The restaurants in the Magic Kingdom have made turning the calendar to a new month even more momentous with their “of-the-month” offerings.
October is no different — and boy are we being rewarded with some “of-the-month” treats! Plus, now you can get some desserts that were previously exclusive to the Halloween Party all day, everyday.

That’s right, that’s a Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Diggity Dog of the Month from Casey’s Corner — but that isn’t all Casey is cooking up this month!
We’re suckers for original Disneyland locales, and The Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland is one of those that totally steals our hearts. A mainstay of the park since day one, there’s plenty of lore about this now-quick service spot, including the presence of Walt’s personal box — at the right-most corner of the restaurant’s balcony — which is now open to the public.

We bid a sad kwaherini to our beloved Peanut Butter Brownie at the Mara at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Lodge this summer, but we’re thrilled to say: it’s back!

With Cosmic Chili Pasta! (What? Pasta isn’t the first thing you think of for Halloween? Well, we’ll just have to go with it because Aliens.) (Also: carbs.)
The 2018 Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic will take place on Friday, October 26, and Saturday, October 27, 2018.
And this event — which will mark its 9th anniversary this year — is one of my absolute annual favorites!
The Causeway at the Swan and Dolphin Classic
This two-night fall event coincides with the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival and includes The Causeway (which features more than 90 food and beverage stations with dishes from the resort’s 17 restaurants and lounges as well as more than 30 wineries) and four special food areas — Carnival Corner, Beer Garden, Chinatown, and NEW for 2018, The Pig & Poke — along with Educational Seminars.
And this week, we attended a Preview Event to see what’s in store, and let you know what you’ve just GOT to eat on the Causeway this year at the Classic!

Our day in Animal Kingdom was jam-packed with new food, menu changes, construction, and more. But, our favorite part of the day was stopping at the Donald’s Dino-Bash Dance Party and hearing the DJ play Monster Mash and other Halloween songs mixed in with regular pop songs!

Be sure to stop by Donald’s Dino-Bash and do the Monster Mash!

Halloween means lots of cool Halloween themed items in and around the parks like the Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket, Poison Apple Glow Cube, Halloween Themed Resort Mugs and the Headless Horseman Straw Clip.
