"This Is Literally Fall in a Cupcake!" Disney's New Animal Kingdom Snack Is a 10/10

Disney World has started decorating for the holidays, but many of the yummy fall treats are still available!

Animal Kingdom winter decorations

Soon, we’ll be eating peppermint and all things red and green, but we’re still enjoying the flavors of fall. Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a cupcake appeared on October 16th, which is the perfect fall treat! Somehow, Disney managed to put every comforting fall flavor into one yummy snack.

Disney released the Pumpkin-Chai Cupcake at both Pizzafari and Restaurantosaurus for $6.29. We’ve seen similar cupcakes around the parks in past years, but this large dessert is worth stopping by for. It is made with pumpkin-spiced carrot cake, white chocolate-chai tea mousse, mocha buttercream, and caramelized apple filling — and it’s AMAZING.

Pumpkin-Chai Cupcake

This is literally fall in a cupcake. Disney managed to put together all these fall flavors into one delicious cupcake, and we’re totally here for it. If you grab a forkful of every element, you’ll taste the amazing flavors all together in a way that works beautifully. But each part of it is certainly great on its own, too.

It’s SO cute!

The chocolate-chai tea mousse has a perfect balance of white chocolate and chai. The spices and sweetness work so well together in a way we were pleasantly surprised with! The apple filling tastes just like apple pie, and while the buttercream seems like it will be overwhelming, it isn’t. The cake is moist and tastes more like just a pumpkin spice cake rather than a carrot cake with pumpkin spice. There are no crunchy bits of carrot in there; it’s a soft and smooth cake.

Everything goes so well together!

This treat is pretty large and tall, so it can be a bit difficult to eat. We suggest sitting down with a fork or spoon and sharing it might be a good option because there’s a lot there! If you walk and try to eat this, it will likely topple over and be really messy (we speak from experience 😅). But don’t let the messiness of this cupcake deter you; it’s a fantastic fall treat to grab while you still can!

It’s large, messy, and AMAZING

Soon, we’ll be tasting our way through all the new holiday treats in Disney World, but while these fall snacks are still available, be sure to check them out!
