Why, Disney…why? Seriously, we need answers over this latest menu change, as you’ve taken yet another beloved FAVORITE snack away!

They’re GONE

Disney World is known to be ever-changing, and we’re used to seeing things come and go in its restaurants around the parks. However, when Disney World recently released a whole slew of loaded fries in various flavors, we had no idea what we’d done to hit the jackpot, and hunting them all down proved to be quite the challenge! But if you’ve had your heart set on trying one of these latest creations on your next trip, we’ve got some disappointing news to share.

If you’ve been following our snack-filled adventures around Disney World for any length of time you’ve probably come to find we have an obsession with french fries. We get especially excited when we find spots to share with you where you can get Disney World fries loaded, or topped, with some of our other favorite foods like plastic cheese sauce, chili, pulled pork, and more. So, when Disney announced last October that they would be introducing new loaded fries around the Disney World parks, we let out a resounding howl that probably was heard ’round the world (at least the World Showcase).

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

That’s embarrassing, but anyways…while we made it our mission to try them all as quickly as we could, we learned the hard way they couldn’t all be winners in our book (we can’t believe we’re even saying that). There were some that definitely outshined the rest, and we’ve grown quite fond of their presence.

Flame Tree Barbecue

The A-Maize-ing Munch Fries could be found a few places around Disney’s Animal Kingdom like Flame Tree Barbecue and Restaurantosaurus. These tasty creations were made of crispy, golden french fries topped with sweet corn, chipotle mayonnaise, chili-lime-spiced Cotija cheese, and popcorn. You’ve gotta believe us when we say these were like a fiesta of flavors for the french fry lover!

A-Maize-ing Munch Fries

Truly, we knew Disney had cracked the code on something special with this, and while we knew they may be around for a limited time, the longer they stayed the more we hoped they would be around permanently.

One of the BEST

However, they certainly weren’t our only favorite of the new loaded fry lineup. We were also BIG fans of the Black Garlic, Truffle, and Parmesan Fries you could pick up at several restaurants inside Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. These were also very good and had a separately unique flavor about them that seems to have rocketed their popularity around Disney World’s parks.

Black Garlic, Truffle, and Parmesan Fries

It seems that Disney World’s latest change to its menus has crowned one of these loaded fries as its champion. Recently, Disney abruptly removed the A-Maize-ing Munch Fries from the menus and have since replaced them with the Black Garlic, Truffle, and Parmesan Fries.

Next up!

While we do love the latter’s flavors, we’re saddened to see such an “a-maize-ing” flavor combo leave so abruptly without notice from Disney World. When we spoke to Cast Members around the restaurants, they were just as surprised to learn about the overnight change, and a few expressed that they, too, enjoyed the street corn-style loaded fries.

Topped with popcorn!

If this goes to reinforce anything to us, it’s that any of our beloved snacks around Disney World could potentially change or disappear completely overnight on any given day. So, if you spot us around the park indulging on a few of our favorites soon, we’re just trying to do our part to ensure they stay on the menu as long as possible!
