food IS a theme park
It’s not too early to start getting ready for the holidays, is it?
We are READY for the holidays!
Halloween will be over before we know it, and it won’t be much longer until Magic Kingdom hosts its first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We’re already daydreaming about all the cookies and hot cocoa at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, so we’ll admit that seeing Disney’s new holiday ears gave us visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads.Â
Half of the fun of being in Disney World is taking home some souvenirs to remember your trip by.
Welcome to Disney World! We hope you left some room in your suitcase!
Whether you meticulously save room in your suitcase for all of the merchandise you plan on buying or you scramble to get all of your impulse purchases in at the last second — there are some fun items in stores around the parks. But did you know you might be walking by one of the best souvenirs in Disney World? One super unique item is hiding in an iconic store in Magic Kingdom.
There’s nothing like ending your perfect Magic Kingdom day with fireworks.
Happily Ever After
But, chances are we’ve all struggled to find the absolute best spot to watch them. The hub right in front of the castle fills up quickly, Main Street, U.S.A. is packed, and it might feel like you don’t really have any good options. If you’re looking for a somewhat secluded spot to watch Magic Kingdom fireworks, we think we might know just the place!
If you’re looking for souvenirs, Magic Kingdom has tons of great gift shops to find what you’re looking for.
Emporium
Whether you start your day sifting through all the goods at the massive Emporium or prefer to get a look at the impressive Minnie ear wall at Fantasy Faire, there are lots of options to choose from. There’s even a store where you can find Christmas ornaments all year long (!) … but unfortunately, if you’re looking for Christmas items, your search will look a little different at the moment.
Disney has released SO many Minnie ears already, but if you want to score some that no one else will have, we have a secret!
EARS for Days!
Did you know that you can get CUSTOM ear designs at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom?! It’s true! The fantastic Cast Members at this spot can add custom doodles to ears to really make them special to you. Celebrate a special accomplishment, holiday, etc. with a design no one else will have. But getting the best version of these custom ears might be a little tougher.
Have you been good this year?
Hey Santa!
We hope so, because Santa Claus is watching! He’s making his list, checking it twice, and preparing for the big event — Christmas. But he’s not the only one getting ready for Christmas…Disney World is too! Of course, they’re gearing up for the upcoming Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays. But that’s not all — they also have a year-round offering that prepares guests for Christmas!
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique updates, Halloween decorations, and Disney dogs in the firehouse — Magic Kingdom has been busy over the last few days! If you haven’t visited this park since our last update, you’ve already missed some big changes. Never fear — we’re here to help fix that.
