food IS a theme park
We’ve been checking out everything that’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and also nearby at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
View of Expedition Everest
We noticed some construction updates over at Kilimanjaro Safaris and some pretty big crowds over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We got to experience a nice holiday ambiance at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and some sweet holiday treats!
Although we’re still busy trying out all the new holiday snacks and drinks at Disney World, we’re still keeping an eye on restaurant menus and updates!
Holiday Cupcake at Capt. Cook’s
We didn’t spot any official menu changes this week, though, but a BUNCH of our favorite snack spots at Disney World have reopened!
Who’s ready for a festive trip around the Monorail loop??
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Now that the holiday season is in full-swing around Disney World, we’ve seen a ton of new additions make their way to the parks and resorts! So, we decided to take a trip around the Monorail loop hotels to see what new food, merchandise, and construction updates have popped up since our last visit. Let’s take a look!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
We spent a day wandering around all the lands just to see what’s new — so here are the latest updates!
All year long, it’s been an ever-unfolding saga of news, reports, statistics, mandates, and lockdowns due to COVID-19. Finding it hard to keep up? You’re not alone!Â
Chefs de France Social Distancing
Now with the holidays upon us, and as people tend to gather indoors in greater numbers due to chillier weather and festive traditions, the Centers for Disease Control is adding to its mask-wearing recommendations.Â
This time of year, what Disney World lacks in snow, it MORE than makes up for with enough gingerbread desserts to make your tastebuds think you’re in Arendelle!Â
Welcome to Fort Wilderness!
From gingerbread churros to Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwiches, we literally can’t get enough! Now a NEW cupcake contender has entered the festive fray, and it’s showing up NOW for Mobile Order at Fort Wilderness Resort!Â
Let’s be honest: more often than not, when those sweet cravings hit at Disney World, we go BANANAS for over-the-top ice cream sundaes, colossal ice cream sandwiches, and Boston Cream Pie Donuts the size of…Boston. But sometimes — just sometimes! — all we want is a lil’ treat!Â
L’Artisan des Glaces
While roving around EPCOT, we found the PERFECT solution for those dainty cravings in the form of a macaron surprise!Â
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
And so many of the dining locations there have started to get into the holiday spirit — we’ve tried several holiday treats at Disney Springs, as well as seen some great holiday decorations. And there are even holiday deals to be had!
Disney’s Polynesian Resort has been offering a selection of special merchandise from Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii!
Olu Mel and Duffy keychains
We’ve seen a lot of merchandise specifically featuring Olu Mel, the turtle companion of Duffy. He even got his own cupcake! Now, ALL of Duffy and friends can be spotted on a headband made exclusively for Aulani Resort! Oh, and a tropical tote bag caught our eye, too!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
