food IS a theme park
It’s almost time for cruise season!
Captain Minnie on the Disney Magic!
With all of this excitement going on, it might make you wonder what the best way is to get a good deal on a cruise.
The holiday season is not only in full swing, but the ACTUAL holidays are finally upon us!
The holidays have arrived!
That means that things are getting pretty busy in Disney World. The crowds are arriving and Genie+ has already reached its highest price yet. But that’s not all. If you were planning on visiting Magic Kingdom this week and have not yet made a park pass reservation, well, we’ve got some bad news for you.
Christmas Eve has finally arrived in Disney World.
Christmas is officially in Disney World!
Of course, we’ve been celebrating the holidays since early November, way back when the first decorations started going up in the parks. We went to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and we’ve been busy eating ALL the holiday snacks. But now, the day BEFORE the big day is finally here. Now, Christmas Eve is usually a very busy day in the parks, so let’s take a look at the crowds in Disney World.
Ever wish you could recreate Disney dishes at home?
Holiday Mickey and Minnie rice crispy treats
While we can’t transport entire Disney restaurants to our houses, we can use Disney’s own recipes to create some delicious park-inspired meals! So let’s have a look at some of the recipes they shared just in time for the holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Magic Kingdom
Where else would we be spending the holidays other than the Most Magical Place on Earth? Yep, we’re at Disney World on Christmas Eve, and before we even got to the parks this morning, we knew it would be a pretty busy day! The holiday season brings in a lot of visitors no matter what day it is, and that has a tendency to drive up Genie+ prices. Here’s what you can expect on Christmas Eve!
Several attraction and restaurant closures will affect the Disney World parks and hotels next week.
Cinderella Castle
Occasionally, rides, attractions, hotels, and kiosks have to temporarily close down in Disney World as Cast Members update and refurbish them. Let’s check out everything that will be closed next week, from December 24th through the 30th!
Start checking the couch cushions for spare change — you’ll need every last penny to buy this dream home.
Cinderella Castle
Who hasn’t wanted to live in a castle, like something out of a fairytale? Living like royalty in a beautiful palace with your own happily ever after is the dream. Well, bucking the trend of our usual updates on ways to save money, we’re here to show you something truly lavish — a fairytale castle for sale!
Okay, we have to ask seriously: Why does Disneyland get all the BEST snacks?
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Now, don’t get us wrong, we’ve enjoyed a lot of the holiday treats at Disney World, but Disneyland just seems to go a little harder on the food pretty much year-round. Where else are you going to get a Waffle version of the Monte Cristo? Or a Cinnamon Roll Pretzel? Well, let’s just say we tried three NEW snacks in Disneyland, and well, Disneyland has done it again.
We’ll keep this short and sweet because we have big news to share.
Target
First of all, you can buy Disney park tickets at Target. It’s a little-known fact, but it’s a great way to save a little money (especially if you have a Target RedCard!). Second, if you watch for Target Circle deals, you can get FREE gift cards just by shopping the sales! Now, let’s combine all that information into one GREAT announcement: you can get a free Target gift card when you buy Disneyland Resort park tickets on the Target website! Let us show you.
We’ve been talking about it for weeks, but the week before Christmas has arrived…and boy is it busy!
Magic Kingdom crowds
Park passes have been selling out for all ticket types, several Annual Passholders are now blocked out, the multi-park and Magic Kingdom Genie+ options sold out, and (we’re not gonna sugar-coat it) the parks have felt CROWDED. That’s why we’re always warning you about this time of year in the parks — although it’s a fun place to spend the holidays, you have to prepare for these kinds of things! But just how bad were the wait times during this hectic week? Let’s find out!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
