Disney World Permanently Cuts 5 Longstanding Offerings From Iconic EPCOT Pavilion

EPCOT guests returning to a familiar corner of the park may want to pay closer attention during their next visit.

Disney has made a series of permanent cuts, removing five longtime options from one of World Showcase’s established locations. The removals arrive alongside several additions, creating a noticeably different experience for returning guests who may have grown accustomed to what was previously available.

It is the kind of update that can easily slip past visitors until they arrive expecting an old favorite and discover it is gone. Disney didn’t make a major announcement about the removals, but regular visitors could certainly notice what’s missing.

And these five cuts come as Disney continues making updates elsewhere around EPCOT, including work in World Showcase and plans for a much bigger transformation involving one of the park’s most famous attractions. With several projects moving forward, EPCOT continues to look toward its next chapter.

EPCOT’s World Showcase Continues To Evolve

World Showcase remains one of EPCOT’s defining areas, with 11 country-themed pavilions surrounding World Showcase Lagoon.

Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, the American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada offer their own combination of architecture, entertainment, shopping, attractions, and dining for guests to experience throughout the day.

That variety encourages guests to explore rather than simply move from one ride to another. For many visitors, spending time inside the individual pavilions is a major part of an EPCOT day.

Dining plays an especially large role. Guests can grab quick-service meals, book table-service restaurants, or sample food from festival marketplaces throughout the year.

That makes even relatively small updates worth watching. When Disney removes several established options at once, returning visitors may immediately notice the difference during a future trip.

One World Showcase location has now done exactly that.

Five Familiar Choices Are Officially Gone

Le Cellier Steakhouse in EPCOT’s Canada pavilion has introduced a new menu, adding several dishes while permanently dropping five previous options.

The restaurant removed the Land Greens Salad, Heritage Chicken, Roasted Cauliflower “Steak,” Seafood Cioppino, and the Boutique Collection dessert sampler.

In their place, guests will find four notable additions.

A new Caesar Salad ($16) includes romaine, Bibb, and frisee with radish, pine nut gremolata, and a plant-based Caesar dressing.

Three new entrées have also arrived. The $41 Roasted Chicken comes with warm farro salad, baby squash, carrots, cranberry-orange gel, and sherry-chicken jus.

The $39 Miso-roasted Cabbage features king mushrooms, chili crisp, maple, wild rice, leek oil, and mushroom gravy. Meanwhile, the $53 Almond-Crusted Salmon comes with broccolini, celery root tapioca, and adobo sauce.

For dessert, guests can now order a $15 Butter Tart served with brown-butter panna cotta, maple crème anglaise, and cocoa-nib tuile.

The changes give returning Le Cellier guests several new dishes to try, but anyone hoping to order one of those five previous offerings will need to choose something different.

Other EPCOT Projects Are Moving Forward

The Canada pavilion isn’t the only part of World Showcase receiving attention.

Disney continues work around the Germany pavilion, adding another ongoing project to EPCOT’s list of updates. While this work is much different from a restaurant menu refresh, it shows that changes continue around World Showcase in 2026.

An even bigger project is eventually coming to the front of the park.

At D23 this year, Disney announced that Spaceship Earth will receive a touch of “new magic.” Disney hasn’t announced a closure date, so guests still have time to experience the current version.

When work does begin, Disney plans to update scenes and make changes to the attraction itself.

Perhaps the biggest difference will involve its story. Spaceship Earth has long centered on the evolution of human communication. Disney plans to shift the attraction’s focus toward human connection with the upcoming update.

Without an announced closure or reopening date, plenty of details remain unknown. Still, Disney has made it clear that another significant EPCOT transformation is ahead.

EPCOT Guests Have More Changes Ahead

Le Cellier’s latest menu refresh may not carry the scale of a major attraction overhaul, but removing five established offerings at once could still catch returning guests by surprise. For longtime visitors who have built meals around favorite dishes, these changes could make their next reservation feel noticeably different.

Those cuts also come during a period when Disney continues to make adjustments throughout EPCOT. Some updates are relatively small, while others could reshape experiences that guests have enjoyed for generations.

Work around the Germany pavilion remains underway, while Spaceship Earth is preparing for a much more significant update at an unknown date. Disney has yet to reveal exactly when guests will experience that transformation.

For now, guests visiting World Showcase will find the latest noticeable difference in the Canada pavilion. Five familiar choices have disappeared, four new dishes have arrived, and another small piece of the EPCOT experience has officially changed as Disney continues looking toward the park’s future.
