It’s the spookiest (best?) time of the year at the Disneyland Resort as the 2019 Halloween Time season has officially kicked off (ending October 31.) We visited the parks to take in the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the season!

Here’s a first taste look at just some of the goodies that you can sink our teeth into for Disney Halloween Time! ENJOY!

Novelty Souvenirs

Your popcorn and beverage options are strong around the Happiest Place on Earth and there’s a few novelty items to catch your eye this year…

AP-Exclusive Cauldron Premium Popcorn Bucket ($20 with $1.50 refills though October 31). Valid AP required for purchase and for refills.

Oogie Boogie Head Popcorn Bucket ($20) has light-up eyes!

Mickey Pumpkin Balloon Bucket ($18). There’s also a regular popcorn bucket with a fun design on it.

Pumpkin Bottle Topper ($6.50) and Purple Poison Apple Glow Cube ($)

Halloween Travel Mug ($8.49).

Purple Poison Apple Premium Mug are available for $15.99.

What We Tried This Year

Mummy Macaron

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Mummy Macaron ($5.99) at Jolly Holiday Bakery Café is a macaroon with white chocolate drizzle sandwiching a cookies n’ cream filling. We see this option every year and as delightful as it looks we never opted to give it a try before now. This is such a wonderful little treat, it’s no wonder this returns again this year. Delightful and more than enough to share.

Hades Dog

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃⚫

Hades Dog ($11.49) from Refreshment Corner is not for the faint of heart or taste bud. This foot-long spicy dog is topped with Harissa aioli, lemon-pickled cucumbers, oven-dried tomatoes, sauteed peppers, and feta. Mobile Order gave us the option to add shreded cheese ($0.78); so we did, obviously. If you’re generally worried about the spice/heat, then yes, it will bother you. If you love heat, this is a nice low burn.

Returning Treats

Popular items from last year’s Halloween Time have returned again…

Pumpkin Spice Beignets

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Pumpkin Spice Beignets ($5.49 for 3 OR $8.99 for 6) from the Mint Julep Bar are a lovely Halloween Time treat featuring the classic recipe tweaked with a faint trace of pumpkin spice flavor.

Sweet Potato Hand Pie

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Sweet Potato Hand Pie ($4.99) from Jolly Holiday Bakery Café is a big flaky poptart with toasted marshmallows and a sweet potato filling. Not overly sweet, really good with coffee! Will not disappoint!

Chocolate Coffee Yule Log

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Chocolate Hazelnut Yule Log ($5.99) at Plaza Inn is always a satisfying treat in previous years when we’ve had it. The name pretty much sums up what to expect here, a satisfying sugar overload, great with coffee.

Lamp Kofta

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Lamb Kofta ($11.99) at Bengal Barbecue with tzatziki sauce, spinach and pickled onions on grilled pita bread. The first year we tried this we were not impressed but in 2018 this ended up being one of our favorite dishes of the entire day. The meat was tender and juicy. The spices perfectly blended. The pickled veggies a crunchy sharp contrast. Everything worked together. A little pricey considering it comes with no sides.

Anti Vampire Pizza

RATING: 🎃⚫⚫⚫⚫

Anti-Vampire Pizza ($8.99) from Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta features roasted garlic sauce, marinated chicken smoked gouda, mozzarella, roasted red peppers and a tomato-harissa sauce drizzle. I was supremely disappointed by this on just about every level. When something is advertised as being garlic-flavored, I want garlic seeping from my pores within the hour. There’s hardly any garlic flavor here making this just as ineffective at warding off vampires as it is to satisfy your hunger. Skip this one.

Everywhere Treats

Around the Resort you’ll find a number of bewitching treats both hand-made and prepackaged.
