Starting October 8, Walt Disney World is rolling out a saucy lineup — literally. Across the resort, you’ll find 13 new chicken strip flavors, from spicy aïoli and honey buffalo to a waffle‑cone mashup. It’s a creative swing at refreshing a dependable park snack. But be honest: will a new dip alone make you book a trip? This is what we know…

The Take: Fun Twist, Low Stakes
As a foodie add‑on, this is clever. It keeps quick‑service menus fresh without overhauling kitchens, and it gives families a low‑risk way to try something new. Will a dipping sauce get me to fly down just for strips? Probably not. However, if I’m already in the parks, I’m absolutely sampling the Waffle Cone and Gochujang—purely for research.
