The Walt Disney Company’s chief financial officer, Christine McCarthy, recently said Disney will “reduce portions” at Disney Park restaurants to start cutting costs, saying it’s “good for guests’ waistlines.” I have indicated that I am planning to
Disney guests have since complained about the quality of food at Disney restaurants.
Columbia Harbor House at Magic Kingdom
A Disney World guest visited the Columbia Harbor House in the Magic Kingdom and ordered a lobster roll.
Located within Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Columbia Harbor House is a quick-service restaurant that serves a variety of food items, but is best known for its iconic and fan-favorite Lobster Roll Sandwich.
As seen in the image above, the Lobster Roll comes with a heaping scoop of chilled lobster and is served in a New England-style pan. The meal comes with fries and costs $16.99. This seems to match the amount of lobster seen in the photos.
But on a recent trip to Columbia Harbor House, Disney World guest Marlene didn’t get what was advertised.
Marlene sent the following photo (below) to Inside the Magic, explaining that she complained to a Disney cast member at the cash register after receiving this shocking and deeply disappointing menu item.
A cast member brought her an extra lobster roll sandwich to make up for the portion size, but unfortunately, Marlene said the second sandwich was just as bad as the first.
Mickey Benier
The iconic Mickey-shaped snack, Mickey Beignet, has also been a victim of food portion cuts, as one fan shared a photo of a thin and completely hollow beignet, suggesting Disney cut the portion. He added that he was not joking when he said that
WTF Disney, you weren’t kidding about cutting the part. From Disneyland

Other Disney fans have not hesitated to comment their thoughts on the photo, mostly agreeing with the original poster.
I had a microwave meal that looked great.

Wow I wouldn’t pay $12 for that
Become a Magic Kingdom guest
A few years ago, Be Our Guest Restaurant in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom switched to a flat rate service. This means that instead of ordering the regular menu and paying separately for appetizers, entrees and desserts, you pay one price with a choice of one appetizer, one entree and one dessert.
Even though this change occurred years ago, a new photo appeared on the social media platform Reddit and many Disney fans wondered how they felt about the new Prefix service compared to the old regular service. are raising their voices. Be Our Guest menu.
Now, please note that the restaurant is now offering prix fixe, so the appetizer shown in the image above is for one person and not meant to be shared. Many fans were blown away by the presentation of the food, especially in such an elegant setting.
Note that the quality of the food is not due to Disney’s cost cutting, but to supply chain issues, according to Disney’s manager.
If you’re upset or dissatisfied with your meal at Walt Disney World, be sure to tell the nearest Cast Member. Disney also strives to ensure that guests have a magical time, and can make necessary adjustments going forward.
