There are two new Halloween treats available at The Tropical Hideaway in Disneyland: Utundu Chicken and Monstropolis Float.
This modest Halloween menu is available through November 13.
Fried chicken thighs, shishito peppers, harissa aïoli, and a lime wedge
The name of this dish comes from Shiriki Utundu, the cursed idol of Tokyo DisneySea’s Tower of Terror. The ride and quick-service location also both connect to the Society of Adventurers and Explorers (S.E.A.).
So the name of this dish has a fun history but what about the taste? Well the chicken itself is low quality. It kind of tastes like Costco chicken tenders. However, the breading and aïoli are flavorful and delicious. They make up for the bad chicken. It’s a small portion for the price of $10.99.

Ube-dusted DOLE Whip Pineapple and Mango with passion fruit coconut juice and lychee fruit
We had the menu card in front of us the entire time and still couldn’t identify any flavors in this except Ube. The green stuff, which is supposed to be coconut, is completely flavorless. Everything else is masked by DOLE Whip. Just get a regular float — it’s cheaper and tastes the same.

Disney has held strong at the summer box office, a trend that began with the May 10th release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Part of a franchise that began in 1968, the enduring success of Planet of the Apes is comparable to Star Wars, albeit on a smaller scale. With lengthy gaps between […]

Tiana’s Palace at Disneyland has joined in on the Halloween festivities with strawberry beignets.
Topped with strawberry glaze
We’ve made it clear in the past that we aren’t fans of the cold Tiana’s Palace beignets. This pastry has the same consistency and texture issues but thankfully, the taste is phenomenal.
The strawberry cream is delicious and refreshing. The chunks of strawberries and syrup on the tray are also a welcome addition.

Earlier today we saw reports being made that the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) has filed new documents for a “new resort,” fueling rumors that work will soon resume on the long-running Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge project.
WDWMagic reported that in this new filing, the CFTOD is considering Chen Moore and Associates for a Master Services Agreement for “Project S.” According to the project brief, “The purpose of this project is to provide a new transformer service yard, transformer loop, and SCADA monitoring cabinets for a new resort.”
Last month, a construction permit was filed by Walt Disney Imagineering for “Site and facility improvements” at several addresses along Wilderness Way near the Copper Creek Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. This may mean Disney could add more cabins or other facilities, but there are also connections to Reflections.
Wilderness Way was planned to be used as the entrance to Reflections. The permit contracts Balfour Beatty, a company that was listed on a similar permit for Reflections in 2019. That document is valid through March 31, 2027.
Disney announced Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge in 2018 following rumors of a new nature-inspired resort. The long-shuttered River Country water park was demolished in 2019 to make way for the new Disney Vacation Club resort. COVID-19 shutdowns in 2020 and a 2021 permit for trailer removal supported rumors that the resort was canceled.
However, in 2023, Disney filed a five-year extension on a permit for the project’s staging ground. In May 2024, another construction permit extension was filed.
At this time Disney has not made any announcement suggesting the construction of Reflections has or will resume.
