The force is strong in Darth by Chocolate, the decadent parfait located at Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland, Disneyland. It’s a cosmic layer cake experience in parfait form; it’s worth booking a hyperdrive to taste. But only if you like chocolate and sweetness.

What Is Darth by Chocolate?

Darth by Chocolate is a layered parfait of:

• Chocolate pudding

• Red velvet sponge cake

• Chocolate mousse

• Crushed chocolate crème-filled cookies (I'm assuming Oreo crumbles, but it could be an off-brand, too)

• The price (as of fall 2025) is $7.59. In 2024, it cost $7.29. Magic Key holders can receive a small discount based on the tier.

• Availability: Seasonal/Halloween food Disneyland (not always year-round—check Disney Parks Blog for the current run dates).

• Order Tips: Mobile order early. I ordered via the app and then still waited a little over 15 minutes for it. I suggest ordering on the Disneyland app, marking that you are there, and then just stroll around until it says it's ready.

Where to Find It

You’ll find this sweet temptation at Galactic Grill, nestled right in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park. It’s a quick-service, counter-style spot known for its Star Wars-themed names and inventive menu tweaks. It's the perfect pit stop after blasting through Space Mountain or snapping selfies with the Astro Orbitor spinning overhead.

Quick-Bite Bullet Points

• Name and Theme: Darth by Chocolate – a Star Wars-inspired chocolate parfait

Setting the Stage: Galactic Grill’s Location and Vibe

Imagine this: you’re in the heart of Tomorrowland, surrounded by gleaming space-age architecture and whirring attractions. Just steps away from Space Mountain and the Astro Orbitor, Galactic Grill beckons with sci-fi charm and a menu split between Light Side-ish sandwiches and Dark Side-worthy desserts. It’s a perfect place to sit down and refuel, especially if you have a spot in the shade on a particularly hot day. It was over 90 degrees when I ate my Darth by Chocolate at the end of August.

Other Popular Items at Galactic Grill

While Darth by Chocolate steals the spotlight during Halloween, Galactic Grill serves up other tasty offerings to suit all tastes:

• Sandwiches and Burgers: Think cheeseburgers and fries. Classic quick-service fare with Tomorrowland flair.

• Seasonal Savories: In recent Halloween food Disneyland seasons, they’ve offered items like the Haunted Hound Dog (all-beef hot dog with bacon, fried onions) and Chile Pepper Burger with ghost-pepper salsa. Items may vary year to year, but Disneyland will often bring back highly coveted items, Darth by Chocolate included.

• Festive Drinks and Treats: The Bloody Orange Slushy with raspberry drizzle and the Iced Pumpkin Pie Chai Latte with pumpkin-pie cold foam are show-stoppers from fall menus

Drawing From My TikTok Vibe

When I shared Darth by Chocolate on TikTok, I captured that “oh-wow” moment when you first see the red velvet sponge layers peeking through. It’s chocolate-pudding heaven with a red velvet and mousse twist. Those cookie crumbs really bring it home and bring a mild crunch to the otherwise soft treat.

Final Thoughts on the Halloween Food from Disneyland

Whether you’re battling Space Mountain’s long lines or breezing through with Lightning Lane, the Darth by Chocolate parfait is ideal for those of us who have a sweet tooth. It is a flavor powerhouse of chocolate, red velvet, mousse, and cookie crunch. It’s a Disneyland legend that has come back for a couple of years now.

Timing is everything, though. This treat doesn’t stick around year-round. Mobile order early or plan your day around it.

Pros: Perfectly layered, indulgent, thematic, portable

Cons: Seasonal, high-demand, limited availability windows, very sweet

If you’re craving an other-worldly dessert that tastes as epic as it looks, this one deserves top billing on your Tomorrowland menu. May the dessert be with you!

Costco is beloved for its wide selection of bulk items to stock in your fridge, freezer, cabinets, and more. Whether you want a 5-pound bag of almonds or 10 pounds of pancake mix, the warehouse has a little bit of everything. But Costco is also known for its delicious food court.

Costco Food Court Menu

Costco's food court has a few options, allowing members to grab a quick bite to eat. You can order at the self-serve kiosk or in person. It doesn't really matter. The simplicity of the menu is a big part of its allure because you don't have to pick from hundreds of menu items. No frills, no muss, no fuss—just a handful of reliable items that most are familiar with. And while the food court is beloved in the U.S., international Costco locations put their own spin on things. In South Korea, you’ll find bulgogi bakes. Heading north to Canada? There's poutine, of course.

Costco’s food court menu items remains one of the best deals around. And it’s not just about the iconic $1.50 hot dog combo anymore, although it's a staple choice. While the classics are still going strong, the menu has expanded to include heartier options like the rotisserie chicken Caesar salad, a toasted turkey and provolone sandwich, and even a surprisingly satisfying chicken bake. 

Got a sweet tooth you want to curb? Grab a double chocolate chunk cookie or swirl up a Cold Brew Mocha Freeze. And for under $10, you can still feed the whole family a Costco pizza—plus get a 20-ounce soda with free refills for just 79 cents. Whether you're team pepperoni pizza or in the mood for a strawberry smoothie, Costco's food court menu delivers major value and flavor without the markup.

I had seen several videos on TikTok about the chocolate chip cookies from Harbour Galley at Disneyland. So, when I visited with my family, and the choice was between a churro and the cookies, we opted for the cookies -- simply because we’ve had the churro and wanted to try something new. 

Are the cookies even good?

If you like a freshly baked cookie, this will certainly be right up your alley. It’s hard to go wrong with a tasty cookie, so as a food writer and home cook, I can safely say these are pretty good cookies. Obviously, if you find yourself a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur, you might have some different thoughts. 

Here’s the thing about Harbour Galley’s chocolate chip cookies: they’re not trying to be the dessert that changes your life. They’re not dressed up with sprinkles or drizzled in sea salt caramel.

These are small cookies served in a paper bag/tray type of thing. They are served warm, which makes you feel like you baked them yourself, and they came right out of the oven. The Disneyland chocolate chip cookies come in a pack of six or a pack of 13. If you have more people in your party or you want to take some home, get the 13-pack because the cookies are small anyway. 

Like a lot of baked goods, these are best when fresh. Like, eat them right away. When you get them, they have a slightly crisp exterior that is buttery and rich, while the interior remains soft and doughy. They have a good amount of chocolate chips, which I consider a good thing. 

If you’ve ever had a cookie that has gaps without the chocolate chips, then you don’t have to worry when eating these. You got a chocolate nibble with each bite. The pack of six is perfect to share with two people, so you get three each, but you can share with more if you’d like.

Where to Find the Disneyland Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are located at Harbour Galley near the Pirates of the Caribbean area in New Orleans Square. 

How to Order the Harbour Galley Cookies

I recommend doing a mobile order. Ordering from the Disneyland app is great because the line can get pretty long, even in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. When you mobile order on the app, you can select an arrival time, so this can eliminate a lot of standing in line.

Disneyland Chocolate Chip Cookie Prices

Fresh-baked Chocolate Chip Cookies are available in a 6-pack for $7.79 or a 13-pack for $13.79, while supplies last. They have gone up $1 since I originally wrote this article in April 2025! 

If you’re the type who loves a snack that doesn’t require a reservation, a secret map, or a scavenger hunt to find, this is your treat. Mobile order if you see a line (trust me, they’re best eaten still warm), grab a shady spot, and enjoy the magic of a cookie that’s as straightforward as it is satisfying.

There is a Reddit thread about the Harbour Galley Disneyland cookies and how they didn't live up to the hype, and I can understand that sentiment. I don't usually think things live up to the hype either, so I try to go into things with a fresh mindset. Again, don't sit around and waste your day at Disneyland waiting in line. Put in an order and pick it up instead. 

It's just a cookie; it's not revolutionary. Disneyland didn't use any special, magical ingredients. So, if you go into it thinking it's something magnificent, you will be disappointed. It's a good cookie, not the world's best cookie. 

But that all said, I think it's worth trying if you have a sweet tooth while you're at the park.

There are many ways to enjoy Disneyland magic, whether you take in the buzzing, jovial atmosphere or prefer to go on the rides. But eating the Disneyland churros is another top experience. It is one of the most popular items that you can get at the theme park and many visitors consider it a true Disney delight.

Whether it’s your first visit trip to the theme park or your hundredth, you can't go wrong with a warm, crispy churro while strolling through Main Street, U.S.A. It's an iconic treat!

What Do the Disney Churros Taste Like?

The dessert has a crispy exterior that is covered in cinnamon sugar. They are a bit doughy in the middle so they have a tasty mixture of textures, firm and crisp yet soft and gooey. While there are the classic Disney churros you can also find various flavors throughout the park as well as at Disney California Adventure. The flavors might also vary depending on the season.

Where to Find Churros at Disneyland

While there are plenty of foods, drinks, and snacks to pick from, the churros at Disneyland stand out as an absolute crowdpleaser. You can find churros at Disneyland Resort throughout the park. The churro carts are not at one set location, which makes it convenient if you happen to be on one side of the park; you don't have to trek all the way to the other side just to get your hands on a churro.

What's your favorite Disneyland churro flavor? If you're wondering how much are churros at Disneyland, hopefully this helps! The churros are definitely on the the most classic items to get while you're there. It helps that you can find them all throughout the park, so you don't have to go to one place to pick one up. 

The East Coast Seafood Japanese Hokkaido Scallops are delicious. They are tender and can absorb whatever flavor you add to them. They come in a 2-pound bag and the scallops may range in size. For best results, cook similar-sized ones together so you don't overcook small ones and undercook larger ones. 

You can find these scallops at Costco in the freezer section by other seafood. These are wild caught and a product of Japan. The packaging says that you'll get around 18 to 23 scallops per pound. 

Costco Item number  1632838

The only ingredient is scallops. 

Review

I'll admit I wasn't super familiar with scallops until I bought these. But I was extremely impressed. I followed the directions exactly just because I didn't want to mess them up. They were so good. The texture was soft and tender. I added butter, salt, pepper, and lemon as directed and they were delicious. They are not fishy in any way so these are great if you don't love seafood. They absorb a lot of flavors, like butter and lemon so they aren't as fishy as say salmon.

While you probably go to Olive Garden for the pasta, you may stay for dessert. They offer several options on the dessert menu, such as the Warm Italian Doughnuts and Strawberry Cream Cake, but you might find that some are seasonal options such as the pumpkin cheesecake. The menu will change, but they currently have a few dessert available.

Current Olive Garden Dessert Menu

• Chocolate Lasagna 
• Black Tie Mousse Cake 
• Tiramisu 
• Strawberry Cream Cake 
• Warm Italian Doughnuts
•  Sicilian Cheesecake with Strawberry Topping

But that’s not why you’re here. You want to learn more about the Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden! 

Flavor, Taste, and Texture of the Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden

The description of the cake says that it's rich layered cake with chocolate cake, dark chocolate cheesecake, and creamy custard mousse. I would say that this is a very dense and sweet option that makes it perfect for sharing. After a few bites, you’ll feel satiated, especially if you’re rounding out your meal. 

The Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden is a creamy dessert with visible layers. There is the cake layer on the bottom followed by  chocolate cheesecake, and then the custard mousse. It has chocolate chips on the exterior edge and a sort of ganache topping. Because of the various layers, you’ll notice different textures: the dryer bite of chocolate cake, the smooth cheesecake, and crunch of chocolate chips. 

My favorite part was the chocolate cheesecake portion, the chocolate ganache on top, and the chocolate chips. This is a great cake if you're a chocolate lover, but if you don't like chocolate, then you probably would want to get something else.

I tasted all the current options from the Olive Garden dessert menu and Black Tie Mousse Cake was one of my favorites. I preferred this much more than the strawberry cheesecake, but you might like strawberry if you want a fruity dessert. 

For Here or To Go?

The cake slice was just as tasty when I brought it home as when I ate it in the store. This is a great option if you want to a dessert to carry away or bring back with out. If you order it to eat at the restaurant, it comes on a plate with a chocolate drizzle to give it a nice decoration.

Price of the Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake

The price may vary based on your Olive Garden location. I'm in the San Diego area and it was over $10 for the slice. The Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake not an affordable dessert by any means, but it seems about the same price as other desserts in the area.

Review: Tiana's Palace Cajun Spiced Half Chicken

I went to Tiana's Palace in Disneyland on a Wednesday evening around 7 o'clock p.m. and the line was pretty long. I waited about 10 to 15 minutes to get to the front of the line. This is kind of like buffet-style dining. You get a tray, tell them what you want, and then they just place the meal onto your plate. Once you get what you need, you pay at the register.

I had the Cajun Spiced Half Chicken from Tiana's Palace and it was great. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Sometimes chicken can be iffy (dry, chewy, gross) but this was very tasty. It had a light spice to it but I didn't find it to be too hot. The mac and cheese side was tasty but not overly memorable. Although it's kind of pricy, you do get a good amount of chicken.

I also ordered the beignets, which are fluffy and hollow on the inside. The beignets are good but best when fresh and warm. Don't delay eating them. I didn't love them but they are worth a shot. They were mostly air with a teensy, thin amount of fried dough.

There is outdoor seating, but based on how busy it is and how big your party is, you might have trouble finding a spot. When you're done eating, you return your plates and trays. If you have leftovers, you have to go inside to ask for a box.

Quality of the QuesaBirria Tacos

I live in Southern California, so I've had quite a lot of tacos, especially birria tacos. These are braised beef and cheese tacos with tomatillo salsa and consomé. The consomé was rich and salty. The tacos themselves were loaded with meat and texture, from the juicy interior to the crispy, slightly fried pieces on the outside. 

I also ordered a side of beans, but I didn't find them all that tasty. They needed a bit of salt or something. As of December 2024, the QuesaBirria Tacos cost $12.49 and the beans were $4.49. Skip the beans and try something else.

While these most certainly aren't the most affordable tacos you can find in Southern California, they are surprisingly rich and flavorful, considering they come from Disneyland.
