food IS a theme park
PHEW! It’s been a full day in the parks as the holiday season kicks off all around Disney World’s property!
Santa!
Even though the parks have transformed into a Winter Wonderland for Christmas, the parks are still looking ahead to next year as guests plan to visit for Disney World’s 50th anniversary.
It’s finally here! CHRISTMAS is in full swing in Disney World (and we’ve got our Santa hats ready to go)!
Santa!
Since the parks have officially kicked off the season today, we’ve seen treats and decorations take over each of the parks. While we’ve been in the Magic Kingdom so far today, we’ve had Sugar and Spice Churros as well as the Twice Upon a Cupcake.
We’re getting ready to celebrate the holidays early, folks!! We might still be a few weeks away from the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays which will take place from November 27th through December 30th, but we’ve got all the snack news you NEED to know!
Festival of the Holidays
You might know that the Festival of the Holidays brings together different holiday cuisines from cultures around the world. You can try things that are new and exciting at the Holiday Kitchens (AKA Food Booths) while you stroll around the park.
Annual Passholder Magnets
And, since the Festival of the Holidays is back again in EPCOT, we’re happy to announce the MENUS for the 16 Holiday Kitchens and a few other places to get your sip and snack on!
We know that Christmas merchandise has taken over Disney World, but some people would love to find Star Wars items under their trees this year (AKA us).
Color-Changing Ahsoka Tano Lightsaber
And, there’s nothing less than parks-full of Star Wars merchandise right now with Endor and The Mandalorian Spirit Jerseys, new “scrap metal” for customizable lightsaber parts, and apparel and accessories galore from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
The moment you get your first lightsaber in Disney World is a pretty important occasion. It’s the time you get to choose whether you’re going to fight for the Resistance or support the First Order with Jedi or Sith colored Kyber Crystals.
Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post
We’ve recently seen Force Guided Kyber Crystals that allow guests to interact with Yoda and Darth Vader directly. Plus there’s been the announcement of brand NEW lightsaber hilts from the Jedi Fallen Order video game!
It’s officially CHRISTMASTIME in the Magic Kingdom!! And, we’re already craving a big cup of hot chocolate and a stroll through some snoap soon.
Magic Kingdom Holidays 2020!
Recently, Disney released a TON of holiday merchandise and we started to see STARS in Hollywood Studios, which hinted at the start of the holiday season in the parks (even though it wasn’t even Halloween yet). But today Halloween is officially OVA, and holiday decor is arriving in Magic Kingdom!
We’ve had a FULL day in the parks for Halloween! We’ve snacked on some festive treats, seen some pretty big crowds, and even witnessed a small fire in the Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
But, we had to leave time to pop into the stores during our visit to Disney World to snatch up any remaining Halloween goodies and start our Christmas shopping!
As the Halloween season comes to a close in the parks, we’re happy to enjoy a few extra treats along the way!
Halloween Liquid Nitro Cake Pop
Even though we had spooky themed cupcakes, cookies, and cake pops in Disney World today, we’ve always got room for some candy! And, October 31st seems like quite the perfect day for extra goodies as you watch your favorite Halloween movies at home.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
Tren-D Holiday Display
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and entertainment to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
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 handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
