Beginning October 1, 2026, the Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich at Terra Treats will arrive in a fall-themed version. The core build stays the same: vanilla ice cream pressed between a layer of edible cookie dough loaded with chocolate chips and sprinkles and a slab of chocolate brownie. The change is in the sprinkles, which will now come in autumn shades of red, orange, yellow, and green.

BoardwalkTimes shared the update on X, writing, “The viral Ice Cream Cookie Dough Sandwich at Terra Treats at Disney's Animal Kingdom is getting a Fall version.”

A Snack With a Track Record

Disney World has produced plenty of social media food moments over the years, from the pickle shake to the cheeseburger spring rolls. The Terra Treats sandwich earned its own spot on that list after it spread quickly among guests online. Expect the seasonal version to follow the same path, with influencers lining up to photograph and review it as soon as it launches.

Animal Kingdom's Bigger Picture

Animal Kingdom is typically the quietest of Disney World's four theme parks, but it has built its identity around celebrating world cultures through both its food and its animal encounters. That identity is set to expand. The Tropical Americas land will replace DinoLand U.S.A. and bring two new headline experiences, one based on 2021's Encanto and another built around the Indiana Jones franchise. New dining and shopping locations are also planned for the land.

How Long Will It Last?

Disney has not said how long the fall sandwich will stay on the menu. Given the seasonal theme, it will most likely be swapped out once the winter and Christmas season rolls in later this year. If you are visiting Animal Kingdom between October and the start of the holidays, Terra Treats is worth a stop. Plan on the item disappearing once festive menus take over.

Thomas Hitchen

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.
