food IS a theme park
There has been a LOT going on around Disney World lately!
Christmas tree in Disney Springs
It’s the holiday season, so we’ve seen decorations go up everywhere, new snacks come out, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is even back. While it might seem like all of the holiday fun is in the parks, there is actually a spot where you can enjoy the festivities that you don’t even need a park ticket for — Disney Springs! So, come along with us to check out what’s new over in Disney Springs.
This is our BIGGEST DFB challenge YET.
Casey’s Corner
Can we eat for $20 (or under) a day in Disney World— and help YOU do the same? Let’s find out.
Come on. You know you have a question (or two) about Disney World!
A busy day in Magic Kingdom
Whether you’re curious about certain things in the parks or wondering why things are the way they are, we get it! We asked DFB readers, “What’s the ONE Disney World question you’ve always been afraid to ask?” We got a lot of questions and guess what — we have some answers!
We visited Blizzard Beach for its reopening day, where we checked out the new Frozen-themed decorations at the Tike’s Peak area, tried out some new drinks, and said hello to Santa!
LottaWatta Lodge
Now we headed over to LottaWatta Lodge for some food and found there are some new items on the menu. And since we’re Disney Food Blog, we had to try them out!
Have you ever visited Disney World’s water parks?
Olaf at Blizzard Beach
There are two, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Typhoon Lagoon, though, is currently closed for a refurbishment, but Blizzard Beach just reopened with a new Frozen-themed area. While we were checking it all out, though, we also found THREE new drinks!
Many of us have been there before — you’ve been in a Disney World parks all day, snacking on popcorn and pretzels instead of sitting down for a real meal, and now the park is closing and you’re HUNGRY.
Disney World’s McDonald’s
Maybe you plan better than this in terms of food, but this definitely happens! Sometimes you don’t have dining reservations and you just want to go on rides while being fueled by popcorn. You might not even realize you can’t get a real meal anywhere until it’s too late, and all of the restaurants are closing in the parks, hotels, AND Disney Springs. So, what do you do? You get some non-Disney food! We asked our team, and here is what we think are the best late night food options near Disney World.
The holiday spirit is STRONG in Disney World. Holiday decorations are in the parks, Christmas trees are up, and holiday snacks have arrived.
Holidays at Hollywood Studios
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! We’ve also seen a ton of holiday merchandise, but today, two NEW pairs of holiday EARS have turned up at the resort.
The holiday spirit has found its way to Disney World.
ALL the holiday snacks
The decorations are all up, we’ve been to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, we’ve bought holiday merchandise, and we’ve started eating a TON of new holiday treats (with more on the way)! Disney World restaurant menus had some regular changes this week, too, though, so let’s take a look at the updates!
Disney World is constantly under construction. Whether it’s new attractions being created, things being refurbished, or entire parks being transformed, something is always underway.
Port Orleans Resorts
Hotel pools also undergo regular refurbishments and maintenance. With that being said, Disney just announced that a pool at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside will close very soon.
Disney World recently closed down its parks and some hotels due to the threat of Tropical Storm Nicole. Since the storm has passed, the parks and all hotels have reopened — so what’s still CLOSED?
Disney World in the rain
Rides, attractions, and restaurants sometimes close temporarily in Disney World so that they can undergo refurbishments and updates. We’ve got a full list of what’s temporarily closed at the parks and hotels so that you’re aware of the changes before your upcoming vacation. [Read more…]
