“The first of a cauldron full of Halfway to Halloween surprises will materialize later this morning from the kitchens of Disney Parks. We’re unearthing some dreadfully delicious Halloween-inspired eats and treats at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort,” Disney said on its blog.

During the limited time event, guests can try a Sister’s Elixir hot cocoa bomb at The Ganachery, pumpkin or Frankenstein cake slices at Gideon’s Bakehouse, Hocus Pocus “Amuck” cakes at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or grab a Mickey Mummy (available at Disney Springs) or Jack Skellington (available at Magic Kingdom) popcorn bucket.

Many of the food items are available through May 1.
