Guests and Cast have reported the quite replacement of a signature Magic Kingdom refreshment.

As epicurean historians may recall, the Citrus Swirl and Orange Bird Character returned to the Magic Kingdom as part of the park's 40th anniversary celebration in the Spring of 2012:

... {with} the return of the Orange Bird to the Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom Park, the original Citrus Swirl makes its official comeback too. Gone for more than a quarter of a century, it’s nice to have them back where they belong for the 40th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort.

With that belonging bygone, Sunshine Tree Terrace has made the surreal switch from the classic Citrus Swirl to a new "Orange Swirl".

The two new options are priced and described as follows:

Orange Swirl Cup $4.29
Orange and Vanilla Soft-serve Ice Cream

Orange Swirl Float $3.99
Orange and Vanilla Soft-serve Ice Cream with Orange Soda

The main difference appears to be the replacement of the frozen orange slush with Orange soft-serve Ice Cream.

No explanation (internal or public) has been reported for the change.
