food IS a theme park
It’s Black Friday and we are ready to shop ’til we drop — mostly virtually, but you get what we mean.

We’ve already seen some great deals from Disney today and we’re offering some of our own over at the DFB Store. Now, we’ve spotted even MORE great discounts on Disney merchandise over at Toynk online!
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of holiday cheer at Disney World, and we’ve really enjoyed checking out the festivities at the Disney parks and Disney Springs!
Star Wars Tree
In Disney Springs, we’ve tried some delicious treats, experienced some creative holiday entertainment, and had a lot of fun checking out the many decorated Christmas trees! There’s so much holiday merchandise to check out in World of Disney, and several restaurants are rolling out their holiday offerings. If you’re planning a festive night outside of the Disney Parks, then you’ll definitely want to stop off here — and now there’s a new treat that you can pick up in Disney Springs and take home to enjoy!
We love checking out the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays booth in France, which is called Le Marche de Noel.
Le Marche de Noel
And although many of the menu items for the booth are returning from last year, we’ve been excited to revisit old favorites and try new ones!
We are LIVE from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! Already, we’ve tried what’s on the menu at Holiday Hearth, Festival Favorites, and Prost!Â
2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
Up next is a trip over to Sapphire Holiday Kitchen. Located in the Morocco Pavilion, this booth is serving up some returning items from last year’s festival!
With Buena Vista Street now open, we’ve got LOTS more shopping and dining to do all throughout Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort!
Carthay Circle
Come with us on a trip today throughout all of Downtown Disney to see what’s new! We’ve got comfy and cute spirit jerseys, a holiday cupcake, a new overhead announcement, and more!
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off! Holiday goodies inspired by various countries and cultures have littered the park and you KNOW we’re trying them all! You can follow along with us live here!Â
Christmas Tree in EPCOT, 2019
The event has been modified this year with less entertainment and limited menu items. Disney is still bringing us new items to try and even a few new food kiosks! New this year is the English Garden in the UK Pavilion. We’re trying ALL the holiday drinks inspired by the country that loves tea!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Disney World as the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off today! You can follow along with us LIVE here!Â
Mickey and Minnie
We’ve already been hopping around to check out some of our favorite returning treats and check out the Gingerbread Display in a new spot. Buuut, we’re also taking some time to explore the stores with the latest Festival of the Holidays merchandise this year!
This year’s Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially begun! Today, we’re tasting all of the delicious eats and sips from around the world, of course with a fun, festive twist.
Festival Favorites
Festival Favorites is located in World ShowPlace in between the United Kingdom and Canada Pavilions, and features menu items from previous Festival of the Holidays! It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen some of these dishes appear in an EPCOT festival, so we were anxious to see how they would measure up!
We’ve got our stretchy pants ready and our Santa Hats on because we’re at the grand opening of the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
Holiday Hearth
We just got a taste of the new Twix coffee and doughnuts from Joffrey’s Coffee and got a look at the EPIC gingerbread display at the Canada Pavilion. BUT, there’s a TON of brand new goodies joining the group with the debut of the Holiday Hearth this year!
It’s November 27th, and you know what that means — the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially started!Â
Christmas Tree in Epcot
Now, Christmas is going to look a little different at EPCOT this year. Due to the global health crisis, Disney World has canceled its famous Candlelight Processional, and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is undergoing some changes as well. You may not be able to meet Santa Claus or Anna and Elsa during this time, but Disney has gotten really creative with character cavalcades since reopening!
