food IS a theme park
EPCOT is known to host some incredible (and super delicious) festivals!

The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival may have ended on November 22nd, but we’re already getting excited for the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which will be starting up in just a few days! And, it looks like Disney is really getting ready for the holidays to take over, as we just spotted some Festival of the Holidays booths up in EPCOT!
Walt Disney World usually receives much bigger crowds during the holiday season!
Tomorrowland Crowds
Every year, guests flock to the parks to experience the holiday offerings and take advantage of their vacation time off. Thanksgiving week, Christmas week, and New Year’s Eve is notoriously crowded with out-of-towners. The trend seems to be the same this year, despite Disney World reducing capacity limits since the closure in March. We’re in the parks today taking note of the crowds and wait times to better prepare you for your holiday trip to Disney World in 2020.
The Annual Passholder pop-up shop in EPCOT was a true treasure trove of deals and cool merchandise!
Merchandise
Although the pop-up shop is no longer available, Annual Passholders will soon be able to shop for some exclusive merchandise at 4 locations in Magic Kingdom!

There are lots of projects going on at Disneyland Paris right now!

At last week’s IAAPA expo, we got several updates on the ongoing projects, including Hotel New York — Art of Marvel and Avengers Campus. However, the park has also had some difficulties recently, as the park didn’t achieve net positive contribution in Q4 and recently had to close its gates again due to a nationwide lockdown in France. Even with all of this, we’ve just received positive news from Disneyland Paris, as we recently got an update on construction for the new Cars Route 66 Road Trip attraction!
Are you ready for more holiday cheer?

The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for Walt Disney World!
Holiday Crowds
People travel from all over to check out the Christmas decorations, the holiday snacks, and Mickey and friends dressed in their festive best! During this time when many guests have extra days off of work, the parks can get pretty crowded, and it can be more difficult to plan your trip. That’s why we’ve been trying to keep our readers updated on the latest in Disney Park Pass availability, and today we’ve got lots to share!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
