food IS a theme park
It’s a beautiful day, so let’s head to Magic Kingdom to see what’s new!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve seen a lot of changes here in the past few weeks: Christmas decorations, holiday cavalcades, new merchandise, and so many delicious snacks! Today we visited the park to see what we could add to that list, so let’s dive right in!
There’s nothing quite like Disney World during the holiday season!
Grand Floridian Christmas decorations
Disney decorates the parks and resorts to make us feel warm, cozy, holly, and jolly — all at the same time! So far this holiday season, we’ve seen decor pop up at a number of resorts — Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and several others. Now we can add two more resorts to the list because the halls are decked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort!
If you’re looking for a fun companion to bring home from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, building a droid at Droid Depot could be just the thing you’re looking for!
Droid Depot
Very soon a BRAND NEW droid will be available in Galaxy’s Edge and this is one you might just recognize from a Star Wars television series!
We had an interesting morning as we tried to snag a spot on Rise of the Resistance!
Rise of the Resistance
Recently, Disney updated the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group process to allow guests to get a spot in the Virtual Queue at 7AM, three hours before the Disney’s Hollywood Studios opens. Today, we snagged our spot and then something WEIRD happened.
If you’re a Star Wars fan, there is tons of awesome merch for you to choose from!

In fact, guests can even select their own lightsaber parts at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And while we already knew that some new designs will be debuting soon, Disney just announced that even MORE new hilts will be available online later this month!
There has been some great news for Star Wars fans today.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World
We got a super exciting look at the rooms inside the upcoming Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, and now we learned that THREE brand new toys will be making their way to Batuu soon!
Earlier today, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro, made a presentation at the IAAPA Expo about progress on many of Disney’s ongoing projects.

He shared updates on projects like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Space 220 Restaurant, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in Walt Disney World. He also discussed several projects ongoing at Disneyland Paris. And we also got the chance to see several photos from inside Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, which are both still currently closed.
Get ready for some delicious tachos, nachos, and quesadillas — the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck is reopening in Disney Springs!
4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck in Disney Springs
When Disney Springs began its initial reopening, the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Truck sprung back into action as well, serving up awesome eats with new health and safety measures. But soon after, the food truck once again closed, and we were left to snag our Disney Springs snacks elsewhere.
The holidays have arrived at the Disneyland Resort! Well, at least to the areas that guests currently have access to. While the theme parks remain closed, Downtown Disney is available for shopping and outdoor dining, and this Thursday, Buena Vista Street will also reopen!
Christmas has arrived at Downtown Disney!
Let’s take a look at some of the seasonal dining and shopping guests can take part in!
Baby Yoda here, Baby Yoda there, Baby Yoda everywhere! It seems like Disney is releasing merchandise based on the hit Disney+ show, The Mandalorian, left and right these days!
Star Wars Mandalorian PEZ
Just recently, we’ve seen Baby Yoda magnets, phone cases, t-shirts, AND lots of toys! Now there are some super-cute new The Child bags available on shopDisney!
