It’s fall, y’all! That means it’s time to enjoy seasonal treats. You’ll find an assortment of fall-themed snacks and desserts around Disney World. Today, I’m sharing my thoughts about a treat full of autumn spice that I think Disney Adults will love. Conveniently, you can find it at all three Disney’s All-Star Resorts.
A Treat That Absolutely Screams ‘Fall’
On a recent visit, I took my own advice and grabbed a dessert to enjoy as a late night snack. The dessert I decided to try was the Mickey Pumpkin Cheesecake. The menu describes it as a pumpkin cheesecake with chocolate-ginger torte and almond crumble.
First of all, I have to point out how adorable (and detailed) this cheesecake is. It really does look like a little pumpkin with Mickey ears. Obviously, we all can agree that food tastes even better when it’s Mickey-shaped! The tempering of the chocolate ears was perfect, giving that satisfyingly crisp “snap” when I bit into them.
The Surprise Inside
What surprised me most when I cut into it is that the chocolate-ginger torte actually went up into the middle of the cheesecake. Tortes are usually known to be more dense than regular cake; however, I didn’t feel like the interior of this treat was too dense or overly rich.
I could definitely taste the spice, which tied in nicely with the flavor of the cheesecake itself. Finally, I was very happy that it complemented the flavor of the actual cheesecake rather than competing with it. Admittedly, I was nervous about how it would go after I saw how much chocolate torte was inside there!
A Magically Fall Cheesecake
Speaking of the cheesecake, we all know how deceptive cheesecake can be. Even though this little Mickey pumpkin may have looked a bit small on the plate, it packed a big flavor. If you’re not a fan of dense cheesecake, you’ll be happy to know that this one seemed to be on the lighter side. When I say light, I mean both texturally and flavor-wise. While it still had a definite richness to it (it is cheesecake, after all), the warm fall spices provided a perfect balance. In fact, I appreciated the overall level of spice. It was definitely not plain or boring. I’m happy to report this treat gave me the all the cozy autumn flavor I was seeking.
Would I Recommend?
I would highly recommend trying the Mickey Pumpkin Cheesecake during your fall visit to any of Disney’s All-Star Resorts. It was perfectly spiced, deliciously creamy, and not too rich. I wouldn’t say it’s a treat I would go out of my way for if I wasn’t already at one of the All-Star Resorts, however.
If you’re in the mood for a taste of fall and the All-Stars aren’t on the agenda, Disney has you covered! There are a number of other fall treats you can grab if you are staying (or visiting) elsewhere in Disney World this season.
Dining at Disney’s All-Star Resorts
Now that you’ve heard my thoughts on the Mickey Pumpkin Cheesecake, let’s go over a few details concerning the dining situation at Disney’s All-Star Resorts. Each All-Star Resort has its own food court as follows:
- End Zone Food Court at All-Star Sports
- Intermission Food Court at All-Star Music
- World Premiere Food Court at All-Star Movies
As we’ve discussed in previous articles covering quick service locations, food courts are designed for convenience and wide-ranging appeal. The advantage of this format is multiple stations serving up a variety of cuisine styles. You will usually find burgers, pizzas & flatbreads, pasta, chicken strips, and more. Compared to other quick service formats, food court-style locations are definitely designed to accommodate a larger number of guests.
For the most part, you will find a lot of the same menu items (or variations of them) available at all three All-Star Resort quick service locations. However, my opinion is that it’s still worth checking out the individual menus. My reasoning is because sometimes you actually can find unique items among them. Plus, these resorts are all within walking distance of each other. This makes it easy to head to any of their food courts. As a bonus, you can explore the colorful, larger than life theming of each along your way.
So what is the simplest way to check out the different menus? Personally, I find the easiest way to browse quick service menus is by using the Mobile Order feature on the Disney World app. Each location’s Mobile Order section shows full menus with color photos, descriptions, and pricing. I’m all about convenience!
