food IS a theme park
2020 will be remembered for a lot of big things. It’s the year everything — including Disney World — shut down, the year we saw never before seen mask mandates in the park, and, for fans of the Holiday Season, the year we won’t get to see all of the elaborate gingerbread displays we’ve looked forward to each year at Disney World.
Grand Floridian’s Gingerbread House
But there is at least ONE gingerbread display we know we can look forward to checking out this year (and it’s a favorite of ours!).
Oh…you thought we were done with all the exciting Festival of the Holidays news?! Well, we weren’t!!
Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays
We have already shared details on ALL the booths, we’ve announced the return of the Cookie Stroll, AND we shared the mega exciting details about the new Olaf Scavenger Hunt. Now, we’re back with a few entertainment details.
We’ve loved seeing our favorite characters ride (or in poor Elsa’s case…WALK by herself!) around World Showcase in EPCOT.
Elsa in EPCOT. Someone Give This Girl a RIDE!
While we didn’t see a Halloween themed Promenade make its way around World Showcase, we now know what festive character experiences we’ll see this Holiday Season!
Wow, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays news is pouring in!

We already shared that the ALL of the 2020 booths and the fact that the Cookie Stroll will be returning. Now, we’re back to share info about a brand new offering — Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition! This new scavenger hunt will replace the Chip & Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree Scavenger Hunt.
There’s nothing quite like a good EPCOT festival.
Festival of the Holidays
We were super excited to see that the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is returning this year despite the global health crisis, and now we know WHERE we’ll be EATING around the fest!
It may still be Halloween time but Disney World is fully starting to shift its eyes to Christmas.
Cookie Stroll Plate
We know the International Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT will be returning this year — without the beloved Candlelight Processional — and now we know another favorite that WILL be returning: the Cookie Stroll!
We tend to have a delightful time whenever we step into EPCOT, and sometimes that makes us want some EPCOT merchandise.
Spaceship Earth
Recently, we’ve seen TONS of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival merchandise, but now we have a chance to grab a general EPCOT souvenir that is super cute. Plus, it’ll help us get that caffeine fix!
Looks like Disney-fans are excited for 2020 to be over, and we don’t blame them. The week of the New Year tends to be one of the busiest times for Walt Disney World Resort, and it seems that this year may be no different — even if that business is muted by the capacity limitations.
Magic Kingdom Fireworks
We’ve thought a little bit about what New Years Eve will look like in the parks this year and we’re sure it will be very different, but that’s not stopping folks from booking up the Disney Park Pass reservations!
It may be October, but that will not stop Disney from beginning their winter festivities!
Holiday Bag
Disney announced the dates for the Festival of the Holidays back in September, but you can start celebrating early with these SWEET new Peppermint Minnie Ears!
‘Tis the season for all things spooky at Disney World! And that even includes spooky Halloween popcorn buckets!
Orange Cauldron Popcorn Bucket
And we’ve been on a mission to find every single one in the parks that we can find. So far, we’ve seen Oogie Boogie, a Hitchhiking Ghost, and a creepy cauldron (among others).
