So, are Mini Donuts the end of the giant Big ‘Ol Donuts as we know them? Hopefully not, as Cast Members informed us that we should still see them around from time to time. BUT, we have now officially spotted these new mini-donuts at Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea locations inside both the Magic Kingdom and The Contemporary.
Joffrey Mini Donuts
These new offerings, like the Big ‘ol Donuts, are super fresh and tasty. Don’t they look like a perfect excuse for a sugar rush? Well, that’s because they are! There’s a lot of flavor and fun in every bite. And since every donut is different, there is the opportunity to please everyone in the family for just a sweet little bite each… OR the opportunity to have a ton of different options to fulfill your own sweet-tooth cravings.

While at the Contempo Cafe, one of our favorite quick service locations on property, we spotted the new Firework Cupcake, and we just had to try this to see if it was a taste explosion or a disappointing dud.
Firework Cupcake at Contempo Cafe: Flavor Explosion or Dud?
The first thing that attracted us to this cupcake was its chocolate paint splattered Mickey Hat! Then the name drew our attention followed by the description of the flavors.
Another cute cupcake alert for you ????! We were over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort today to showcase the new Gingerbread Castle being erected for the holiday season and we couldn’t help stopping over at Contempo Cafe for a couple of yummy treats!
Pastry and Baked Goods Case at Contempo Cafe
Today we get to show you a seriously adorable Limited Time Only (VERY limited…as in today ONLY.) Minnie’s Not-So-Scary Berry Cupcake as well as a seasonal (i.e. limited time, but not quite as limited as Minnie) cupcake — the Apple Cupcake!
She’s definitely ready for her close-up! This adorable one-day-only Minnie Mouse Not-So-Scary Berry Halloween cupcake features dyed vanilla cake, raspberry jam filling, and vanilla buttercream icing. The Minnie witch hat is made of white chocolate and filled with blackberry marshmallow.
Minnie Mouse Not So Scary Berry Cupcake
This cute dessert is such a work of art! The frosting is a vanilla buttercream that actually has a pretty good flavor, but it is very green!
It may be Halloween, but we saw a sure sign of Christmas today! The Contemporary Resort’s Gingerbread Castle in Disney World is going up!
Hello from the Contemporary
We can see the Castle, is in its “new” home for the second year in a row by the windows on the fourth floor. There it is — peeking out from between the Contemporary shops on the Grand Canyon Concourse!
