food IS a theme park
It’s time for the holidays in Disney World! Are you ready to try MORE festive treats?
It’s the Christmas season!
The 2021 Festival of the Holidays recently debuted in EPCOT, and you can also try lots of new and returning holiday treats around the World Showcase. We found two holiday treats at a favorite spot in France, and we wouldn’t blame you for getting both of them, even if you just wanted some REALLY pretty photos.
If you’re planning to visit Disney World next year, there are quite a few things you’ll want to keep in mind — like hotel reservations, Park Pass reservations, dining reservations, and more.

Another thing you’ll want to look at are those park hours. Operating hours can vary by theme park and by day. So, if you’ll only be visiting 1 park per day (a.k.a. you don’t have park hopper tickets) you’ll want to make sure you’re not visiting a park on a day when it might be closing extra early. We already saw one day in early 2022 on which guests might want to skip going to Magic Kingdom, and now we’ve got another important update!
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is in full swing and we’ve been bringing you along as we explore all the new (and returning) eats and drinks, entertainment, and more!
Festival of the Holidays
So, whether you want to taste your way around the entirety of World Showcase, or you want to save room for only the best, we’ve got you covered. But, it’s not just the holiday kitchen booths that are home to some sweet treats and drinks, there are also a few select EXTRA locations that are serving up a specialty dish. And, today we’re headed into the France Pavilion to check out what they’re baking up in Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie!
50’s Prime Time Cafe is a table-service restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that’ll make you feel like you’re in a quintessential 1950’s home, complete with strict rules about manners at the dinner table and black-and-white televisions playing classic shows!

The restaurant is home to several iconic items including the signature peanut butter and jelly milkshake! But, one of our favorite dishes has been missing in action for a while. We’re happy to announce that recently a longtime fan-favorite dish (seriously, this one is LEGENDARY) returned to this whimsical restaurant!
We’ve noticed crowds picking up in Disney World lately as people head to the parks for the holiday season.
Magic Kingdom Crowds
Among the hundreds of guests inside the parks, you might even spot some familiar faces! We’ve seen celebrities in Disney World, whether they’re just visiting with friends and family or there to film a commercial or special. Recently, we saw a few celebs over in EPCOT for some filming. And today there are more big names in the parks! If you’re in the Magic Kingdom today, keep an eye out for a couple of celebrities nearby. [Read more…]
There is a variety of nighttime entertainment you can enjoy throughout Disney World.
Fireworks in Magic Kingdom
You can see Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom, Harmonious in EPCOT, the Tree of Life Awakenings in Animal Kingdom, the Beacons of Magic in all 4 parks, and more. And today, we noticed something odd about the nighttime shows in Hollywood Studios next month.
It’s time for yet another EPCOT festival!
EPCOT
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays kicked off on November 26th and we’ve got all the info, all the tips, and the ultimate list of our “Best of the Fest” food picks for the 2021 festival. If you’re wondering what items you shouldn’t miss at this year’s festival, you’ve come to the right place.
The holidays are a busy time in Disney World, and for a good reason — there are just so many things to do!
Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations
Festival of the Holidays is going on in EPCOT, decorations are up around the parks and hotels, Very Merriest After Hours takes place in Magic Kingdom on certain nights, and you can even see Santa around the resort. So, naturally, a lot of people want to enjoy the festivities, which means park pass reservations can be limited. But, a bunch of park passes for December part of January were just replenished!
Some people (like our DFB reporters) are lucky enough to visit Disney World all the time. But, some of us aren’t that lucky. Maybe it’s been a few weeks, months, or even years since your last Disney trip.

We get it. Going to Disney World can be really expensive and sometimes things happen that keep us away from this “home away from home” for a long time. Well, if you’re missing Disney and wishing you could be right there in the magic, this post could be great and/or terrible for you. It’s great because we’re about to share a whole BUNCH of videos that’ll remind you of all of the amazing things Disney has to offer. It’s also terrible because you might just find yourself booking a Disney trip A.S.A.P. after watching these (but hey, that’s not such a bad thing!).
You may be in the most magical place on earth, but even in the place where your dreams can come true, there are rules and policies that you need to follow.

Over the years, Disney’s list of banned items and activities has grown and, while some of them you can probably guess (like weapons and illegal substances) others are a bit more surprising. And, that’s what we’re covering today!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
