We’ve been trying all kinds of holiday treats around Disney World lately!
We’ve tried a hidden holiday bar you can’t miss, a tempting snack you should actually SKIP, and a mocha fudge-filled cupcake, and we’re so excited to tell you we’ve found another delicious treat. This one’s over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
The Mara Pumpkin Patch treat is made with pumpkin mousse and cranberry gelée. You can grab it at The Mara for $5.79.
It comes in a protective box (a pretty big one too!), and the treat itself looks like a patch of pumpkins, with some “dirt” underneath it to make it look a little more realistic.
We think this treat tastes like Thanksgiving! We love that we can taste the pumpkin and cranberry individually, but they blend nicely together as well. However, the cranberry isn’t smooth, as it has pieces of fruit inside the gelée. So if you’re not a fan of pieces of fruit inside desserts, this one may not be for you.
This delicious treat is slightly on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind too. Overall, if you’re looking for something that tastes like Thanksgiving and you love pumpkin and cranberry flavors, you’ve gotta make the drive over to the resort to grab it. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is over near Animal Kingdom (of course), so it’s a pretty long trek if you’re not already at that park or staying at the resort. Still, we thought this treat is worth the trip!
There are plenty more delicious holiday-themed desserts around the resort to try, and we’re giving you reviews on all of them so you know what’s worth your time and money. If you’re over on the west coast, we’re also giving you reviews of all the Festival of Holidays booths, so keep an eye on DFB for all the latest reviews.
