As invited media, Disney provided WDWNT with a gift card for food and beverages, so some of the following coverage was hosted. As always, WDWNT will still provide our honest thoughts on all below.
It’s Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort, and over at Disney California Adventure, Smokejumpers Grill has three special items for the season.
Smokejumpers Grill is located in Grizzly Peak, near Soarin’ and around the corner from Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe.

*NEW* Villainous Double Cheeseburger – $16.49
Double Cheeseburger with Pepper Jack, Chile Peppers, Arugula, and Spicy Aïoli, served with Crinkle-cut Fries
Add this to the long list of spicy offerings this year, but this one did not disappoint. It’s not overwhelmingly hot; rather, the spicy flavors complement each other well and lead to an overall great burger with a nice kick. The delicious and crispy crinkle fries help put it over the top.

Oogie Boogie Apple Lemonade – $6.99
Green Apple Lemonade with Cherry-flavored Popping Spheres and Raspberry Sauce
It’s not sickly sweet, even with the syrupy flavorings. The apple was muted but the sour came through to balance out the sugary lemonade and “bloody” raspberry sauce. However, if you want to actually taste the raspberry, you have to stir the drink very well, ruining the aesthetic. We thought the cherry popping pearls added a nice touch.

*NEW* Green Apple Lemonade Cocktail – $17.50
Vodka with Green Apple Lemonade, Cherry-flavored Popping Spheres and Raspberry Sauce
This drink is extremely tart, more so than the non-alcoholic version, even though they’re presumably made using the same mix. The shot of vodka was hard to detect through the great flavors of green apple and lemonade. It’s cold and refreshing but caused a couple of involuntary facial contortions on the first sip. Overall, it’s not bad. It’s just going to take a few sips to get your taste buds used to the extreme tartness.
Rating out of 7: 5
Overall, Smokejumpers Grill has no losers this year. You can’t go wrong with these options, and it’s nice to have nearly identical alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions of the drink so everyone can enjoy.
