food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Happy Halloween!
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, merchandise, entertainment, and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
It’s the spookiest time of the year at Walt Disney World! And the best time of year if you’re on the hunt for Halloween treats!
Candy Corn Cupcake
We’ve been all over Disney World trying out ALL the Halloween snacks! We got our fill of candy with the Worms ‘n’ Dirt Sundae, were tempted by the Poison Candied Apple, and had enough Pumpkin Spice coffee to last us until next year. Our mission is to leave no snack untasted this Halloween season. So, we headed to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to try the Spooky Mickey Brownie from Roaring Fork. #NoSnackLeftBehind
Move over, Sanderson Sisters! There’s a new drink in town that might just be spookier than those Hocus Pocus concoctions being brewed up at Starbucks!
La Cava del Tequila
The parks have been a HIT this Halloween when it comes to Fall snacks like the Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich, Minnie Mouse Halloween Mousse, and Oktoberfest Poutine (just to name a few). But, there’s a new boozy drink literally bubbling up over at the Mexico Pavilion and Disney Springs in time for Día de los Muertos this year!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Entrance
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Yes, it’s officially autumn…
YeSake
…but that doesn’t change the fact that Florida weather is still SCORCHING hot! You might be all-in on pumpkin spice coffee right now. Or, maybe you’re looking for something a little more refreshing to cool down your day of shopping at Disney Springs. It was 91 degrees today, so we decided to forgo a decadent fall treat and went with the new Popping Yuzu Lemonade from YeSake.
EPCOT is full of fresh bites and cocktails for guests looking to try something unique and delish.
A fan favorite has returned!
This theme park is home to some of our favorite snacks and a huge assortment of beer, wine, and mixed drinks. We headed to Refreshment Outpost to see if anything new goodies showed up since our last visit. While perusing the menu, we spotted a familiar tasty treat behind the bar. Could it be? Has one of our favorite drinks made a comeback??
We need to form a calming circle STAT because we’re a little too excited about the latest Starbucks hack we’re bringing you for Halloween time!
It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!
Hocus Pocus is a staple when it comes to our spooky season festivities. And, it’s pretty obvious that Disney treasures it (even more than Sarah’s lucky rat tail) since merchandise has popped up all around the parks already. As you get ready to listen to “I Put a Spell on You” on repeat during your next trip to Starbucks, you might want to bring three of your best friends or sistaaahhs to grab THREE Hocus Pocus-themed drinks this Halloween season!
Pumpkin spice here, pumpkin spice there, it feels like we’ve been seeing pumpkin spice everywhere in Disney World (not that we mind it)!
Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini
Pumpkin Spice Lattes popped up in the parks a few weeks ago, but now lots of other themed goodies like the Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats, Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini, and Pumpkin Bread Tiramisu have trickled in for the Halloween season. Even though that’s a LOT of pumpkin spice, we can’t seem to get enough of it during the Fall!
We still fondly look back on the days we would hide our Halloween candy so we could savor it long after trick-or-treating. But, nowadays we’d rather just indulge on all the spooky snacks and sips that have been popping up in Disney World instead! 😉
Halloween Treats at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club
Although pumpkin spice and even poison apples have practically been the poster children for Halloween treats in the parks, there’s something just so nostalgic about candy corn this time of the year. And Disney’s been serving up looks with Candy Corn Witch Ears and mixing up candy corn treats in the parks and resorts for guests of all ages to enjoy!
We’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and having a fun adventure (even if it’s raining)!
Tree of Life
While we made our way to Expedition Everest to say hello to our old pal Disco Yeti, we found a bit of a pleasant surprise in the park. Although Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks has been half closed since the parks reopened (Trek Snacks has been open, but Thirsy River Bar has been closed), it had a random re-opening today for guests!
