food IS a theme park
It’s been a great week in Disney World, especially when it comes to food.
Meal at Nine Dragons
Mostly, we’re just excited that we finally got the menus for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, which starts on November 29th — and yes, we’ll be running around EPCOT all day eating EVERYTHING. We also tried some new menu items at Sci-Fi Dine In in Hollywood Studios. We also spent some time researching Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got some changes to tell you about.
We are eating our way around Disney World as usual, but now we’re trying all the holiday snacks! Next stop — a hangar bar you’ll want to park your plane in and grab a bite to eat.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is a vintage airplane hangar-themed bar in Disney Springs. It’s located at The Landing in Disney World’s shopping and dining district. You’ll find lots of signature cocktails on the menu, along with seasonal appetizers and libations. We stopped by to check out the new holiday offerings, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll is BACK!
Christmas tree in Disney Springs
This fan-favorite holiday event has returned to Disney Springs. You can stroll through the Disney-decorated trees while exploring Disney Springs, and even complete a map for a special surprise! The best part? It is FREE!
We had a BLAST at the first 2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on November 8th!
2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
There is lots to do at this annual holiday party in Magic Kingdom! You can enjoy exclusive entertainment, free cookies and hot cocoa, shorter wait times for attractions, and, of course, the famous snoap on Main Street, U.S.A. There are also fun holiday character meet and greets to enjoy, but there’s one we recommend skipping, and the reason why is a SECRET we’re going to share with you!
Happy Holidays from DFB. The holiday season is officially in FULL swing at Disney World now that the holiday decorations are up, the hotel gingerbread displays are ready, and the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom has happened.

We’ve been busy checking out all the holiday snacks around Disney World, too. BUT we’re doing our weekly thing where we take a look at Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed — and we’ve got some updates to share with you this week.
The holiday season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we’re gearing up for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

It’s all SO EXCITING! But you can’t have Christmas in Disney World without the dude in the red suit, right? Well, if you need to have a chat with that jolly old man, you can do so RIGHT NOW in Disney Springs. Yep, we just recently visited Santa Claus, and we’re taking you along to experience it with us.
It’s official! The holiday season has arrived in Disney World.

We have to admit this time of year gets us SO excited. The Christmas decorations in Magic Kingdom are up and THEY ARE MAGICAL (that tree, y’all). We’ll soon get to attend the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights events of the year. However, what we’re most excited about — OF COURSE — are the snacks. Now, one such snack has popped up in Disney Springs, and we HAD to try it.
November brings us Thanksgiving, and with it are yummy flavors of fall.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
All our favorite fall flavors continue throughout November. Pumpkin, apple, nutmeg, and so many other warm, comforting flavors are part of this season. It’s what makes all the seasonal snacks around Disney World so delicious in November and December. And luckily, one of our favorite fall snacks is BACK at Disney Springs!
Here comes Santa!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Disney World is getting prepped for the holidays! Magic Kingdom has its holiday decorations up, including the iconic tree and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort’s annual gingerbread house is built. We’re getting ready to deck the halls on November 8th at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but that’s not the only exciting thing happening on November 8th!
Disney Springs is full of some of our favorite places to eat.

Don’t get us wrong, we love dining in the theme parks, too, but some of our top recommendations can be found in the shopping and dining district. Specifically, The Polite Pig holds a special place in our hearts thanks to its incredible BBQ dining options, and we got word there was a new dessert to try. So, of course, we headed over there ASAP to tell you if this new cheesecake is worth the trip!
