food IS a theme park
Are you ready to go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom?
Tree of Life
We’ve been admiring the holiday decorations, getting ready for the holiday popcorn buckets coming to the park, and checking out new merchandise. And now, we’re here to share the newest updates with all of you!
What are you looking forward to this holiday season in Disney World?
Hollywood Studios Christmas Tree
Maybe it’s the giant gingerbread displays, the snoap, or the festive treats, but no matter what it is that you’re looking forward to, there’s a LOT to do this year during the holidays! A staple of the holiday season is meeting and getting pictures with Jolly Old Saint Nicholas (AKA Santa!) and we’ve got more details on how you can meet him without a park ticket!
The holidays aren’t the only things picking up in Disney World right now!
Adventureland was packed
We’ve continued to watch holiday decorations and touches pop-up across Disney World and now we’re seeing more of the holiday crowds start to come to the parks. Not only do the holidays draw people to the parks, but there was also the runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon which brought LOTS of runners to Disney World! But today, after the race weekend has ended, the crowds were even bigger and you’ve gotta see them to believe them.
UPDATE: Looking for 2023 Disney World popcorn buckets? We’ve got them all right here!
It’s that time of year — the holidays have arrived in Disney World!
Happy Holidays!
There is a lot to do around this time of year including admiring the giant gingerbread displays at the hotels, visiting Magic Kingdom during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and eating your way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. We’ve also taken a look at all of the merchandise available in the park, but now we’re talking popcorn buckets and sippers!
When you go to Disney World, you have to prepare for a lot of things.
Rainy Day
Ride closures, severe weather, transportation closures — all of these things could complicate your trip. It’s currently hurricane season for the Atlantic runs started in June and ends on November 30th, and since the summer we’ve seen quite a few storms. Right now, a new storm is headed towards Florida.
Having a great Disney bag can help make your day in the parks better!
Loungeflys
There are a few essentials you want to bring into the park, but you don’t want a bag that’s too small or too big. That’s where Disney Loungefly backpacks enter the chat — most of the backpacks are the perfect size for your park essentials, so we’re constantly looking out for new ones to share with you. And now, there’s another Loungefly you should check out in Disney World!
Disney World hotels are the place to BE around the holidays!
Grand Floridian
We’ve seen decor go up around the parks, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party kicks off in just a few days, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is just around the corner.

Fantasmic! is back!
Fantasmic! has been closed since the parks shut down in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve been watching construction from a bird’s eye view on the stage for a while now, and Disney teased its return a few times.
