“There’s no turning back now…”
YES!!! It’s the Haunted Mansion Dining Room of ALL OUR DREAMS!!! You can see the complete set-up at the Marketplace Co-op in Disney Springs.
Ghost Host Chair
Yeah. We’ll be getting to that shortly.
Now, a lot of the merchandise displayed on the foreboding table setting has been available for some time now at Memento Mori in the Magic Kingdom, and here at the Co-op, too. [Read more…]
Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat, call in the spirits wherever they’re at… because Haunted Mansion Treats! I first spotted these in early October, but just recently went back to purchase and try them.
Haunted Mansion Gummies & Popcorn
I purchased both and brought them home to my live-in sweets specialists. Let’s start with the Popcorn. The packaging is so great. I love Gus the hitchhiking ghost on the front, and the teal and purple colors of the popcorn are so pretty! Yes, I just said that popcorn is pretty.
Perfect Packaging
The packaging says “Naturally and Artificially Flavored.” We were super curious to try it and see what the exact flavors were.
We were guessing maybe blue raspberry and grape. But after trying it, it was [Read more…]
Happy Fall! Autumnal treats have been appearing all over Disney World for a while now, but with Halloween just days away, we thought we’d give you one last glimpse of the season’s snacks.
But that’s not the only food news ’round these parts… not by a long shot. Take a trip with us around all four Disney World parks to check out What’s New!
October is probably my favorite time for the candy apples that hit the scene, like these at Sweet Spells.

Welcome, Foolish Mortals
… to Memento Mori, the new Haunted Mansion gift shop in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square!
Memento Mori sign
“Materializing” on October 6th, this spot (formerly Yankee Trader) is situated right by the Haunted Mansion, naturally. (The Haunted Mansion never HAD a gift shop, and Disney needed to remedy that, of course.) And we’re dying to show you Haunted Mansion fans some of the gems tucked inside… (and, yep — there are LOTS of awesome kitchen items and food-related goodies to share, too)!
Memento Mori gift shop
But seriously, this place is pretty awesome. I wandered the store for nearly an hour just trying to take it all in. Here are a couple of pics of the “atmosphere” around the top of the display areas.
