Are Disney Halloween Beignets Really Worth the Hype?

Listen, babes … I’m not a die-hard Disney fan, and they don’t pay me a dime to lie … so I can easily say that Disney doesn’t always get everything right! I mean, have you visited the Tiana Restaurant at Disneyland? It’s trash! But baby … these Halloween beignets at Walt Disney World do NOT disappoint!

Every fall, the parks and resorts roll out limited-time goodies that make Disney foodies and fans plan trips just to taste them. But with so many treats competing for your attention (and your wallet), of course, you need to know: Are the Disney Halloween Beignets actually worth buying?

Well, babes … after trying Disney’s Ghoulish Beignets (aka the Disney Halloween beignets) myself during a previous Halloween trip, I can confidently say yes, YES THEY ARE, and here’s why.

2026 UPDATE: Disney’s Ghoulish Beignets are back! However, if you’re visiting later this spooky season, there’s one important change to know. Starting October 6, 2026, Scat Cat’s Club Café will temporarily close for refurbishment, and the beignets will move right next door to Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory through the remainder of the Halloween season.

And if you’ll be attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there’s another beignet option inside Magic Kingdom this year! Keep reading because I’ve got the details below.

Wait … What are Disney Halloween beignets?

Out of ALL the snacks Walt Disney World has to offer, the beignets at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, where they pay homage to New Orleans, might be my favorite!

But during spooky season, aka Halloween, Scat Cat’s Club Café puts a seasonal spin on its freshly fried, Mickey-shaped pastries by rolling their fluffy beignets in a cookies-and-cream sugar coating.

Think powdered sugar mixed with crushed Oreo cookie dust, then drizzled in marshmallow creme, giving every bite a sweet, chocolatey twist that tastes so good it feels downright wicked.

What do Disney Halloween Beignets taste like?

Okay, so I’ve had the regular beignets at Scat Cat’s Club Cafe, and trust me … they’re good! But these Ghoulish Beignets, baby! These are on another level!

• Texture: These beignets are light, fluffy, and pillowy on the inside! They’re seriously the softest beignets I’ve ever had! And I’ve had beignets in New Orleans, baby!
• Flavor: The crushed chocolate cookie dust balances perfectly with the sweetness of the powdered sugar and marshmallow creme drizzled on top! So it’s super SWEET, just how I like my beignets!
• Filling: For those of you who loathe filled donuts and treats … hakuna matata! That means no worries! Because that’s right, these babies are NOT filled! I repeat, there is NO cream on the inside.
• Portion: These beignets are HUGE, so they’re shareable, but let’s be honest … you’re not sharing these. It’s every man, child, friend, for themselves, baby! Get everyone their own! Trust me!

So are Disney’s Ghoulish Beignets worth buying?

Abso-fcking-lutely baby!

Why they’re worth it:

• They taste incredible!
• It’s a unique flavor you can’t get anywhere else.
• You don’t need a park ticket to buy these! You can just uber/drive to the resort!
• They’re only available during spooky season (so this Disney snack is seasonal and special).
• You can grab 3 big, fluffy beignets for less than $10! Which makes this Disney snack affordable.

What to keep in mind:

• The Ghoulish Beignets are usually sold at Scat Cat’s Club Café inside Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter, but their location will temporarily change beginning October 6, 2026.
• If you miss the purchase window, you’ll have to wait a whole year for them to be in season again.
• These are definitely on the dark, sweeter side, so if you don’t LOVE sweet treats, or aren’t eating sugar … you’ll have to buy ’em and give ’em to a friend.

But if you’re visiting Disney World during Halloween season, these beignets are absolutely worth buying. I’d kill do a little something strange, for a little change, to buy one of these RIGHT NOW.

I literally told all my travel clients to visit this cafe for Breakfast on their Magic Kingdom day! That’s how much I love these!!

Okay, I’m sold … where can I find Disney’s Ghoulish Beignets?

If you want the Ghoulish Beignets I tried and reviewed here, you’ll want to head to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter.

So here’s where and when you can find the Disney Halloween beignets at Disney World …

• Through October 5: Scat Cat’s Club Café at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
• Beginning October 6: Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory, right next door, while Scat Cat’s Club Café undergoes refurbishment
• Park Ticket Needed? Nope! You can visit the resort without purchasing a theme park ticket.

But wait … Disney has Halloween beignets inside Magic Kingdom in 2026 too!

If you have tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney has added a completely different Halloween beignet to Magic Kingdom this year.

The Beignets from Beyond are light, fluffy beignets covered with powdered sugar and chocolate cookie pieces and served over cookies-and-cream cheese icing. You can find them at Golden Oak Outpost in Frontierland exclusively during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for $8.79.

Just remember: these are NOT the same Ghoulish Beignets I tasted above. Those are the cookies-and-cream seasonal beignets from Port Orleans French Quarter. But umm … if somebody wants to send me back to Disney so I can properly compare the two, I’m available!
