October was QUITE the month at Disney World. So much happened!
Lemon mousse from Space 220
In the past month alone, THREE new restaurants opened (Steakhouse 71, Space 220, and La Crêperie de Paris), the 50th anniversary snacks arrived, AND we were still seeing some Halloween snacks getting introduced. So we’ve got quite a few menu updates to share with you from October.
The Artist’s Palette at Disney World’s Saratoga Springs Resort (which is located right next to Disney Springs!) is known for its wide range of basic dishes, groceries, and its reputation as a secret spot to get creative, outside of the box cupcakes and treats!

In the past, we’ve enjoyed this spot’s offerings, such as the 50th Anniversary Eclair and Snow White Apple Cupcake! Generally, we tend to really enjoy the delicious and whimsical treats available at the Artist’s Palette’s bakery. Today, we’re checking out the restaurant’s Halloween treat, so let’s get into it!
The holidays are coming up very soon in Disney World!
