food IS a theme park
Well, Halloween is officially over and we’re gearing up for the rest of the fall season in Disney World.
Holiday Feast Time!
Who are we kidding? It’s Christmas in Magic Kingdom already! But that doesn’t mean we’ll be overlooking other holidays because yes, Thanksgiving is still a very popular time to visit Disney World. If you’ve got plans to visit Disney World on Thanksgiving, though, we’ve got some great news: you have lots of dining spots where you can grab Thanksgiving dinner.
Disney World has started decorating for the holidays, but many of the yummy fall treats are still available!
Animal Kingdom winter decorations
Soon, we’ll be eating peppermint and all things red and green, but we’re still enjoying the flavors of fall. Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a cupcake appeared on October 16th, which is the perfect fall treat! Somehow, Disney managed to put every comforting fall flavor into one yummy snack.
Deck the halls! Trim the tree! Let it snow! Can you tell we’re in the holiday spirit? What better way to celebrate the season than with a little holiday shopping?
Disney World Holiday Decorations
For a limited time, the Disney Store website is hosting a special sale. You can score a NEW Disney tote bag on SALE thanks to this exclusive offer. Here’s what you have to do to get yourself a new (discounted) Disney bag.
Disney Springs is full of some of our favorite places to eat.
Disney Springs
Don’t get us wrong, we love dining in the theme parks, too, but some of our top recommendations can be found in the shopping and dining district. Specifically, The Polite Pig holds a special place in our hearts thanks to its incredible BBQ dining options, and we got word there was a new dessert to try. So, of course, we headed over there ASAP to tell you if this new cheesecake is worth the trip!
You’ve no go time to waste! Your Disney World trip is coming up and you need to save some money!
Target
We’re always so excited to share savings on all our favorite Disney World essentials and other items. And this time, we’re making sure you don’t miss out on any ways to save you some cash on the gift cards you might want to grab from Target before your trip!
When it comes to merchandise for Disney fans, we’re the experts!
Loungefly Wall at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom
We’ve done quite a bit of online shopping for Disney toys, collectibles, accessories, and apparel over the years. On top of that, we visit the theme parks every day, so we know exactly what essentials you’ll need in your park bag for a Disney World vacation. That’s why today, we’ve rounded up some awesome Amazon deals for Disney fans!
We do love some Disney World snacks, and that includes Disney World drinks.
Glacier Kitchen at Main Street Confectionery
Some drinks, though, are 100% designed with kids in mind, and that usually includes all the frozen drinks and slushies you can get in the parks. Now, don’t get us wrong, some of those frozen non-boozy drinks are our favorites (the Frozen Mint Tea in EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion comes to mind), but a lot of the drinks are going to appeal to kids. Well, let’s just say we tried one slushy that your kid will probably beg you for — and we have thoughts.
Are you making the most of Disney World’s hotels?
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Ever since the Polynesian Village and Contemporary resorts opened along with Disney World in October of 1971, hotels have been an integral part of the resort experience. Over the last 50+ years, nearly 30 resorts have opened across the property, while several more have been left unbuilt. However, many guests aren’t taking advantage of everything Disney World has to offer.
It is almost time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to start in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
On select nights from November 8th to December 20th, the Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, it is a specially ticketed event. Those with tickets can enter the Magic Kingdom at 4 PM. The park officially closes for regular park operating hours at 6 PM, and the party kicks off at 7 PM. During the party, there is specialty entertainment like Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. There are also holiday-themed character meet, and greets, and lines for attractions tend to be shorter since the party has a limited capacity. Of course, there are tons of party-exclusive food, but we are confused about why getting some of these treats is so complicated.
We track the daily Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass pricing, and when we notice a record-breaking high price, we let you know.

If you choose to use Lightning Lane, it can eat a big chunk out of your budget when the prices skyrocket, and you pay for every person in your group. But what’s even better than telling you when the prices soar is letting you know when we see a drop! We would much rather come to you with this good news, and luckily we can!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
