food IS a theme park
Disney commercials sure know how to tug on our heartstrings, AND get us really excited about our future trips!
Walt Disney World Resort entrance
Disney recently shared its new commercial that reminds us of the fun a Disney trip can bring before we even drive through that iconic archway.
Lots of Disney resorts are decorated for the holidays with wreaths and garland galore!
Wilderness Lodge Christmas decor
Luckily when there are holiday decorations, holiday treats aren’t far behind! Today we visited Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what special snacks they were offering for the holiday season.
Disney World restaurants often tweak their menus here and there, sometimes adding items and sometimes subtracting items.
Yak and Yeti Restaurant
And we’ve seen several changes at Animal Kingdom’s Yak & Yeti Restaurant since it reopened!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Disney World Resorts!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
In the past few weeks, we’ve been checking out the hotels around Disney World to see what holiday decorations they’ve decked the halls with this year. We’ve already seen gorgeous Christmas trees pop up at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Grand Floridian Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, and more. And now, another Disney Resort has gotten a bit more festive!
There’s just something about holiday snacks and flavors that just make us feel all warm and cozy inside!
Mickey’s Holiday Cookie
And Disney World has given us a great variety of holiday flavors, too, with such wonderful concoctions like chocolate peppermint bark, frozen salted caramel hot chocolate, and eggnog fudge. YUM!!!
Construction is continuing over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Beams at Polynesian
We previously noticed that the iconic beams had been removed from the Great Ceremonial House to make way for new designs on the roof. The façade of the hotel is getting a full-scale makeover, and we’re starting to see more of the new elements getting installed!
Ever since their pop-up shop first opened in Disney Springs, Rustic Cuff has moved around A LOT!
Rustic Cuff Kiosk
After it was announced that Gideon’s Bakehouse is getting a Disney Springs location, we learned that the bakery would be taking over the Rustic Cuff storefront. And with the space being repurposed for Gideon’s, Rustic Cuff to moved back to a Disney Springs kiosk. But the kiosk was short-lived, because Rustic Cuff now has its own storefront again! Let’s take a look inside!
Christmas and holiday merch is EVERYWHERE right now in Disney World!
Coronado Springs Holiday Decorations
We’ve got cups, bags, shirts, ornaments, hats, and everything in-between! We’ve loved checking out all the fun ways that Disney incorporates the Christmas spirit into their merchandise, and today’s find is no exception! But…it will cost you A LOT of money.
Whether you’re looking for a whole collection of Star Wars holiday pins or some featuring Jack Skellington, there are a LOT of festive Disney pins out there for you to enjoy!
Holiday pins at Pin Traders
Today we found even more holiday pins, but two of them are a bit…strange.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has some truly AWESOME merchandise!
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
Jedi robes, droids, plushes of weird galactic animals, if it’s Star Wars related, they’ve probably got it! We’ve especially been loving the lightsabers and lightsaber accessories! You can build your own saber at Savi’s Workshop, or you can buy one that’s already made. And if you’ve got a lightsaber (or an interest in buying one), there’s a great sale on blades in Galaxy’s Edge TODAY!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
