We only have two days, but I do want to try to have a couple of treats that are unique to this time of year. Does anyone have a list of ALL the special things that are available for a limited time- I guess like maybe they will change at some point ( November?) to special Christmasy/Holiday treats instead? Thanks!

Remember that if you're looking for pumpkin fudge, it can be available in different locations (Main Street candy shop and the coffee house on Main Street at least - maybe at Pooh Corner as well), so if they happen to be out in one place, you can check a different location. They made changes to the French Market dishes since the newsletter was published. The trip report I posted here (<a href="http://www.colddeadfish.net/dlr/dlr100106tr.html" target="_blank">http://www.colddeadfish.net/dl r/dlr100106tr.html</a>) has information about the two new dishes and pictures and a review of the new ghoulash dish and pumpkin pie dessert. Scroll towards the end of the report.

Scroll to about the middle of the report. They also have orange cotton candy, but it apparently doesn't taste any different than regular cotton candy. Have a great time! /cs

I plan on buying a full box of just pumpkin and freezing four of the pieces. It's the only way I can survive the time until the park will have it again (I obviously failed on that this year and have been going through horrible withdrawal ;P heh)
