The Plaza Restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom has begun phased updates, starting with changes to its dessert menu. Disney replaced two artisanal milkshakes with Cookies ‘n Cream and Chocolate-Hazelnut varieties, while keeping some classics. The restaurant remains open as alterations continue through 2026.
Guests at The Plaza Restaurant may notice subtle differences in the menu, particularly among the milkshakes. Disney swapped out previous flavors like key lime and chocolate pecan brownie for new options: Cookies ‘n Cream Milk Shake and Chocolate-Hazelnut Milk Shake. Familiar choices such as the strawberry shortcake shake and customizable version are still available, and one new shake is priced slightly lower than some prior offerings. These tweaks mark the first phase of a gradual refresh without closing the location. The Plaza, a longstanding spot near Cinderella Castle, has long offered classic American fare including sandwiches, burgers, and milkshakes in a relaxed setting. This approach aligns with Disney's recent strategy at Walt Disney World of introducing changes incrementally to maintain operations and test guest reactions. Rather than full refurbishments, updates evolve over time across attractions and dining spots. The changes signal Disney's effort to modernize while preserving the nostalgic appeal of Main Street, U.S.A. As reported by Inside the Magic, the menu evolution began recently and could extend further in 2026, though only the milkshake updates are confirmed so far.
