food IS a theme park
Fantasmic! is FINALLY back in Disney World!
Fantasmic!
The show is reopening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios tonight, and we’re sure there will be a lot of people trying to check it out. We’ve already gotten a preview of the show (well most of it before it was RAINED OUT), and there’s a whole new sequence to watch. So, is the park crowded on the day of the show’s return? Let’s find out!
Disney Springs is one of our favorite places for so many reasons — there are plenty of dining options that fit almost any need, and we love being able to grab the latest merchandise too.
Disney Springs
If you’re looking for a sweet treat while you’re strolling through the Springs, you could stop by Gideon’s Bakehouse, Ghirardelli, or Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, but if those classic Disney desserts are what you’re after — Sunshine Churros might be the place to be. We recently stopped by to check out a NEW churro flavor on the menu and are sharing our thoughts below!
The holiday season in Disney World means new merchandise, special events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and special ride overlays. But one of our favorite things about this season is seeing all of the beautiful decorations at the parks and hotels!
Holiday decor
The iconic Christmas tree is up over at Magic Kingdom, the giant gingerbread house is being decorated at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and we’ve even spotted snowflakes in EPCOT. A few decorations came to Disney’s Hollywood Studios earlier, but now even MORE are up in this park. Come with us to check them out! [Read more…]
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is to buy a new Disney ornament each year. BUT ornaments can be pricey!!
Disney World Ornaments
That’s why we just had to share the select Disney ornaments have been marked down to $20 on shopDisney.
Disney Munchlings are new treat-themed plushes that have been FLYING off the shelves.
Disney Munchlings!
Whether you’re into the big Munchlings or the blind boxes, we get it if you can’t get enough of the Mickey Mouse Cinnamon Roll or the Minnie Mouse Cupcake. We were invited to visit Disney Springs today to check out the newest addition to the Disney Munchlings plus a special treat — find out which character it is here!
Going to Disney World can be EXPENSIVE, and if you’ll be traveling during that period of time around Thanksgiving and Christmas, things can get even pricier!
2021 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
That period of time also happens to be exactly when the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays takes place (of course!). But you want to check out the festival-themed snacks, the cookie stroll, and the holiday storytellers! So how do you do the Festival of the Holidays on the CHEAP? We’ve got just the information for you!
National Donut Day is coming up on Nov. 5, and we took a walk over to Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew at Disney Springs to check out what was new!
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew
We have seen Everglazed make donuts based on candy bars before — like the Mounds Coconut Dream — and now, they’re taking a new candy-bar based donut over the top!
Well, it’s the beginning of the month and that means we have SO many new snacks to try in Disney World.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
First, holiday snacks are arriving in the parks, and give us ALL those great holiday flavors. But the pumpkin life is still strong because it’s STILL fall (and yes, we DID eat a lot of pumpkin snacks already through Halloween). So we’re heading over to Disney Springs to try two NEW pumpkin snacks.
The holidays are already in full swing in Disney World, with decorations, merchandise, and ride overlays in the parks. If you’re visiting for the holiday season, don’t forget to check out the Disney World HOTELS as well — some of the coolest decorations and most delicious snacks can be found there!
Christmas Tree at the Grand Floridian
We’ve been closely watching the construction of the GIANT gingerbread house that goes up every year in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and now we have an exciting update to share! (Here’s a hint: it involves FREE treats!) [Read more…]
Going to Disney World is very expensive (and not getting any cheaper), and it can be tricky to plan everything just right so that you’re able to do all you want to in the parks. So why do people keep going back?
Magic Kingdom
One of the main reasons that people return to Disney World again and again is the memories they have and continue to make when they visit. Meeting Mickey Mouse and the princesses, riding thrilling roller coasters, eating a Mickey ice cream bar while watching a parade — all of these can become core memories that inspire nostalgia later on. But, according to Disney CEO Bob Chapek, none of those things are the most important part of a Disney vacation. See what Chapek said is the “secret sauce” to making magical memories at Disney World.
