The Disney World Pumpkin Treat That Surprised Us…But NOT in a Good Way

By Cassie Agundes 1 Comment

Halloween time has been underway for quite some time over at Disney World, but we’re still trying out new offerings for the season.

Mickey Pumpkin

A highly-awaited Halloween sipper, new treats, a Pluto Halloween scavenger hunt — the Halloween season has had many later arrivals. And it’s time for us to bite into another one of the new treats to arrive at the resort. So, let’s head over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to taste a new pumpkin dessert!

Over at Trolley Car Cafe, you can grab the Pumpkin Mousse for $6.29. It’s a pumpkin cheesecake with a cinnamon sugar dusted apple cider cake, a raspberry dark chocolate stem, and purple buttercream. Let’s dig in to see how it tastes!

Here it is!

Honestly, it was just…okay. The cream cheese flavor was heavy and very thick. Like…the cream cheese flavor was so strong that we barely even tasted the pumpkin. The apple cider cake at the bottom had a nice crunchy texture and felt more like a cookie, though. But overall, everything was overpowered by the cream cheese.

If you are a fan of cream cheese flavor, you would probably like this treat. Although it looks like this treat would be full of pumpkin, we think pumpkin-lovers would be disappointed.

The inside

Also, this treat is structurally unsound, so we recommend just leaving it in the container. We couldn’t get it out of the container without it falling apart! The chocolate stem and buttercream didn’t really add anything to the treat except a bright purple contrast in color.

So, if you want to grab your own, be sure to head over to Hollywood Studios before the season ends on October 31st! But if you’re looking for another fall-themed mousse, check out the Haunted Forest Apple Mousse at Roaring Fork! This one was much more impressive and we’d recommend trying it out.

Insta-worthy treat!
