Disney Halloween Hot Cocoa Board
Nothing is easier than getting together all the hot cocoa fixings you have around the house for a Hot Cocoa Station. And for Halloween why not take it one step further by making it the centerpiece of the fun? Gather some mugs, cocoas, and toppings- like marshmallows, chocolate, sauces, and sprinkles, and set it up. Check out our Halloween Hot Cocoa Board for even more Halloween Inspiration.
Disney Halloween Party Recipes
Halloween Recipes don’t need to be complicated! Some Oreos and melted chocolate, and green and purple popcorn cane easily make fun and fast treats for any seasonal get together! Here are some of our favorite Disney inspired recipes for Halloween.
Mickey Pumpkin Spice Macarons
Use macaron batter to create cute pumpkin Mickey macarons for the season. We’ve even added pumpkin spices and frosting faces to make these a little more fun. Check out our Pumpkin Spice Mickey Macarons Recipe for a showstopper treat that tastes fantastic!
Jack Skellington Dipped Oreos
We love the Oreos dipped in anything! For the Halloween season you can dip them in orange chocolate to make treats worth of the Pumpkin King. Or use white chocolate melts to create a Jack Skellington head instead. If you’re making these Mickey Oreos, mini marshmallows make easy to attach ears. Tip: Microwave store-bought frosting until it’s just a little softer and you can dip the oreo in the jar. Once dipped, place the cookie on wax paper to set. Meanwhile, you can grab dark chocolate chips ( which are a little bigger than normal chips) and flip them over so the flat side is up, and glue them onto the Oreos as mickey ears with frosting. You can also use chocolate melts if you have them on hand for the Mickey ears. We used our Dipped Oreos for our Nightmare Before Christmas Movie Night, complete with even more easy recipes to try!
Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Coffee Copycat Recipe
Hold onto the Halloween season with fall flavors in your coffee. We LOVE this copycat recipe from Starbucks, perfect for the fall season. Just grab cold brew, cream and spices to make this coffee drink in a jiffy. It’s not as tough as you think, and you’ll be returning to this Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Recipe all season.
Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte Recipe
We couldn’t rightfully say it was fall without trying a billion recipes for pumpkin spice lattes to get us through the busy holiday season and all those parties! We love this Cinderella-inspired Pumpkin Chai Latte for something easy. Just heat up a milk of your choice, add some chai tea, pumpkin and spices and you’re golden. Perfect for harried days when you need a break.
Halloween Monster Cupcakes
We also love the idea of just grabbing some cake mix for monster cupcakes of all kinds! This little green monster was found at Pop Century Resort at Walt Disney World. But you can make your own at home with some cake mix, frosting, sprinkles, and candy eyes. Head to our Disney Halloween board on Pinterest for even more ideas.

Disney Halloween Costume Ideas
We love Halloween costumes that are quick and easy! We already let you in on our Haunted Mansion costumes, but we’re always looking for good quick, last-minute throw-together ideas. Check out our favorite Halloween Costumes for Three and a fun way to make Winne the Pooh Costumes for a group. Lauren Conrad’s Cruella costume took a little more work than we had time to do, but chances are you have a black dress somewhere that could make this work.
Disney Halloween Pumpkin Carving Ideas
We love carving pumpkins, but sometimes the mess, the time, and the clean up is more than we have time for! Make it simple. Some paint, some cardboard cut into mickey ears and you’re all set. Sometimes we get lazy. Mainly because sometimes… we just go to parties for the food. That said, we don’t necessarily always want to get all ambitious when it comes to pumpkin carving time with loads of seed and large knives. We do however still want to impress people… so sometimes we’ll paint our pumpkins instead. You can do this with paint pens, nail polish, or whatever paint you have laying around the house.
Disney Halloween Decorations
Set up your Disney mugs as vases for orange flowers or as little stands for mini pumpkins. Trying to figure out all the ways we can cut corners so we have enough money left over for Christmas gifts, later on, we many times will make our own decorations. Mind you, they usually look stellar, but still – they are homemade and cheap. We really liked the printed Disney Villain Wanted posters, and taking any ol’ Christmas balls, and a mickey hat from the parks for this wreath. Take a look at the best new Disney Halloween Merchandise to dress up your home.
DIY Haunted Mansion Mantel
And of course, we also love pulling together things we didn’t know we had to make something new! Check out our latest Disney Halloween Decor DIY honoring Haunted Mansion! Complete with a fancy wreath and spooky webs. We used these flameless candles we always on hand for Christmas, flowers from the craft store, and a candle holder we thrifted! Just add webs, and some imposing black gauze fabric, and voila! You have a unique Halloween Mantel you can add to all season!
Disney Halloween Games
Classic Disney games like Villainous is great to play during the Halloween season. But, if you’re looking for something easier for the whole family, Bingo is one of our favorites. We play this with Reeses Pieces, in Halloween style. Just click on the images below to print the Halloween Bingo Cards set below. Use candy as bingo markers and just call out the characters like standard Bingo. If you’re venturing out for trick or treat you can use these as they’re intended as Disney Halloween costume scavenger hunt checklist.
