food IS a theme park
Hello, friends!
Walt Disney World Entrance
We’ve just spent another beautiful day at Disney World and we would like to bring you along for the ride! Are you ready! Buckle up because here we go!
If you’re a Disney World fan — there are a few dates in 2021 you need to know…

…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
Okay yes, it started to feel like the holiday season when we saw all the decorations in Magic Kingdom. And it felt even MORE like Christmas when we tried some of the festive snacks. We may have also shed a tear when we heard “Once Upon a Christmastime” playing and watched today’s character cavalcades.
Holiday Cavalcade
But now we’re officially DONE. Out for the count. FULL tears. It’s over guys. The holiday projections on Cinderella Castle are so gorgeous, so crisp, so festive — you’ve GOT to see them!
The temperature has started to drop, the fuzzy sweaters are out, and Christmas has started to sweep its way across Disney World!
Christmas Decorations
While the parks will be in a full holiday swing from November 6th through December 30th, entertainment and experiences in the parks and resorts are seeing some MAJOR differences this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
Something’s going down at Cinderella Castle!
Cinderella Castle Stage
Just yesterday, we spotted construction on a temporary STAGE in front of Cinderella Castle! Now, crews are out filming on the new stages all-day today, and it just might be for the modified ABC holiday special.
We noticed some construction in front of Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle today. Wait…what?
Cinderella Castle Stage
Yup! You heard us! As we strolled up Main Street, U.S.A. we spotted a STAGE being put together in front of the Castle. With most live entertainment currently on hold and the temporary look, we’re wondering if this could be for the modified ABC holiday special?
There’s a reason Magic Kingdom has the word “Magic” in its name, because it REALLY IS MAGIC; especially considering that it has literally gone from Halloween decorations to full-on holiday decorations OVERNIGHT.
Magic Kingdom Holidays 2020!
You can’t help but crack a smile when you walk in and see all the colorful decor. And we spent a day there just enjoying the views, riding attractions, and getting showered (literally — it did start raining) with the holiday spirit!
Who else is all dressed up and ready to celebrate Halloween? (And, yes, a themed spirit jersey does count!)
Halloween Cupcake
While we love carving pumpkins and watching scary movies at home, Disney World is still one of our top places to visit on October 31st! Today may be filled with treats like the Halloween Cupcake, Cookie, and Nitro Cake Pop, there’s a surprise for guests on the My Disney Experience app, too.
Our October was an eventful one — especially in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
With. the spooky season in full swing and the holidays creeping up right behind, we’ve certainly had LOTS of updates to share with you over the past few weeks. So, let’s look at the five MOST IMPORTANT changes we’ve seen in Magic Kingdom this month!
Nighttime entertainment has been pretty much nonexistent in a reopened Disney World.
Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party Seating
With the suspension of fireworks and limited park hours, we’ve been wondering when we’ll see any kind of nighttime show in the parks again. Of course, projections ARE confirmed for the 2020 Christmas season and it seems like Disney World is getting ready!
