Disneyland regularly refreshes menus throughout its theme parks, resort hotels, and dining areas due to the vast number of locations across the property. We monitor these changes closely so you can quickly identify which updates might impact the restaurants on your itinerary or your favorite menu items. See last week’s menu changes here.

This week, Disneyland introduced new items like a Muppet’s popcorn bucket coming soon, new summer treats, plus an expansion of popular Ghirardelli sundaes.
