7. Bat Mousse - EPCOT®
Will you dare to try Disney’s Bat Mousse? Available from October 28 through October 31 only, the infamous Bat Mousse at Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT is tri-colored layers of candy-corn flavored white chocolate mousse with dark chocolate glaçage and bat wings. A freakishly fun treat, the Bat Mousse is one of the more popular seasonal food items at EPCOT®.
8. Frozen Apple Cider (non-alcoholic or alcoholic) – Hollywood Studios®
As you run around the parks and experience all the excitement of Disney, you’ll need something refreshing. During the month of October, Hollywood Studios serves up Frozen Apple Cider at multiple locations in the park. For the non-alcoholic version, the Frozen Apple Cider is a sweet slushy topped with green apple boba balls. For the alcoholic version, the Frozen Apple Cider is spiked with Crown Royal Whisky and topped with green apple boba balls.

Craving something sticky, gooey, and sweet?

The giant, Mickey-shaped cinnamon roll covered in Halloween-themed cream cheese icing is big enough to share and melts in your mouth!
10. Witch’s Brew – Disney Springs®
We might have saved the best for last. For a limited time at participating Starbucks® at Disney Springs®, a free-to-enter, outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex at the Walt Disney World® Resort, you can order a Witch’s Brew Crème Frappuccino. Starbucks® describes the delicious orange crème flavor drink as a blend of imaginary Toad’s Breath (purple-colored orange creamsicle), a swirl of Bat Warts (chia seeds), a dusting of Lizard Scale Powder (green sugar sprinkles), and Cauldron Foam (whipped cream). While the “ingredients” may sound scary, the concoction is spookily delicious.
