food IS a theme park
We’ve been celebrating the holiday season for a WHILE now at Disney World with festive character cavalcades, delicious treats, and more!
Santa
And while we’ve seen Santa in the parks in special ways this year, it seems jolly old Saint Nicholas has to spend a bit more time back in the North Pole preparing for Christmas 2021 and needs someone to take over some of his cavalcade duties. So, his more goofy counterpart has been popping up in Disney World!
Even though we don’t have traditional character meet-and-greets and meals right now, Disney has been very creative when implementing ways for us to interact with our Disney friends!
Pluto!!
Just this morning, characters returned to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary (in socially-distanced fashion), and we’ve seen several fun cavalcades and distanced meet-and-greets in the parks. We speculated a few weeks ago whether or not characters might come around to visit the Disney World Resorts again, and then we spotted some friends over at Disney’s Grand Floridian last week! Today, we saw a few characters again, this time at Disney’s Riviera Resort! And they showed up in a cool ride!
We’ve seen Mickey and his friends in the holiday cavalcades and some character dining experiences, and we’ve waved at him as he stood on the Main Street, U.S.A. train station, but now there’s one more spot to find the mouse!
Chef Mickey’s
A few months ago, Disney shared that some of our favorite characters would soon be making their way back to Chef Mickey’s in Disney’s Contemporary Resort and the day has finally arrived!
Although you can’t hug your favorite Disney characters at the moment, we’ve really enjoyed seeing some of our best pals in character cavalcades, at modified character dining experiences, and in modified meet-and-greets.
Goofy!
We’ve even been able to see the ever so special Santa Goofy over at Minnie’s Holiday Dine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But today we spotted Santa Goofy in Magic Kingdom in a totally different form!
One of the most fun things about Disney World is that there are surprises around every corner!
Grand Floridian Resort
From the random character cavalcades to the most unique holiday decorations to cool new merchandise, Disney World is ALWAYS full of such surprises, too! Recently, we shared that more characters should start showing up in the resorts soon.
We’re making our way around Disney’s BoardWalk and surrounding EPCOT Resorts this week!
Holiday Oreo Bon Bons
We stopped into the BoardWalk Bakery, Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort, and the surrounding areas to see what’s new! We got a taste of some fantastic holiday treats and have a few more updates for you!
We’re totally #adults here at Disney Food Blog, but that doesn’t mean we’ll say no to a Happy Meal!
Goofy Toy
We especially can’t resist a good Happy Meal when it’s loaded with Disney toys! In honor of Mickey and Minnie’s 92nd birthday, McDonald’s teamed up with Disney to release some super sweet toys. We got our hands on the cutie pie Happy Meals last week. We’re back to tell you all about the awesome sweepstakes you can enter when you buy one for yourself!
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!
I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a challenging year, but now that we’re at the end of it, we can start looking forward to 2021!
2021 Merchandise
So while we’re still busy enjoying the holidays by eating festive snacks, drinking joyful drinks, and watching fun entertainment, we’re looking ahead to the new year with some brand new 2021 merchandise we just found at Disney World!
We’re just ONE day away from stepping onto Buena Vista Street at Disneyland Resort, but recently we made our way around the rest of Downtown Disney to see what’s new!
Christmas Trees
From adorable holiday decorations to a CRAZY Mickey Mouse Milkshake, come along with us on a virtual trip to Anaheim to see what’s going on at the happiest place on earth.
