It’s absolutely heartbreaking to leave Disney World after your vacation. That feeling when you exit the park for the last time on that trip and then pack up your suitcase and board the plane home…it’s not fun. So we know we’re not the only ones who dream about living in Disney World all the time! We don’t want to go! Although you can’t live in the Cinderella Castle, Disney actually has built a few different communities where people really can live. And they’re working on building even MORE residential communities right now! In fact, they recently broke ground on the NEW Cotino community! But surely living in a Disney-owned neighborhood doesn’t come cheap, right? So exactly how much could it cost to live in Cotino (a Storyliving by Disney community)? We did some research, and we’ve got a pretty good guess. Disney announced that they are building new master-planned communities in several different places in the country. This project is called Storyliving by Disney. The first of these new communities is called Cotino, and it’s going to be built in Rancho Mirage, California. Disney broke ground on this development on April 26th of this year, although certain aspects of the construction were already underway. Cotino ©Disney According to Disney’s website, Cotino will have “a range of home types to choose from, including condominiums and single-family homes.” There will be a neighborhood designed specifically for adults ages 55 and up. The concept of this kind of development is to mix up different kinds of housing and commercial locations in order to create a stronger, more connected sense of community. ©Disney We’ve seen some concept art for Cotino, and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful place to live. There are all kinds of amenities and special perks promised to those who will call this place home. But Disney hasn’t released many specifics about the COST to live in this community. We’re assuming the price will be high (a Disney-owned master-planned community is bound to be expensive), but exactly how high are we talking? Cotino clubhouse concept art ©Disney To get an idea of the potential price, we’re taking a look first at some previous and existing Disney-owned communities. Then, we’ll examine some other master-planned communities in America as well as current home prices in Rancho Mirage specifically. With all of these factors, we should be able to get a good idea of the prices we might see on the upcoming Cotino homes. A Look at Disney’s Existing Communities Golden Oak Golden Oak is a neighborhood owned by Disney that is actually located inside Disney World (it’s not far from the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort). It’s a quick 10-minute drive to Magic Kingdom from this community, which was first announced in 2010. ©Golden Oak, Disney The first homes were sold in 2010 as well, and they did NOT come cheap. Currently, the starting price for homes in Golden Oak is around $2 million, according to Florida Today. And those homes can actually cost up to at least $16 million, according to our research on various real estate sites! ©Orlando Sentinel But the home itself isn’t the only cost to live in this community. Brochures from 2021 show that there’s a required annual club membership that costs $19,000 per year. When grouped with HOA fees and maintenance fees, the annual charges can cost between $26,000 and $30,000 total per year, depending on which neighborhood you live in within the community (CNET). ©Golden Oak, Disney Granted, there are a lot of perks that come with living in Golden Oak. Residents here can reserve tickets for special events in Disney World and schedule private VIP tours in the parks. Cast Members will help them book dining reservations, spa treatments, golf tee times, and more for their visits to the parks and resorts. And Cast Members will also provide services for in-home dinners and parties, even helping out with holiday decorations. ©Golden Oak, Disney The community provides residents with transportation to the parks; access to DVC lounges; and discounts on shopping, dining, and tickets. There are several pools and fitness centers, a few different restaurants, and other concierge services. Landscaping is taken care of, and internet services are also provided. In short, Golden Oak is a very luxurious place to live. ©Golden Oak, Disney Is this what we can expect at Cotino? …Not exactly. For one thing, Cotino isn’t located within a Disney World Resort. The closest Disney park is Disneyland, which is a 2-hour drive away. And while Golden Oak is essentially a neighborhood of mansions, Cotino will have a variety of housing styles, including condos. So while Golden Oak is a good example of a successful Disney community, a closer comparison to the new planned communities might be Disney’s “failed” New Urbanist project, Celebration. Celebration Celebration is a New Urbanist-style community that Disney founded in 1996. The community includes various styles of homes (including single-family homes and condos), several houses of worship, 2 grade schools, a branch of a university, a public library, and all kinds of shops, hotels, and businesses. ©The Daily Beast These different elements are all linked by miles of walking trails and boardwalks, and there are over 40 public parks in the area as well. In short, this isn’t an exclusive neighborhood of luxurious mansions. It was meant to be more of a community where people lived their normal lives rather than a series of fancy vacation homes. ©Insider According to US Census data, about 8,540 residents lived in Celebration in 2017, and they reported a median yearly income of $83,228. The median property value in this neighborhood was $401,600 (ClickOrlando). ©Orlando Sentinel Clearly, Celebration is much more affordable than Golden Oak. But this community could also be considered a “failure” by Disney since the company sold Celebration to a private equity firm in 2004. Several issues within the community may have prompted this change, or it’s possible that Disney simply wasn’t making the return on investment that they expected from the project. ©Orlando Sentinel Celebration sounds much more like the concept for Cotino, with a variety of residential areas mixed in with businesses, restaurants, and other community essentials. But if Celebration can be considered one of Disney’s “failures,” why are they trying again with Cotino? How Storyliving by Disney Communities Will Be Different It seems like Disney is jumping all-in with the New Urbanism trend, despite the issues at Celebration. But the Storyliving by Disney communities could be different from anything we’ve seen from Disney before. Cotino concept art ©Disney We need to note here that there’s nothing very “new” about New Urbanism, although the concept is fairly trendy among urban planners right now. It focuses on building walkable, pedestrian-friendly communities with a variety of residential and commercial locations mixed together in a neighborhood. Essentially, people want to live in places with lots of amenities and easily accessible community areas without the perceived danger or potential dirtiness of big cities. ©CNU Many successful New Urbanist communities exist in the US right now, with some of the earliest prototypes for this model being built in the 1980s, though the phrase “New Urbanism” wasn’t coined until 1991 (according to the Congress for New Urbanism). So Disney isn’t really doing anything groundbreakingly new with Storyliving by Disney neighborhoods. They’re just putting their spin on a normal New Urbanist community. ©CNU But that’s what Celebration was meant to do, right? So how will Cotino be different? First of all, Celebration was built towards the beginning of the concept of New Urbanism. In the 1990s (when Celebration was built), the concept was still very new, and not many communities had utilized it yet. Now, Disney has the benefit of a few decades of research on the subject, as well as many more models to examine in their creation of the new community. ©Disney The company that will be working with Disney on this project — DMB Development — also has several other successful New Urbanist neighborhoods, which can help guide the developers as they plan for this new project. ©DMB Development In addition, Celebration was actively trying to create a different time period. That can be part of the general New Urbanism philosophy (returning to a time of stronger local communities rather than sprawling suburbs and dense cities), but now we’ve seen from other examples that these neighborhoods can still be distinctly modern. Trying to bring back a sentimental bygone era may have hurt Celebration because the illusion of perfection is bound to be broken at some point. ©CNU With the first serious issues within Celebration (such as reported murders in the area), the illusion was broken, which tugged at the foundation of the community. In contrast, Cotino (Disney’s new community) seems to be more straightforward as a normal, liveable neighborhood rather than a recreation of the past or another Disney park. Cotino ©Disney In short, Cotino is different because there is a lot more research available now about New Urbanism and what it takes to make the concept successful, and this new community isn’t trying to become something unattainable or create an illusion. Home Prices in Other New Urbanist Communities We’ve taken a look at communities built by Disney, but another indication of the potential price could be the prices for homes in New Urbanist communities other than those developed by Disney. The prices of course vary depending on location and how new the developments are, but we found some similar areas that could give us a good idea. ©DMB Developments DMB Development (the third-party business working with Disney to build and help manage Cotino) has several other communities both in and out of California. One of these is DC Ranch, located in Scottsdale Arizona. This location is not affiliated with Disney at all, but it does have a variety of home styles, similar to what we expect to see in Cotino. ©DMB Developments At this location, we found that most houses cost more than $1 million. There were some smaller houses available in the community that started at around $700,000, but we only saw 2 listings for homes that cost under a million dollars. The upper range for home prices was about $5 million. ©DMB Developments Another DMB Development community is Silverleaf, also located in Arizona. This one had a higher range, with most homes beginning at $3 million and several estates priced at $12 million and above. ©DMB Developments At Laderna Ranch, a DMB Development community has homes beginning at around $700,000, with most falling between that and $2 million. This neighborhood has some condos as well, which were generally just under $700,000. ©DMB Developments Looking beyond DMB Development, we found a community in California called Playa Vista, which had apartments to rent for between $3,500 and $5,000 per month. This community generally had lower prices than what we saw for the DMB Development ones, so it may not be quite as good an indication of the potential prices for Cotino. Playa Vista was, however, located fairly close to Rancho Mirage, so it may be a better indicator for real estate prices in the area. ©Playa Vista Even in areas that aren’t known for high real estate prices, the cost for most homes in New Urbanist neighborhoods is usually around $800,000 and higher, while townhomes and condos generally start at around $300,000. ©Norton Commons We found this to be true in another successful New Urbanist community called Norton Commons, located in Kentucky (Garrets Reality). ©Garretts Reality In general, prices for New Urbanist neighborhoods are higher than the cost of homes in other areas. Prices in other communities can give us an idea of what homes in Cotino might cost, so let’s combine all of our research and look at the big picture. So How Much Could It Cost to Live in Cotino? The $1 million question (if not more) is how much it will really cost to live in Cotino. Based on prices at other New Urbanist communities, we’re estimating that single-family homes could cost between $800,000 and $3 million, depending on size and location within the community. Most homes will probably in the higher range, as we saw in other DMB Developments. ©Disney Cotino will include other kinds of homes too, like condos and potentially townhouses as well. These could cost much less than single-family homes, although we did see condos for over $600,000 in some DMB communities. Our estimate for these smaller residences would be between $500,000 and $800,000. ©Disney Our estimates also took into account the real estate market in Rancho Mirage. We checked Zillow (an online real estate tool) for houses in the Rancho Mirage area (not in Cotino itself), and most homes cost more than $700,000. Many were at least $1 million. With that in mind, it’s very possible that the homes in Cotino will be even more expensive than our current estimate since New Urbanist communities tend to have significantly higher prices than other neighborhoods. ©Disney The cost of a home may not be the only expense for those looking to live in Cotino. Remember that Golden Oak had all kinds of other fees and membership requirements, which amounted to about $26,000 per year. We’re not expecting the same cost at Cotino, since this new community isn’t a neighborhood of vacation mansions located inside Disney World. But we do know that there will be “a voluntary club membership” available at Cotino. ©Disney Specifically, Disney said the membership “offers access to a waterfront clubhouse, a club-only beach area and recreational water activities, as well as Disney entertainment and activities throughout the year at an additional fee. Club Membership, programming, and access and use of future proposed amenities and offerings, will require payment of dues and/or fees and be subject to additional terms and conditions, which will be set by the owner of the club.” They did not mention what the fee would be, but it seems like it’ll cost extra if you want to really take advantage of all that Cotino has to offer. Something Else to Consider Another important thing to note about the new community Cotino is that Disney is involved in the development, but they’re not going at it alone. On the website, it specifically notes that “Disney is not the developer of Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney community or the builder or seller of homes within Storyliving by Disney communities; third-parties developing and building are independently owned and operated.” ©Disney One of the third-party developers that will be heavily involved in Cotino’s development is DMB Development, which (as we mentioned before) already manages several successful New Urbanist communities. ©DMB Development Cotino will, however, be managed by Disney Cast Members, which is why Disney says that residents can expect a high-end level of service. ©Disney In addition, Walt Disney Imagineers are working together with DMB Development to design and plan the community, bringing the same level of detail to this neighborhood that you can find at the Disney parks. It’s meant to be a Disney-quality community rather than a theme park experience. Learn more about Cotino here! Overall, we’re standing by our estimate of $800,000 to $3 million for single-family homes and around $500,000 to $800,000 for townhouses or condos. Based on real estate prices in the area and other similar developments, these prices seem about on par with the current trends! And there will likely be other required fees, in addition to the optional club membership already announced. Disney has not yet announced any actual prices for this community, and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear the actual cost. And with the ever changing housing market, we could, of course, see a shift in housing prices as a whole before pricing is finalized. We will continue to monitor this community and pricing and will update you if anything shifts. Keep following DFB for more of the latest Disney news!

It’ll still be QUITE some time before anyone hops on a Brightline train to go from Orlando International Airport to Disney World, but some progress on this future transportation method is being made. ©Brightline Last year, things came to a stop and decisions regarding the train’s route from the airport to Disney World were indefinitely delayed. But things have started to move forward and a special plan has been proposed that would include a shared space between Brightline and SunRail. Now, things look like they’re continuing to move forward. A Quick Recap Before we dive into the update, we wanted to provide a quick recap. Some time ago, it was announced that a Brightline train would connect Orlando International Airport and Disney World, with a station at Disney Springs. The train’s path will then continue to Tampa. But what path will the train take from Orlando’s airport to Disney World? That is the big question. Two routes had previously been proposed — one that would piggyback on State Road 417 through Hunters Creek, and another route which would go along State Road 528 to International Drive. Potential Routes ©Brightline | Obtained via the Orlando Sentinel Brightline preferred the State Road 417 route. That one had an estimated cost of $1.03 billion. The State Road 528 route was estimated to cost $2.1 billion, but it would go through I-Drive, a portion of Orlando that is home to lots of tourist attractions. Various entities and organizations, including Universal Orlando Resort, began to push for the I-Drive route. Ultimately, back in July of 2021, the Central Florida Expressway Authority indefinitely delayed a decision about Brightline’s path from the airport to Disney World. Map Overlaid ©Brightline| Orlando Business Journal | Map4News Thereafter, a possible solution arose. Following a number of meetings, a potential path emerged called the “Sunshine Corridor Program.” Under this program, there would be a corridor for SunRail’s commuter trains that would lead from the airport to SunRail’s existing north-south tracks. The path would then go through the Orange County Convention Center and south International Drive. Brightline would lease the rights to use that east-west SunRail corridor, and then would be responsible for building its own tracks from Disney World to Tampa. ©Brightline Train This option became more of a reality due to the passage of the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. The bill provides for billions to be spent in passenger and freight rail over the next several years. But things aren’t done yet. Decisions still need to be made to lock down the exact path for funding applications, confirm that route, confirm the stations, invite Disney World and the Transportation Department into meetings to get everything set up, and then potentially tap into those federal funds to get things done. Click here to read more about this Sunshine Corridor Program So what is happening now? The Update According to The Orlando Business Journal, the Volusia County Council is planning to discuss this idea for a shared corridor with SunRail and Brightline. Their meeting is scheduled for May 3rd and it will focus on “forming a direction and the potential for a letter to the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission” regarding that Sunshine Corridor plan. SunRail is the existing rail service in Florida. It operates over 49 miles and has 16 stations through Volusia, Seminole, Orange, and Osceola counties. ©SunRail Volusia County has a seat on the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission. Representatives from the city of Orlando as well as Osceola, Orange, and Seminole counties are also on that Commuter Rail Commission. That Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission will be meeting on May 5th, so the Volusia County Council will be meeting ahead of that. A spokesperson for Volusia County said it’s too early to comment. The agenda for the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission’s meeting has not yet been released. ©Brightline As noted above, the Sunshine Corridor proposal would allow the “commuter rail system to operate seven days a week and share a corridor in the International Drive area along State Road 528.” SunRail would connect with the Orlando Airport, the Orange County Convention Center, and Disney World. Brightline would lease the route and then connect its route over to Tampa. ©Brightline So what happens next? Individuals will have to determine the costs for the corridor as well as any requirements that must be met to apply for grants. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings had said, “I am hopeful we can build a transportation system that meets the need of not only Orange County residents, but benefits all of Central Florida.” Demings has also made comments about a potential for the train to travel along a route to Apopka. That’s tied with Orange County’s potential sales tax increase for transportation. Brightline Trains In November, this proposal will go before voters. If it’s approved, the penny sales tax increase is expected to “generate roughly $600 million per year to go toward transit and infrastructure improvements.” On the SunRail side, responsibility for the system is being fully transferred from the Florida Department of Transportation to “the local government partners.” That’s expected to take place in 2024. ©Brightline So things are moving forward, but they still have a ways to go.

Disney’s Halfway to Halloween event has brought some sinister vibes to both Disney World and Disneyland! ©Disney For a limited time, park guests can experience some Halloween treats in celebration of being halfway to Halloween! And one treat, in particular, requires caution, as it may put you under a spell! The Hocus Pocus “Amuck” Cakes are returning to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa until May 1st, 2022! We’ve tried this treat in the past, and really enjoyed it! Hocus Pocus Cakes The cakes are rich devil’s food cake with “peanut boo-tter” filling decorated to resemble all three Sanderson Sisters, and are available for $7.99. And, of course, we tried it again to bring you a new review! Hocus Pocus Cupcakes These cupcakes were just as yummy as we remember them! They were short, sweet, and to the point. The ratio of cake to filling to frosting was perfect, and the mousse inside was the perfect density for us: not to thick, but not falling apart! Yum! The peanut butter flavor was super strong in these, which is great news for PB fans! If you’re not crazy about peanut butter, then you might want to skip this one. Tons of Peanut Butter inside! If you love a good peanut butter and chocolate combo, then give this treat a try before it goes away! This spooky treat will only be available for a short time, so be sure to grab these cakes before they’re gone! And, as always, check back here for the latest Disney news!

When it comes to shopping, there’s a little something for EVERYONE at Disney Springs. Disney Springs You want to buy chocolate? Visit the Ganachery. You need a fun greeting card? Head to LovePop. You want to indulge in some bath and body products? Basin is for you! There’s even a shop for soccer fans, Pele Soccer, which is looking a little different these days. Pele Soccer is THE shop to go for if you need soccer gear. If you happen to visit it at Disney Springs now, though, you’re going to notice that it’s changed. Here’s what it looked like before: Before Here’s what it looks like now! What a difference! The green really pops! We also noticed that the shop even has a new logo. What’s that sign say? However, this vibrant makeover seems to be just the beginning. There’s a sign in front of the shop to let guests know that it’s temporarily closed while it gets a “fresh new look.” Sign in front of Pele Soccer We have no idea what else is changing at the store, but we’re liking what we see so far — we wonder if the inside is getting a green upgrade, too? We’ll have to keep an eye on it to see what else is changing. So if you happen to need soccer gear, keep in mind that this store is temporarily closed — at least for the time being. We’ll let you know when it reopens, though, so stay tuned to DFB for more. Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

Connections Cafe and Eatery is officially open in EPCOT! Connections Eatery The new quick service spot is also home to the park’s new Starbucks location, and we got to check it out when it soft-opened last week. We gave you a full tour of the Cafe as well as a full review of and look at the Eatery. One of the things we tried at both places was the new Liege Waffle, and now, we just found out some really interesting info on the treat! The Pastry Culinary Director at Walt Disney World, Stefan Riemer, recently posted on Instagram about the new Liege Waffle at Connections Cafe and Eatery in EPCOT. We’ve tried the waffle, but now we know even more details about how it’s made! Liege Waffle Chef Riemer calls the Liege Waffle “a game changer” because they batch out fresh Brioche dough, press it in Pearl sugar, and then bake it in a cast iron to create that caramelized but flaky waffle. It’s then topped with fresh strawberries, vanilla whipped cream, and chocolate sauce at Connections Eatery, or you can have it all on its own at Connections Cafe. @chefstefanriemer via Instagram The chef then goes on to talk about how the Liege Waffle is different from a Belgian Waffle, and how they’re both different from a Mickey Waffle! He says the Liege Waffle is the most technical of the three, because the dough has to be fermented and tempered to get to the perfect texture. @chefstefanriemer via Instagram The different between all waffles are ingredients and the leavening, according to Chef Riemer, and the “hidden star” is a quality yeast that’s a key ingredient in Belgium, since “they brew one of the best beers in the world.” Both Liege and Belgian waffles originate from Belgium. What a beauty Who knew waffles could be so complex?! And, we’re glad for it, because it means we get to eat ALL of the different kinds of waffles around Disney World. We could definitely taste the caramelization of the sugar on the waffles we tried, and they are truly a delicious dessert, snack, or breakfast option. You can check out Chef Riemer’s full post below!

For those of us who can’t ALWAYS be in the parks at Disney World, we find the nostalgia WHEREVER we can get it! Miss you… From binge-watching Disney+ to scouring new merch on shopDisney to recreating Disney recipes, there are LOADS of ways we can bring the Disney magic when we’re at home! Another fun way to get nostalgic is with some good ol’ fashioned Disney trivia! Psst EPCOT was almost a LOT different A great way to pretend you’re in the parks AND test your knowledge of all things Disney, we put together some fun Disney trivia questions, from park history to movie lore! So let’s see how much you know! Question When did Walt Disney Studios’ first full-length film come out? Was it one of these? And what was it? Answer Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937! Snow White! It’s a classic that stands the test time, as evidenced by the fact that Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is routinely the longest line in Disney World! Question Before there was Mickey Mouse, what character was Walt Disney’s FIRST animation? Mickey Mouse water painting Hint: it wasn’t Minnie, either! Answer Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! You guys — it’s OSWALD! He’s cute and all, but let’s just say we’re glad we get to dine at Chef Mickey’s and not…Chef Oswald’s. Question How many square miles is Disney World? You’re gonna need some maps Let’s just say it’s BIG. Answer About 40 square miles! Animal Kingdom map For context, that’s twice the size of Manhattan! Question What did EPCOT originally stand for? Spaceship Earth Ya know, before it was conceptualized as a theme park? Answer Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It’s come a long way! Between the HOT new rides and outta this world restaurants, EPCOT has come a LONG way since its original vision as a futuristic living community! Question What is the fastest ride in Disney World? Hint: it isn’t this Some go slow, and some go FAST. Answer Test Track! Test Track Outpacing the likes of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster and Space Mountain, this EPCOT attraction zooms to a speed of 65 mph! Question What was the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars? The Oscars billboard in Disney Springs Hint: Toy Story 3 and Up were the only other two animated movies to earn the same nomination. Answer Beauty and the Beast! Movie stars! It was nominated for six awards at the 1992 Oscars, losing Best Picture to the decidedly NON-Disney film, The Silence of the Lambs. Question What were the first words Mickey Mouse was animated to say? Mickey Mouse tank top Hint: it wasn’t “oh gosh!” Answer Hot dogs! Mickey is clearly a fan of Casey’s Corner Weirdly enough, his first word wasn’t “waffle!” Or “Dole Whip!” Question What is the highest grossing animated Disney film? AMC Disney Springs And how much do you think it MADE? Answer Frozen 2! Elsa The 2019 sequel was a HUGE hit, earning $1.45 billion at the global box office! Question How many happy haunts reside in The Haunted Mansion? Looks like a good time tbh It’s a pretty big mansion, after all. Answer 999! Room for one more! But there’s room for 1,000… Question How many hotel rooms are in Disney World? Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Friendly reminder that Disney World is TWICE the size of Manhattan. Answer 36,000! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort lobby Across 25 resorts, that’s enough rooms for you and 35,999 of your closest friends! Question What is Disney’s private island called? Mickey Mouse on his own private island It’s our FAVORITE stop on a Disney cruise! Answer Castaway Cay! Castaway Cay It’s a 1,000-acre island in the Caribbean, but only about 55 of those acres are actually developed by Disney. Castaway Cay So how’d you do? Are you a Disney PRO? Or do you need another Disney vacation to refresh your memory?! Twist our arms… The History Behind Some of Your FAVORITE Disney Parks Snacks!

Earlier this week, Disney announced that it would be celebrating Halfway to Halloween both in the parks and with events that guests can take part in at home. We’ve already heard some BIG announcements for this event, including the return of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World! Spooky Season!! We’ve also seen a look at some upcoming Halloween merchandise, checked out Halloween parties coming to other parks, and gushed over Mickey & Minnie’s new costumes for Disneyland’s spooky event. In addition to all the announcements, Disney is holding a virtual Hocus Pocus viewing party and has also released special digital wallpapers! And as if that weren’t enough, there are some limited-time treats available in Disney World to celebrate Halfway to Halloween. Let’s take a look at a few of these delicious options now. Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs is already pretty spooky year-round, making it the perfect place to celebrate Halloween in April. For a limited time, you will be able to snag 3 Halloween treats at this spot! Gideon’s Bakehouse Beginning April 28th and lasting until May 1st, you can get Pumpkin Spice Shadow Cakes, a Frankenstein Cake Slice, or the Valentina Cake. We’ve already tried out that Frankenstein Cake (it was here for Halloween last year!), and we know it’s a cookies ‘n’ cream–lover’s DREAM. Frankenstein Cake This cake is a 3-layer chocolate cake covered in cookies ‘n’ cream buttercream and loaded with M&Ms. You can only get it Thursday through Sunday in Disney Springs. Check out our full review of the Frankenstein Cake here! So today we’re heading into the Springs to try out the other 2 limited-time options. Let’s go in! The Pumpkin Spice Shadow Cake is a brand-new, limited-edition flavor. It’s a chocolate-dipped spice cake with a pumpkin buttercream filling between the 2 cake layers. You can get 2 mini-cakes per person, but you’ll want to hurry! Gideon’s is only selling 200 per day. Pumpkin Spice Shadow Cake The flavors from pumpkin icing, spice cake, and chocolate ganache all work together really well in this treat. But be warned: It’s VERY sweet! The dense cake and thick layer of buttercream make it perfect for those with a massive sweet tooth but maybe a little too much if you’re looking for a more subtle dessert. SUPER sweet! In our experience, we usually prefer Gideon’s cookies or cake slices to their shadow cakes. Still, we’re excited to find pumpkin-flavored treats in Disney World, even if it’s only for a short time! You can try the shadow cakes for $7 each. Yum! ⁣⁣⁣And the other new offering is the Valentina Cake. This is a classic red velvet cake covered in light and fluffy cookies ‘n’ cream marshmallow buttercream. There’s a limit of 2 per person, and they’re only available this Thursday through Sunday. Valentina’s Cake Like the other cake, this treat is best for those with a sweet tooth! The frosting is delicious, with actual cookies mixed in. And there’s almost as much frosting as there is cake. Surprisingly, when you eat the buttercream with the cake, it’s not actually too sweet (but we still definitely couldn’t finish the whole thing in one sitting!). So good! The classic red velvet flavor blends well with the buttercream, although the dominant flavor is definitely the cookies ‘n’ cream frosting. You can grab a slice for $9. Best for those with a sweet tooth In addition to the new cakes, every 4- and 6-cookie box will come with 1 of 16 exclusive trading cards specific to Halfway to Halloween, plus a bonus card for those waiting in line! ©Gideon’s trading cards Hurry in to Gideon’s Bakehouse if you want to try these treats! They’re only around for a little while. As always, make sure to keep reading DFB for more Disney food reviews and news. Check out another Halfway to Halloween treat in Disney World here!
