Credit: Erica Lauren, Inside the MagicDisney’s Hollywood Studios is experiencing a moment the park has not seen in years. The Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run new mission debuted on May 22, with the Mandalorian and Grogu taking over the attraction’s storyline. The Walt Disney Studios area is coming together with new shows and experiences. The Magic of Disney Animation is on its way later this summer. And at the center of all of it, landing on May 26. Waiting for opening day has created a lot of anticipation for Annual Passholder previews to catch glimpses of this newly redone area. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is about to open to the general public as one of the most significant reimagined attractions at Hollywood Studios.
Annual Passholders who have already ridden during the May 21- 23 preview window have been getting their first looks at everything the new Muppets experience brings to that corner of the park. The first full-scale Scooter Audio-Animatronic. The penguin audio engineers in the queue will immediately feel familiar to anyone who spent time with MuppetVision 3D. The Electric Mayhem soundtrack rotates across five possible songs from Song 2 to Walking on Sunshine, featuring Kelly Clarkson. The Rock Around the Shop merchandise location with guitar-shaped Loungefly bags and the MUPP3T5 license plate magnet. All of it has been visible to the guests who secured preview access.
And now the one piece of the new Muppets experience that exists outside the ride itself has come fully into focus. The complete menu for FØØD by Swedish Chef is out, and it is exactly the kind of thing you would expect from a food concept named after a character whose primary defining trait is enthusiastic culinary incompetence, producing outcomes that somehow work out fine.
The Full Menu at FØØD by Swedish Chef
The kiosk is cashless, and guests with allergy requests are asked to inform a cast member directly. A note at the bottom of the menu delivers the most important piece of operational context in the entire food and beverage lineup: per Kermit the Frog, for everyone’s health and safety, Swedish Chef is not permitted to prepare food at FØØD. That is the level of thematic commitment Disney brought to this menu, and it sets the tone for everything on it.
The snack menu starts with Wocka Wocking Nachos at $7.49, corn chips with queso blanco, tomatoes, and guacamole. The Churro Drumstick at $7.99 is a twisted churro tossed in mixed berry sugar, topped with raspberry sauce and assorted sprinkles, served with chocolate sauce. Mini Corn Dogs come in at $10.99 served with chips. Assorted chips are $3.29 and a chocolate chip cookie is $4.79.
The frozen treat menu is where the Electric Mayhem theming shows up most directly. The Mayhem Soft-Serve Float at $7.49 combines frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry and vanilla soft-serve topped with pink cotton candy, which is the kind of item that photographs beautifully and tastes exactly as chaotic as it looks. The Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry Slushy is $6.29. The Float at $6.79 offers vanilla soft-serve with a choice of Coca-Cola or Barq’s Root Beer. A waffle cone in vanilla, chocolate, or swirl is $6.29.
The non-alcoholic beverage lineup includes two specialty drinks worth noting. Pink Le-moi-nade at $6.49 is Minute Maid Premium Lemonade and guava made glamorous with a sprinkle of pink shimmer. Pond Water Limeade at $6.79 is Minute Maid Limeade, green apple, and fruit juice-filled pearls. Standard fountain beverages are $5.59 covering Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Barq’s Root Beer, and Powerade Mountain Berry Blast. Bottled water is $4.25 and Smartwater is $6.25.
The adult beverage options include High Noon Pineapple Vodka Hard Seltzer at $12.75, RAMONA Blood Orange Wine Spritz at $11.75, and the Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry Slushy at $16.50 with a choice of Bacardi Superior Rum or Tito’s Handmade Vodka.
What This Means for the Full Muppets Experience
The FØØD by Swedish Chef menu completes the picture of what Disney has built around Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets as a full destination rather than just a single attraction. Guests who ride the coaster will exit into Rock Around the Shop for merchandise, then find the Swedish Chef kiosk steps away with a menu designed to extend the concert atmosphere into the post-ride portion of the visit.
The Churro Drumstick is the item on this menu most likely to generate its own social media moment. A twisted churro in mixed berry sugar with raspberry sauce and sprinkles is visually striking, as Disney food items need to be to capture attention in the current landscape. The Mayhem Soft-Serve Float, with its blue raspberry and cotton candy combination, serves the same function: a drink that announces itself before anyone takes the first sip.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens to the general public on May 26. The Swedish Chef is ready, supervised, and technically not allowed to cook. Everything else is in place.
