If you know me, you know that if there are special snacks to be had at Walt Disney World, I’m there. I’ll bring an appetite and an open mind to any limited time treat, so stopping by Disney’s Hollywood Studios to try a few of their Halloween snacks was high on my to-do list. Thankfully, this was an easy task to complete.

During a recent live stream from the Studios, Craig tried one of the four limited time fall season snacks currently being offered. Click here to watch the live stream and to get his thoughts on the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli currently being served at PizzeRizzo. 

Because Craig had already tried the cannoli, I opted to try the remaining three: the Poison Candied Apple, the Pumpkin Bread Tiramisu, and the Box of Bones Chocolate Eclair. Of course, with my impeccable timing, I showed up to the Studios just as a storm was rolling in. Sigh. So, for the rest of this article, picture me with a snack in one hand and an umbrella in the other, searching for a dry place to sit and munch on said snack. And picture me with soaking wet shoes. All for the love of Disney snacks, right? The squishy shoes would hopefully be worth it.

Naturally, I decided to try the first treat I came to: the Poison Candied Apple ($5.99) found at Trolley Car Café. The Poison Apple is pre-boxed and waiting for purchase in the refrigerated case.

The Poison Candied Apple is a dessert that is definitely lovely to look at. Similar to the seasonal apple dessert that was offered last year, this treat features a glossy glaçage exterior and a creamy mousse interior. 

The majority of the mousse interior is supposed to be green apple flavored. Green apple is one of my all-time favorite flavors, and I will buy just about any candy/treat/sweet on the market sporting a bright green hue, but unfortunately, the green apple mousse in this treat failed to live up to my expectations. When I think of something being green apple flavored, I expect it to be tart and bright and somewhat pucker-inducing. The mousse in this treat had a light apple flavor, but it was in no way tart like you might think it would be.

The Poison Candied Apple is also supposed to feature caramel mousse. I’m sure I looked a bit ridiculous as I sat there inspecting the treat looking for said caramel mousse. When I looked very closely at the cross-section of the dessert, I noticed that there was a faint, light brown color at the center of the snack. I did not detect a difference between the two flavors, but I appreciate the attention to detail in making the center of the treat look somewhat like the core of an apple. The base of the treat is described as being a “crunchy candy base.” It could’ve been the Florida humidity, but the base wasn’t really crunchy. It took on more of a somewhat sticky oatmeal/haystack consistency, if that makes sense. I liked it, but it didn’t strike me as necessarily candy-like.

If you’re taking the Poison Candied Apple out of the plastic box that it’s served in, be warned: the red glaçage will stain your hands. I’d hate to think of what it might do to a white shirt, so be super careful or just eat it straight out of the box.

The next snack on my radar was the Box of Bones Chocolate Eclair ($5.49) found at Backlot Express. I opened the My Disney Experience app and ordered one of the treats found in the “Halloween Exclusives” category on Backlot Express’ offerings page. After just a few minutes, I was sent the notification that my treat was ready.

The Box of Bones is an eclair made of chocolate choux pastry, dark chocolate mousse, and white chocolate “bones.” The treat is kept in the refrigerated case, so it comes to you quite cold.

The choux pastry eclair was chewy and firm at the same time, and was quite good. The dark chocolate mousse was the standout. It was thick, creamy, and substantial. I’ll take that mousse all day on its own. The white chocolate bones helped to make the dessert cute and photogenic, and provided an added layer of fun to the snack. I would definitely repurchase this snack.

My final Halloween snack of the afternoon came courtesy of Rosie’s All-American on Sunset Boulevard. Let me just take a moment to say that I’m so thankful that I hand my umbrella with me when I was in the park. The trek from Backlot Express to Rosie’s is clear across the park, and without my precious little flamingo-emblazoned umbrella, I would have been completely drenched. If you’re headed to a park during summer or early fall, toss a little something to help with rain into your park bag. You’ll be glad you did. Just my two-cents worth. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Just a minute after placing my mobile order for the Pumpkin Tiramisu ($4.99), I received the notification that it was ready for pickup. Thankfully, there are plenty of umbrella-covered tables in the Sunset Ranch Market area near Rosie’s, so I was able to find a dry spot from which to try the treat.

I approached trying the Pumpkin Tiramisu with images of pumpkin rolls dancing in my head. I had just seen a picture of a gorgeous, cream-filled pumpkin roll on social media, and I thought that this dessert would be akin to that. Unfortunately, it was not.

The spiced pumpkin bread used in place of the ladyfingers that you’d normally find in tiramisu was light on the spice and pumpkin flavor. I really wanted the pumpkin flavor to be of the in-your-face variety, but it wasn’t. It was nearly undetectable. The mascarpone cream was fine, but, like the pumpkin bread/cake, it wasn’t a standout. The dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder on the top of the treat provided a bitter contrast to the rest of the dessert, but the overall flavor of the treat left me disappointed. I would not repurchase this snack.

Out of the three treats that I tried, the Box of Bones Chocolate Eclair was the standout by far. The snack’s interesting texture and amazing, thick dark chocolate mousse filling made for a memorable and enjoyable snack. And, thankfully, Backlot Express has both seating inside and plenty of covered seating outside. If you’re savoring the treat in the middle of a monsoon, you’re covered. Literally.

One of the biggest happy dances of the afternoon came from an extra step that I took before I left for the park: I grabbed 3 plastic food containers and tossed them into my backpack. Ryno and I recently talked about our park bags on The Best and Worst of Walt Disney World, and I explained that I had recently found myself schlepping half a cupcake around the Magic Kingdom in two of those cardboard food boats that Disney food is often served in. Not fun.

I knew that I wouldn’t be able to finish everything on the spot at the Studios, and so I knew that the reusable plastic containers would come in handy. And they did indeed. In fact, as I was writing about it just now, I went to the fridge and took another bite of the Pumpkin Tiramisu to ensure that I hadn’t missed something. To-go containers for the win!

If you missed it, click here to read about my adventures as I tried three of the Magic Kingdom’s Halloween snacks. And, if you missed Tom’s article describing all of the sweet treats being offered this season, click here to check out the complete list.

Have you tried any of the Halloween treats currently being offered in the Walt Disney World parks? What treats are you looking forward to trying? Happy snacking, everyone!

Halloween is a time of tricks and treats and boy, did we find a treat today!

We stay on the lookout for a good Disney sale or discount and we hit the JACKPOT in Magic Kingdom this morning. We found not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR new Halloween sales — in addition to the $2 Halloween Tote promotion from yesterday. Let’s check them out!

The first one we spotted was this sale on select Halloween and Nightmare Before Christmas Trading Pins for just $5. Wow! Trust us, with a pin habit like ours these little guys can get expensive so we’re pretty excited about this one.

Select Halloween Mugs, typically $19.99 or $24.99 are on sale for just $15. We can’t wait to sip our Pumpkin Spice Latte out of a cute Minnie Witch Mug, especially when we’re getting that mug at a CHEAPER  price.

Looking to get stocked for the trick-or-treat rush? Snag Halloween Candy in a Mickey or Minnie Bucket and then snag another! These cuties are buy-one-get-one and STUFFED with treats.

Finally, we noticed that a Halloween Youth Tutu Set is available for $30, down from $59.99. Wowza, that’s like half-price!

The tied-front top says “I make candy disappear,” with a little Witch Minnie on it and the tutu is a super pretty purple color.

These sales were all listed and available at Main Street Emporium but we wouldn’t be surprised if they apply elsewhere as well. Keep your eyes peeled for signage and remember, you can always ask a Cast Member if there are any good sales going on. Let’s get that deal!

What do you think of the Pop Koozie? Let us know in the comments!

The post What’s New at Disney’s Pop Century: Nostalgic Drink Koozies, New Mugs, and TWO Merch Sales! first appeared on the disney food blog.

Welcome to the latest edition of The Magic, The Memories, and Merch!, the longest running monthly look at the Disney Outlet Stores in Orlando.  We have “Bargain” Ben Wszalek and “Nominal” @Nitro230 on the ground in Florida at the Outlets (addresses for both stores are at the end of every report) and we are here to give you the Outlet Report you really want totally deserve. Of course Christela “Clearance” McC is also here with a look at some Outlet items from out in California.

 

Yes, the Orlando Outlets are open!!

Depending on the time of day, you may have to wait outside the store in a social-distance spaced queue.

Here are the new procedures at the Disney Outlets. When you arrive you hop in a short queue to check in with a Cast Member.  They take your first name, last name, and phone number.  The system sends you a single “test” text that they ask you to confirm you received before you leave them.  The Cast Members do not give a wait time, but when we asked they guessed an hour and a half.

Then you wait…….

Once you get your text, you return to the store and hop in the return queue for a short wait until it is your turn to enter. When the Outlets first reopened, there was a mad rush of demand and the eBay resellers were out in full force (we’ll get to that later) and you were regularly seeing waits of an hour or more. However, there have been several times in the weeks since the Outlets reopened that there was no wait to get into the store, or just a minimal wait like 5 minutes. The general rules for crowds are similar to what they were before the Outlets closed; weekdays are are almost always less crowded than weekends, and there is almost never a crowd late in the day.

 

Once inside the store there has been a major change as well. There is a Orange County police officer watching over things. Since the parks have reopened, there have been several guests trying to go “viral” by confronting Cast Members over things such as having to wear a mask. These obnoxious guests  put the  front line CMs in an awful position, and thankfully Disney did a good job to diminish that type of non-sense at the Outlets by having a police presence.

The officer was stationed at the section of the Disney Outlet where previously they sold tickets to the parks. The sign below probably has the line “BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE!” taped over. This is the Outlets, so it stays in theme that they didn’t have enough tape to cover the whole line.

Speaking of rude people trying to go “viral,” while for the most part guests returning to the parks and resorts have been exceptional, there have been cases of just awful behavior. Last week a self-proclaimed Disney “expert” posted that she read the menu at Via Napoli wrong and was shocked to discover a bill of $50. After using their Annual Passholder discount to lower the check by 10%, she then proceeded to give a tip of ZERO to the server, writing on the bill that the price was outrageous. Immediately afterwards, this “influencer” photographed herself buying snacks and drinks at various Food & Wine stations across World Showcase.

Can you imagine, with all the things going on not just in the world, but specifically the Orlando economy, stiffing a server because you made a mistake? Whether you agree or disagree with the concept of tipping in America, these servers work at jobs with artificially low wages because tipping is expected. At almost all table service restaurants, servers also “tip out” based on their gross sales. This money goes to bartenders, food runners, bussers, and other people involved with getting the meal to your table. A server has to “tip out” no matter what, so when you stiff a server and have this fictional scenario in your mind that you’re going to be carried out on people’s shoulders to applause like the end of Rudy, instead you’re forcing an already underpaid person to take money out of their pocket to cover the “tip out” because it’s based on their sales, not their tips.

Thankfully, there are still some great people in the world, such as another guest who started a GoFundMe to raise some money for the server which the so-called Disney Influencer stiffed.

Okay, end of rant. Had to get that out of my system though because I’ve seen guests treat Cast Members at the Outlets horribly and the mere presence of a police officer in store brought that to a halt. You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat front line Cast Members, servers, and other people who they don’t “have” to be nice to.

ANYWAY, enough jibber jabber! Ready to see what we we found? Alright, let’s go!

First up is a metric ton of Funko Pops featuring the character Redd from the Pirates of the Carribean attraction. One interesting thing about the Park Exclusive Funkos is that almost all of them have a huge line of guests trying to buy them when they debut. However, almost all of them have had to be given huge discounts at the Outlets to get rid of them. Redd was originally $19.99, now $6.99.

As you can see, plenty were available.

Under normal conditions, I would say Disney should just “eat” these Funkos, and instead of selling them at the Outlets, put one in every single Pirate room at the Caribbean Beach Resort for when guests check in. You may lose a $6.99 sale at the Outlets, but you’d have such a remarkable “feel good” for guests staying onsite that they would probably remember for years. The amount of Redd Funkos available could probably stock every pirate room at CBR until 2049.

This St. Patrick’s Day 2020 Mickey plush is actually a must-buy for me as St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17, and all the Disney parks shut down for the coronavirus on March 16th. This is where you play the sad trombone sound. Originally $21.99, now $9.99.

Even at $4.99, these Bo Peep staffs are still sitting around the Outlets. I’m not sure who in Disney Marketing thought this was a good idea. Originally $24.99.

I love the style of the Disney Animator’s Collection, as it combines Disney with a touch of anime. This micro-set is pretty cool and filled with a lot of fun critters for Snow White to be friends with. Originally $24.99, now $9.99.

We know you love your bags, so here is a Timothy Mouse bag from Loungefly. Originally $65, now $19.99.

This retro Mickey Mouse Club fanny pack may be one of my top 6 favorite items EVER at the Outlets. Originally $74, now $36.99.

Disney should try to market that in a post-coronavirus society the only way you can truly be safe shaking someone’s hand or giving them a high five is by wearing a Character Mitt. These Jack Skellington mitts were originally $24.99, now $4.99.

Let’s take a brief break and head out to CALIFORNIA, where Christela McC is back with a trip to a Disney Outlet Store closer to Disneyland (details at end of every Outlet Report). Unfortunately this store didn’t get a new parks shipment in September, but there were still a few items we haven’t seen before.

I’m not a huge fan of Christmas ornaments, but this double sided Disneyland Castle one isn’t that bad at all. Originally $16.99, marked down to $2.99 with additional discount (because remember, not only does California get the huge mark down on items like we do in Florida, but they often have extra discounts on top of that – ranging from 20% to 40% off – AND get an extra 10% for using a Disney Chase Visa card).

Castle leggings. Originally $39.99, marked down to $8.39.

Disneyland patch pajamas. Same design and material as the button down shirts we’ve seen in previous Outlet Reports. Can you imagine if someone wore both the top and the pajama bottom?!! (I’m smelling a vlog Len Testa….) Originally $36.99, reduced to $5.99

And lastly we have some patches featuring the Disneyland castle and Genie’s lamp from Aladdin. Both originally $9.99, marked down to $3.99, but you end up paying only $2.39 with the other discounts also applied. BE FAIR TO FLORIDA!!!!

Thanks Christela! Let’s go back to Florida and spend a couple minutes on “the eBay pirates.” We’ve talked about them many times in previous Outlet Reports, and even included a section on them in our special Disney Outlet F.A.Q.

In the past month or so, these pirates have gotten under the skin of people as they emptied out the gift shop at Splash Mountain, bought out special Minnie Mouse headbands, EPCOT posters and other items to immediately flip. Any time something like this happens, which is pretty much weekly at this point, a lot of people get up in arms on social media. demanding that Disney “do something.”

When the Disney Outlet Stores in Orlando first reopened, the eBay resellers were out in force. Right away we saw one making multiple trips to their car carrying the Frozen Disney Castle playset.

 

All these pictures are from different trips back and forth from the Outlet Store. This last one is for all you who get outraged and demand that Disney “do something.” Disney did do something, they helped him carry more castle sets to his car.

I’ve often told angry people on social media that “it is what it is” and that not only is Disney NOT going to stop eBay pirates, in my experience they will go out of their way to help them. The pirates will get dedicated service at the Outlets, while the rest of us buying things just have to wait in line. While we were waiting in the Virtual Return Line, one eBay reseller came to the door and talked to a Cast Member. The reseller was told the wait would be about an hour. The reseller wasn’t happy about this, and the Cast Member responded back to them by name and said they would call when the line went down. The reseller didn’t have to give the CM their number as the CM already knew it. Regular Outlet shoppers are in a rigged game, as the relationship between Disney and eBay resellers is a complicated one. My best way of describing the relationship is using the ending of the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, when the animals of the farm realized there was no difference between the pigs and the human farmers.

I understand being frustrated, but being mad at Disney for this is like getting mad at the weather because it’s raining on your vacation. This is out of your control. My followers on DisTwitter (@derekburgan) know how I love to use movie references for everything, so we’ll close up this section using The Fugitive as our example…

So back at the store we see a lot of Christmas stuff is available.

You know people were desperate for the Outlets to reopen when the Toy Soldiers Wishables sell out. Even at 99 cents.

This Minnie Mouse 2019 shirt for kids was originally $24.99 and has been marked all the way down to just $1.99.

I know you’re shocked, but this Minnie Mouse sweatshirt is still available. Can you imagine wearing this in public?!!!! Actually, it guarantees social distancing, as no one is going to want to be seen within 6 feet of you so let’s get the CDC to send out one of these to every American.

This is one of those gimmick shirts where you can rub the sequins to create a new “look.” I guess. Who is supposed to be rubbing the sequins tho? This shirt was originally $29.99, now $12.99.

Another sequin shirt featuring a Premium Mickey Bar design. Originally $24.99, now $12.99.

In the future we will describe the brief moment that “Rompers” were a thing and future generations will look at us like we looked at our grandparents when they told us about pet rocks.

You gotta love a “Park Hop” t-shirt when Disney stopped Park Hopping.

They really should send all these unsold Galaxy’s Edge debut shirts to whatever country gets all the clothing from the losing Super Bowl team.

This past week the SATURDAY SIX took a look at the NBA Bubble at Walt Disney World, and the Outlets had a bunch of basketball related items, including this San Antonio Spurs shirt. Originally $35, now $10.99.

This shirt is for a WNBA team. They don’t get 1/1000th the recognition as the NBA stars, but the ladies in the WNBA have always been professional athletes who will speak up for causes they believe in. Total respect for them. Shirt was originally $35, now $10.99.

We’ll check out some NBA hats next. All were originally $39.99, reduced to $19.99. To me $40 is bonkers for these hats, but I will say it is cool that they are branded with an NBA Experience logo on the side. Granted that’s like having Zima, New Coke, or Circuit city branded on the side, but it’s a nice detail.

Still plenty of discounted WDW baseball-style caps at the Outlets, including this Tomorrowland one.

And this “Salty” pretzel one. Please let me know if you have figured out what demographic of human beings buys a hat like this.

And we’ll close with a cupcake headband from the 2019 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Originally $29.99, now just $3.99. Forget the pretzle hat…WHO WEARS THIS?!!!

SEE YOU NEXT MONTH!

BEFORE YOU ASK: There are actually two Disney outlet stores in Orlando. Both are in Orlando Premium Outlet shopping complexes, and they are called Disney’s Character Warehouse, presumably because The Land Of Misfit Toys was already trademarked. There is one Character Warehouse located on International Drive close to Universal Studios (4951 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819), and the other is on Vineland Avenue, right across I-4 near the exits to Disney World (8200 Vineland Ave, Orlando, FL 32821). They do not ship. There are items at the Outlets that you can buy both in Disney stores along with the Shop Disney Parks app, but you will be paying full retail for the items. For our CALIFORNIA OUTLET trips, @ChristelaMcC goes to the Las Americas outlet in San Diego. It is located right off the last U.S. exit.

I often get asked “which store is better?” That depends. Vineland is close to Walt Disney World, while the I-Drive location is a hop, skip, and jump away from the Universal Orlando Resort. The Vineland Disney Outlet Store is much, MUCH bigger than the I-Drive location. However, the Vineland outlets in general are much, MUCH busier than I-Drive. Each have their pros and cons, and ultimately they carry much of the same items.

The post The Magic, The Memories, and Merch! – Disney Outlet Store Update for SEPTEMBER 2020: The Orlando Outlets REOPEN! appeared first on TouringPlans.com Blog.

Disney really decided to throw us a mug-stravaganza yesterday!

We were doin’ our thang, reporting around Disney World when we came across a bunch of new mugs scattered around the resort. We’re big fans of these designs. Can YOU find a new favorite?

We’re starting with a few mugs we found in BouTiki at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. This Mary Poppins Mug definitely caught our eye. It’s got “A Spoonful of Sugar” on one side and Mary in umbrella-fueled flight on the other.

And it comes with a stirrer that’s shaped just like Mary’s umbrella. Such a nice touch! You can pick this mug up for $22.99.

Another mug that caught our eye was this adorable Winnie the Pooh Mug for $19.99. It’s styled more like the original Winnie the Pooh illustrations and it’s SO cute.

And you better have something sugary to go inside because the side says “Something Sweet.” Alternatively, you could just load your tea up with honey. Pooh would approve.

The last coffee vessel we spotted at the Polynesian is this BIG Stitch Mug for $22.99. It even features Lilo’s doll, Scrump!

It’s perfect for those trouble-makers out there who want to show the morning who’s boss.

This one comes with its own spoon, too! Check out that palm tree design.

We also spotted a duo of new mugs over at Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. We love the sketch designs on these cute little cups. You can pick up the Cheshire Cat Mug or the Stitch Mug for $14.99.

And finally, we found a new-to-us Toy Story Mug for $19.99 in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Mickey’s of Hollywood. See, we TOLD you it was a mug-stravaganza!

Did you know you can also snag this Toy Story Mug online?!

Click here to pick up the Toy Story Mug!

We told you they were some pretty bomb mugs! We’re having trouble picking a favorite. Mull it over and decide for yourself which one of these babies is a must-have.

The post It’s a Mug-stravaganza! Look at ALL the Cute New Mugs We Spotted in Disney World! first appeared on the disney food blog.

Hello, DFB friends! We spent a lovely day walking around Hollywood Studios to see if we could spot anything new.

Nothing but blue skies! So what did we notice since our last stroll around the park?

Hollywood Studios Food Updates

Jeffrey’s

September 29th was National Coffee Day, and NO, we did not make that up. And Joffrey’s was celebrating throughout the parks by offering guests $1 hot or cold coffee. Yes, we totally took advantage of that!

Learn more about the Baby Yoda Throw here!

We also spotted some super-soft Kids Fleece Throws. Look at how snuggly it looks! The kids’ throws are also $39.99.

But it’s probably the Mickey Fleece Throw with Sleeves that’s really calling to us. This is the PERFECT blanket for chilling at home in front of the TV watching Disney+ with a cup of hot cocoa! This throw is $37.22.

This Castle Throw Blanket is perfect for hanging over the back of the sofa, or cuddling under (your choice!). It features a pretty design of Cinderella Castle from Magic Kingdom! This blanket is $74.99.

We’re all mad here, or at least we can be with this adorbs Cheshire Cat Mug we found. 

We love the sketches of the Cheshire Cat all over it with his CHEEZIN’ grin.

We found LOTS of new mugs yesterday! Check them out here!

The Kate Spade Icon Collection has arrived at Legends of Hollywood! We spotted the whole collection, including this Kate Spade Minnie Mouse Crossbody Bag for $198.00. It’s covered in Minnie’s signature polka dots and little Minnie icons!

Or the Kate Spade Minnie Mouse Credit Card Case for $55.

And how PERFECT is this Kate Spade Minnie Mouse Camera Bag with its big red bow? It’s $258.

This collection is just so ICONIC.

Popcorn Stands

We noticed that the BB-8 Steins have returned to the popcorn stands at Hollywood Studios. You can get this baby with a fountain drink for $15.75. We most recently saw these return to EPCOT, too.

Mickey’s of Hollywood

You’ve got a friend in us! We love this Toy Story Mug we found at Mickey’s of Hollywood. It costs $19.99. It’s got the Toy Story logo, along with those classic animated-looking clouds.

Once Upon A Time

How cool is this Mickey Mouse Tie Dye Hat we found for $27.99? It’s very vintage, don’t you think? We would totally pair this with a retro Mickey shirt!

Well, that’s it for us this time around Hollywood Studios. But we’ll keep taking our walks around the parks and will keep you updated on everything we find!
