food IS a theme park
Have you ever wondered how Disney’s Polynesian Resort celebrates Christmastime in Disney World?
Christmas Decorations at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Although their approach is a bit more lei-ed back, their Christmas decorations are totally on point!
Animal Kingdom’s celebrating Christmas for the very first time this holiday season with a ton of new stuff — including this gorgeous Tree of Life Awakenings mural we can’t stop staring at!
Animal Kingdom Holiday Mural
Based on the new holiday version of Tree of Life Awakenings, this mural teases the wonder and magic that will appear when the tree comes to life each night. And while we’ve been snapping photos with the wall constantly (yeah, we’re a little obsessed!), now there’s new a way to take a piece of this lovely mural’s artwork home with you!
If you want to do Disney right, you’ve gotta get your head in the game!
NBA Experience
We love keeping an eye out for new ways to save at Disney World, especially on park tickets that just keep getting pricier! Well, we spotted the return of a unique ticket that makes each day in the parks a little more affordable. Plus, it’s got the new option of adding on an NBA Experience admission, so check out the 4-Park Magic Ticket!
It’s official everybody — Disney+ is over a week old!
Disney+ Bus
And while Disney’s new live streaming service has had a few hiccups since it first launched, we’re still super STOKED it’s finally here! Plus, we just spotted the new Disney+ Bus wrap at Disney World today (hollaaaa)!
Ho, Ho, HO! Who wouldn’t go to Disney Springs this holiday season!
Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail
With the Christmas Tree Trail is open for business, we can’t think of a jollier way to spend the day — and now we’ve just spotted a new specialty holiday cocktail up on the rooftop!
It’s Rising Moons over Batuu as we are all eagerly awaiting the upcoming arrival of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge BIG e-ticket attraction, Star Wars: Rise of The Resistance.
Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge at Night
Expected to open on December 5th at Walt Disney World (and Disneyland on January 17th) we felt some serious hype at D23 this year when we were treated to the first real look at the attraction. And later when we got to actually GO INSIDE and experience it for ourselves!
There’s no shortage of wonderful things at Disney World’s Polynesian Resort!
Boutiki at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
And whenever we make the monorail trip over this magical South Seas oasis (especially to sip on some of its delicious seasonal cocktails!), we always take the time to stop by our favorite island boutique, Boutiki — one of the resort’s gift shops! In fact, that’s where we were today when we spotted this hilarious new Disney merch!
Mickey Beignets — one of Disney World’s most perfect foods!
Mickey Gingerbread Beignet
If you’ve ever had a Mickey Beignet at Disney Port Orleans — French Quarter Resort, you know definitely what we’re talkin’ about! But whether you’re new to the Mickey Beignet-scene happening at Disney World, or you’re a doughy powdered sugar pro, it’s time to get off your duff and head on down to Scat Cat’s Club for this year’s Gingerbread Mickey Beignets!
These snacks have us devotin’ full time to floatin’!
Journey of the Little Mermaid
Can you believe The Little Mermaid movie is 30 years old? Neither can we!!! But it sure is. In fact, yesterday was Ariel’s “birthday” and we’re ready to celebrate! You can sit down for a Little Mermaid-inspired meal at Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot for a more formal celebration OR swim over to Magic Kingdom for a ride on Journey of the Little Mermaid and try some limited-time undersea snacks.
GOOD NEWS! Your young Padawans won’t be askin’, “Are we there yet?” once you finally land at the Orlando International Airport to begin your epic Disney World vacation!
