Fans of The Santa Clause, Home Alone, and classic Christmas cartoons like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman who also happen to love Walt Disney World are in luck, because there’s a NEW Instagrammable wall at Disney Springs celebrating Freeform’s holiday programming!
With TONS of shops and restaurants, it seems there’s almost always something new to discover in Disney Springs!

A special seasonal churro will be coming back to Disney Springs soon, lots of stores are offering holiday deals during Thanksgiving week, and you may even get to see Santa ON A BOAT while you’re there! Today, as we walked around Disney Springs, we noticed that one shopping kiosk had reopened and we got an update on the future of this same company’s other locations throughout Disney World.
We sure love getting cozy in our Disney hoodies and spirit jerseys, especially at this time of year!

Disney has come up with lots of cute designs to showcase characters in their merchandise! Today, while hanging out in the parks we spotted some new styles on pullovers!
If you’re like us, you’ve spent a good chunk of the last year obsessed with Disney+’s The Mandalorian, and NOT just because of The Child, a.k.a. Baby Yoda. (But, OK, Baby Yoda is pretty cute, too!)

And while there’s a RIDICULOUS amount of merch for that 50-year-old macaron– and egg-eating bounty, there’s not a as much for, ya know, the rest of the show.
Hello from EPCOT!

Downtown Disney has been continuing its slow and steady phased reopening with the addition of Buena Vista Street reopening for shopping and dining last week. With Orange County currently in the most restrictive reopening tier, only outdoor dining is permitted at this time.

That said, outdoor dining is still available, and another restaurant in the Downtown Disney District will be reopening its doors TODAY for guests!

It’s the holiday season and that means HOLIDAY COCKTAILS!
Martha’s Vineyard
We’ve already tried some seriously Christmasy concoctions like the Spiked Eggnog from Dockside Margaritas, the Jägerpunsch at B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co., and our beloved Spiked Hot Cocoa Flight at ABC Commissary. Now, we’re trying out another drink and this one is for the peppermint-lovers!
We’re SO excited for all the new things coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
Last week we learned LOTS of exciting details about many of these projects during the “EPCOT — The Magic of Possibility” presentation as part of D23’s Fantastic Worlds events. Disney shared news about Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Harmonious, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and more! Not too long after that, Disney shared a press release on their website about the EPCOT transformation as well. And while this was all super exciting, we couldn’t help but notice a few things were missing. But we were also excited to see that a few things we haven’t heard about in a while were still mentioned. Let’s break it all down.
