food IS a theme park
We’ve been busy trying out all the holiday snacks at Disney World, and new ones keep popping up every day!
Holidays at the Magic Kingdom 2020
And a lot of those snacks are cupcakes, including Wilderness Lodge’s Christmas Cupcake, an eggnog cupcake, and a red velvet wreath cupcake. And so many of these cupcakes are so pretty to look at, but the proof is in the taste — which is why we buy and try them ALL!
We’ve been eating our way around Disney Springs since its reopening, revisiting old favorites (like Wine Bar George), but also revisiting some locations that haven’t always been on our “must” lists.
Planet Hollywood
One of those that rarely makes our “must do” list is Planet Hollywood Observatory. Typically known more for its movie memorabilia than its food, we’ve often left rather unimpressed by the eats. But we revisited it recently to see if there was anything on the menu that could change our mind. [Read more…]
A few days ago, it was announced that a stay-at-home order could go into effect in Southern California.
Disney California Adventure Park
This morning, we saw that the ICU availability dropped below 15% which triggered this order into action. And tonight it was announced that the order would begin on December 6th at 11:59PM.Â
It seems like there’s always some sort of construction going on at Disney World, especially now, as lots of new attractions and refurbishments are being prepared for the park’s 50th anniversary next year.
TRON Construction November 2020
We’ve been following along with all the upcoming projects because we’re so excited to see them getting closer and closer to being completed! There’s definitely a lot to keep track of, so here’s ALL the construction going on in Disney World this week!
Hello DFB friends! We recently traveled around EPCOT to check on the latest!
Spaceship Earth
We spotted new merchandise, some new menu items, and a few construction updates! So let’s dive in!
So many holiday drinks to try, so little time…
Pumpkin Margarita
Just kidding! We’re totally making time to try them all! So far, we’ve tried a drink called Rum Rum Reindeer, a Minty Mistletoe drink, and spiked eggnog! [Read more…]
We’ve been spending some of our time over in Disney Springs, checking out what’s new as we get closer to the holidays.
Disney Springs
And it turns out we spotted a bunch of new things in Disney Springs this week, including fuzzy ears, construction updates, and some special holiday treats!
We are simply obsessed with The Mandalorian on Disney+ and season 2 has been SUCH A WILD RIDE!
Mandalorian Magnet
And that makes us want to grab up all The Mandalorian merchandise we can find, including t-shirts, Baby Yoda bags, and customizable merch! But we just found a new piece of merch that we think Mando fans are really going to love!
This year’s EPCOT Festival of Holidays is a little different from previous years.
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
One big change is that the Candlelight Processional was canceled this year.
A couple of weeks ago, Orange County in California re-entered the most restrictive reopening tier, the Purple Tier, due to a rise in positive case rates. Since then, the county has had to close indoor dining operations, as well as reduce capacity at indoor retail locations to 25%.
Disney California Adventure Park
Now, 11 counties across Southern California, including Orange County where Disneyland is located, will enter a new stay-at-home order.
