food IS a theme park
We’re getting ready for the holiday season to officially arrive in Disney World on November 6th, but we’ve spotted a LOT of holiday merchandise and more in Disney already!
Holiday Bag
From the Snowflake Mickey Balloon Ears to a personal snoap machine, the holiday fun is already beginning. And now, another festive item has made its way to the Walt Disney World Resort hotels!
One of our favorite times to visit the Magic Kingdom is in November and December when the park is dressed up for the holidays. While we were there this week we found new merchandise, checked out construction progress, spotted some of Mickey’s birthday treats and merchandise still hanging around, plus found a new exit to a popular ride!
A Happy Holiday Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
Let’s start this week’s update out on Main Street U.S.A. where we found new dresses, purses, yummy treats, and a Minnie sink as well as sweet ways to continue celebrating Mickey’s 90th!
The cooler temperatures have officially arrived — at least for a few days — in Central Florida! Guests in Walt Disney World woke up to temps in the high 30s and low 40s this morning. So, as you can imagine, hot drinks are in demand to face a cold day playing in the parks!

Also in demand? The fun holiday-themed souvenir hot drink mug that’s back in Magic Kingdom this year!

The elves are already hard at work at this year! And you can see their handiwork as part of this year’s new Disney Parks Holiday for Your Home Collection at retail locations all over Disney World.

And I do mean it’s all over. Pretty much any shop you step in has a display like this, featuring this really fun retro-style line reminding you that the holiday season is inching closer by the minute. And, as always, we especially love checking out any and all kitchen goodies! Ready to get a jump on your holiday shopping? Just click any of the links you see below…
The Happy Holidays mug gives you a good idea of the design of the line, with the fun font and a general vibe that reminds me a bit of 50’s Prime Time Cafe.

Ho-ho-ho and how’s it going? By now, I’m hoping that you’re sitting by a roaring fire, listening to some Christmas standards, and chomping on some dee-licious cookies.
What? You’re dreaming of 80 degrees, a Mickey Ice Cream Bar, and a ride on Soarin’ for Christmas? Sigh. Me too. But since I’m not there, I think I’ll amuse myself with doing a little window shopping from my computer screen. (Get it? Window shopping? Ha!)
Starbucks and Spaceship Earth!
And, if you’re lucky enough to be in Walt Disney World and are looking for some super cute drinkware to enjoy your cocoa from, you’ll love what we have to show you! Here’s what we found over at the new Fountain View Starbucks in Epcot!
Let's Head In!
I know what you’re probably thinking — more mugs emblazoned with that oh-so-familiar green siren on them?!? I mean, Fountain View is a Starbucks now after all. But these aren’t the coffee giant’s handiwork! I think that’s why they captured my attention. I haven’t seen them in other spots.
The mugs are actually Dunoon Fine Bone China, and are made in England. So they’re definitely gift-worthy options, elevating your cozy drink experience to the next level.
Christmas Tree and Christmas Goodies Mugs
I really love the artwork on the cups. They definitely speak to [Read more…]
