We’ve been adding them to our menus as we find them, so be sure to check our list of recent Walt Disney World menu updates here. Just to give you an idea, we added HOLIDAY SPECIAL meals to: Whispering Canyon Cafe, both lunch and dinner and The Wave, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also added a selection of holiday menu items to D-Luxe Burger and Casey’s Corner, and many others.

They added Lobster Fried Green Tomatoes as an appetizer, and Vegetarian Bangers and Mash, Chicken-Strawberry Salad, Lobster Cobb Salad, Kentucky Turkey Hot Brown Sandwich, Smoked Pork Chop; and Strip Steak as entrees. Removed from the menu: Grilled Reuben, Cheese Steak Sandwich, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Tuna Salad Sandwich, Plaza Club, Vegetable Burger, and Honey-Barbecued Beef Brisket Burger.

ON THE SITE THIS WEEK:

As you may have noticed, the AllEars.Net website underwent a redesign a few months ago, in an effort to become more mobile-friendly. Since that time, we’ve been busy tweaking and refining the layout.

Several of you who have taken the time to write mentioned that navigation between our older blogs was difficult after the site redesign. As reader Steve noted: “When I want to go from one article in a blog to the next or to a previous article from the same blog, I used to be able to find links to do that at the end of the blog. Now, it appears that the links go back and forth between the next article in another blog or column.”

To help alleviate that issue, we’ve done two things: First we’ve added links to the most recent entries in the blog you’re reading in the left side menu as you can see HERE. We’ve also added links to subsequent pages of the blog at the bottom of the blog entry, as you see HERE.

You’ll note some other changes here and there throughout the site — for example, we’ve added social media sharing icons on the top right of most pages, so that you can share our info with your friends more easily.

You should also notice that we’ve updated nearly every single Walt Disney World menu on the site — we even have menus that Disney doesn’t have online! We’re continually refreshing our Dining Area not only with updated menus, but with new photos of the locations and menu items. This week we’ve added new location photos for Spyglass Grill,
as well as lots of food photos for Chef Art Smith’s Homecoming, Citricos and the Japan Ice Cream Cart, and we have quite a few more to come. Don’t forget to check our Dining Database often!

And please, feel free to send us your feedback on ways in which we can make the site work better for you — like Disney World itself, it’s a work in progress, always changing! You can drop us a line via our Contact Us form. We’ll look forward to hearing from you!
