food IS a theme park
The holidays are in full swing in Disney World. We’re buying up all the holiday merchandise and eating all the holiday snacks.
Disney Springs
We’re also checking out all the beautiful holiday decorations — and we LOVE the Christmas trees in the parks. But you don’t need a park ticket to see some gorgeous Christmas trees in Disney World. Instead, there’s the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs — come with us to check it out!
Disney World recently closed its theme parks, Disney Springs, and some hotels due to Tropical Storm Nicole (which hit Florida as a Category 1 hurricane). Most operations at the Resort have now returned to normal, but a few lingering changes will stick around for a while.

When Disney World closes for extreme weather, they often adjust cancelation policies to allow guests to postpone or cancel bookings that would have taken place during the storms. This was true with Nicole, and now we have an update on how long those cancelation fees will be waived. [Read more…]
We have to admit, we LOVE when Disney World’s gingerbread displays go up, like the Grand Floridian gingerbread house that opened recently.

There are lots of gingerbread masterpieces around Disney World and best of all, you don’t need a ticket to check them out. You can stop by Disney’s Beach Club for a gingerbread carousel, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort displays a castle gingerbread! We recently saw the Contemporary display in progress, and now it’s officially completed — and you can also get some treats when you stop by!
We are firm believers that there are never enough holiday desserts.
The holidays are here!
With the holiday season in full swing at Disney World, there have been tons of holiday treats, snacks, and merchandise popping up around the parks! While Disney Springs might not be inside the theme parks, this spot is making sure it provides plenty of holiday treats too. Head with us to Disney Springs to check out two new Christmas treats we just found!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and you know what that means…

…it’s time for holiday decorations, treats, and more! Many of the Disney World hotels have gingerbread displays available for visitors to see and buy treats from, and we’re happy to report Disney’s Contemporary Resort’s gingerbread castle has officially returned and is open for business!
We may not be hearing sleigh bells quite yet in Disney World, but the holidays are certainly calling.

It’s beginning to look like Christmas in all four parks, holiday merchandise is on shelves, and holiday snacks are making their way to dining spots — and one of our favorite snack spots in EPCOT is getting even MORE new treats!
Things change pretty regularly in Disney World, so it’s hard to keep up with everything going on!
Tree of Life
But, that’s why we’re here — we keep up with EVERYTHING so we can tell you about it without you having to hunt down all of that specific info on your own. What’s closed, what’s open, what’s new, what’s gone forever — we’ve got you covered. If you’re going to Disney World soon, it’s important to know about some things that might be different compared to the last time you visited. So, let’s break down what you need to know!
Happy Holidays from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
It’s the holidays in Hollywood Studios
The decorations are up, the merchandise is on shelves, and new food is coming! But what else is going on in Hollywood Studios? Let’s take a look.
Tropical Storm Nicole (which hit Florida as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening into a tropical storm once again) has mostly passed through Central Florida, although wind and rain are still happening in certain areas.
Storm in Disney World
Disney World closed early on November 9th for the storm and reopened its theme parks in a late, phased reopening process the next day. The Orlando International Airport also closed, but now they’ve announced when the airport will resume commercial operations. [Read more…]
