food IS a theme park
We’ve got another fun find for all the Disney patch fans out there!
Walt Disney World Patches
Ok, so these juuuuust missed Christmas in July by a matter of days… but we’re still happy to see this CHRISTMAS “Patched” Set decking the halls in EPCOT’s Mouse Gear! [Read more…]
The most wonderful time of the year will be here more quickly than you might think, and we’re starting to wonder about some of the festivities that could take place in Disney World.
Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration
The global health crisis has had a significant effect on the way things operate in the Disney parks, and things haven’t stopped adjusting yet. We recently shared that Disney has canceled Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party completely for 2020. Well, Christmastime is not too long after that event, so will Disney World cancel Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? It’s a question we’re getting a LOT from our readers and followers on social media, so let’s take a look at what we know.
Christmas comes year-round at the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. This cheery little shop has finally re-opened along with the rest of Disney Springs AND they got some new decorations to add to your collection!
Jungle Cruise
Christmas is six months away, but we think this a great time to stock up on holiday cheer! On our latest visit, we spotted some NEW and quirky ornaments based on Walt Disney World’s Jungle Cruise. These cuties would make Dr. Albert Falls proud.
The year is not even halfway over but we are already thinking about the holiday season in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle all lit up during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
And it seems like many of you readers have the holidays on your minds TOO, because we get the same question all the time: “When does Disney decorate for Christmas?” (And whether you want the year to be flying by so fast or not, you can make those Advance Dining Reservations for Christmas day NEXT MONTH.)
So today we’re laying out a timeline of when you can expect to see Christmas decor popping up all throughout the Most Magical Place on Earth just in case it helps your planning!
Two weeks after stuffing our tummies with Thanksgiving turkey, we’re getting prepped for a Christmas feast!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
While we’ve spotted some Christmas menus at restaurants like Raglan Road and Terralina Crafted Italian, it looks like there’s another holiday meal being cooked up over in Disney World!
The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays is finally HERE! We’re bringing you the first day of the Festival live, and now we’re looking at one of our new favorite annual traditions at the Festival: the Cookie Stroll!
Cookie Stroll
We were already planning on strolling around the World Showcase for the International Festival of the Holidays, so adding cookies to the mix has made it a whole lot SWEETER! 😉
Exploring the Disneyland resorts this week has us saying “So, THIS is Christmas!”
Grand Californian Holiday Decoration
Holiday decorations have decked the halls of the Disneyland resorts and we are oh, so excited! There’s nothing that makes us feel quite as jolly as all the garland, tinsel, and lights. Add a colossal gingerbread house and we don’t want to leave the lobbies. With the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays in full swing, it’s positively WONDERFUL that the resorts now match the spirit of the park!
Sleigh bells ring, are yah listenin’?
Saratoga Springs Resort — A Disney Vacation Club Resort
We’ve had so much fun spotting all of the different gingerbread displays tucked around Disney World. What’ve we found so far? A whole gingerbread lineup including supersized displays like the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House, the Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel, the Contemporary Gingerbread Castle, and the new Wilderness Lodge Gingerbread Cabin. Well today, we spotted a smaller display at Saratoga Springs that is still super impressive!
Cookies and cream and a classic holiday flavor? That sounds pepper-MINT TO BE!
Trilo Bites
There’s a lot of peppermint treats in Disney World this year! We’re still dreaming about that Peppermint Bubble Waffle in Disney Springs and the Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwich in Animal Kingdom. And y’all there’s ANOTHER peppermint treat chillin’ in Animal Kingdom. Join us at Trilo-Bites in Dinoland U. S. A. to give their new Peppermint Cookies and Cream Milkshake a try!
It’s the second star to the right and straight on until Disney’s Beach Club Resort!
Beach Club Wall Decals
Every year, an integral part of the holidays comes in the form of massive gingerbread structures around Disney World. Well, the 20th Anniversary Gingerbread Carousel is here at the Beach Club and it is absolutely wonderful! Plus, it brings some tasty specialty treats with it to the nearby snack stand.
