Happy Holidays from Disney World!
Holiday display at Animal Kingdom Lodge
We’ve been enjoying the holiday decorations at the hotels, as well as the gingerbread displays, and holiday snacks! While we’ve been visiting the hotels, though, we’ve also checked to see what else is new. So on with the updates!
It’s the holiday season, and there are a ton of ways to add a little bit of Disney to your celebrations!

Okay, you know us, when Gideon’s Bakehouse releases new cookies, we’re going to make a beeline to Disney Springs to try them out.
Holiday cookies are here!
Although this year’s holiday selection isn’t EXACTLY new, we can’t say no when it’s time to check out Gideon’s monthly offerings. This year brought back some favorites, along with some things we hadn’t tried yet, so join us as we try the holiday cookies, cake slices, and cold brew!
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and along with most holidays in Disney World, one thing remains true — it gets CROWDED.
Thanksgiving Day Crowds
Although Thanksgiving Day crowds were a bit surprising, the rest of the week was packed and wait times were HIGH, with one ride toppling over THREE hours one day. If you’re curious to know what Disney World is like during a holiday week, we’ve compiled all the average wait times from this past week!
The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is here, and we are celebrating the holidays IN STYLE, by eating all the things.
Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room
But we’re also spending time enjoying some fun activities and entertainment, including the Candlelight Processional. But here’s the thing — is it worth the extra cost to get the Candlelight Processional dining package, which includes guaranteed seating for the show? Let’s find out!
Disney World was BUSY this past week as crowds flocked to the parks for Thanksgiving break. We saw big crowds and long wait times, but the rush may slow down this coming week as folks return to school and work.

Ho, Ho, Ho, and Merry (almost!) Christmas from Walt Disney World!
Christmas time in Disney Springs
The holidays are in full swing in Walt Disney World and that means tons of new snacks and treats, merchandise, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Thankfully, we are huge holiday fans here and there’s nothing we love more than a good holiday treat or two! We think Disney Springs knows this about us because they have a new snack for us.

If you’re like us, you probably have a lot of Minnie ears. It’s okay — we totally get it. There are so many fun designs and colors to choose from and to go with all our outfits.

However, the price of ears went up a bit earlier this year, although we’ve discovered that in some instances, you can still get them cheaper online. That’s the case with a pair of ears that turned up in Disney World today.
