New Chicken Strips Galore Coming to the Walt Disney World Resort
I wasn’t planning on writing an article solely dedicated to 13 new chicken strips soon to debut at Disney World today, but here we are. Let’s face it. Chicken strips are pretty universal. Almost everyone loves them, whether they’ll admit it or not. You might even find me sitting on the Fantasyland castle wall, munching on a chicken strips kids’ meal from Cosmic Ray’s during Happily Ever After. So let’s take a look at the new “sauced” flavors set to debut on October 8, 2025, and where you can find them.
