Popsugar Living Disney Food Villain Halloween High Tea at Disneyland Steakhouse 55 Disney's Halloween High Tea Service Is Themed After Its Most Memorable Villains 24 August 2018 by Erin Cullum Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Erin Cullum When you think of high tea, you probably envision a group of people in their Sunday best sipping tea with their pinkies out and eating finger sandwiches from fancy plates. But this Halloween at Disneyland, things have taken a very dark (and dangerously clever) turn with an all-new villain-themed high tea service. Available beginning on Sept. 7 at Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel, this limited-edition activity is certainly worth booking in advance. Disney drew inspiration from some its its best — or worst? — villains and created an entire spread that pays homage to them. Maleficent's "horns" make an appearance on the menu in the form of ruby red microgreens atop edamame-avocado smash on pumpernickel bread. The Lion King's Scar is a red pepper hummus-smeared sandwich that stands tall over the others, acting as an edible version of Pride Rock. Half the fun of making your way through each item is deciphering the connection to the character; the Disney food experts who created the menu left no detail unnoticed. This time last year, Steakhouse 55 had a special high tea service, but it was just a general Halloween theme. This year's villain theme heightens the experience even more, and it's a not-so-scary way to celebrate the season with your friends. Take a look at the details ahead, and plan on stopping by while it's on the menu from Friday through Sunday (from noon until 3 p.m.) until Oct. 31.

Guests will also choose their tea from an array of options including apple pie green tea, coconut black tea, lychee green tea, and mulled spice. Plus, each table comes with a different flower arrangement based on a villain. 1 / 9 A Plate Full of Dangerous (and Delicious) Villains Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Erin Cullum The aforementioned Scar-inspired sandwich stands tall in the middle, while a mini prime rib sandwich with cream of horseradish, peppadew peppers, and pickles on toasted sourdough joins the party as Beauty and the Beast's Gaston. 2 / 9 Can You Spot Maleficent?

Disney got creative with this one and experimented with ways to turn the egg white a purplish black, settling on a combination of squid ink and blueberry puree. The spooky deviled egg is filled with beet puree (mixed with the yolk) and topped with tokibo caviar and seaweed. 4 / 9 A Mean Lineup of Sweets Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Erin Cullum The Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket was all the rage last year, but that was before we saw these Oogie Boogie chocolate-covered strawberries — could they be any cooler? You'll also want to sink your teeth into the "poison" apple, which is a harmless combination of cinnamon Bavarian mousse and salted caramel. 5 / 9 Off With Their (Chocolate-Covered Strawberry) Heads Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Erin Cullum Oogie Boogie suddenly seems less terrifying when you're about to bite his head off — the Queen of Hearts sits nearby practically screaming at you to do it. 6 / 9 Gingerbread Cookies Get a Voodoo Spin Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Erin Cullum There might be a little bit of voodoo magic involved in these Dr. Facilier-inspired voodoo doll gingerbread cookies. 7 / 9 What's a High Tea Service Without Scones?

There's a candy corn-shaped pastry with maple and pecan icing and a chocolate chip scone with chocolate icing. 8 / 9 Head to Steakhouse 55 While It's Available Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Erin Cullum The villain-themed high tea won't last long.
