REVIEW: New Minnie Witch Shake, PB&J Mummy Cronut, and Caramel Apple Smoothie at Schmoozies for Halloween Time 2019 in Disney California Adventure

Minnie Witch Shake ($7.49)

This is similar to the other cookies ‘n’ cream shakes they’ve had here all year. There’s a nice, subtle minty note throughout the shake, which also has a good consistency. It’s a quality shake for the money, especially considering that the Mummy Donut is a whopping $8.99 this year.

It’s cutely decorated with the chocolate Minnie bow and purple whipped cream. Do keep in mind that purple whipped cream on top has a bit of a chemical taste to it due to the tons of coloring. The actual shake is delicious, though, if you like minty cookies ‘n’ cream. Think of this as a Thin Mint in shake form.

Mummy Donut ($8.99)

Presented here with last year’s whoopie pie ice cream sandwich, which is not available this year.

A croissant doughnut with peanut butter and jelly filling, this is large enough for a small family to share, although a bit expensive this year at $8.99. The peanut butter and jelly filling puts this thing over the edge as the base of it is already a flaky and delicious “cronut”. This is seriously one of my favorite park treats I have had in my entire life, and any peanut butter & jelly fan will likely feel the same.

One thing I will say is that the filling can be inconsistent. We’ve had a few of these and they are either filled to the brim with PB&J or there are large pockets without it. Either way, you should still get one.

Caramel Apple Smoothie ($6.99)

It is what it is titled, a smoothie flavored like a caramel apple, but the flavor has been distinctly altered from last year. While light on the caramel, it now has a more artificial apple flavor that isn’t all that enjoyable. If they go back to the old recipe, I’d get this again, but the current version is a big letdown. Luckily, everything else here for Halloween Time is not.

These 3 items are available at Schmoozies in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure during Halloween Time, now through October 31st, 2019.
