Fall is here! It seemed at times that it would never come, but for another year we counted on October and for another year, it pulled through!
What is it about Fall that is so magical? The rolling hills of burnt orange and maroon red trees? The crisp chill in the air? The endless bounty of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg baked into God’s pumpkin filled pastry gifts to all mankind? That’s the one. Baked pumpkin drinks and desserts topped with peaks of cream whipped into oblivion, slathered in butter, or brewed with coffee – however you take your pumpkin, we stand with you. And so does the Mouse.
Though the Parks may be experiencing a slight shortage of guests at the moment, there’s been no shortage of Fall treats and you know what that means – MORE FALL DELICIOUSNESS FOR US. Need some help navigating which decadent delight to indulge in first? We’ve got you. We. Have. Got. You.
1. Cinnamon Donuts
Craving a roll of deep fried dough dipped in cinnamon and sugar? Look no further than Pecos Bill Tall Inn & Cafe in the Magic Kingdom for your sweet treat delivered by a few friendly Hitchhiking Ghosts!
2. Pumpkin Spiced Waffle Sundae
Whether you take your breakfast with ice cream or your ice cream with breakfast, pumpkin spice can only work to improve wherever your preference takes you. And this particular preference will take you to Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom to a bowl of pumpkin spiced waffles topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel drizzle and sprinkles.
3. Pumpkin Spiced Milkshake
For those of us that prefer our pumpkin spice portable, head to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland for a pumpkin spiced milkshake topped with a mound of whipped cream, caramel drizzle, sprinkles and a mickey marshmallow straw.
4. Not So Poison Apple Cupcake
Another Fall flavor favorite we love? APPLE. Apple and pecans. Apple and walnuts. Apple and cinnamon. Apple and pumpkin. Apple and almost anything is amazing. Poison? ALMOST anything. This spiced apple cupcake with pecan crunch buttercream from Pinocchio’s Village House though, you can delight in without any fear for your life!
5. Spooky Apple Punch
Sometimes Fall is best enjoyed sip by sip – and if you’re a non-believer, this Spooky Apple Punch at Flame Tree Barbeque and Isle of Java in Animal Kingdom might just change your mind. Mix Sprite and Morning Apple syrup over ice and toss in a rock candy apple straw, gummy worm, sugar lime rim and you’re in Fall sipping heaven.
6. Poison Candied Apple
Okay..so some of them are poisoned. We’re pretty sure this apple and caramel mousse covered in red glaze with a crunch candy base from the Trolley Car Café in Hollywood Studios isn’t. We’re pretty sure..
7. Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli
How can you go wrong with pumpkin, cheesecake and hazelnut praline crunch in a cannoli shell? It’s practically the holy trinity of Fall baking. Where to go for this roll of heavenly cannoliness? PizzeRizzo in Hollywood Studios of course.
8. Pumpkin Tiramisu
Alright, well maybe we spoke too soon. Mascarpone. Layers of cream mascarpone and spiced pumpkin cake. Must. Go. To. Rosie’s All American Café in Hollywood Studios. Must. Go. NOW.
9. Frozen Apple Cider
It’s classic, it’s bursting with spicy, apple-y, cidery flavor, it’s the perfect Fall treat on a warm Fall evening. The Frozen Apple Cider at Rosie’s All American Café, Backlot Express and PizzeRizzo is a frozen treat every member of the family can ring in Fall with, while perusing the Hollywood Studios shops for their Fall Disney merch!
