The Walt Disney Company and Kraft Heinz have entered a multi-year strategic partnership that will combine food, entertainment and storytelling across Disney’s North American parks, cruise operations, media platforms and consumer experiences. The alliance will bring Kraft Heinz brands, including HEINZ, Philadelphia and Kraft Mac & Cheese, into Disney destinations and fan experiences, with new menu offerings, dining concepts and branded activations planned across Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland Resort in California and Disney Cruise Line sailings from North America.

The partnership will integrate Kraft Heinz products into some of Disney’s most recognisable locations, including themed areas such as Main Street, U.S.A. and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Ten Kraft Heinz brands will participate in the collaboration, creating new food offerings and guest experiences inspired by Disney’s portfolio of franchises. Beyond physical locations, the companies will explore opportunities across Disney’s media platforms through integrated marketing campaigns, digital content and brand-led initiatives aimed at connecting consumers with both companies’ brands at home and through entertainment experiences.

The collaboration will also introduce new HEINZ condiment stations and custom-designed equipment across Disney parks. HEINZ will showcase new sauces from its Sauce Vault during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California, from August 14 to 16. “Kraft Heinz and Disney are two companies that are woven into the fabric of family life,” said Nicolas Amaya, President of North America at Kraft Heinz.

Amaya said the partnership aims to bring the companies together in moments where families engage with food and entertainment, from visits to Disney destinations to everyday meals at home. Disney said the alliance reflects its strategy of working with brands that share its focus on creating experiences connected to its characters, stories and destinations.

“Disney Corporate Alliances is focused on working with iconic brands with shared values to create meaningful experiences that bring families closer to the stories and places they love,” said Becca Vodnoy, Senior Vice President of Corporate Alliances at The Walt Disney Company. The partnership will roll out across Disney parks, resorts, cruises and other platforms throughout the year, with additional consumer experiences expected as the collaboration develops.
