfortunately, the dish was dropped around the time that Starbucks moved into the old Main Street Bakery.

BeaverTails were a beloved treat for eight years before they got ditched

Given that Epcot draws attention to places all around the world, it’s no surprise that the cuisine here often has an international feel. One of the restaurants that used to have a home here was the Canadian establishment Trapper Bob’s BeaverTails. Their standout treat was the titular BeaverTails, which boasted flavors like cinnamon and sugar, maple and chocolate, and so much more. They developed quite a fan base at Epcot, yet that didn’t stop Disney from suddenly dropping the restaurant after just eight years.

Chips and Sith was a limited-time dish for Star Wars Weekend

It’s been over a decade now since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, with ‘Star Wars’ gradually becoming one of the corporation’s biggest franchises. During one of the earlier years of the acquisition, Disney held a ‘Star Wars’ Weekend in 2015 when they sold various foods themed around the films. One of those dishes was Chips and Sith, which was chickpea and lemon hummus with tomato roasted red pepper coulis. Black sesame seeds, Bugle chips, and radishes were used to create Darth Maul’s face on top, in a creative move that we wish we could see again.

The Handwich was supposed to be a convenient meal for busy hands

How often have you found that you simply don’t have enough hands while at a Disney park? You want to eat something on the go, but you have too much stuff with you for that to be possible. Well, Disney tried to come up with a solution to this when they introduced the Handwich. This food featured your typical sandwich toppings like tuna salad or ham and cheese stuffed into a bread cone. The point was that it was a meal you could eat with one hand. However, it seems it didn’t quite hit the mark and was consequently dropped in the ‘90s.

Candy animal droppings probably weren’t Disney’s finest idea

How often have you looked at animal droppings and thought to yourself, “Mmm, delicious?” Probably never, yet that didn’t stop Disney from taking inspiration from such things when coming up with new foods. Back in 2015, Animal Kingdom introduced treats at Yuri’s Sweet Shoppe designed to look like the excrement from various animals. Although the food itself was delicious, being primarily made of fudge or brownie, it seems people weren’t in love with the idea of eating animal droppings. This is one food we’re pretty glad to see the back of.

Figaro Fries were dropped by Disney twice in the last two decades

It’s not often that Disney takes away a food twice. However, it seems that’s exactly what they did with Figaro Fries. This food was first introduced at Magic Kingdom, where it was available at Pinocchio Village Haus. A collection of fries covered with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, and ranch dressing, it was a pretty popular dish. However, it disappeared sometime in the late 2000s. Although it later returned in 2016 at the Plaza Restaurant with a new name - Plaza Loaded Fries - they vanished again in 2022.

It’s only natural that foods will come and go as Disney continues to try and offer visitors new and exciting things to try at their parks. Still, it’s hard to forget some of these discontinued treats, for better or for worse. Who knows, maybe a few of them will return one day. After all, nostalgia can work wonders, especially when it comes to Disney.
