If Halloween is your favorite holiday, then you’re in luck because this week Disney is celebrating Halfway to Halloween! On April 28th, we will be exactly halfway to Halloween, so to celebrate, we’re getting some limited time treats, a Hocus Pocus watch party, some at-home activities, and the promise of some exciting new announcements!
Even Gideon’s Bakehouse is getting in on the Halfway to Halloween fun with some new items, only available for a few days!
Gideon’s Bakehouse is pulling out all the stops for this year’s Halfway to Halloween (they also participated last year), and they recently shared on Instagram what we can expect this week.
Beginning on Thursday, April 28th, all four and six cookie boxes (at both Gideon’s locations!) will include one of 16 trading cards. The trading cards are given out completely at random. Also, guests waiting in line at the Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs will be given an exclusive Halfway to Halloween trading card, only available from Thursday to Sunday while supplies last.
The trading cards will continue even after Halfway to Halloween is over, so you’ll be able to head back to Gideon’s again and again to build your collection, especially if you want to get all of them! Also beginning Thursday, you’ll be able to purchase a Gideon’s binder to store all of your new trading cards. The binder will be available both in-store and online.
As if that wasn’t enough, there will also be in-store exclusive merchandise during Halfway to Halloween and of course, the limited-time treat offerings! We’ve already shared that there will be three new items at Gideon’s during Halfway to Halloween: Pumpkin Spice Shadow Cakes, Frankenstein Cake Slices, and Valentina Cake (yum!!).
We’ll be heading to Gideon’s later this week to try all of the Halfway to Halloween items, so make sure to stay tuned to DFB for our reviews!
