Walt Disney World has rolled out a round of new dishes across three table-service locations at Magic Kingdom, giving guests updated options from the front of Main Street, U.S.A., all the way to the castle at the top of Fantasyland.
The changes affect Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, The Plaza Restaurant, and Be Our Guest Restaurant. Additions range from a plant-based Italian entrée to a slow-braised French beef dish and a dessert shake inspired by Mickey Mouse’s first appearance on the big screen.
New at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
The first stop for many guests entering the park, Tony’s Town Square Restaurant draws its theme from the 1955 animated film Lady and the Tramp and specializes in Italian comfort food. Three items join the menu. The Insalata della Casa is a house salad dressed in balsamic vinaigrette. The Lasagna alla Bolognese is built with four cheeses: mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, and pecorino Romano. Guests following a plant-based diet now have the Eggplant Parmigiana, baked in Tony’s Marinara Sauce, topped with plant-based mozzarella, and paired with spaghetti.
New at The Plaza Restaurant
Located at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., close to Cinderella Castle, The Plaza Restaurant is known for its turn-of-the-century setting and its indulgent ice cream offerings. The headline addition here is the Steamboat Willie Milk Shake, a tribute to Mickey Mouse’s big-screen debut. It starts with hand-dipped cookies ‘n cream ice cream and is finished with whipped cream, cookies and cream churros, a sugar cookie, and a cherry.
The restaurant has also added a Chilled Shrimp Wedge Salad, served with hard-boiled egg, avocado purée, tomatoes, cracked pepper, and Thousand Island dressing.
New at Be Our Guest Restaurant
Be Our Guest Restaurant, set inside the Beast’s castle in Fantasyland, continues to rank among the most sought-after reservations at Walt Disney World. Guests are seated in one of three rooms: the Grand Ballroom, the Rose Gallery, or the darker, moodier West Wing.
The updated menu focuses on rich French cuisine. Leading the lineup is Beef Bourguignon en Croute, slow-cooked in red wine and served with potatoes, root vegetables, smoked bacon, and bone marrow. Two more additions round out the changes: Truffle Pomme Frites with Parmesan cheese and black garlic-truffle aioli, and Lobster Macaroni au Gratin finished with sauce Mornay.
Reservations for all three restaurants are available through the My Disney Experience app. Guests are advised to book early, especially for Be Our Guest, where tables tend to go quickly.
