New Year, New Eats: Disneyland Rolls Out New Menus, Treats & Favorites

Disneyland is about to unleash dozens of new (and returning) food and beverage items later this week. But a few noteworthy things stood out to us, including a revamped menu at Flo’s V-8 Cafe in Cars Land, the addition of twelve new plant-based items across the resort, a pair of adorable new novelty items, and the final act of Disneyland’s 70^th-anniversary celebration, which returns on Jan. 8 and runs through Aug. 9, 2026.
