Totchos Are Back At Woody’s Lunch Box

Earlier this month, we here at MickeyBlog reported that one of our favorite Hollywood Studios snacks had mysterious disappeared from the menu at Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land.  We definitely felt the sadness over Totchos being taken off the menu. 

For those unfamiliar, Totchos are a delightful combination of Tater Tots and Nachos and have quickly become a cult-favorite among Disney regulars.  That’s why we’re excited to confirm that after a mini hiatus they’re back!

That’s right! Imagine our relief when we checked out the Woody’s Lunch Box menu this morning and noticed that our favorite treat had made a return. Check out the menu below: 

As you can see this tasty treat which expertly blends Potato Barrels with beef and bean chilli. The Totchos are now available as an entree for $8.99.  The treat comes with shredded cheese, queso, tomatoes, corn chips, sour cream and green onions!
