You may think it is still summer based on the temperatures in your neck of the woods. Or perhaps you are in one of those states where the kiddos have already started heading back to the classroom. In Florida, though, the Halloween decorations have already gone up, and the first of the “Disney After Hours Boo Bash” parties takes place tonight (August 10!).



Among the merchandise/snack treat crossovers coming soon will be the Mickey Mummy Popcorn Bucket.  And we here at DisneyBizJournal are especially looking forward to trying the Haunted Mansion cake at Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs a little later in the season.

 

At the Magic Kingdom, some of the goodies are Boo Bash exclusives, while the other parks and Resorts have treats that are available all season.  If you are among the guests making their way to Disney World in the coming weeks, here’s a list of the seasonal goodies you can sample as the fall celebrations begin.
