Within hours of Disney posting the restaurant’s limited post-pandemic menu, #Ohana was trending on Twitter. The Disney blogosphere went into hyperdrive. Petitions were circulated. Angry op-eds were written. Over noodles. NOODLES. Apparently these noodles are so popular, they even have fan-made t-shirts!

Fortunately, before the world was burned to ashes, Disney Parks announced via TikTok that the noodles were back on the menu. It remains unknown if Disney made this decision because of public pressure or for alternate reasons posited by people on the internet.

So what’s even in these noodles that makes them so damn special? According to a recipe found on a Disney fansite, the famous ’Ohana soba noodles are mixed with shredded cabbage and bok choy, then tossed in a sauce made of sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and pineapple juice. I have to admit is sounds good, but still, was all the outrage quite necessary here? If that’s not proof there’s something more sinister at play at The House of Mouse, I don’t know what is.
