Fall has arrived at Disney Springs — at least culinarily speaking — with six new seasonal snacks and drinks worth putting on your radar, no park ticket required. The Disney Food Blog made the rounds and came back with detailed, honest takes on every item.
At Amorette's Patisserie, the Apple Cheesecake ($9.75) earns high marks for its creamy base, spiced apple compote, and caramel-tinged graham cracker crust, though an artificial-tasting apple mousse on top keeps it from perfection. The Candle Petit Cake ($22) — a black velvet cake layered with spiced berry jam and pumpkin ganache — is ambitious but reviewed as a skip for anyone who isn't an adventurous eater, since the berry, pumpkin, and dark chocolate flavors don't quite harmonize.
Drink fans should head to the Bar Cart on the West Side for the Hibiscus Mezcal Margarita ($18.50), praised for its smoky-peppery mezcal balanced by floral hibiscus syrup and a chile lime rim. Over at eet by Maneet Chauhan, the Darkest Night Slushie ($7.95) is a black-dyed green apple non-alcoholic frozen drink — spooky in presentation but inconsistent in flavor from sip to sip.
The Ganachery delivered the two standout hits of the visit. The Pumpkin Spice S'more ($9) — house-made spiced graham crackers, pumpkin ganache, dark chocolate, and toasted vanilla marshmallow — is described as the rare treat where every component pulls its weight. The Ursula Dark Berry Ganache Pop ($8), a blackberry-cassis-vanilla pop dipped in dark chocolate, is called decadent and well-balanced, though fair warning: Florida heat means you'll want to eat it immediately.
