food IS a theme park
The holidays are in full swing in Disney World, and we’re having a jolly good time!
Cinderella Castle
With the holidays comes holiday crowds, so we’re taking a look at the average wait times in ALL FOUR PARKS! Let’s dive in and see how the crowds at Disney World affected wait times!
This time of year, it’s absolutely CRUCIAL to consume a steady stream of peppermint, in order to maintain proper holiday giddiness! Fortunately, whether it’s a GIGANTIC donut or a refreshing cocktail, Disney World has those peppermint cravings covered!Â
Animal Kingdom Holidays
Beyond the popular snack picks, we discovered ANOTHER way to add a little peppermint to your life with this ice cream hack at Animal Kingdom!Â
We’ve been keeping an eye on construction at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, the new addition at the Swan and Dolphin Resort!
The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
The Swan Reserve will have over 300 guest rooms, a signature restaurant and bar, a health club, a pool, and more. It was previously announced that the new addition would be opening in summer 2021, but now we have a more specific idea of when the Swan Reserve will first welcome guests — and a preview of the rooms!
Hello, from Disney’s Yacht Club Resort!
Ale & Compass sign
We decided to try breakfast at the table-service location Ale & Compass on our recent trip to Disney World. This restaurant is known for coastal, New-England style cuisine. We haven’t been blown away by this location in the past so we wanted to see how breakfast was holding up.
There are a LOT of rides in Disney World, and some of them get through WAY more folks than others.
Expedition Everest
With all the hubbub about capacities in a reopened Disney World and our constant interest in wait times, we’re wondering which Disney World attractions actually have the HIGHEST capacities — and maybe you are too! We’re looking at the top five highest capacity attractions in each Disney World park!
There’s no doubt that the holidays look a bit different this year in Disney World.
Castle Projections
With holiday cavalcades instead of parades, no New Year’s Eve fireworks, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party cancelled, it can be easy to miss the past holidays at Disney. However, Disney has released a video of last year’s “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks” for us to enjoy at home!
Christmas and New Year’s might be around the corner, but we are SUPER HYPED for National Cupcake Day!
Sprinkles
And, Sprinkles is ready to celebrate it in the sweetest way possible by bringing back a returning cupcake for a limited time only! (So, that means you’re going to want to rush to a bakery near you soon!)
It feels like there’s a Star Wars product for everything we need in our lives.

There are seemingly endless options to add a little Baby Yoda to our daily routines. We’re making our homes more intergalactic-feeling with these 18 new home-goods inspired by Star Wars from Toynk!
Since reopening, shops at Disney Springs are doing things a lot differently to help with social distancing and new health and safety guidelines.
World of Disney Entrance Sign
Not only are masks required in all shops, and shops have limited capacity, but popular shop World of Disney can require guests to join a virtual line.
It’s getting pretty chilly as we head towards winter, even here at Disney World!
Chilly day at the Magic Kingdom
And we’ve started to see the parks respond by offering up hot beverages like hot cocoa and spiced cider, and we’ve seen a lot more sweatshirts in the shops!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
