REVIEW: Forget the Hot Dogs. We're Trying the New DESSERT at This Magic Kingdom Restaurant

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back in Magic Kingdom!

2025 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

The special ticket after-hours event signals the beginning of the spooky season in Disney World, and we are here with our costumes ON! At this party, you can expect to find tons of special characters, rare parades, exclusive entertainment, low crowds, and so many limited-time snacks. We’re headed over to Casey’s Corner to try some of those limited-time treats right now.

When it comes to Halloween in Disney World, there are several things we love. The feeling of drinking an iced pumpkin chai on Main Street, U.S.A., the special decorations, and, of course, the limited-time food! During tonight’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party, we’re testing out tons of new and exclusive items like the Candy Corn Verrine at Casey’s Corner. Now, normally, we go here for the hot dogs. But what about dessert?

Casey’s Corner

The Candy Corn Verrine will cost you $5.99 and is made with layers of salted caramel ganache, marshmallow panna cotta, and whipped cream topped with caramel corn and candy corn. It’s brand new in 2025, and you can only grab it during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. You can see what Disney said it would look like below!

Well, it’s pretty darn close! It might be cute, but how does it taste? This dessert turned out to be a pleasant surprise, even for someone who isn’t a big candy corn fan. The bottom yellow layer is a rich salted caramel with just the right balance of sweetness and salt, making it the star of the dessert. Above it are two layers of panna cotta with a marshmallow-vanilla flavor and a thicker, jelly-like texture.

The combination works surprisingly well with the caramel’s depth, pairing nicely with the light, creamy panna cotta. It’s finished with whipped cream, candy corn pieces, and caramel corn, giving it a festive, photo-ready look. While it’s not overly sweet, it still hits the spot if you’re craving dessert.

It’s adorable!

This isn’t a must-get for everyone, but if you enjoy panna cotta or want something seasonal that’s not sugar overload, it’s a pretty and well-balanced option.

Yummmm!

In addition to the new Candy Corn Verrine, there are also some returning treats at Casey’s Corner including the Chipotle Barbecue Pork and Street Corn French Fries for $7.99, which are French fries topped with fire-roasted corn, queso fresco, jalapeño ranch, and cilantro. These are classic Disney fries, but the toppings take them up a notch. You also get a good topping per fry ratio, and honestly, these could seriously be a meal.

You can also get the Chipotle Barbecue Pork and Street Corn Mini Corn Dogs for $10.99, which are Mini corn dogs topped with fire-roasted corn, queso fresco, jalapeño ranch, and cilantro. We didn’t love this as much as the fries, but the flavors with the topping are delicious. The pork is tender and the queso fresco is OH, so creamy (plus you get a lot — and you know we love the cheese). Both of these snacks have a bit of spice, but trust us, it’s not overwhelming. The topping is also available on hot dogs, too!

These are just a few of the treats available at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! In fact, there are over 45 limited-time eats coming to the park for this annual celebration. This year’s party features several changes, like Mickey and Minnie meeting together in Town Square Theater!

You can also expect to find a more kid-friendly area in Storybook Circus because this area is getting a full makeover for the 2025 party. It will be transformed into a whimsical, family-friendly haunt, so think of bright colors, silly ghosts, low-key music, and age-appropriate decorations.
