We have loved A LOT of things in Disney World that have suddenly disappeared.
The Magical Express, FastPasses, and The Great Movie Ride are just a few of the popular things in Disney World that have left us too soon. We know that Disney World changes, and we have to accept that some of the best attractions, restaurants, shops, and accommodations won’t be around forever as they may eventually be revamped into something new or taken away completely. But there is one recent change that we CANNOT get over. Disney has “committed a crime” in Magic Kingdom, and we’re still in complete shock.
As many of you may know, Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom is one of our favorite places to dine in the park. It serves up delicious New England favorites like a hearty Lobster Roll, fried fish and shrimp, and Clam Chowder. There are also chicken strips that are served here that are also yummy for those who don’t care for seafood.
But possibly our favorite item that has stood the test of time and that we have always faithfully relied on at Columbia Harbour House is probably not what you might think. We have continued to LOVE the ever-popular hush puppies that come served with your meal. But y’all, a Disney World crime was recently committed — Disney REMOVED THE HUSH PUPPIES FROM THE MENU!

This is our worst fear and it has come true! We seriously cannot believe these delicious corn-filled dreamy dough balls have gone missing. It’s devastating, really.
But sadly, this is not the first time something like this has happened. Disney has removed some of our favorite treats from menus in the past, too. For example, Wendell’s Bear Claw disappeared from Westward Ho Refreshments in Magic Kingdom in 2023!
Wendell’s Bear Claw was a traditional bear claw pastry dipped in and filled with chocolate and sprinkled with hazelnuts. Even though this treat sounds simple, it was oh, so good! It was an extremely sad day when we found out this snack was leaving the park.
That’s not the only item that suddenly disappeared and left our hearts empty. The waffle sandwiches have recently disappeared from Sleepy Hollow Refreshments, as well! Now, instead of getting the delicious sandwiches, you can get Mickey waffles with toppings such as the chocolate-hazelnut spread and bananas.
Over at Sunshine Tree Terrace, the favorite Citrus Swirl is incredibly inconsistent and is currently gone from the menu. This orange and vanilla swirled ice cream treat is so great when it’s available, so we’re very sad that we can’t currently get it!
Another Dole Whip favorite was the Peter Pan Float at Storybook Treats. It was Key Lime soft serve paired with Sprite, and topped with a chocolate feather decorated to look just like the one on Peter Pan’s hat. But sadly, it has been missing for a few years now. HOWEVER, we came up with a way to create a dupe of this delicious snack over in Animal Kingdom at Trilo-Bites!
Last, the Chocolate Donut Holes, Digital Dumplings, and Mochi Ice Cream Treats at Energy Bytes have also gone missing! Now, you’ll find slushies that are unique to Energy Bytes and a Fruit Cup there.
So, we have to know, when will the madness end?! Will we ever be able to trust a beloved snack again? We know things come and go in Disney World, but the hush puppies were a staple of Columbia Harbour House, and we desperately hope they will return once again. You know we’ll be watching for any sign of their return!
