food IS a theme park
Planning your next trip to Walt Disney World? There are a LOT of things you need to keep in mind, including recent changes like the upcoming reintroduction of Park Hopping!
Tower of Terror
But, one thing you’ll also want to watch out for are the parks’ hours. We’ve seen these change quite a bit over the past few weeks and months. If you’re planning a trip for late January or early February of 2021, more park hours have been released that can help you plan!
If you like to eat popcorn at Disney World, a refillable popcorn bucket is a must!
Christmas Tree Popcorn Bucket
And lucky for you, there are SO MANY cool popcorn buckets to choose from, especially now during the holiday season, including a Mickey Elf popcorn bucket, A snowy Christmas tree popcorn bucket, and more!
Earlier this year, Hong Kong Disneyland (like the other Disney theme parks around the world) had to close temporarily due to the global pandemic. It eventually reopened, but then had to close and reopen a second time.

The park is officially open now, and celebrating a huge accomplishment — the opening of its one of a kind Castle of Magical Dreams! This is the first time an existing castle in a Disney park has shifted from being themed to just one princess to being representative of many heroines. Oh, and it’s absolutely gorgeous!
According to the laws of nature, food is meant to be eaten, right? As extravagant or as Instagram-worthy a snack may seem, eventually, we have to face the music and, well…destroy it.
The Ganachery
That said, how much would YOU be willing to pay for a food item that was intentionally meant to be totally demolished? Over at The Ganachery, that question was put to the test when we came across their newest holiday treat.

By now, you may have noticed that we’ve been trying all of the festive Christmas treats around Disney World!
Grand Floridian Lobbby
While some holiday snacks can be found in multiple locations around property, others are truly unique and can only be found in ONE spot! Case in point: Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa serve one-of-a-kind treats EVERY year, and some of our favorites have returned!
We’ve been noshing our way around Disney World’s holiday snacks and treats and we just can’t get enough!
Reindeer Food
From Chocolate Peppermint Bark to Reindeer Food to a Spiced Cookie shaped like a moose, we’ve tried it! But we’re not done yet — so we just headed over to Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs to try a NEW holiday treat!
Things are constantly changing at Walt Disney World!
Pirates of the Caribbean
Just today, Disney announced that Park Hopping will be coming back in 2021, and that 3 restaurants in Disney World will be reopening very soon! We’ve also seen construction updates throughout the parks and so much more. Today, as we walked around Magic Kingdom, we noticed that one attraction’s signature icon in front was looking very different.
We started our new year off with some AMAZING Disney news — Park Hopping officially returned to Disney World on January 1st, 2021!
Disney World
We know there are a LOT of questions about this big change, and we’re here to help! With that being said, since we still have to book our park passes ahead of time, which park should we choose to visit first thing in the morning?
