It’s no secret—we’re huge fans of the food at Disney. But really, who isn’t? Disney Parks have something for everyone to love, from corn dogs to Dole whip. Earlier this year, Disney even started releasing some of its most iconic recipes for us to make in quarantine, and we definitely enjoyed making Mickey beignets and French toast from the comfort of our kitchens.
Unsurprisingly, Disney Parks are continuing to be the happiest place on Earth for foodies. Disney’s fall menu features tons of festive and drool-worthy dishes, and we’re craving all of ’em. Here’s what Mickey’s cooking!
Hades Nachos
Only Disney could figure out a way to improve on nachos. They’ve done it again with this incredible seasonal offering that, according to the Disney Parks Blog, features black bean nacho chips with “fiery” buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, and jalapenos. You can find it at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Café, and our stomachs are growling just looking at it.
Pumpkin Spiced Waffle Sundae
We love every word in the name of this dish, so it’s gotta be pretty great! The sundae at Sleepy Hollow includes two Mickey-shaped, pumpkin spice-flavored waffles, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel drizzle and plenty of sprinkles. This is totally crave-worthy for fall, y’all.
Psst: You can watch Disney’s “Not-So-Spooky Spectacular” Halloween fireworks from the comfort of home.
Pumpkin Spice Milkshake
If sundaes aren’t your thing, Mickey’s still got you covered with this mouthwatering milkshake. It’s exactly what it sounds like—a pumpkin-spice flavored shake base—topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, a caramel drizzle and a Mickey-shaped marshmallow straw. Find it at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies.
Mickey Monster Mash Burger
This treat will have your taste buds doing the monster mash! It’s a regular burger with Muenster cheese, bacon, potato barrels and sriracha aioli (the picture Disney released also shows toppings like lettuce and tomato). Of course, it features a bun with Mickey on it. Order it at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe.
Not-So-Poison Apple Cupcake
This might be the cutest thing on the menu for fall. Available at Pinocchio Village House, it’s shaped like the iconic poisoned apple from the Disney movies, and Disney says it’s a “spiced apple cupcake with pecan crunch buttercream.” Needless to say, this’ll satiate your sweet tooth. This classic has appeared on Disney’s Halloween menu in the past, and we’re glad it’s back!
Not Going to Disney Anytime Soon?
Never fear! There are still plenty of festive fall recipes you can make from the comfort of your own home. Earlier this year, Disney released a ton of Halloween-themed recipes, including pumpkin twists and Jack Skellington cookies.
