Disneyland Made 23 Restaurant Changes Including Menu Refresh at Popular Sit Down Restaurant

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’s dining changes included 23 changes, with most of the changes happening at a popular sit-down restaurant as it received a seasonal menu refresh. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a Disneyland restaurant that unexpectedly closed for refurbishment and changes to the schedule for a popular Disneyland character dining experience.

Carthay Circle Receives Menu Overhaul

Carthay Circle Lounge outdoor area

Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure has introduced a seasonal refresh that leans into new spring flavors with globally inspired ingredients. Previously, we shared a change recently at the Carthay Circle Lounge.

The new menu highlights lighter seafood options, vegetable-forward plates, and bold flavor combinations, including Blue Fin Tuna Crudo, Tempura Fried Shrimps with mango-miso glaze, Roasted Spring Asparagus with pistachio and basil, and a plant-based Wild Mushroom Paella. Heartier entrees like Prime Bone-In Short Ribs and Slow Braised Pot Roast with ricotta polenta add richer options to the updated menu.

But with this menu refresh came the removal of previous dishes, including the Braised Short Rib Raviolis, Salmon Carpaccio, Carthay Salad, Roasted Chestnut & Apple Soup, and the Korean Style Angus New York Steak. See all the changes below.
