I love Halloween. I love Disneyland. In fact I love anything disney.
So when a friends daughter was having a birthday at Mickeys Halloween Party in Disneyland, I was so excited! This time of year, Mickey and friends throw a Halloween Party that is not to be missed. I went on a hunt for all of the yummy Halloween treats that are only available during the month of October. I also enjoyed some of their traditional food items as well.
On select nights in September and October, Disneyland hosts a special event that starts at 6 pm. Now FYI, when you buy tickets for this special event, you are allowed to enter the park as early as 3 pm, and for the price, it is much lower that their regular admission price, and since I usually enter the park in late afternoon anyway, this was a great time to go.
At 6 pm, they begin giving out candy at candy trail locations throughout the park. The place is all decked out for the holiday, and even some of the rides have been transformed. They also have a wonderful Halloween Parade, and amazing fireworks show.
And while I’m here to celebrate a birthday of a much adored 15 year old, I will also be trying all of the special food fair that is offered for the holiday. I prepared early by checking out other blogs like the Disney Food Blog, for information on where to find
The Halloween snacks, and that really helped a lot.
The first thing I tried, was the Mickey Pumpkin Beignets. You can find the traditional Mickey Beignets at The Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square, and for a limited time, you can enjoy the Mickey Pumpkin Beignets, which I found to be absolutely delicious! They have a very warm, soft, powdery ( is that a word?) sugared texture.
And a deep pumpkin flavor. The kids will find this to be a special treat. Dipping these in coffee is the way to go!
We also tried the Raspberry Magnolia Lemonade that not only tastes light and refreshing, but also fun because it comes with an led ice cube! (Not Edible)
It looked so festive for the Halloween Holiday!
I had their regular Mint Julep that I have always wanted to try, and to my surprise, I fell in love with this drink! I loved the mint flavor, and lightness of this drink. It’s non-alcoholic from what I’ve been told, so you can enjoy it with the family. It has become my new Disneyland Favorite!
I have a list of regular favorite foods to eat everytime I visit Disneyland, including the Bengal Barbecue located across from the Indiana Jones attraction, and the Corn Dogs located near Carnation Plaza, but for the holiday event, I’m in search of limited time goodies!
My next stop, was at the Country Bear Restaurant, for their Caramel Apple Funnel Cake. This Halloween treat should never be passed up! It was the most delicious Funnel Cake I’ve ever had!
It is topped with a warm, gooy apple pie filling, that just goes together so well with the Mickey shaped whipped cream that is piped on top. The whole thing is then drizzled with a bit of caramel syrup. I swear, I want one right now just thinking about it.
My kids absolutely devoured it! My husband never eats whipped cream, and he said that this is the best he has ever tried! So be sure to check out the Hungry Bear Restaurant in Disneyland for this scrumptious Halloween treat!
The Hungry Bear Restaurant is also known for their Honey Lemon Cupcake, that I had to try.
It has been topped with an edible Bee that has almonds for wings! The flavor of the frosting has a light lemony flavor and with the honey in the cupcake just reminds me of summer with Winnie the Pooh!
My final stop was to the jolly holiday bakery to check out the Bat cookies that I’ve been hearing so much about.
They also had these too cute Mickey pumpkin cupcakes, that looked to adorable not to try. As soon as they passed it to me, we all took a bite! The frosting on this cupcake was soft, velvety, vanilla flavored fun.
But at this time, we are so totally full that we can’t eat another bite, so we just stared at these beauties through the case. I have to admit, it is pretty hard to try and eat all of the Halloween treats at Disneyland. I thought I could do it no problem. Boy was I wrong. Even with all the walking, I was full after just a few treats. But it was all worth it! Every last bite!
Disneyland this time of year, in my personal opinion is the best time to go.
You get to try all of their traditional foods, as well as seasonal favorites and everything festive that the park has to offer.
Especially the rides that are transformed for the Halloween holiday like the Haunted Mansion that has been turned into the Night Before Christmas!
So if you happen to be on the west coast this holiday season, be sure to stop by Disneyland! It’ll be a treat you won’t soon forget:)
And while we are talking about Halloween, don’t forget to check out these Halloween treats that you can make at home.
