The Disney Parks TikTok account has released a video showing that rides at Disneyland have started to cycle! @disneyparks Our excitement as we get closer to reopening day for Disneyland đđđ #Disney #DisneyParks #Disneyland #CastMember #Attraction #CaliforniaAdventure ⏠original sound â Disney Parks Whatâs Happening: The Disneyland Resort announced a reopening date of April 30 [âŠ]
Hello from a hot but beautiful day here at EPCOT! We came to check in on the many construction projects here, and see what new updates we could find. Letâs get started! Pavement work continues on the right side as you enter the park and pass under Spaceship Earth. With a tarp covering the area, itâs hard to see what stage of the process this area is currently at, but judging by the fact that itâs level all the way [âŠ]
One of the hardest choices is picking which Disney Resort youâre going to stay at during your vacation to Disney World! If youâre spending a ton of time in the parks, you might opt for a Value Resort. But, if youâre looking to relax and enjoy all the amenities your hotel has to offer, then you may be looking to splurge on a Deluxe Resort.
Disneyâs Wilderness Lodge

Sometimes, at the end of certain special weeks, you and I need to simply make something over-the-top chocolatey and take a fork to it. Friends, I find myself at the end of such a week, and, in the chance that you find yourself at the end of one, too, this recipe’s for you.
It’s with all things rich and decadent chocolate in mind that we turn to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort‘s table service restaurant, The Turf Club Bar and Grill. While Turf Club is temporarily closed we will usher a bit of its Disney magic into our kitchens as we whip up and enjoy their classic Chocolate Torte recipe.
The Chocolate Torte recipe is found in Kitchen Magic with Mickey: Favorite Recipes from the Disney Parks and Cruise Ships. I picked up a used copy of the cookbook on Amazon, and it has a very broad range of recipes. I’m sure that everyone will find a few of their in-park or Disney Cruise Line favorites represented.
Our list of ingredients is mercifully short, however, I must tell you that, with this recipe, as in life, patience is a virtue. This decadent Saturday Snacks recipe must be made in steps, with the first step requiring us to allow the torte to hang out in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours. Yes,eight hours. We will band together and get through this as a team, mmmkay? We can do it.
The first step is to preheat the oven to 300 degrees and allow 3/4 cup of butter to soften on the counter. Make sure that a rack is in the center of the oven, and, since boiling hot water is needed in a bit, I placed a tea kettle on the stove to boil. You’ll also need to locate your roasting pan because we’ll be filling it with water and submerging a springform pan in it.
Speaking of a springform pan, this little baby will be the most exotic of tools needed for this recipe. After she passed years ago, I adopted my husband’s grandmother’s springform pan. And, as you might guess, that springform pan is currently nowhere to be found. I fear that Saturday Snacks is fast becoming the Ode to All Lost Pans, but nonetheless, Nana’s springform pan is gone.
Fast-forward to last Saturday morning when my mom-in-law texted me to let me know that a package had just been delivered to my door. My amazing mom-in-law, knowing my missing springform pan plight, surprised me by ordering me a brand-new springform pan. She is so, so kind.
Since we’re going to end up placing the springform pan holding our precious chocolate torte into a roasting pan water bath, we need to try to get our springform pan as close to watertight as possible. What makes a springform pan unique is that the bottom of the pan fits into a ridge at the bottom of the ring that forms the sides of the pan. The side of the pan is hinged, thus allowing the bottom to fall away from the sides when everything’s said and done. If we don’t seal up the sides of the pan, water will seep into our torte, and we’ll end up with a water-logged chocolate sponge. Eww.
The recipe asks us to first wrap the pan in plastic wrap and then heavy duty foil. I missed the “heavy duty” part of the description when checking the supply list, and knew that since I didn’t have a roll of that oversized heavy duty foil, I’d have to do a couple of layers of regular foil and pray that it works to keep the water out of my snack.
I started by wrapping the bottom in plastic wrap and then I wrapped the sides in an overlapping fashion so that the wrap had something to cling to. I followed up with two layers of foil. The recipe tells us to carry the wrap and foil up the sides of the pan, and I tried my best to do just that.
Our next step is to give the inside of the pan a generous coating of butter and then coat it with granulated sugar. Toss a quarter cup or so of sugar into that pan and roll it around (preferably over the sink if you’re messy like me), and allow that sweet sugar to encrust the entire thing. And try not to lick the pan. Ahem.
We’ll next need a small saucepan for our next step as we make espresso syrup for the torte. Read that again: espresso syrup. Yummm. For the needed espresso, I grabbed my ever-faithful, ever-present jar of instant espresso and whipped up a cup.
Place 3/4 cup of granulated sugar into the saucepan along with half of a cup of brewed espresso.
Let the two get nice and toasty over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, and then pull the pan off of the heat and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
While the espresso syrup is cooling, grab another small saucepan out of the cabinet, fill it halfway with water, and place a small-ish glass bowl on top. We’re going to create a double boiler to melt the chocolate as we’ve done in weeks past. It’s a simple and very gentle way to melt chocolate, and any technique that ends without scalded chocolate is a good one in my book.
Let the water in the pan come to a simmering boil, and place 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate in the glass bowl on top of the pot of simmering water. The recipe calls for us to finely chop the chocolate, but it’s Saturday and you and I don’t need any extra work to do this weekend, thankyouverymuch. Toss those chocolate squares into the glass bowl as is. It might take a couple of extra minutes, but they’ll melt just fine.
Cut the softened 3/4 cup of butter into tablespoons, and, once the chocolate has melted, toss the butter in by the tablespoonful and stir to combine. And stand there and marvel at what you’re working with: ton of chocolate and a ton of butter. Yes, I’d say that the weekend’s off to a good start.
Once the butter’s melted and combined with the chocolate, add in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the espresso syrup, and pull the glass bowl off of the saucepan to cool for 4 to 5 minutes. After the time is up, add in the five beaten eggs and stir them gently to incorporate. And don’t do as I did and forget to beat the eggs before you toss them into the chocolate mixture and then frantically fish them back out to beat them after you realized what you’ve done. Goodness. Gracious.
Once the beaten eggs are worked into the chocolate mixture, pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Place the pan into the roasting pan and pour boiling hot water into the roasting pan, being careful to not get any H2O into the springform pan. If your batter-filled pan is like mine, your pan will begin floating on the water well before you’re able to fill the water to 3/4 of the way up the side of it. I just poured a bit more in and declared it good enough.
Place the whole roasting pan/springform pan combo into the oven, and give it a good 45 to 50 minutes or until the center of the torte is just about set.
Once the torte is ready to emerge from the oven, pull it out and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. I also ended up unwrapping the outside of the pan at this point. While unwrapping the springform pan, a bit of water came out of the pan, and I feared that I’d have a soggy torte on my hands. But I wouldn’t know until the next day, because, once the torte has completely cooled, we need leave it in the springform pan, cover it with foil, and leave it in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. Goodnight, sweet torte. May you not be soggy on the ‘morrow.
After a minimum of 8 hours have passed, it’s time to get the party rolling again by making the chocolate ganache for the top of the torte. You’ll need to grab another saucepan out of the cabinet (so sorry for the dishes that’ll need to be washed), and fill it halfway with water. Get that water to a simmering boil, and top it with a glass bowl. And, yep, you guessed it: toss in the remaining 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate. Stir it as it melts, and once it has melted, pull it off of the heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
After those few minutes, toss in the remaining half of a cup of butter and stir until the chocolate mixture is the beautiful, glossy ganache that it’s meant to be.
It’s now time for the moment of truth, and we need to move quickly ’cause warm ganache waits for no one. I pulled my torte out of the fridge and slid a knife around the edge to help loosen it a bit from the ring. I popped open the ring on the outside of the springform pan, and the most lovely thing happened: my torte looked like it should. I was afraid that it had taken on water during the baking process, but my fears were *thankfully* unfounded.
I left the torte on the base of the springform pan (no need to tempt fate by trying to move it off of the base), and poured the warm ganache onto the top, allowing the chocolatey goodness to drip over the sides.
The recipe for the ganache makes the perfect amount to cover the torte with a thick coating. After getting everything nice and covered, I sat the torte -springform pan base and all – onto a baking pan and placed it in the fridge to set for two additional hours. I was so hoping that my patience would pay off in the end.
After two hours, the ganache had set completely and had taken on more of a matte finish. I carefully lifted the torte off of the baking pan and placed it (still on the springform pan base) onto a plate.
The moment of truth came when I sunk my cake cutter into the torte. Would it be everything that I’d hoped it would be? Short answer? Yes. And then some.
Friends, the most rich and decadent slice of chocolate torte lifted off of that plate. The recipe recommends that the torte be served with vanilla ice cream, so you had better believe that I had my carton of Breyer’s and ice cream scoop ready to go.
If you’re looking for a chocolate snack/dessert/breakfast this weekend, look no further. It’s the one you’ve been dreaming of. The torte is dense and I likened it to eating fudge, except it’s even better than that. It’s not a cake-like consistency; it is it’s own unique, flavorful, rich treat. And, as I sit here and write these words, it’s 8:37am and I’ve already had a little slice this morning. That’s adulting at its finest, my friends.
While The Turf Club Bar and Grill might be currently closed, we can appreciate and re-create one of its’ classic recipes for the glorious delight that it is. Turf Club and your cast members: we raise a slice in your honor. Thank you for making this Saturday a bit sweeter.
I hope that this weekend is a lovely one. No matter what your week held – the good, the bad, and the ugly – may you and I stop and smell a rose or two. And, of course, may we also eat a bite or two or twenty-three of something yummy along the way.
Thank you so very much for stopping by and reading. Take good care.
p.s. I filmed a Saturday Snacks vlog of me making Food & Wine Festival’s PĂŁo de queijo that aired last week. If you’re like to virtually join me in my kitchen via video and make some yummy bread and cheese goodness, the video is below.
Ready to invite the most rich, chocolatey treat in town to the party? The recipe for Turf Club’s Chocolate Torte is below:
Chocolate Torte(makes one 9-inch torte)
Torte
3/4 cup butter, softened, plus additional soften butter for greasing pan
3/4 cup sugar, plus additional sugar for dusting pan
1/2 cup prepared espresso
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs, at room temperature, beaten
Chocolate ganache
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter, softened
Vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Preheat oven to 300° with oven rack in middle position. Rack outside of a 9 inch spring form pan and plastic wrap then wrapped tightly with a layer of heavy duty foil. Generously butter inside of pan. Dust pan with sugar, tapping out access. Place prepared pan in roasting pan; set aside.
Combine sugar and espresso in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Place chocolate in a large bowl set over a large sauce pan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir occasionally until just melted. Add butter by the tablespoonful, stirring until combined. Stir in espresso syrup and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently stir in eggs until combined.
Pour batter into prepared springform pan. Pour boiling-hot water into roasting pan until it reaches three-quarters up the side of the springform pan. Bake until center of torte is almost set, but still wobbles just slightly, 45-50 minutes.
Transfer torte to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate, covered, for 8 hours or overnight.
For ganache:
Place chocolate in a medium bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir occasionally until melted.
Set aside to cool slightly, 3-4 minutes. Add butter by the tablespoonful, stirring until combined and glossy. Use immediately.
To serve:
Run a thin knife along the inside of the springform pan, and remove pan ring.
Place torte on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Pour ganache over torte, a bit at a time, spreading with a rubber or offset spatula to cover top. Allow excess to drip down, if desired.
Place torte on a platter or sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Hello from another lovely but hot day at the Magic Kingdom! We had a quiet day overall, but still found some fun things to show you. Letâs get started! A bit more progress has been made on the Cinderella Castle Stage since our last update. The left side has been completely covered in metal grate, and now has what appears to be metal and wood strips on top of that. The right side is now completely covered in metal tubing. [âŠ]
Get ready to mark your calendars for some special days that only the BIGGEST Disney fans know about!
Mickey Mouse
Sure, there are plenty of ways to celebrate holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and St. Patrickâs Day in the Disney parks. But there are some holidays that only Disney superfans know about! Here are some special Disney days that you wonât find pre-printed on your planner.
Disneylandâs Opening Day Anniversary â July 17th
Disneyland first welcomed guests on July 17th, 1955. And thus, Disneyâs pioneering of the theme park industry began!
Disneyland Entrance
Believe it or not, the grand opening was actually a bit of a disaster (Seriously. Itâs often referred to as âBlack Sunday!â). Several iconic attractions werenât ready in time for the opening, water fountains around the park werenât working yet due to a plumberâs strike, fresh asphalt and scorching temperatures turned Main Street, U.S.A. into a mess with womenâs heels sinking into the street, and counterfeit tickets packed the park with uninvited guests.
Holding Disneylandâs Very 1st Entrance Ticket #000001
But luckily Walt and his team persevered, ironing out the initial blunders and surpassing one million visitors within the first seven weeks of operation.
Disneyland
There are several ways guests can mark this special moment in Disney history. Milestone anniversaries are often celebrated with special snacks, merchandise, and decor.
Since Disneyland is a âlocals park,â with much of the attendance coming from guests who live nearby, marking the anniversary with a trip to the park is a special occasion for many Disneyland fans!
Walt Disney World Opening Day Anniversaryâ October 1st
Walt Disney World celebrates its opening day on October 1st, as Magic Kingdom first welcomed guests on October 1st, 1971.
Main Street Train Station
Eleven years later, this date became even more significant, as EPCOT first opened on October 1st, 1982.
Spaceship Earth
Similar to Disneyland, Disney World milestone anniversaries are celebrated with special snacks, merchandise, decor, and entertainment. And these goodies have definitely been at the top of our minds lately, as Disney World prepares for its 50th-anniversary celebration later this year!
Cinderella Castle 50th Decor
The celebration, which Disney is calling âThe Worldâs Most Magical Celebration,â is set to kick-off on October 1st, 2021. But if you canât make it right away, donât worry â itâs slated to run for 18-months following the anniversary!
Weâll be on the lookout for any additional details and announcements about the upcoming festivities as the 50th-anniversary approaches, so stay tuned for all of the latest info!
Opening Day of Disneyâs Animal Kingdom Anniversary â April 22nd
Itâs significant that Disneyâs Animal Kingdom opened on the same day as another holiday â Earth Day. The parkâs opening date of April 22nd, 1998 ties into its goal of conservation.
Animal Kingdom Entrance
Typically, Animal Kingdomâs anniversary is celebrated with the annual Party for the Planet, which has featured talks from Disney Imagineers, special character experiences, unique photo ops, and more.
Special Characters for Party for the Planet
And as with the other anniversary events, special snacks and merchandise have also been known to pop up in the park in honor of the âholiday.â
âUpâ Cake Push Pop
Even though April 22nd might stick out already as a holiday, it takes on a whole new meaning to Disney fans!
When Disneyland first opened, it was commonplace to see women in dresses and petticoats and men in their Sunday best. Today, it might look a little odd to see folks dressed to the nines on a hot day in Disney World, but it happens! Dapper Day is a celebration of fun, vintage style, and itâs a great excuse for Disney fashionistas to get all dressed up for a trip to the parks!
Dapper Day in Hollywood Studios
There is typically a spring and fall outing in both Disney World and Disneyland, although the exact dates and parks can change from year to year.
Dapper Day
If youâre in need of an outfit to celebrate, you might even be able to find the occasional Dapper Day pop-up shopfor all your fashion needs!
Dapper Day Sunglasses
So, if you happen to spot a group of impeccably dressed guests strolling through the parks on your trip, you may have just stumbled upon a Dapper Day outing!
Walt Disney himself once said, âI hope we never lose sight of one thing â that it was all started by a mouse.â And Disney fans around the world have continued to recognize Mickeyâs legacy by celebrating his âbirthdayâ on November 18th.
And thereâs an extra-special Imagineering detail in the queue for Under the Sea â Journey of The Little Mermaid in Magic Kingdom that only reveals itself on Mickeyâs birthday.
Under the Sea â Journey of The Little Mermaid
Part of the rock formation in the queue is carved so that the sun will shine through onto the base of a wall at the perfect angle to form Mickeyâs head ONLY on November 18th each year at noon. Now thatâs an elusive Hidden Mickey!
Looking for an excuse to dress up in your best Enchanted Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones, or Tarzan attire? Well then, Adventureland Day is the holiday for you!
Adventureland
On the first Sunday in March, Adventureland Day participants dress up in garb inspired by their favorite attraction from the land to celebrate the magic it inspires. Since this event is a fan-made tradition, it still have a very fun home-grown feel to it. Scavenger hunts are often created, as well as planned meet-ups and photo ops.
Jungle Cruise Minnie Ears
From colorful Tiki Room birds to treasure hunting explorers, thereâs definitely plenty of inspiration to pull from! If you want to follow when the next day rolls around, you can check out their Facebook page here!
Just because these âholidaysâ donât come pre-loaded on your average calendar doesnât make them any less important for Disney superfans! These holidays are a great excuse to show some love to your favorite character, attraction, or entire park. Plus, you might even get to enjoy a special treat, new merch, or exclusive entertainment as part of the celebration. Now thatâs REALLY something to get excited about!
