food IS a theme park
Change is inevitable, even in Disney World. (ESPECIALLY in Disney World.)
Disney World
But these are GOOD changes that YOU make before AND during your vacation to make it ONE HUNDRED times better!
Disney World’s customer service is known for being top-notch. If something goes awry on your vacation, chances are a Cast Member will be able to sprinkle a little bit of pixie dust and make all your problems disappear.

But, even though Disney World’s customer service is legendary, it still isn’t the best in the country according to a new survey! So, who took the top spot?!
Here comes Santa!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Disney World is getting prepped for the holidays! Magic Kingdom has its holiday decorations up, including the iconic tree and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort’s annual gingerbread house is built. We’re getting ready to deck the halls on November 8th at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but that’s not the only exciting thing happening on November 8th!
When you’re working on your Disney World trip plans, it can be a lot, right?

And some of the biggest decisions are around the budget. I mean, you’ve got to figure out how to get to Disney World, where you’re going to sleep, what you’re going to eat, and how you’re going to get back home, all on budget of course. Now, that actually got us thinking about the things that are 100% worth buying in Disney World, no matter the cost, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!
In my four years working for Disney Food Blog, I’ve been to a LOT of hard-ticketed events.
2022 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Some of those offerings were for work, while others were for fun (we DFB employees are die-hard Disney fans just like you guys!); some of them were in Disney World, while others were in Disneyland Resort (Disney Channel Nite was a BLAST, y’all). But the ones I’ve done the most are the Disney World holiday parties! I’ve been to all three of them at this point, and I’ve got some hot tips to share.
I’m gonna cut right to the chase. There’s a big blue curtain at the Contemporary Resort in Disney World, and we’re dying to see what’s hiding back there. Just look at that thing! It looks like it belongs on the set of Let’s Make a Deal. What’s behind curtain number one?! WE MUST KNOW!
The Big Blue Curtain in question
Don’t worry. We’re not completely clueless. We know that the Contemporary Resort is preparing to unveil its annual holiday gingerbread display, and those Disney bakers are hard at work behind the scenes. But this year’s display is extra special. Why? Four words: Cinderella Castle Dream Lights. Let’s talk about it.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!

Well, Halloween is officially over and we’re gearing up for the rest of the fall season in Disney World.
Holiday Feast Time!
Who are we kidding? It’s Christmas in Magic Kingdom already! But that doesn’t mean we’ll be overlooking other holidays because yes, Thanksgiving is still a very popular time to visit Disney World. If you’ve got plans to visit Disney World on Thanksgiving, though, we’ve got some great news: you have lots of dining spots where you can grab Thanksgiving dinner.
Disney World has started decorating for the holidays, but many of the yummy fall treats are still available!
Animal Kingdom winter decorations
Soon, we’ll be eating peppermint and all things red and green, but we’re still enjoying the flavors of fall. Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a cupcake appeared on October 16th, which is the perfect fall treat! Somehow, Disney managed to put every comforting fall flavor into one yummy snack.
Disney Springs is full of some of our favorite places to eat.

Don’t get us wrong, we love dining in the theme parks, too, but some of our top recommendations can be found in the shopping and dining district. Specifically, The Polite Pig holds a special place in our hearts thanks to its incredible BBQ dining options, and we got word there was a new dessert to try. So, of course, we headed over there ASAP to tell you if this new cheesecake is worth the trip!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
