Right here’s some cool information! Walt Disney World has shared a sneak peek on the menu and meals photographs for AstroFizz, the brand new eating stand opening quickly in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom as a substitute to the retired Cool Ship (RIP to a different vestige of the as soon as iconic Tomorrowland ’94 type).
For many who haven’t been following this saga, Walt Disney World introduced again in mid-Could that “Cool Ship is briefly closed for refurbishment and is predicted to reopen later this yr.” A number of development permits have been filed round that point for basic development and set up of a brand new kiosk.
Within the months that adopted, the previous Cool Ship was utterly eliminated and the pavement was torn up in a big space of Tomorrowland past simply the bottom of the previous kiosk. We assume that work was being accomplished past simply the fundamental refurbishment and substitute of a snack stand, because the undertaking space was pretty sizable and the work has taken a number of months. From the PeopleMover, it appeared like one thing else was occurring. (I’m undecided what, however the Utilidor is kind of beneath that.)
The muse underneath the snack stand was completely rebuilt and, a few month in the past, a brand new kiosk appeared in Tomorrowland. The AstroFizz construction itself was probably fabricated off-site, as a result of sooner or later there was nothing and the following day it was in place, absolutely assembled (minus a little bit of ornamentation). Progress has been ongoing to the encircling pavement and element work on the snack stand since then.
Regardless that it’s fairly clearly been a Cool Ship substitute from the start, there’s been hypothesis amongst followers about what this “thriller undertaking” entails as a result of its footprint and prolonged timeline. A lot of the hypothesis was tongue in cheek, although, and revolved round whether or not it’d be a meals & beverage location or one other Disney Trip Membership gross sales kiosk.
What we didn’t know till now’s what the kiosk would serve. Nicely, apart from Coca-Cola. That a lot appeared apparent given Walt Disney World’s longtime company alliance with Coke at this location. We additionally didn’t know what it’d be referred to as. It was protected to say the title Cool Ship could be retired for the reason that new stand has swooping strains paying homage to the close by Joffrey’s Revive stand and traditional Tomorrowland, with nary a spaceship in sight.
With the Cool Ship saga now wrapping up and AstroFizz being revealed as its substitute, I assume we’ll need to discover a new multi-month development undertaking to look at from the TTA PeopleMover. (I’ll fortunately take a Tomorrowland Speedway substitute, or perhaps a observe shortening and modernization. Company would go loopy for the Glad Journey with Baymax!)
Anyway, right here’s the menu and meals photographs for AstroFizz in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom:
Coca-Cola, Fanta Blue Raspberry or Fanta Orange Frozen Slushies.
Cherry Cola Churro: Churro rolled in cherry sugar, drizzled with Coca-Cola Cherry icing, and topped with cherry popping candies.
AstroFizz may even serve popcorn.
Actually, the menu doesn’t do a complete lot for me, however then once more, I’ve at all times been extra of a Lunching Pad or Auntie Gravity’s man. I’ll say that I had barely greater expectations for this location given the dimensions of the kiosk, and following the menu on the different new-ish Coca-Cola stand, Ice Chilly Hydraulics at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Ice Chilly Hydraulics has truly turn into a sleeper favourite of mine. Each the mini cinnamon rolls and bacon churros are higher than they’ve any proper to be (pictured beneath), and whereas they is probably not definitely worth the $9-10 value tags, they’re price Disney Eating Plan credit or (as has been the case for me on a few events) DVC Moonlight Magic snack vouchers.
I had hoped AstroFizz could be extra like that. The churro does look attention-grabbing, although. And perhaps this isn’t the total menu. The official web site for AstroFizz does point out cotton sweet, so there could possibly be extra to come back. A savory snack and a marquee dessert (I don’t assume the churro qualifies, however others may disagree) could be good.
Talking of that official website, it doesn’t but have hours or a gap date for AstroFizz. The present calendar runs by means of late December 2025 and says “no occasions obtainable” for all dates by means of then. That is nearly actually fallacious.
Simply judging by progress photographs, it seems we’re days away from the opening of AstroFizz, not weeks or months. The signage and menus are already up, and Forged Members have been noticed inside. My guess is that AstroFizz opens earlier than Jersey Week and Veterans Day arrive.
On an aesthetic word, the brand new kiosk appears to be like good and is consistent with the course they’ve been going with Tomorrowland as a part of the rolling reimagining that began means again in 2018-2019.
As famous above, it’s similar to the Joffrey’s Revive stand that’s close by, and feels far more consistent with the retro-futuristic mid-century and house age type of Tomorrowland than the 1994 incarnation of the land. There’s nonetheless quite a bit to be accomplished within the land, but when latest developments are any indication, the reply to Is It Time for Tomorrowland’s Reimagining? is sure.
Now could be one of the best time for a rolling reimagining of the land, and we anticipate that to proceed into the longer term with extra to come back due to the Carousel of Progress and Buzz Lightyear’s House Ranger Spin tasks, the latter of which ought to ship a brand new facade for the attraction. Right here’s hoping that there’s an amazing large stunning tomorrow for Tomorrowland in 2026, with much more tasks we don’t but learn about on the horizon!
