The DEVASTATING Menu Change in Disney World That Has Us in Tears

The worst part about Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration being over is that many of the AMAZING 50th Anniversary snacks went away with the celebration. (Looking at you:  Pressed Penny Silk Pie, and you, too, Mr. Monte Cristo)

Westward Ho

But some of our favorites still held on under new names, like the Shimmer and Glimmer Blondie in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (we were SO relieved when we saw it on the menu). Another favorite of ours also stayed on the menu after the celebration ended, so we THOUGHT it might stick around for good, but sadly, as of May 27th, that treat is GONE.

Wendell’s Bear Claw at Westward Ho in Magic Kingdom is a traditional bear claw pastry dipped in and filled with chocolate and sprinkled with Hazelnuts. We absolutely LOVED this treat the first time we tried it — it’s simple, but it WORKS. We’ve ordered it many times since then. You know what they say: keep it simple, silly!

We were overjoyed when this treat stayed on the menu at Westward Ho even after the 50th Anniversary Celebration ended earlier this year. We even checked the menu recently in May, just to be sure!

Still on the Westward Ho physical menu

But later in May, we noticed that it was no longer listed on the online menu, which made us nervous.

So we went to check again, and although it WAS just available at Westward Ho, a Cast Member told us that it would be going away soon. NOOOOO!!!! Well, we have to report that, as of NOW, Wendell’s Bear Claw is completely gone and off the menu. 😢 It’s no longer on the online menu for Westward Ho OR the physical menu AT Westward Ho.

It’s GONE

So if you were hoping to grab it again, we’re sorry, but as far as we know, it’s no longer available anywhere. We’ll keep an eye out, though, to see if something similar pops up, and we’ll be sure to let you know if it does. So stay tuned to DFB for more!
