Add The California Post on Google The Most Magical Place on Earth is swapping out a little bit of its kick.
Tabasco is being phased out of restaurants across Walt Disney World — with Tapatio taking its place in the House of Mouse condiment lineup.
The switch was recently spotted at ABC Commissary in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where the familiar tiny Tabasco packets have disappeared and been replaced with the Mexican style hot sauce instead, according to WDW News Today.
Tabasco sauce packets are being replaced with Tapatío hot sauce packets at Walt Disney World. WDWNT The swap comes on the heels of Disney’s corporate partnership announced with Kraft Heinz, which has been rapidly transforming the parks’ condiment counters. WDWNT The swap is reportedly being rolled out across Disney World restaurants, meaning Tabasco devotees might have to bring their own bottles if they want its distinctive vinegary kick with their theme-park grub.
For hot sauce aficionados, it’s hardly an even swap. Tabasco is made from red peppers, salt, and distilled vinegar — known for packing a unique sharp punch. Meanwhile, Tapatio combines red peppers with salt, spices, garlic and other ingredients giving it a thicker consistency and a different flavor profile.

While some Tabasco diehards might mourn the loss, hordes of others are celebrating the news on social media. “The single best change last decade!” raved one fan on Instagram, while another insisted “THESE ARE THE CORRECT CULINARY ADJUSTMENTS.”
“It’s an improvement. I will just say that,” wrote one commenter. Another agreed, adding that “Tapatio isn’t the best. But it’s better than Tabasco for sure.”
It’s unclear whether the swap will be locked in across all resort dining counters globally.
