Credit: DisneyIf you’ve ever rope-dropped Magic Kingdom with one mission in mind—snack first, rides second—you probably know exactly where this story is headed. Right at the entrance of Adventureland sits a tiny cart that has earned a huge following: the Spring Roll Cart. It looks simple, but for many guests, it’s the first stop of the day and sometimes the last treat before heading home.
This little cart has turned spring rolls into something legendary. The cheeseburger version alone feels like its own fan club. Pepperoni? Also beloved. And every so often, Disney introduces a special, limited-time flavor that has everyone buzzing, as if they had just spotted Mickey in a new holiday outfit. It became one of those little pieces of Disney culture where trying the new flavor is half the fun.
Because these rolls switch out flavors occasionally, any update gets attention. Fans make guesses, debate previous favorites, and celebrate or panic depending on the announcement. So when Disney hinted at a new twist coming to the cart, people got curious fast. Something familiar, yet very different, was on the way. And it wasn’t just another standard option.
This one brings back the spirit of a past Celebration roll from the 50th anniversary, but with a totally new personality. Traditionalists might blink. Adventurous snack-hunters will probably cheer. Let’s just say that Disney went full deli-counter mode for this one.
A Blast From the Past With a Brand-New Twist
Magic Kingdom is rolling out a Pastrami Reuben Spring Roll, served with Thousand Island dressing for dipping. Yep. It’s exactly what it sounds like: savory pastrami, tangy dressing, and that iconic, crispy spring-roll shell we all know. It’s a mash-up that feels bold, unexpected, and honestly kind of brilliant if you love a good sandwich with a punch of flavor.
This isn’t a subtle new flavor. It takes inspiration from a classic Reuben and turns it into a handheld park snack. Some Guests will be thrilled. Others may quietly ask where their cheeseburger rolls went. Either way, this choice screams: let’s shake things up.
A Holiday-Only Treat
Before you plan your next visit around this new roll, here’s the catch: it’s exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. That means only party-ticket holders will get a chance to try it, and on those nights, it’s expected to be the only spring-roll flavor available.
The first night you can try it is November 7, 2025, which lines up with the kickoff of the holiday season at Magic Kingdom.
Exclusive snacks aren’t unusual during Disney’s seasonal events, but they always spark debate. Some guests love the idea of a special-event-only bite. Others hate seeing fan-favorite staples swapped out, even temporarily. Either way, this spring roll will definitely become part of the holiday chatter this year.
Will It Become a New Fan Favorite?
Disney has tested so many spring roll flavors over the years, and not all of them stick around. Some become instant hits. Others are remembered as delicious experiments. The Pastrami Reuben spring roll feels like a gamble that could land in either category.
There’s something refreshing about Disney still taking risks like this with food, especially at a little cart with a surprisingly big reputation. Trying new treats has become part of the Disney experience. Even if it isn’t your vibe, it’s still fun to see the creativity rolling—literally—into the parks.
So the question becomes: are you sprinting to try this new roll when the holidays hit, or are you quietly wishing they’d left the classics untouched? Either way, the snack game at Magic Kingdom just got a holiday shake-up, and I have a feeling this crunchy experiment will be the talk of Adventureland once party nights begin.
