A sweeping dining shift is quietly underway at Disney's U.S. parks and resorts. As part of a new partnership between Disney and Kraft Heinz, Kraft Mac & Cheese has become the exclusive macaroni and cheese served at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line. At Disneyland, the swap is already complete — dishes like the Slow Burnin' Mac & Cheese Cone and Bacon Mac 'n' Cheese at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land now use Kraft, with varieties including deluxe and white cheddar chosen to match existing flavor profiles. The transition is actively in progress at Walt Disney World and aboard Disney Cruise Line.
Philadelphia Cream Cheese is also being worked into menus across the board, appearing in recipes as well as for bagels. Ten Kraft Heinz brands in total are part of the collaboration, and eventually menus will carry explicit callouts noting the Heinz, Kraft, and Philadelphia branding. The goal, according to a Heinz representative who spoke with Mickey Visit at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, was to find natural fits for each product rather than forcing jarring menu overhauls.
On the condiment side, Heinz pump dispensers are being installed at park locations — a standard-style sauce station similar to what guests might recognize at quick-service spots. Within the next few weeks, Brauhaus Mustard is set to arrive as an elevated option alongside existing condiment choices. Looking further ahead, the partnership envisions bringing specialty sauce taps to the parks, offering unique flavors in a tap-style setup.
Perhaps the most eye-catching piece shown at D23 was the Heinz Remix Machine, a customizable condiment dispenser reminiscent of a Coke Freestyle unit. Guests choose from base sauces — ketchup, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or ranch — and then add flavor boosters like bacon, buffalo, jalapeño, honey, roasted garlic, smoky chipotle, or mango before the machine blends a personalized sauce into a small cup. No timeline for park installation was given, but the machines were on display as a concept coming at some point. At the event, fans also voted on four specialty flavors: orange mojo, Brauhaus mustard, maple sweet chili, and blackberry bourbon barbecue.
