food IS a theme park
If you have a sweet tooth and you’ll be at Downtown Disney soon, then you need to have Disney’s newest candy on your radar!
So many options!
You can fill up a bag or mini trash can at Downtown Disney’s brand-new bulk candy station!
It’s Halloween, Lo-ween, everybody (if you know, you know). Halloween Time has arrived in Disneyland, and you know what that means: it’s also Oogie Boogie Bash time!
Maleficent treat trail
Oogie Boogie Bash is a special ticketed event in Disney California Adventure held on select nights from August 18th through October 31st. It’s like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party…but a little spookier, as one might expect from a party hosted by Oogie Boogie. The party features exclusive entertainment, food and drinks, character meet and greets, and more. You can also trick-or-treat at treat trails throughout the park, and we’re going to give you the full rundown of every treat trail available this year.
When you visit Disney World, you sort of HAVE to bring back souvenirs of your trip, right? Who doesn’t want a little memento of all the good times you had in the parks?
Storybook candies
Now, we know some people have specific souvenirs that they buy in the parks, like pins for pin collectors. Some of us also collect Disney mugs (and yes, we have a LOT). Others collect ears. But our favorite souvenirs usually include food of some kind, and we just found a NEW souvenir that is both a memento AND food. So it’s…well…perfect!
Halloween has arrived at the Disneyland Resort, and with it comes spooky decorations, characters in costume, and of course, CANDY!
Oogie Boogie Bash
California Adventure’s Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Party features highly themed treat trails that bring guests face-to-face with some of Disney’s most notorious villains. According to Disney, these threats bring guests “deeper into the immersive worlds of the mischievous Characters everyone loves to fear. It’s a howl-o-ween adventure filled with frightfully delightful fun for all ages!” But what about the candy?
I look forward to going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party every year. This after-hours event is one of Disney’s most popular and is full of exclusive snacks, one-of-a-kind entertainment, and rare characters to cross off your bucket list.

Unfortunately, prices continue to rise every year, and it’s making us question if it’s worth the cost. You only have access to the Magic Kingdom for a limited time, and not everything in the parks is open. Should you buy a party ticket this year? Let’s find out!
If you’ve wandered down the candy aisle at Walgreens in the past year, you might have noticed the rise of peelable gummies. They went viral last year in fun flavors like banana and mango — the kind of quirky, gimmicky candy you can imagine a kid peeling apart with sticky fingers before popping it in their mouth.
You know this went into my cart immediately.
Well, Walgreens has decided to keep the trend rolling… and maybe push it off a cliff.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off at Magic Kingdom on August 15th, and we can’t wait to take in all the sights, sounds, frights, and foods.
I Spy a Treat Marker!
One of the BEST parts about this yearly event is being able to go trick-or-treating INSIDE Magic Kingdom. Yep, that’s right — FREE CANDY! You’ll find various trick-or-treat locations throughout the party, and we’ve got the full list of treat stations right here!
It’s probably no secret that we’re candy fiends here at DFB. Okay, if we’re being honest — we don’t really discriminate when it comes to food. Sweet, salty, sour, you name it — and we probably love it.
M&M’s Store in Disney Springs
So, when we found out that there was an EXCLUSIVE M&M’s flavor you can ONLY get at Dollar General, we knew we had to spread the word. We’ve seen plenty of flavors of this chocolatey, candy-coated snack, but this is one that we’re putting on our “must-buy” list ASAP.
Every so often, Disney drops a piece of merchandise that’s so wonderfully weird, it stops us in our tracks.
SO many mugs
This time? Let’s just say it’s cute, collectible—and a little trashy (literally). Let’s check it out!
Of all the parks in Disney World, when it comes to eating and drinking, EPCOT could be one of our favorite places to visit.
EPCOT
That’s because you can literally take a trip around the world (or at least to 11 countries) over the course of a day (or a few hours if you’re feeling ambitious) and you can drink around the world, grabbing cocktails and liquors from each country. But forget that. We’ve got a better idea (okay, this was actually an idea from one of our readers). Instead of drinking around the world, let’s SNACK around the world instead!
