Disney plans to close its food truck operations at Walt Disney World, which includes Exposition Park on the West Side.

According to WDWMAGIC sources, the trucks will be phased out over the coming months, although Disney is yet to make an announcement.

Disney World's food trucks debuted in 2014 as part of the transformation of Downtown Disney into Disney Springs. Initially, four food trucks were offered with fan-favorite dishes from the theme parks, including Superstar Catering, Fantasy Fare, World Showcase of Flavors, and Namaste Cafe. Recent additions to the food truck line-up have included Mac 'n' Cheese and Hot Diggity Dog.

Over the years, Disney introduced various third-party operated food trucks, including offerings from 4 Rivers and Local Green. The third party operated trucks are not impacted.

Although Disney food trucks will be phased out, sources suggest that more third-party trucks will be introduced in their place.

The hits just keep on coming…

Noooooooo! (I actually don’t care. Never used one before)

Good.

I always hated the way they looked.

I'm assuming this also affects the ones at Fort Wilderness, right?

This is why you can't believe Disney when they try and brag how many jobs they would have brought to the area. They are fine getting rid of obtainable jobs for those living here already. The Iger method is slowly but surely crumbling.

No one says this is getting rid of jobs. They would just be transferred to other food service roles, where they are still hiring

I guess we’re going to find out every offering that lives below the “acceptable” profit margin line.

Get ready for a cost-cutting extravaganza!

That's really sad. The vegan truck had the best elote I've ever had, and I'm not even a vegan.

Let's see how many people make it to the end of the article 😏

That's one of the third party trucks and they aren't going away, and the article states that more third party trucks will be coming to take the place of the Disney owned trucks.

Obviously no one that has already commented. Sad really.

I like Local Green and look forward to more third party owners.

I'll believe it when I see it

I thought the idea of food trucks was great, but never used one. Too far out of the way. And when I go to DS, I usually have a reservation somewhere. If they parked them outside MK or DHS, I may have used them. The eggroll cart is my favorite restaurant at MK.
