Okay yes, it started to feel like the holiday season when we saw all the decorations in Magic Kingdom. And it felt even MORE like Christmas when we tried some of the festive snacks.

We recently saw a curious-looking big blue wall go up in the middle of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. (Spoiler: it was installed to isolate the visiting NBA players from Disney guests.)
