food IS a theme park
The day after Halloween means one thing! It’s the holiday season (especially in Disney World!).

So it’s time to start thinking about that holiday shopping, but it’s also time to start looking for some great deals on gifts (and yes, that includes gifts for yourself). Well, if you’re a member of Sam’s Club, you need to check out some gift card deals that are happening RIGHT NOW.
Happy holidays, DFB friends! Yep, it’s officially the holiday season in Disney World and we’re ready to eat all the holiday snacks and go to the first Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Eats in Animal Kingdom
It’s been quite a week in Disney World. We just got word that NEW gingerbread displays are coming to Disney World this holiday season (we can’t wait!). We got details on a fun Diwali fest that’s coming to Disney Springs. Holiday decorations have officially appeared in Magic Kingdom (cue Mariah Carey). However, we’ve also seen some Disney World restaurant menus change, and that’s what we want to tell you about.
Do you visit Disney theme parks often? Are you a huge Disney fan who enjoys browsing the Disney Store website?
Magic Kingdom
If you are like us and find yourself at Disney World or Disneyland all the time, or you just gotta have the latest cute item on the Disney Store website, you might be interested in the Disney Visa credit card! The Disney Visa has lots of perks, including reward dollars and discounts at varying Disney locations. For the big-time Disney fans, it might be a great idea. And if you don’t currently have a Disney Visa card, now might be the time to sign up!
It’s almost that time of year at the most magical place on earth!
The holidays at Disney World are extra magical!
I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about walking down Main Street, U.S.A., and looking at all of the holiday decorations at Magic Kingdom. Whether you are like Disney World and like to decorate your home early or you like to wait until after Thanksgiving, we found some Disney items to add some magic to your home this holiday season. And get this, these items are all under $20!!
Disney is setting records…though not in the way you might like.
Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane
Ever since Disney changed its skip-the-line system over to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, we’ve seen fluctuating prices for the passes at Disney World’s theme parks. Now, the first weekend of November is smashing through the previous highs.
The Magic Kingdom Christmas tree is here! Santa Claus is coming to town, the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming soon, and even the skippers at the Jungle Cruise are ready to celebrate the holiday season.
The tree has arrived in Magic Kingdom!
That’s right! One of our favorite holiday overlays is officially BACK for the season — the Jungle Cruise transformed into the Jingle Cruise, and we went bright and early to check it out.
Hold up. Can you believe it? It’s almost 2025 and that means your Disney World trip is just about here!!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
You’ll definitely want to keep an eye on the 2025 calendar so that you know what’s happening at the parks and if you need to catch any events. Also, there’s nothing like planning ahead and missing out on the crowds! To those points, we’re here with a helping hand because we want you to know about all the best times to come to Disney World in 2025!
Heads up, the clock is ticking on these chances to save on your next Disney World vacation!
Magic Kingdom
We know a Disney World vacation can be expensive. That’s why we keep a close eye out for any discounts and deals that can help you maximize your budget! Speaking of those special offers, we’ve got an important reminder about several hotel discounts ending soon that you’ll need to act FAST if you want to take advantage of!
Disney World’s new Lightning Lane option has officially debuted!
Lightning Lane
In case you missed it, over the summer, Genie+ transformed into Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane switched over to Lighting Lane Single Pass. This change helped clear up some naming confusion and the new system mimics its predecessor FastPass+. Now, there is a third Lightning Lane option available, and some people have very strong feelings about it.
Disney World will be undergoing a bunch of changes over the next several years.
Sunset Showcase
Some attractions will be closing to make way for new ones coming. Recently, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed its doors for the last time as a brand-new Villains show will be coming to Sunset Showcase. The new show is set to premiere next summer, and we have a new update!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
