When we were there today, in DCA at the pizza place they had a sign of for keeping away vampires pizza, chicken with roasted garlic. Sounds good.
I'm excited about the Skeleton dance popcorn bucket and mug , and Zero's bucket !

So many things to eat! I really want to try the blue cheese burger at Hungry Bear. I really like the one at Taste Pilots but this one is a little different. The buffalo chicken pizza sounds good too and also the cobweb burger at Taste Pilots. I always have to get a Mint Julep but I may have to get the raspberry lemonade instead. Or maybe DH can get that and I'll taste it :D. How am I going to eat all the new things and the regular things I want to eat too? So many decisions.

Do we know what ice cream nachos are? I don't remember that from previous years, but I may have just not seen them :-)

My sentiments exactly. I guess they do want passholders to come back often. Hmmm....

As a kid, my dad wanted to maximize the value our annual visits by going on as many rides as possible, and minimize the costs by making us eat lunch from home in the parking lot out of a cooler. This seemed perfectly normal to me growing up.

The first year I got my annual pass I was in college, and didn't have a car, so I only went when one of my floor mates (who also had a pass) was going. She introduced me to all of the food offerings at Disneyland. I think I spent my first year as a passholder eating my way through Disneyland. I think limited time food offerings are a great way to maximize getting passholders to spend money they might not otherwise without impacting the less frequent park goers. I now have several restaurants on my "to eat at" list that I can't recall when I ate their last. And by spreading out the offerings it makes me want to go and eat multiple times.

@currence - good point, though I bet we'll still get the "management thinks APs don't spend enough" rant. It would be a neat exercise to see how many food choices are selected by passholders or how many go for the standard dogs, burgers, fries, pizza. I finally got my boys to try and like the asparagus skewer at Bengal and they went and raised the price (ugh!). I look forward to HalloweenTime visits thought not as frequent as I would like. Bummer is definitely that I am the sole passholder in my house, so its difficult to try all of the items without bloating your way through the day. If i had more in my party we could share bites.

No kidding. I can't remember if it was the night time special events like the Soundsational ones or if it was the 24 hour event 2 years ago, but we went chasing after a lot of the special food being offered. Glad the mac and cheese dog is on the regular menu at Coke Corner, but I really wish they'd bring back the yummy cherry pie at Stage Door from the 24 hour event!

Dunno what to tell you. I like it. I've put chopped up hot dogs in my mac and cheese before, so I figured I'd like this. Oh, and I think it's actually a bacon mac and cheese dog. It's been a while since I've had one.

Oh, and I think it's actually a bacon mac and cheese dog. It's been a while since I've had one.It's the normal hot dog, topped with macaroni and cheese and then topped with bacon bits (which are really more like shredded bacon IMHO). You can order them without the bacon if you want.

We haven't been to the Hungry Bear in years, but went yesterday because we wanted to try something new. I had the Blue Cheese and Onion Marmalade burger. It was actually quite good! It is served on ciabatta bread rather than a traditional bun. It was a bit too much onion for me, so I took most of it off, but the sandwich was enjoyable. You can get it with fries or slaw. We also ordered the apple pie funnel cake (I believe the sign said it was caramel apple funnel cake). We each cut off a small piece, decided it was waaaaay too sweet for us, and gave it to the table of teenagers next to us. They devoured it. Just a note: I would advise being prepared to look at your phone or take a list of where the seasonal food offerings are available. I think if you were there without having read something like this thread, you could easily miss it.

Yes, they have the Oreo mousse coffin cake and the Shrimp Po Boy back this year. IMHO, that coffin cake needs to stay IN the coffin - the white chocolate mousse is just too much.

Here are some of mine, hopefully other people can share theirs.

That green and blue ooze is just nasty looking. Reminds me of the committed ketchup they used to have that my kids wouldn't touch.
