food IS a theme park
Time is flying! We are nearing the holiday season and before we know it the end of 2023 will be here.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Fireworks
Disney has brought us all the holiday festivities such as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights. The parks and hotels are all decked out with holiday decor and we’re enjoying all the new festive entertainment. But now, Disney is starting to move on and giving us details for the next BIG event –New Year’s!
Disney World After Hours events are returning in 2024!
Cinderella Castle
These events grant you three extra hours you get in the parks — if you buy the special tickets. You’ll get lower wait times on the rides, complimentary food and beverages, and an extra fireworks show — and tickets go on sale TOMORROW!
The holiday spirit has taken over Disney World!
With love, Santa Claus
We may have been busy checking out the brand new Disney’s Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and stuffing our faces with cookies and eggnog at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but another daytime holiday experience is finally HERE! [Read more…]
You might just have seven NEW reasons to visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Tiffins, one of the BEST restaurants in Animal Kingdom, just got a menu overhaul. Wait until you see what’s available.
Tiffins
Tiffins Restaurant and Nomad Lounge are rolling out tons of new items starting November 13th! Mark your calendars; these new menu items have us SERIOUSLY tempted to visit the park.
Well, it has certainly been a week, hasn’t it?
Peppermint Snowman at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Disney just had its Q4 2023 Earnings Call and we learned a LOT about how the company is doing financially. We also attended the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World and reviewed a LOT of snacks. We’ve also visited some of the gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels! However, let’s talk about Disney World restaurants. We’ve seen some changes at some restaurants, so let’s see what’s been updated!
There is just SO much that happens during the holidays in Disney World.
The Christmas tree at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
There are all the holiday decorations to look at. There are TWO holiday after-hours parties. There are SO MANY new holiday snacks. There’s even a Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs. But we’ll admit that we get really excited when we get to meet characters in their holiday outfits, and we just go to see Mickey and Minnie in some snazzy outfits!
We attended Disney’s first-ever Jollywood Nights event in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Jollywood Nights!
We tried all the exclusive snacks and experienced all the special attractions you can only check out during these precious few hours. If you’re a huge ride fan, you’ll be thrilled to know you can ride your favorite rides as many times as you’d like during the party, but how long will you really be waiting? Let’s check it out!
Did you know that there are a TON of holiday activities you can do in Disney World without needing a theme park ticket?
Christmas tree in Disney Springs
For example, you’ll find a TON of delicious holiday treats at Disney World hotels. You’ll also find some AMAZING gingerbread displays at some hotels, too. There’s also the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs that we’re happy to report is BACK this year — so come with us to look at some very cool Disney-themed trees.
A VERY special and rare event is happening SOON in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
In fact, this event only happens once per year, and it only lasts for a few minutes each time. You’ve really got to be in just the right place at just the right time in order to experience it!
The holidays have taken OVER Disney World, especially at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Ollie the Gingerbread Man at Jollywood Nights!
The decorations are up, the holiday merchandise is out, and the first Jollywood Nights party has finally happened. This is an all-new special ticketed event in Disney World, and we were so excited to check it out. However, we were even MORE excited to check out all the FOOD at Jollywood Nights. So now we’re taking on some drinks!
