Santa’s making his list, he’s checking it twice — and Hollywood Studios is pulling out all the stops for his arrival soon!
Prep and Landing Elves
There’s decorations, parties, snoap (!!!), and SO. MANY. TREATS. And, while we’ve spotted the Cinnamon-Apple lunchbox Tart already in the park, now Santa’s elves are preparing a new dessert to make the season merry and bright!
The Prep and Landing Cupcake has made its return, flying into the Trolley Car Cafe this year!
While the 2018 version of the cupcake had bright red icing (that was a little too much for us…we’re still doing laundry), the 2017 version had cream cheese frosting. This year’s Prep and Landing Cupcake has brought back a lighter version of the cream cheese frosting! And, the white icing is thankfully pleasing to this eyes this time around!
The spiced gingerbread cake has a gingerbread filling and is topped with cream cheese frosting, festive sprinkles, a snowflake candy, and a white chocolate piece featuring Lanny and Wayne (welcome back, you guys!!).
Compared to the previous cupcakes, the 2019 Prep and Landing Cupcake has a much lighter flavor. The cream cheese on top isn’t too rich and almost has a fluffy consistency.
The gingerbread filling actually has a kick of cinnamon to it that we LOVED. Plus, the last lil crunch from the white chocolate piece, snowflake candy, and sprinkles are giving us energy to hop around Hollywood Studios to get MORE dessert!
You can get the Prep and Landing Cupcake this year for $5.99 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit!
