food IS a theme park
Hello, spooky season! Halloween is OFFICIALLY HERE — can you believe it? And we are so ready!
Halloween Balloon
We’ve already been enjoying the Halloween decorations, villains cavalcades, spooky treats, and themed drinks of the season! And we just found another spooky snack that we just HAD to try!
Love it or hate it, candy corn is pretty much one of the most iconic Halloween treats. And here at DFB, we just happen to be a fan of all things candy corn.

And we’ve tried a lot of amazing candy corn treats, including candy corn cotton candy, candy corn margaritas, and even candy corn milkshakes!
It’s officially Christmas at Disneyland Park!
Disneyland Holiday Decorations
We’ve been eating and drinking our way around Disneyland to check out all of their new seasonal offerings for the 2019 holiday seasons! After chowing down on the Toffee Churro and the Santa’s Milk and Cookies Churro, we had our eyes on the churro cart near Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for their special holiday treat.
How cute are these!
During our time in Disney Springs today we spotted these summer themed cakes and treats at Amorette’s Patisserie in Town Center at Disney Springs!

With Autumn waning, and the Winter Holidays just around the corner, we couldn’t resist offering you one last beautiful, delicious look at this colorful season.
Fortunately, a trip to The Mara provided a couple of great options to celebrate the season.
Having enjoyed lunch in the Parks, I decided to drop by The Mara and see what was new in the pastry case. I was excited to see lots of Fall colors and flavors! The first sweet that caught my eye was this Autumn-Themed Chocolate Pecan Tart.
The bold colors of the Chocolate Garnish were the perfect complement for the season. And I was intrigued by the obvious color in the Whipped Cream that topped the Tart.

Cutting into the Tart, it was obvious that this was a rich, moist pecan pie filling — nothing dry about this!

One of the most exciting new spots at Walt Disney World to open this year is Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, and I got to stay at AoA as it celebrated its very first holiday season! I couldn’t wait to see what new treats would be available, and I wasn’t disappointed when I found this little gem…
There in the ready-made case, I spied the Pumpkin Pecan Tart. I haven’t found this anywhere else on property, though it may be at the other value resorts (lemme know if you find it!).
Pumpkin Pecan Tart without the Cover
Opening the clam shell container, I could tell this would be fantastic! The topping looked like the best sticky, ooey-gooey pecan pie, and the thick crust looked perfect. Something else to note: see the white stuff? You think it’s whipped cream, right? So did I. But actually, it’s cream cheese frosting. The best condiment ever? I think so.
Cutting the tart in half finally revealed the creamy pumpkin custard that was beneath the pecan pie topping. This is like having two of your very favorite holiday pies all in one!
