This year’s EPCOT Festival of Holidays is a little different from previous years.

One big change is that the Candlelight Processional was canceled this year.
A couple of weeks ago, Orange County in California re-entered the most restrictive reopening tier, the Purple Tier, due to a rise in positive case rates. Since then, the county has had to close indoor dining operations, as well as reduce capacity at indoor retail locations to 25%.
Disney California Adventure Park
Now, 11 counties across Southern California, including Orange County where Disneyland is located, will enter a new stay-at-home order.
The lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is currently decked out with festive holiday decor.

But the gigantic Christmas tree and gingerbread treats aren’t the only things that have recently returned to the resort. Now, guests can once again enjoy live music in the lobby!

Magic Kingdom Holidays
It’s the season of gift-giving which is why we’ve been putting together several gift guides for you to follow! And we recently told you that you have to order your DFB merch SOON so that you can get it in time for Christmas!

If you’ve got money to burn, and you’re shopping for gifts for someone who is REALLY on the nice list, then we found the perfect earrings for you!
Our love for cookies at Disney World runs DEEP. About as deep as the deep-dish Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies at Hollywood Studios, which we’ve been HUGE fans of!

A little known secret, though, is that Disney doesn’t actually even make these cookies! They come from a local bakery, and just this week that bakery announced you can no longer get these cookies directly from their shop in nearby Winter Garden!
No matter what galaxy we’re on, we like our coffee as strong as the Force.
Star Wars Hoodie Pullover
So we can’t think of a better way to kickstart our day than with a cup of coffee in a collectible Star Wars mug from Starbucks!
Although most of Disneyland Resort remains closed, there are some parts of the resort that have reopened.
Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney reopened this past summer, and Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure recently reopened with limited shopping and dining.
