food IS a theme park
One of the most fun things we get to do at Disney World during the holidays is trying out all the festive drinks!
Candy Cane Martini
We’re already off to a solid start tasting our way through the holiday drinks around the parks and resorts! This year, we’ve tried a pumpkin spice margarita, a candy cane martini, spiked eggnog, and MORE!
There have been a lot of exciting new things to see and do in the Downtown Disney District! While the theme parks remain closed at the Disneyland Resort, guests can still shop and dine at the many locations throughout Downtown Disney as well as Buena Vista Street, which reopened last month!

Let’s take a look at what we discovered on our latest visit!
‘Tis the season for plenty of holiday-themed eats and drinks in Disney World!
Gingerbread Cookie
When we think about holiday treats, one of the first flavors that comes to our mind is peppermint! So, when we saw that one of our favorite minty cocktails had made its return to Disney World, we had to see if it was just as delicious as in years past!
Last month, it was announced that the Villas at the Grand Californian Hotel in Disneyland Resort were set to reopen on December 6th.

During the initial plans for reopening, Disney Vacation Club Members were to be able to book stays in the Villas, while the other areas of the hotel were set to remain closed.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance continues to be an incredibly popular ride, but it’s also still one of the most difficult ones to get on.
Rise of the Resistance
Today, we were lucky enough to get a Boarding Group (we were crossing ALL our fingers and toes) and we got called back to ride the attraction in the afternoon, but the line was already VERY long and eventually we ended waiting for Rise of the Resistance in part of ANOTHER attraction’s queue that was quite muppetsational!
Hello, DFB Friends!
Magic Kingdom Train Station
We took a stroll through Magic Kingdom to spot anything new, so here are the latest updates!
Don’t know if you’ve heard, but it all started with a mouse.
Magic Kingdom
Earlier today, we found out that we can celebrate Walt Disney’s birthday and his creation of Mickey Mouse with the new Walt Disney Funko Pop! at an upcoming Disneyland shopping event — but that’s not the ONLY way you can get it!
Monsters, Inc. has become quite the Disney classic, hasn’t it?
Monsters Inc., Experience
And we’ve really enjoyed seeing it getting so much representation at Disney World, in food, bags, and merch. But we just found a piece of Monsters, Inc. merchandise at Disney World that will have us SCREAMING for more!
One of the best ways to celebrate your love for Disney, especially when you can’t be in the parks, is with Disney merchandise!
Baby Yoda Mini Backpack
We’re finding new Disney merchandise in the parks and online nearly every single day! It can be really hard to keep track of it all, so we’re starting this new series! Each week, we’ll make a post collecting all the new online Disney merchandise, and you’ll be able to check out the latest and greatest. This week had a LOT of really cool items, so let’s dive right in!
Disney World is encouraging the use of virtual check-ins for dining, hotels, and Mobile Orders.
Pop Century Resort
Earlier, we reported on Disney’s new Mobile Checkout feature that allows you to scan and purchase items in a Disney gift shop. The system was being tested in Disneyland then made its way to Mouse Gear in EPCOT. One more gift shop has been added to the virtual check out option in Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
