food IS a theme park
Hello, friends, from Disney’s Animal Kingdom! ROAR!
Animal Kingdom
We took some time to make our way around this WILD park to see what’s new since the last time we were here. So here are all the latest updates!
If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World in February 2021, then listen up!
Magic Kingdom
This morning, park hours were released through February 27th, so make sure to make your Disney Park Pass reservations for your trip (if you haven’t already). If you’re traveling the last full week in February, you can still hit up the last days of the Festival of the Arts, and you can take advantage of the fact that Park Hopping is returning to make sure you get everything done on your list! With the hours finally listed on Disney’s site, it’s time to kick your planning into gear!
Sometimes, we just want to feel like mermaids. Who can blame us? Life IS the bubbles under the sea.
Little Mermaid Ears
Disney has been piling on the fun new ears this year so our collections keep growing and growing. We’ve seen the Silver and Gold Ears, Wintery Blue Minnie Ears (which also JUST arrived in Disney World — stay tuned for info), and many more. Now, we’ve spotted another pair that we definitely want to make part of our world.
We’ve been checking out everything that’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and also nearby at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
View of Expedition Everest
We noticed some construction updates over at Kilimanjaro Safaris and some pretty big crowds over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We got to experience a nice holiday ambiance at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and some sweet holiday treats!
With the holidays now upon us, we’ve certainly seen an uptick in crowds at Disney World recently.
Cinderella Castle
And today, all four parks at Disney World have reached capacity. But what does that look like? We’ve got photos and videos from the parks to show you!
We have tried so many holiday treats this year! SO MANY!
Santa Eggnog Crepe
That includes Holiday Crepes, Holiday Bon Bons, Yule Logs, and a Chocolate and Peppermint Boba drink. But sometimes, we just crave some of our old favorites, and we get really excited when they return!
There are a LOT of great rides in Disney World and we definitely have strong opinions about our favorites.
Magic Kingdom
But, that doesn’t mean that all of our opinions are the same as yours! We took a look at the Top Attraction in Walt Disney World by Traveler Ranking list on TripAdvisor to see just what YOU are ranking as the BEST rides in each park — and some of the results surprised us!
It’s the holidays, and that means it’s peppermint season — and we’ve tasted SO MANY peppermint treats already this year!
Minnie Peppermint Cookie
From peppermint cupcakes to peppermint churros to a candy cane martini, we’ve had our share of minty treats!
We don’t know about you, but we LOVE gingerbread flavors this time of year — gingerbread is what the holidays taste like!
Gingerbread Muffins
And so far this year, we’ve already tried gingerbread cakes, gingerbread churros, gingerbread cookies, and a gingerbread cupcake. Bring on the gingerbread!
The holiday season has been in full swing at the Disney World Resort for about a month now, and we’re STILL trying new snacks that are just starting to arrive in the parks! As recently as yesterday we were stopping by AristoCrepes in Disney Springs to try their newest menu addition, the Santa Crepe!
Santa Eggnog Crepe
We also had to pack our patience for another holiday treat to appear at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and our fingers were crossed that the Santa Mickey Mousse from Creature Comforts would be worth the wait!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
