You won’t be surrounded by multiple feet of snow, but there will be days in the winter month when you will feel a chill in the air. Make sure you are prepared with the proper clothing, but also be prepared for some unexpected closures that may occur due to cold weather.
Okay, when that sweet tooth hits in Disney World, where do you usually go? There are so many good options, after all, like Main Street Confectionery and Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom, as well as Karamell-Küche and Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in EPCOT, among others.
Amorette’s Patisserie

But that’s not all fans can be excited about; we recently spotted a new very FANCY Miss Piggy watch that every Muppets fan is going to want!

However, you’ll also need to think about what you’ll need to pack for your day bag in the parks, and one thing we ALWAYS recommend is a portable charger. See…you’ll be on your phone a LOT in Disney World. You’ll be using your phone for mobile ordering, mobile check-out, unlocking your room, booking Lightning Lane selections, and SO much more. All that usage is harsh on your phone’s battery life, so you’ll need a portable charger. The good news is that four NEW portable chargers are now available on Amazon.
It looks like 2025 is going to be a busy year in Disney World — y’all, it’s only January, and so much is already going on.
