Fall has arrived at the Disneyland Resort and it’s time to celebrate with Halloween Time! And what is a celebration without some delicious, mouth-watering, seasonal treats? With three special festivities during Halloween Time, including Haunted Mansion Holiday, Dia de los Muertos and the Halloween Carnival at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree, the offerings are plentiful. Here’s a sampling…
- Pepper Jack Skellington Burger at Carnation Cafe, on grilled sourdough with white cheddar, pepper jack, red onions and spicy burger sauce
- Halloween Wicked Grilled Chicken at Village Haus Restaurant with roasted mushrooms, Swiss cheese, arugula and spicy roasted red pepper aioli
- Roasted pork tenderloin Wellington (with scotch bonnet pepper harissa sauce!) at Blue Bayou Restaurant
- Crispy fish sandwich with tartar sauce and jicama-mango slaw at Hungry Bear Restaurant
- Coq au vin (chicken braised with wine, bacon, mushrooms and garlic) and pumpkin beignets at Cafe Orleans
- A generous muffuletta (a sandwich stuffed with layered meats, cheese and olive salad on a round loaf) at French Market Restaurant is served with homemade chips
- Also at French Market Restaurant is the Oreo Mousse Coffin, with white chocolate mousse, Oreo crumbs and Skellington white chocolate decoration
- Souvenir popcorn buckets, and an almost-too-cute-to eat seasonal cupcake
- Also be sure to head over to Disney California Adventure and try the seasonal Anti-Vampire Chicken Flatbread – lots of roasted garlic, of course, plus smoked Gouda cheese, mozzarella and a balsamic glaze.
Big Thunder Ranch is serving snickerdoodles with vanilla ice cream, pumpkin sauce, caramel sauce and orange sugar sprinkles and plenty of pumpkin-inspired sweets can be found throughout the parks. Did you think that was all? Let us tempt you with more…
Through November 3, meet some Disney Villains as they are conjured up in a sideshow tent at the Halloween Carnival at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree in Frontierland. Here you’ll also find a fried apple burrito, butter corn on the cob, hot dogs and candy corn cotton candy. Open daily 10:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Also through November 3, Disneyland park guests can celebrate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante in Frontierland during Halloween Time. For this spirited tribute to the Mexican holiday honoring the dead, the area features cheerful skeletons and brightly colored altars with marigolds and sugar skulls. Added to the menu just for the celebration are tamales and pumpkin flan with orange cake.
