It’s the last week of 2023, and we’re looking back over the week to see what’s changed.
Yes, this is generally a slow time of year for Disney World, but this week alone, we already tried our first 2024 snack, spotted a Crumbl cookie dupe in EPCOT, and met Santa Duffy. We’ve seen some Disney World restaurant menus change this week, too, so let’s take a look at those.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Brown Derby
Under Desserts, the Brûléed Champagne Sabayon has been removed from the menu.
It’s been replaced by Poached Pears and Panna Cotta — Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta, Petit Poached Pears, Almond Sponge Cake, and Caramelized Florentine Shards for $14.

Jiko
There’s a new item under Herbal Infusions to try at Jiko: Harmony — Organic peppermint leaves, organic chamomile flowers, orange blossoms, and allspice for $9.25.
