So it’s not surprising to see Magic Kingdom all decked out for the occasion!Magic Kingdom autumn decorations(Love seeing this sign pop up every year!)Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party signMagic Kingdom ScarecrowsChef ScarecrowFrontierland FriesIn case you didn’t catch our full review of all four varieties, Waffle Fries are now dominating the menu at Frontierland’s Golden Oak Outpost! Choices are BLT, Brown Gravy and Cheese, Tex-Mex and Barbecue Pork. (Remember, this spot is seasonal, so it might not be open when you’re there.)Golden Oak OutpostBLT Waffle FriesTex-Mex Waffle FriesEmporium FindsA few of the items previously only available at the Marketplace Co-op in Downtown Disney were spotted at the Emporium, including the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Haunted Mansion Glass Tankards.Merchandise display at the Emporium20,000 Leagues Under the Sea glass tankardsHaunted Mansion Glass TankardsSince the Marketplace Co-op is a testing location for retail merchandise, it’s fun to see some of the items starting to show up in other areas.EPCOTIt’s almost time… Marketplace Booths have popped up all around World Showcase in preparation for the 2014 International Food and Wine Festival!Australia BoothComing Soon…HOLLYWOOD STUDIOSPeevy’s Polar PipelineEven with all the talk about Fall, Florida temps are still high, and it’s likely you’ll find yourself in need of an ice cold beverage. One place known for exactly that is Peevy’s Polar Pipeline. You can now add a shot to your frozen concoction: choose from Bacardi Silver Rum, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, or Three Olives Cherry Vodka.Peevy’s Polar Pipeline signPeevy’s Polar Pipeline MenuThese options were previously available at Hey Howdy Hey Takeaway with your Wheezy’s Breezy Freezy, but have moved to Peevy’s (this might be the first time I’ve ever included so many words that rhyme in one sentence ;). Maybe promoting alcohol shots in “Andy’s Room” wasn’t all that smart, eh?More Autumn GoodiesNot to be left out from the fall fun, Halloween-themed snacks and merchandise are popping up in merchandise shops all over Disney World, like Villains in Vogue on Sunset Boulevard.Halloween Krispy TreatsHalloween Frosted PretzelsThis “Just One Bite” bowl is pretty cool .

Some of the results of all that work are beginning to surface, including the reopening of the newly refurbished Captain Cook’s, featuring a refreshed look and an expanded menu.Captain Cook’s dining roomCaptain Cook’s main dining roomAnd we are thrilled that Pineapple Lanai is now open!

Noteworthy among the additions are Turkey and Waffle Dressing, Cottage Pie, and Gluten Free Meatloaf.Landscape of Flavors menu screenLandscape of Flavors menu screenMany favorites from the “World of Flavors” Tandoori Station remain (like the Tandoori Chicken Thigh, Shell-on Shrimp and Butter Chicken), as well as hits like Create-Your-Own Pasta, Cheesy Pesto Bread, and the Surf and Surf Burger.There is a fun little twist, though… on weekends, there may be some variations. For instance, on Labor Day weekend, the Cottage Pie and Turkey and Waffle dressing were switched out for a Pork Tortierre Pie, and Pierogies and Kielbasa Sausage.Different options on menuAnd while it goes without saying that it’s always worth checking any bakery case at any Disney Resort , it’s especially true now with the addition of Toffee Shortbread and Seven Layer Bars/Magic Cookie Bars at the Landscape.Seven Layer Bar at Landscape of FlavorsWe’ll look forward to bringing you a closer look at some of these new offerings soon!Pop Century ResortOne of the best things about staying at Pop Century or Art of Animation is that you have easy access to either food court via the Generation Gap Bridge in between both properties. Everything Pop! Food Court has added several new gems of its own, including a Beef Brisket on Kimmelweck (“Beef on Weck” for all you Western New Yorkers like AJ out there) and Chicken Pot Pie. The Sandwich station has been expanded with Create-Your-Own options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, vegetable burgers and hot dogs.Create-Your-Own optionsThe Gluten Free Meatloaf is also available at Pop as well, and some new fun Flatbreads join the club, too.Flatbread menuAs we wave goodbye to summer, we look forward to bringing you the food news of fall, and wish a happy and successful school year to those in transition .
