Kraft Heinz Disney Parks Deal: What Changes at Disney World

Heinz is about to be everywhere at Disney. Kraft Heinz and Disney confirmed a multiyear alliance in a joint announcement, and the Kraft Heinz Disney parks deal brings ten brands into Disney parks, resorts, cruise ships, and streaming platforms across North America.

New condiment stations. New menu items. New sauces debuting at D23. If you eat at Walt Disney World or Disneyland, this changes what’s on the counter next to your burger.

Here’s what the deal actually covers and what you’ll notice on your next trip.

Quick Summary

• Kraft Heinz and Disney confirmed a multiyear alliance spanning foodservice, media, and events
• Ten Kraft Heinz brands are involved, including Heinz, Philadelphia, and Kraft Mac & Cheese
• The deal covers Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney’s studios and streaming platforms
• New HEINZ condiment stations with custom-designed equipment are coming throughout the parks
• New sauces from HEINZ’s Sauce Vault debut at D23, August 14-16 in Anaheim
• The alliance launches this summer with rollouts continuing through the year

What the Kraft Heinz Disney Parks Deal Covers

Ten Kraft Heinz brands will show up in Disney settings ranging from Main Street, U.S.A. to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The named brands include Heinz, Philadelphia, and Kraft Mac & Cheese.

The scope is broad:

• Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando
• Disneyland Resort in Anaheim
• Disney Cruise Line
• Disney’s studios and streaming platforms

That last category is what separates this from a standard supplier agreement. The alliance opens the door to integrated marketing campaigns and digital content across Disney’s media platforms, not just condiment packets at a quick service window.

What Changes at the Parks

The companies say the alliance will bring new menu items, guest experiences, and product offerings to hundreds of dining locations across Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line sailings.

Specific details announced:

• New HEINZ condiment stations with custom-designed equipment throughout the parks
• New sauces from HEINZ’s Sauce Vault, debuting at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, August 14-16 in Anaheim
• Storytelling-driven menu offerings tied to Disney franchises

The condiment stations are the change most guests will actually notice. Anyone who has fought a stubborn ketchup dispenser at a Magic Kingdom quick service counter has a stake in “custom-designed equipment.”

The Sauce Vault Debut at D23

HEINZ’s Sauce Vault sauces debuting at D23 is the most concrete near-term item on the list. D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event runs August 14-16 at the Anaheim Convention Center, and it’s serving as the launch platform for the collaboration’s first visible product.

If you’re attending D23, that’s where you’ll get the earliest look at what this partnership produces.

What Both Companies Said

Nicolas Amaya, President of North America at Kraft Heinz, said the two companies have long shared a place in family life. “For generations, families have grown up with our brands side by side,” he said, pointing to Kraft Mac & Cheese during movie nights and Heinz at the dinner table.

Becca Vodnoy, Senior Vice President of Corporate Alliances at Disney, said the partnership reflects Disney’s approach to working with brands that share its values. She said Kraft Heinz “understands how families connect through everyday moments.”

How Big Is Kraft Heinz?

For context on the scale of the partner Disney signed: Kraft Heinz reported about $25 billion in net sales in 2025, with brands sold in more than 40 countries.

The portfolio includes Heinz, Kraft, Philadelphia, Primal Kitchen, and Lunchables. That’s a company with the supply chain capacity to serve hundreds of Disney dining locations plus a cruise fleet without straining.

What This Means for Your Next Trip

Practically speaking, a few things:

• Expect Heinz branding at condiment stations. The custom equipment rollout is the most visible change coming to quick service areas.
• Watch for franchise-tied menu items. “Storytelling-driven menu offerings” points to limited-time dishes built around Disney properties rather than permanent menu changes.
• Kraft Mac & Cheese will likely appear on kids’ menus. With Kraft Mac & Cheese named specifically, kids’ menu placement is the obvious application.
• Nothing changes overnight. The alliance launches this summer with activations rolling out through the year. Most of this arrives gradually.

Is This Good for Guests?

Depends on what you value.

Brand partnerships at Disney parks have a mixed record. Supplier deals can mean better consistency and equipment, which is a genuine win at high-volume quick service locations. They can also mean less variety, if a partnership crowds out regional or specialty options.

The honest answer is we don’t know yet. The condiment station upgrade is a clear improvement. The menu items depend entirely on execution.

The Bottom Line

The Kraft Heinz Disney parks deal is a multiyear alliance covering foodservice, media, and events across Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney’s streaming platforms.

The first visible piece arrives at D23 in August with new Sauce Vault sauces, followed by new HEINZ condiment stations and franchise-tied menu items rolling out across hundreds of dining locations through the rest of the year.

Keep an eye on quick service menus this fall. That’s where this partnership will show up first.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
