Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar is back in its 1940s Halloween dress at Disney Springs, and this year the seasonal menu is almost entirely new. Five plates and five drinks join the returning Alien Invader Sliders, and the decor hides fresh references to Jock's aviation past and to a 1991 Disney film. The overlay runs through November 9.

Halloween is back at the Hangar Bar
The Halloween treatment returns by popular demand, and it is a full room overlay rather than a menu insert. Kitschy 1940s decorations go up across the bar, the diving bell and the outdoor decks, and the seasonal food and drink is exclusive to the run.
Five new plates on the Halloween menu
The savory side is where most of this year's additions sit. Every item below is new for the 2026 run.
Candelabra Eggs: deviled eggs, crispy fried chicken, sweet and tart pepper sauce, aji amarillo custard
Dark Forest Dip: roasted mixed mushrooms, baby rainbow carrots, hummus, toasted pumpkin seeds, pita
Bone Kebabs: pork and beef bone kebabs, prosciutto, creamy tomato sauce, kataifi straws
Midnight Mayhem Popcorn Chicken: crispy fried chicken, candied bacon, spiced walnuts, popcorn, hot honey sauce
Skull of the Dead Dip: barbacoa beef, cheddar sauce, spicy fried onion straws, plantain chips
The one holdover is the item guests asked for. The Alien Invader Sliders are back, built on Nashville hot fried chicken with provolone, dill pickle and a cheddar chive biscuit, with queen olives standing in for the alien eyes.
The Halloween drink list
Fright of the Espresso is new and arrives as a flight of three cold brew builds rather than a single glass:
- Cold brew and pumpkin spice liqueur, garnished with pumpkin spice
- Cold brew, Kahlúa, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Baileys Original Irish Cream and salted caramel syrup, garnished with caramel popcorn
- Cold brew, Kahlúa, Tito's Handmade Vodka and toasted marshmallow syrup, garnished with candy corn marshmallows
Four more drinks join it, and one of them is alcohol free. The Viper's Nest is built on pineapple and white cranberry juice with butterfly pea extract, which is what gives it the color shift, so it is the option for guests who want the theming without the bar.
Skull and Sour: Jameson Irish Whiskey, Bols Peach Schnapps, lemon juice, pumpkin spice syrup, green apple pearls, gummy strands
Temple of Doom Margarita: Patrón Silver, Bols Blackberry Brandy, blackberry purée, habanero lime syrup, lime juice
Midnight Relic: Tito's Handmade Vodka, ube syrup, cream of coconut, lemon juice, edible glitter
Viper's Nest (no alcohol): pineapple juice, white cranberry, green apple and blue curaçao syrups, Sprite, butterfly pea extract
The frozen drinks are grouped into a sampler called the Fright Flight, which pours the Candy Corn Colada, Vampire's Kiss, Purple People Eater and The Graveyard in one order. It is the efficient way through the frozen list for a table that cannot agree.
Inside the 1940s Halloween decor
The decorating conceit is that all of it belongs to Jock, pulled out of storage and added to the memorabilia already hanging in the hangar. That is why the pieces skew vintage rather than modern Halloween store.
Pumpkin scarecrows greet guests at the front entrance, and one of them is worth a second look: he is flying an airplane, mimicking Jock himself with a chilling twist.
Inside, the room reads warmer than spooky. Vintage lanterns, garland, a witch and paper black cats give it the feel of a Halloween party from decades earlier, the kind where the theming is in the corners rather than in a jump scare.
Guests who land the diving bell have company overhead: a patch of jack-o'-lanterns has taken up residence above the table, flickering through the night.
In the far corner, a band of card stock black cats in the vintage Beistle style watches the room. Beistle is the Pennsylvania company whose die cut Halloween decorations defined the look of American Halloween in the 1930s and 1940s, which is exactly the period the bar is set in.
The best of the deep cuts is above and to the right of the bar. A weathered banner for "Bigelow's Air Circus" is a reference to the 1991 Disney film The Rocketeer, and a second nod to the same film turns up on a "South Seas Club" coaster.
Reggie's cage is empty again, so Jock's pet boa constrictor is somewhere on the move. When he comes back he will have to slink past a set of retro blow molds lit from inside.
Tinsel garland, the kind that was everywhere in the 1940s, zigzags in front of Jock's treasures, including the banner for his win in the National Air Races.
Who is Jock Lindsey
Jock is Indiana Jones' barnstorming pilot, the one who flies him out of trouble in Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the bar's backstory he stumbled onto Disney Springs in 1938 while chasing a mythology tip through Central Florida, liked the natural springs enough to buy waterfront property, and built an airplane hangar as his home base. The bar grew out of the hangar.
The room is packed with artifacts tying into both the Indiana Jones films and the wider Society of Explorers and Adventurers, the fictional club that turns up across Disney parks from Tokyo DisneySea to the Adventurers Club that once stood on this same site. The implication is that Jock was a member or close to one, and that his hangar became a meeting place for the society's travellers.
What this means for guests
The Hangar Bar takes walk-ups and it sits inside Disney Springs, which needs no ticket, no park reservation and no paid parking. That makes the Halloween overlay one of the few seasonal experiences on property a guest can see on a night with no park day attached.
Two practical notes. The bar is small and the outdoor deck fills first on cool evenings, so an early arrival is worth more here than at most Disney Springs venues. And the seasonal items come off the menu on November 9, when the district turns over to its holiday programming.
