Pickle Milkshake, Zombie Eye Bites Lead Disney World's 2025 Snack Experiments

Limited-run menus double as taste tests for dishes built to photograph well.

Overview

  • EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival is pouring a dill-forward Pickle Milkshake that has become a try-it-once novelty for many guests.
  • Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs is serving seasonal Zombie Eye Bites, a fried chicken bite stuffed with deviled egg filling and topped with olive “pupils.”
  • Hollywood Studios’ Bouncin’ Mini Churros swap cinnamon sugar for Coca-Cola glaze, bourbon candied bacon, sriracha aioli, and scallions in a savory twist on the classic.
  • Magic Kingdom’s Plaza Restaurant features a Pumpkin Spice Coffee BBQ Pork Sandwich with coffee-rubbed pork, pumpkin-spiced aioli, cold brew barbecue sauce, slaw, and a purple sweet potato bun.
  • The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom offers Kraken’s Catch, a chilled octopus dish with olives, avocado, and a piquillo pepper–almond foam, reflecting Disney’s long-running appetite for oddball snacks and the mixed reactions they draw.
