The Spooky Season Is Arriving Early
It might only be April, but Disneyland is already giving us a reason to look forward to the fall. As part of the “Halfway to Halloween” celebrations, Disney has officially confirmed the return of four fan-favorite snacks that have gained a bit of a cult following over the years. These treats are staples of the Halloween Time season at the Disneyland Resort, and we finally know exactly where and when you can grab them.
The festivities are set to kick off on August 21, 2026, and will run through October 31, 2026. Whether you’re a fan of savory heat or seasonal sweets, there is something in this lineup for you. Let’s break down the four confirmed returns and where you’ll find them across the parks.
1. Spicy Mac & Cheese Cone
Heading over to Disney California Adventure, the legendary Spicy Mac & Cheese Cone is making its return to the Cozy Cone Motel 3 – Chili Cone Queso. This isn’t just your standard mac and cheese. It’s served in a soft, bread-based cone and features a distinct kick of spice that makes it one of the most photographed and sought-after savory snacks in Cars Land. If you’ve never had the experience of eating pasta out of a bread cone while standing near a giant orange cone, this is your year.
2. Green Apple Lemonade
Also in Disney California Adventure, you’ll want to stop by Smokejumpers Grill for the Green Apple Lemonade. This quick-service spot, located right next to Soarin’, is the perfect place to grab a refreshing seasonal drink. The lemonade balances a tart green apple flavor with a crisp citrus finish. It’s a great palate cleanser if you’ve been indulging in some of the richer treats available throughout the park.
3. Caramel Apple Cheesecake
Over at Disneyland Park, the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe on Main Street, U.S.A., is bringing back the Caramel Apple Cheesecake. This has historically been a massive hit for dessert lovers. It captures the essence of a classic caramel apple but delivers it in a creamy, decadent cheesecake format. Because this location is right at the hub, it tends to get busy, so you’ll want to plan accordingly.
4. Spicy Meat Pizza
Rounding out the list is the Spicy Meat Pizza at Alien Pizza Planet in Tomorrowland. This savory option is perfect for those who want a full meal that still feels like a seasonal celebration. It offers a nice bit of heat and has become a go-to for families looking for something quick and themed before heading over to the next attraction.
