food IS a theme park
We’re quickly moving through the fall and getting ready for ALL things merry and bright over at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs Holiday Window Display
We’ve seen some beautiful holiday decorations pop up here recently, and even spotted some snoap machines being installed! A few weeks ago, we got some initial details about the holiday celebrations coming to Disney Springs, but today we got more details on a holiday scavenger hunt coming soon that the whole family will enjoy!
Typically, Mickey is the most famous guy around but that all changes during the Christmas season. That’s when SANTA becomes our favorite fella in the parks!
Santa Clause
This year there are lots of changes to how Christmas is going to look at Disney World, but we do know that some holiday cheer will be coming to Disney Springs. Now, we know that the big guy will be coming too, and he’s trading in his sleigh for a BOAT!
We noticed some construction in front of Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle today. Wait…what?
Cinderella Castle Stage
Yup! You heard us! As we strolled up Main Street, U.S.A. we spotted a STAGE being put together in front of the Castle. With most live entertainment currently on hold and the temporary look, we’re wondering if this could be for the modified ABC holiday special?
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is OPEN!
Art of Animation Reopening
As you can probably imagine, this resort’s quick-service location, Landscape of Flavors, is open too. And with the reopening, this spot has gotten some menu changes! Let’s take a look!
It may only be November, but we are already stocking up on ALL the holiday merchandise and holiday snacks.
Holiday Merchandise
If you’re a big pin collector, we’ve spotted some cute holiday pins as well, but recently we spotted even more — and these are each themed to the different Disney World Resort hotels!
Although much of Disney World has reopened, some hotels and attractions will remain closed through November.
Magic Kingdom
However, please note that at least one hotel has actually REOPENED in November — Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
Would you be surprised if we told you there’s construction in EPCOT? Probably not.
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT is certainly Disney World’s work-in-progress park, but hey, the EPCOT Transformation is in full swing! We’ve seen permits for new foundations and Innoventions East construction in Future World — and now we have another peek at the work going on!
UPDATE: Dining reservations are now available again both online and in the My Disney Experience app. Disney announced that the reservations were made available in error. New reservations made during the glitch will be canceled to ensure social distancing. Learn more here.
We’ve noticed something pretty strange about the Disney World dining reservations this morning.
Goofy Meeting and Greeting
With the reopening of the Disney World resort hotels and theme parks, there were some changes to dining — particularly with limited capacities. Now, several months later, could something be changing?
Here’s a pretty big thing for us to say: Liberty Tree Tavern has historically been one of our favorite restaurants in all of Disney World.
Liberty Tree Tavern
This understated American restaurant located in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square and is teeming with well-thought-out atmosphere. Tasty table-service is hard to find in Magic Kingdom, and the food here is downright delicious. But…we hadn’t visited since before the parks reopened. So, let’s check-in on Liberty Tree Tavern to see if it’s as much of a delight as we remember.
Let’s be real, a trip to Disney World can be expensive.
Halloween Mug Sale
Between the hotel, park tickets, meals, snacks, second breakfasts, souvenirs, and more snacks, it can ALL add up. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for some great discounts and now we’ve compiled a list of 20 discounts you may not know about that you’ll definitely want to take advantage of in Disney World right now!
