food IS a theme park
It’s officially the holiday season in Disney World, and that means it’s already December.

December can sometimes be a more quiet time in Disney Parks, but this December will see the return of two restaurants, live entertainment, and more! Check it out here.
Another month has come and gone in Disney World, which means it’s time for another roundup of the best and worst things we tried in the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs! With the kickoff of EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays and the arrival of seasonal holiday treats in Disney World, there was no shortage of new menu items to try!
Festival of the Holidays
Let’s dive right in to find out what our top and bottom picks were for this month!
We’ve got the most heated competition of the holiday season going on right now — and, no, it’s not The Great British Baking Show. We think our Best Eats at the 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Bracket is even more exciting!
2021 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays brought us a TON of tasty eats this year so it’s REALLY hard for us to pick a favorite (although we did pick out some Bests of the Fest!). Well, that’s where you come in! We asked our readers on Instagram to weigh in!
If you’re heading into Disney World this December, you can take in all the festive cheer with holiday decorations, new souvenirs, and special events.

Although there are a lot of new additions to see, there are also a few attractions and hotels that will NOT be open for at least part of December. You’ll want to be aware of these closures before your trip so that they don’t catch you off guard! In this post, we’re going to take a look at what’s going to be closed in December in Disney World.

Though Disney World can be a magical place, sometimes things don’t quite go to plan.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen rides shut down for technical issues, evacuated, or even closed due to smoke! Today, as we were walking through Magic Kingdom, we noticed that a popular ride was closed and being evacuated.
Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars hotel) is set to open in March of 2022 and we can’t wait!

We’ve heard so many exciting things about this experience, including details about the food, a look at the merchandise, a peek inside the starcruiser, information about the lightsaber training experience, and MORE. A stay at the Star Wars Hotel isn’t cheap though. What if you could manage to stay there for FREE? Well, you might be able to if you enter in a very special sweepstakes!
We’re at Disney World almost every day, and so we’ve learned a few things about how to get the best views on rides, what the best seats are, and how to get on popular rides without waiting in lines that are impossibly long!
Don’t let them know you’re with the Resistance!
So what other ride hacks at Disney World do YOU need to know?
You might not know that there is some amazing food in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Animal Kingdom
It’s true! Most people think of EPCOT when they think of great Disney food (and we don’t necessarily disagree), but Animal Kingdom definitely has some can’t-miss dishes and snacks. Some of these tasty snacks aren’t available year-round, though. Yesterday, we got a snack that’s actually really tricky to catch in this park!
There’s a new restaurant in town located not too far from Disney World property! While there have been several new restaurants opening up at Disney World like Space 220, Steakhouse 71, and La Crêperie de Paris, we’re also curious to hear about the neighboring resort areas offering new dining options for visitors.

If your next trip to Disney World includes a stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, you’ll want to check out this new dining spot.
We just LOVE the holiday season at Disney World, don’t you?
Happy Holidays!
One of the great things about the holiday season is seeing all of the different traditions that people have. Some people do secret Santa, some people run holiday 5k’s, but over here, we try every single holiday treat, snack, and drink you can find at the Disney Parks and rate them! Fun, right? Today we tried a new festively boozy drink at Disney Springs, and we’re gonna give you our rundown on it!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
