food IS a theme park
Halloween weekend has arrived, which means that the holidays are — quite literally — right around the corner.
Get ready to think about decorating that tree!
And Disney World is gearing up for the season — we’ve already seen holiday decorations in the parks, we got a sneak peek at some of the holiday merchandise we’ll soon find, and we even have a list of holiday treats we can’t wait to try! And now, we’ve got some details about this year’s gingerbread displays.
It’s almost the holiday season! The decorations are already going up at Disneyland and Disney World, the holiday merch is starting to come out, and the festive times are almost upon us!
Snow’s already on Sleeping Beauty Castle!
If you’ve been looking for affordable Disney stocking stuffers, we’ve got you covered. Here are 15 Disney stocking stuffers under $10!
Disney souvenirs and merchandise can be expensive, but if you know how to time it right, you can probably catch a sale on Disney’s online store, shopDisney.
Disney World Home Decor
We let you know whenever we see a sale going on because we also get excited when we can grab our favorite Disney things on sale! And this weekend is one of those times — here’s how to save a LOT if you’re looking for some new Disney items soon. Pro tip: This is the perfect time to start some early Christmas shopping!
The holidays are coming up very soon in Disney World!
Holiday decorations at Magic Kingdom
Disney starts celebrating the holidays particularly early. In fact, there are already holiday decorations up in some areas of the parks! But, after Halloween, things really kick into high gear, with Christmas trees going up and, most importantly, special holiday FOOD being released! We recently found out about the food coming to Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Disney Springs, but we just now learned about ALL the food coming to the Disney World hotels!
From Minnie ears to plushes to keys, Disney has so many things you can collect!
Ahsoka Ears
Disney releases collectible keys online pretty regularly. We’ve seen keys for Disney Princesses, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Haunted Mansion, and more. We recently found out about some of the keys coming for the holidays this year, and they’re now available online on shopDisney!
We’re just going to say it straight: There’s not a ton of awesome options for dining in the Magic Kingdom.
Frontierland Entrance
Compared to other parks (and EPCOT especially), the options for delicious food in this park are a little more limited. But there are definitely still a couple of fan-favorite spots around, and we’re heading to one of them today to try out a few dishes. Yee-haw! We’ll meet you over in Frontierland!
It’s HALLOWEEN TIME!
And we’re so excited about this spook-tacular time of year that we wanted to offer you a little something extra — and it’s way more TREAT than trick! We’re having a big Halloween SALE at the DFB Store!
Happy Halloween!
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is in full swing, and we have already reported on the MUST HAVES for this year’s festival! But what if you have been missing ANOTHER major Disney World food and wine festival all these years and didn’t even realize it?
Swan and Dolphin Resort Area
The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is “the other” food and wine festival in the Walt Disney World area, but unlike EPCOT, you’ll only have two nights to enjoy the food, fun, and festivities. It’s also a much more condensed space, so you’ll be able to see it all in one night. Let’s look closer at the other Food and Wine fest ’round these parts!
We’ve seen plenty of adorable Halloween treats in Disney World this year.
Fall Decorations at Magic Kingdom
And we have to admit — we’ve also seen our share of not-so-cute Halloween treats as well. Today we went to a Disney World hotel restaurant to check out a returning treat from last year (spoiler alert: it was one of the not-so-cute ones last year), but we were SHOOK when we saw what this ugly duckling turned into.
Disney World drinks and snacks are kind of our thing.
Disney Springs
And one of the best places to find fun food, treats, and drinks is actually Disney Springs. Disney Springs is a shopping location that has a bunch of Disney-themed gift shops as well as other popular stores, restaurants, and kiosks. Today, we’re heading in to try a new treat that just arrived at the gelato shop there!
