food IS a theme park
We’ve spent the last few days traveling all around Disney World trying the latest and greatest holiday snacks for 2020!
Twice Upon a Cupcake
While the parks and resorts are chock-full of cupcakes, churros, and cookies, we discovered ANOTHER way to get your fill of festive goodies and perhaps finish some holiday shopping at the same time!
We’ve seen spirit jerseys popping up left and right in Walt Disney World and on shopDisney recently!
Walt Disney World Fluffy Spirit Jersey
In fact, eight spirit jersey designs made their way onto shopDisney just yesterday! We’ve loved seeing how creative they get with the designs — patterns, colors, characters, and more. And today, we spotted a NEW design in Disney World, and it’s FLUFFY!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has had all kinds of fun and unique merchandise available lately, like those delicious shortbread cookies and some adorable Duffy and Olu Mel items!

Today we spotted even more cool, NEW merchandise themed to Trader Sam’s, but it’s selling out quick so you’ll definitely want to head there quickly if you want to check it out!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the news for you this week. Today we have the details on the latest in the Disney theme parks and MORE!

See all of our coverage on Disney park reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Disney loves to give us difficult decisions to make.
Magic Kingdom
From which UNIQUE piece of merchandise to spend our money on, to how best to get ourselves on Rise of the Resistance; we’re taking a look at the 30 hardest Disney choices we’ve had to make in the last 30 days!
While there’s some merchandise that you can find all through Disney World no matter where you go, there are some spots with really unique (and sometimes incredibly delicious) items you can only get there, and sometimes they develop a bit of a following.
Honolulu Cookie Company Shortbread Cookies
That seems to be the case with the Honolulu Cookie Company cookies that used to be available at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We hadn’t spotted these cookies at this hotel for a WHILE, but recently we noticed…they are back!
It may only be November, but we are already stocking up on ALL the holiday merchandise and holiday snacks.
Holiday Merchandise
If you’re a big pin collector, we’ve spotted some cute holiday pins as well, but recently we spotted even more — and these are each themed to the different Disney World Resort hotels!
Slowly but surely, fan-favorite offerings are returning to Disney World — even when it comes to transportation!
Friendship Boats
Boat transportation has been suspended in many locations throughout Disney World. Now, they’re BACK in running again from Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian and the Poly.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has served up some iconic drinks over the years, including the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge, and of course the wide array of legendary libations at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.
Lapu Lapu at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Over at Barefoot Pool Bar, however, we think we just discovered another drink to enter the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and it even came with a fun holiday twist!
The sparkliest cupcake this side of the Seven Seas Lagoon just got a late autumn makeover!
Halloween Cupcake With Rocky Road
You may recall the Rocky Road Cupcake, which glittered and glistened its way back into Captain Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort this year as one of the many Halloween treats that hit the scene. Though Spooky Season has ended (and, ICYMI, the holidays are pretty much HERE!), you can still enjoy it… but in a new way! [Read more…]
