food IS a theme park
Oh Dawa Bar, oh Dawa Bar, how yummy are your cocktails!
Decor at Dawa Bar in Africa
And we just had to head over to this Animal Kingdom watering hole (all festively decorated for Christmas!) to sample their new holiday drink, the Sikukuu!
It’s a beautiful time to be at Animal Kingdom, because the holidays are here!
Satu’li Canteen
In true holiday spirit, ’tis the season to stuff our faces, and the Animal Kingdom has certainly been delivering for that! Between the Peppermint Soft-Serve and Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwich, the park has placed a heavy emphasis on being merry n’ minty! Today we had the chance to add another minty-fresh treat to our list over at Satu’li Canteen in Pandora.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating the holiday season in a BIG way this year!
Polar Bear Puppet
And while we love hangin’ around the Tree of Life holiday mural, Donald’s Dino-Bash (which has a holiday overlay!) and seeing Animal Kingdom’s unique Christmas decorations throughout all of its lands (including Pandora!) if you’re anything like us, it’s all about the Merry Menagerie puppets!
Things are really heatin’ up for Star Wars fans!

Now that Rise of the Resistance is opening in Disney World TOMORROW and Disney+’s The Mandalorian is preoccupying most of the country’s spare time, we just spotted these new Funko POP! toys at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
There are SO many aspects of the holidays to love at Disney World!
Candlelight Processional
From festive treats to cheery decorations, we can’t get enough! One of our favorite yearly holiday events at the parks, though, has to be the Candlelight Processional at Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays. The show combines a reading of a traditional scripture (performed by a celebrity narrator), accompanied by a massive choir and live orchestra for a truly special experience.
We tend to find a menagerie of good Disney parks merch at Magic Kingdom’s Big Top Souvenirs!
Big Top Souvenirs
And today was no exception! Not only did we see some fun 2020 merchandise for the New Year, but we also spotted something pretty surprising and SUPER fun — Disney Parks Pez Dispensers!
We’re catching a sleigh down to Disney Springs this season because there are SO many ways to celebrate!
Christmas Tree Trail
Yes, SO MANY WAYS to get your holidays on! From a sleighful of holiday treats (we’re looking at you, Holiday Funnel Cake!) to super cute Christmas decorations all around (like at Jock Lindsay’s Hangar Bar!), we’re having a blast checkin’ out everything that Disney Springs has to offer for the season. Needless to say, it’s hard to pick a favorite, but we’re LOVING the Christmas Tree Trail! Now, there’s a new way to bring the charm of the Trail home with you — wanna see???

Will you be joining the fight for the Resistance – or will you side with the First Order? Those are the paths you can choose with the NEW Rise of the Resistance jobs that will become available on the Disney Play app starting December 5, 2019 in Disney World! Coinciding with the opening of the Rise of the Resistance ride in Hollywood Studios (coming “tomorrowwww, tomorrowwww!!”), this new addition will be coming to the Star Wars: Datapad on the Disney Play app, and we are SO excited to see what it entails!
It’s a beautiful day at Disney World, DFB friends!
New Restrooms at Hollywood Studios
First, we rode Rise of the Resistance for the first time, then we got to go inside Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and NOW the sky looks EVEN brighter because there’s a bunch of shiny, new restrooms that just opened in Hollywood Studios!
