food IS a theme park
Warm holiday wishes from the Magic Kingdom in Disney World!
Holiday Character Cavalcade
We’ve been making Christmas-filled trips to all the parks! We’re seeking out new goodies and more surprises this holiday season. Come see what we found at the Magic Kingdom recently!
Disney has made some AMAZING things out of gingerbread over the years!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House in 2019
Even though there won’t be any massive gingerbread displays in the resorts this year, we have seen some very intricate, smaller creations, like a gingerbread/chocolate sculpture at Disney’s Grand Floridian and a gingerbread model of the Contemporary Resort. We’ll also be on the lookout for a gingerbread display to appear at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays! If all this talk of gingerbread is making you want to build a creation of your own, then we’ve got good news for you — shopDisney is holding a gingerbread contest this year!
Our wish list keeps growing and growing each time we visit the Disney Parks or go on an online shopping spree! Disney has just been keeping up its A-game with cute apparel, accessories, and toys that we absolutely adore.
Holiday Merchandise
But, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide which gifts you should get for your family members. Would your mom love those Minnie earrings or new Dooney and Bourke bag more? Are your kiddos more into Star Wars or Marvel? Well, we’re here to help you find the best Disney gifts of the holiday season that your whole family will love!
Hello explorers! We’re back at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with another what’s new!
Pandora
We were on the lookout for the latest food and merchandise in the park. Without further ado, let’s dive right in!
Disney commercials sure know how to tug on our heartstrings, AND get us really excited about our future trips!
Walt Disney World Resort entrance
Disney recently shared its new commercial that reminds us of the fun a Disney trip can bring before we even drive through that iconic archway.
Lots of Disney resorts are decorated for the holidays with wreaths and garland galore!
Wilderness Lodge Christmas decor
Luckily when there are holiday decorations, holiday treats aren’t far behind! Today we visited Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what special snacks they were offering for the holiday season.
Disney World restaurants often tweak their menus here and there, sometimes adding items and sometimes subtracting items.
Yak and Yeti Restaurant
And we’ve seen several changes at Animal Kingdom’s Yak & Yeti Restaurant since it reopened!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Disney World Resorts!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
In the past few weeks, we’ve been checking out the hotels around Disney World to see what holiday decorations they’ve decked the halls with this year. We’ve already seen gorgeous Christmas trees pop up at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Grand Floridian Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, and more. And now, another Disney Resort has gotten a bit more festive!
We have been seeing some very cool merch pop up everywhere to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Disney’s Fantasia!

From snowglobes to pins, cupcakes to Funko Pop figurines, it feels like every time we turn around there is something new out there to celebrate the anniversary of this iconic animated film. What we didn’t necessarily expect to see was a Fantasia AIRPLANE!
There’s just something about holiday snacks and flavors that just make us feel all warm and cozy inside!
Mickey’s Holiday Cookie
And Disney World has given us a great variety of holiday flavors, too, with such wonderful concoctions like chocolate peppermint bark, frozen salted caramel hot chocolate, and eggnog fudge. YUM!!!
