food IS a theme park
It’s the most magical time of the year!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
Get ready to see Disney World decked out with twinkling lights, nostalgic snacks, and one-of-a-kind entertainment because it’s almost Christmas time in the Sunshine State.
Heads up, Stitch fans, you may want to start your holiday shopping early!
Santa Stitch
On September 2nd, a BRAND-NEW Stitch-themed holiday item is coming to Amazon. However, the product is available to preorder RIGHT NOW, and given how popular it’s sure to be, it might be wise to jump on it ASAP!
We know, we know, it’s not even Halloween season yet, but Disney’s always ahead of the game, and so are we!
Jollywood Nights Map
Jollywood Nights is a specially themed winter event that debuted in Disney’s Hollywood Studios two years ago. The first year the event debuted, Disney had to deal with a bit of a learning curve. But as the event carried on, things kept getting better, and now, a lot of us are wondering if we’ll see it return in 2025. While Disney hasn’t officially confirmed anything just yet, we have a pretty good feeling that Jollywood Nights will return in 2025. Here’s what we know.
Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas?
Christmas decor in the Magic Kingdom 2024
If you ask Disney World, the answer is no. Disney knows a thing or two about celebrating all holidays… especially early. In most cases, we see Halloween decorations start popping up in early August, but hey, we aren’t complaining!
Well, we have some good and, unfortunately, bad news for those who have been patiently waiting for Disney World to transform into a winter wonderland.
It’s a Christmas miracle!
Magic Kingdom
The hugely popular Mickey and Minnie Gingerbread House Popcorn Bucket is now available in Magic Kingdom during the daytime! At the beginning of the season, it was only available at Disneyland, but then it became available at Magic Kingdom ONLY during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Then it was available in limited quantities at some of the Disney World hotels with gingerbread displays.
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas! It’s officially the week of Christmas, and we’re hitting the parks to enjoy all the festive activities.
Christmas at Magic Kingdom
The week of Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year. Many people enjoy spending the holidays with friends and family at the Disney World resort. It truly is one of the most magical places on Earth to celebrate Christmas. You can celebrate at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. You can enjoy special holiday treats and the jolliest holiday atmosphere ever. But when we say that this time of year is BUSY, we really mean it. Here’s a bit of proof for ya!
It’s the holiday season, and one of our favorite traditions here at DFB is enjoying all the traditional baked goods!
Merry Christmas!
This year, the TSA has shared a reminder for the holidays that you are welcome to bring solid foods such as cookies, cakes, pies, and brownies through security checkpoints at airports. However, if a food item you plan to take with you on a flight spills, spreads, sprays, pumps, or pours, you’ll need to pack it in your checked bag! They also suggest packing a bit of extra tissue paper in with your baked goods as extra padding as they are going through security. The TSA also shared that its officers love cookies and baked goods as much as anyone and five officers shared their personal cookie recipes!
We’ll admit it — we’re guilty of procrastinating when it comes to our holiday shopping.

We’ve found some Disney Loungefly bags (which make PERFECT gifts) that you can order now and still get in time for Christmas. Last-minute holiday shopping achievement unlocked!
