food IS a theme park
We’ve got a very important matter to discuss with you today!
Cinderella Castle and Main Street USA in Disney World
We know we’re always talking about our favorite foods at the Disney theme parks, BUT did you know many of our favorite snacks don’t even require a park ticket?!
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!
Who out there among us isn’t feeling a little EXTRA-indulgent these days!

In fact, not sure about you guys, be we’ve taken to storing some snacks between our couch cushions so that we don’t have to get up as much (and the kids and pets haven’t caught on to us yet!). WE KID, WE KID!
We’ve enjoyed sipping on the new Beauty and the Beast-inspired cocktails at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort’s Enchanted Rose Bar and Lounge since it opened a few months back (formerly known as Mizner’s Lounge)!

Cheerio! And warm tidings from Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. We’ve had SO many reader requests for a re-review of this fun offering! Far be it from us to deny that desire!
Welcome to the Grand Floridian!
There are so many foodie things we love about this resort, like the Chicken and Waffles at the Grand Floridian Cafe or the all-new Beauty and the Beast themed lounge, Enchanted Rose (check out our full review HERE!).
Enchanted Rose Lounge
But recently we decided it was time for a spot of tea, so we stopped in to the Garden View Tea Room!
at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa has become one of our favorite spots to dine for breakfast and brunch (click here to see why!). And one of our favorite entrees is a hack that marries two classic dishes: fried chicken and waffles (Mickey-style, if you so desire).
Grand Floridian Cafe Chicken and Waffles Hack
We’ve been hacking this dish for a while now (with thanks to Michael over at @DisneyNumNums for the idea), and the combination of buttermilk fried chicken (made with Corn Flake crumbs!) and a toasty Belgian or Mickey waffle is awesome. [Read more…]
