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!
Hollywood Studios
October is probably my favorite time for the candy apples that hit the scene, like these at Sweet Spells.

Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner currently features a Caramel Apple Shake as its tribute to fall. The featured shakes here change frequently, so be sure to pop by to see what’s available on your visit!

Joffrey’s Coffee Carts all over Disney World have changed their seasonal offerings to include a Pumpkin Pie Latte and a Pumpkin Pie Frozen Cappuccino.

Speaking of those Joffrey’s Carts… remember the Big ‘Ol Donut? We spotted a few topped with massive amounts of cookie crumble for a change of pace from sprinkles.

With the conclusion of Frozen Summer Fun, the Olaf Carrot Cake Cupcake was ousted by the return of the Minnie “Witches” (should this not be “Witch’s”?) Hat Carrot Cake Cupcake, located at several Hollywood Studios counter service eateries such as ABC Commissary, Starring Rolls Cafe, and Toy Story Pizza Planet.

But that’s not the last you’ve seen of Olaf! He has moved — along with the rest of his Frozen family and Frozen-inspired treats — to the new location for Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post, now found across the way from Studio Catering Co.

The American Adventure Pavilion’s Liberty Inn has added four new entrees: the Surf and Turf Burger (topped with a crab cake), Louisiana-style Shrimp served on rice, a Red, White, and Blue Salad (greens, Craisins, apples, pecans and blue cheese with a Sherry vinaigrette), and Maryland Crab Cakes served with Old Bay Fries (see our review here!).

Of course you’ll need something sweet to polish off those entrees, and fortunately Germany’s Karamell-Küche is just a short stroll from the American Adventure Pavilion.

Some new items have found their way into that famous bakery case: Vanilla and Chocolate Cakeballs, Caramel Gingersnaps, Caramel S’mores and a Caramel Bacon Square.

You might want to wash down that special with an ICEE poured into this adorable Amanda the Panda collectible cup!

Amanda has some stiff competition in the “cute” category, though… check out the Simba Passionfruit Cupcake found at Kusafiri Bakery! We ate it, and there’s a review coming soon.

Of course, more ghoulish goodies can be found at Animal Kingdom as well. Here is a glimpse of the goodness!

True, we don’t often feature signature restaurants here on “What’s New” since their menus change rather frequently and may differ on your upcoming visit. But who could possibly resist sharing a current entree at Artist Point with this name? Buffalo! Buffalo!! Buffalo!!! is a plate featuring Grilled Buffalo Strip Steak, Chipped Buffalo Mac and Coswald Cheese, AND Buffalo Sausage.

And the Apple Cinnamon Cupcake has returned for fall at Roaring Fork. Gorgeous, right?

Four Seasons Resort
Ravello — located at the Four Seasons Resort in Disney’s Golden Oak — has offered a Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and Pals on Thursdays, Saturdays and select Tuesdays since it opened in August. Now this experience (along with regular non-character breakfast and dinner seating) is available for booking online via the Disney World website.

It’s replacement,the Italian eatery Trattoria al Forno, is scheduled to open on December 18th. And we’re happy to share a sneak peek of the breakfast menu.
