food IS a theme park
Halloween snacks have TAKEN OVER Disney World!

We’ve tried everything from a Mike Wazowski Cake to a Tiramisu that is basically a pumpkin spice latte in food form! But, the Halloween fun is just getting started!
When you’re planning your next Disney vacation, choosing which park you’re going to visit is an entirely different ball game than it was previously.

Since guests are required to make Disney Park Pass reservations ahead of their visit to Disney World, it’s important to check which days the parks you want to visit are available. Plus, guests who have theme park tickets, Disney Resort reservations, or Annual Passes may all have varying availability, depending on the week!
It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve listened to both Frozen soundtracks, we can’t help but get emotional every time. And, even though Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been bringing back other entertainment, we’ve REALLY been missing the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in the park!

La Cava del Tequila
The parks have been a HIT this Halloween when it comes to Fall snacks like the Pumpkin Spice Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich, Minnie Mouse Halloween Mousse, and Oktoberfest Poutine (just to name a few).

Things may come and go in Disney World as the re-opening of the parks is an evolving situation. While some attractions that we may love have returned, others are taking a hiatus or closing altogether.
