On my most recent visit to Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort my boyfriend and I stopped in Amorette’s Patisserie to grab a sweet treat in between enjoying all of the shopping and entertainment that Disney Springs has to offer! We tried the Mickey Mousse, a Chocolate Chiffon Cake with Dark Chocolate Mousse and White Chocolate Mousse in the shape of Mickey Mouse! The presentation was incredible and the best part… it tasted incredible too!
While we were inside Amorette’s Patisserie a cast member handed us a brochure for WonderFall Flavors at Disney Springs! This event is a first for Disney Springs this year! I hadn’t heard about this new event yet and I was so excited by the idea! I am a huge fan of the Epcot festivals such as the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. While this is not quite the same thing, for example the Epcot festivals all have smaller sample size portions and this event features full-size offerings. I predict maybe in the future Disney Springs will start doing more of these type of events, and maybe adapt their own form of a food and wine festival!
Many Disney Springs dining locations are participating in this fun little food festival by creating an autumn inspired dish! Offerings range from harvest tacos, to pumpkin desserts, to hard ciders and autumn-inspired cocktails! There is something for everyone! This festive autumn celebration includes over 14 restaurants and quick service locations throughout Disney Springs! The event began on September 7th and will run through November 6th 2017.

Fall-Inspired Hard Ciders at Dockside Margaritas and Select Outdoor Vending Carts

- Angry Orchard Rosé Cider: Made with rare, red flesh apples from France. Each apple is crisp, juicy and red to the core, adding an irresistible rosy blush and apple-forward taste with a refreshing dry finish.
- Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen: Rich, amber-golden color. Deep, inviting, malty nose and bready, wonderful flavor that’s an ode to barley. Medium to big body, with a touch of warming alcohol on the finish.
- Margarita Cider by 3 Daughters Brewing:Â Hard cider blended with lime juice and sea salt then aged in tequila barrels for a festive and unique flavor. This semi-sweet apple cider is tart and refreshing and perfect for Florida.
- Pumpking Imperial Ale by Southern Tier Brewing Co.:Â This beer gives off hints of pumpkin pie and spice aromas on the nose. Huge flavors of genuine pumpkin pie, nutmeg, and cinnamon come through with a rich and creamy, yet crisp taste.
- Samuel Adams OctoberFest: The first thing you notice when pouring this seasonal beer is the color. It has a deep golden amber hue which itself is reflective of the fall season. A malt lover’s dream, this beer offers a delicious harmony of flavors.
