There’s been a ranch change!

Sure, there are new rides, new lands, new experiences, and more, but we pay special attention to little changes that you might not even notice. Recently, we spotted a dining change that you might want to know about, and, as a self-proclaimed ranch aficionado, this one hurts. It looks like Disney is switching ranch dressing brands, and depending on where your loyalties lie, you might not like it.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

For years, Ken’s has been the supplier of ranch dressing and other dressings at Disney World restaurants. While nothing tastes as good as the homemade stuff, we’ve come to love the familiar, tangy flavor of Ken’s Ranch Dressing.

Ken’s dressings

So, imagine our surprise when on a recent trip to Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we spotted a different brand of ranch dressing! That’s right, instead of Ken’s, we spotted Kraft Ranch Dressing at this quick service spot. As a ranch fiend, I know how loyal people can be to their brands, and I, personally, am not a fan of this change — but that doesn’t mean others might not be as disappointed as I am!

Kraft ranch dressing

When we spoke with a Cast Member about the change, we were told that the brand of ranch dressing you get depends on which warehouse is sending Disney World restaurants their stock for the day. That means you might get Kraft one day or Ken’s the next. It also could depend on the restaurant, as well, so you don’t really know what you may get. So, it sounds like it’s not officially the end of Ken’s at Disney World, but it all just depends on who the supplier is and which restaurant you’re at.

Ranch Dressing

We’ve also spotted Heinz ranch dressing at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom — Heinz and Kraft are both owned by the same company — so it seems like you just never know what you’re going to get when it comes to ranch dressing at Disney World right now.
