When it comes to change, we see a LOT of it happening ALL THE TIME at Disney World restaurants.

Not only are restaurant menus always being updated, but we also see a lot of snacks come and go. However, a NEW menu change at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa reflects a BIG change that is happening ALL across Disney World.

We previously reported that Disney has partnered with Seafood Watch, which is a conservation group based at the Monterey Bay Aquarium that rates seafood sustainability. Disney has since instructed its chefs to create dishes using seafood recommended by the group.

According to Seafood Watch, lobster is one of the red-listed foods, meaning that while American and Canadian lobster is not overfished, the equipment used in lobster fishing threatens an endangered species of whale. Therefore, the group recommends restaurants against using lobster in their dishes.

We’ve previously noticed that some Disney World restaurants have already pared back on offering lobster dishes on their menus. Lobster dishes have been removed from menus at Coral Reef, Space 220, and other Disney World restaurants, and a lobster roll at the Food & Wine Festival was replaced with a sandwich made with crab.

Well, we’re noticing even more lobster dishes falling off menus, particularly at the Grand Floridian Cafe. Both the Lobster Thermidor Burger and the Lobster Eggs Benedict have been removed from the menu. They have been replaced by the Grand Floridian Café Signature Burger (for $23) and the Smoked Salmon Florentine Benedict (for $20).

However, lobster dishes remain on the menu at other Disney World restaurants, such as The Boathouse and Paddlefish.
