food IS a theme park
We visit Disney World every day, and it feels like we’ve experienced nearly every possible theme park problem known to man!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been stuck on rides, lost possessions, seen fireworks shows rained out, been injured, gotten sick, and so much more. But through it all, we’ve endured! And sometimes, those unexpected issues in the park are a little bit out of our control. We had one of those problems when heading to Magic Kingdom today!
The holiday season has officially landed in EPCOT!
2023 Festival of the Holidays
The Festival of the Holidays has kicked off with several food booths, multiple holiday storytellers, and a Candlelight Processional that’s star-studded. But sadly, one of last year’s big holiday offerings may not be returning to the park in 2023!
Heading to Disney World this holiday season? You may want to prepare your stomach!
Disney Springs
If you’re a foodie, there are plenty of new eats to try during the holidays! From Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights to the offerings at the various gingerbread displays, there are more new snacks and menu items than we can count. And now, we’ve got details about a special dining offering this December!
The Festival of Holidays is in full swing at Disneyland Resort!
Viva Navidad!
The festival has returned to Disney California Adventure with lots of holiday excitement, including a wide variety of food booths to visit. We stopped by to try out a LOT of eats, including some offerings that you won’t find at a food booth. Let’s head to Smokejumpers Grill to find one of our snacks!
I sure hope you’re not sick of holiday snack reviews yet, because here comes another one!
Hollywood Studios
Between Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the gingerbread displays opening, we’ve already had a LOT of holiday treats and we’re not even halfway through November yet! But we’ve still got more snacks to share, so come along with us to Hollywood Studios for the next one on our list.
We’ve eaten countless snacks, we’ve stayed up way too late, and we probably have permanent dots behind our eyelids from staring at Christmas lights in the dark…but we’re finally ready to declare a winner in the holiday battle royale at Disney World!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2023
The holiday season kicked off just a few days ago with the start of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. Then, just two days later, Hollywood Studios hosted the first-ever Disney Jollywood Nights event. Our team attended BOTH parties this week and experienced nearly everything they have to offer, and after plenty of reflection, we’ve got a hot take to share.
Park Pass rules are CHANGING for Disney World in 2024, but until then, you’ll need to reserve your days to visit the parks!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
But as we head into the holiday season, planning in advance is about to become much more important! Disney World typically gets rather busy during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, and we’re already starting to see Park Passes sell out for key dates. Let’s check the availability!
We were at the FIRST night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for 2023, and we learned and experienced a LOT!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
We met characters, watched fireworks and parades, visited dance parties, shopped merchandise, and scoured the park for all the free cookies and cocoa we could find. So what do you need to know if you’re going to the party this year? We’re sharing some warnings after we attended the first night!
Want to ramp up the cost of your Disney World vacation? There are plenty of pricey experiences you can add to your trip!
Cinderella Castle
From stays at Deluxe Resorts to meals at signature restaurants, Disney offers quite a few luxury experiences. But if you’re heading to Disney World for the new year, then there’s one incredibly expensive addition you might want to know about!
There are few things in this world that we love more than cheese.
Plastic Cheese
Since we spend a lot of time in Disney World dining at various restaurants, we’ve tried a variety of cheese-inspired dishes, from charcuterie boards to pasta to cheese soup. But if you know about our obsession with plastic cheese, then you know that we’re big fans of cheese made for dipping. And the king of all dipping cheeses? That’s easy — queso!
