food IS a theme park
It may be wintertime, but in Florida, we eat ice cream and drink milkshakes ALL year long! Lately, Disney has been in a festive mood — we’ve seen new sugar cookie-inspired Minnie ears, tried some cookies on the Cookie Stroll in EPCOT, and admired the decorations all around the parks and resorts!
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
While we were in Disney’s Hollywood Studios this morning, we noticed a NEW holiday milkshake! Does it taste as good as it looks? Let’s find out!
Happy Festival of the Holidays! This year’s EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is well underway and we’ve talked about what we consider what’s the best of the fest, but now we want to know what YOU think are the best treats!
The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
That’s why we’ve been asking our readers to vote over on our Instagram page for what they consider the best Festival of the Holidays treats! Today, we’ve got the results from Round Three of our Festival of the Holidays Bracket. Let’s dive in!
Now that the holiday season has officially arrived at Disney World, we’ve been busy enjoying a lot of the holiday foods.
Holiday cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse
We ate our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, as well as tried out many other holiday snacks around the resort. But while we were eating our way around Disney World, we were also keeping a close eye on restaurant menus to see what’s changed.
When it comes to awesome sweet treats, Gideon’s Bakehouse definitely knows their stuff!
Gideon’s holiday yummies!
Gideon’s Bakehouse is one of our go-to spots in Disney Springs when we’re craving something sweet (and when AREN’T we craving something sweet??). Gideon’s recently released their seasonal holiday flavors, which did not disappoint. And now, there’s an even more exclusive menu item we’re adding to our wish list!
It’s the week after a very busy Thanksgiving weekend, so let’s check in on how busy the Disney World parks are!
Bright, sunny Cinderella Castle!
The holidays are a super popular time for people to visit Disney World, but it’s still early December, and we never know when the parks are gonna have unexpectedly busy days! This morning, we went to two Disney parks to see how those weekend morning crowds are doing! [Read more…]

Hello from Walt Disney World!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! (Bonus points if you sang that in your head.)
Happy December, everyone! Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we’re really feeling the holiday cheer in the parks. We’ve seen awesome decorations, tried delicious foods, and even seen Santa Claus! But, have the festivities brought the crowds? We like to keep up with how lines are looking in order to gauge how busy it is, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
We cannot lie, we love shopping. In Disney World, you can’t go 20 steps without finding something to buy, so it’s pretty easy to spend money in the parks and resorts. But there’s one place in Disney World that’s even MORE dangerous for those of us who love shopping: Disney Springs. And now, there’s a new store coming to Disney Springs to further fuel our shopping addiction.
Who wants to go shopping?
Looking for some elegant jewelry? In need of a new pair of earrings to wear while you dine at Steakhouse 71? Good news! A new jewelry store is coming to Disney Springs next year.

Disney Genie is a new service offered to Disney World guests, and it has both free and paid options.

With Genie+, guests can “skip the line” just like we did in the past with FastPass+ — except now, it costs money. And as we’re experiencing the first super busy season with Genie+, we’ve noticed a trend we think you should be aware of before visiting and before purchasing Genie+.
