food IS a theme park
This coming Sunday, we’ll be kicking off the Festival of the Holidays in Epcot. But out on the west coast…
Festival of Holidays
…the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure has been in full swing for the past week!
What’s Thanksgiving Day without Turkey with all the trimmings? For years now, Table Service restaurants all over Disney World have served traditional Thanksgiving Day meals to visitors on Thanksgiving Day. But this year, a few Counter Service locations are even getting in on the Thanksgiving fun!
Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn and Cafe
In Magic Kingdom, you can stop by Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe on November 23rd for a full meal of Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Green Beans, Cranberry Sauce, and Gravy.

Epcot’s Sunshine Seasons will serve a Thanksgiving Plate for lunch and dinner featuring all those same elements. [Read more…]
Are you familiar with New York City’s Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer? Then you may be excited to hear that this award-winning burger joint will open its first California location in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District next year!

Black Tap will bring their well-known All-American and Vegan Burgers to the new location, along with their signature CrazyShake™ milkshakes, like The Cotton Candy Shake (Strawberry) and The Bam Bam Shake (the “Fruity Pebbles” Shake). Garnishes for these over-the-top Shakes include items like lollipops, rock candy, cotton candy, candy pearls, and more!
Christmas is coming!
And your Disney fan wants some Disney loot! So even though we’re in the business of Disney food, you know we can not resist Disney gear. We just can’t. We don’t even bother to try. (Just take my money!)
So here are some holiday Disney gift ideas… for your friends, your family, and yourself…that we just LOVED!
Let’s just get this out of the way: What your family really wants for Christmas is a trip to Disney World. They don’t want a slanket or a weird onion choppy thing or a “hot toy.” They want to go to Disney World with YOU. (And you want that, too.)
So you wanna know how you totally WIN CHRISTMAS this year? Don’t waste your money on *things* — nobody cares about them and they end up in a box under the bed gathering dust. Instead, book your family a Disney World EXPERIENCE and put IT under the tree.
And DFB has pulled some strings to give you the best way to book that vacation…AND put it under the tree for your family to open and celebrate.
We’re stoked to be partnering with Small World Vacations to help YOU surprise YOUR family with the trip of a lifetime, and we’re including a holiday goodie box straight from Disney World that your family can open together on Christmas morning (or Christmas Eve…or Hanukkah…whatever…you do you).
Cinderella Castle all lit up during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Yep, if you book within the dates listed below, you’ll not only get world class service from Small World Vacations, but also a hand-picked goodie box of fun stuff FROM Disney World that Sue from Small World and I put together ourselves.
Inside that goodie box will be Mickey and Minnie holiday ears, a Disney cookbook with a special note from AJ (HEY! That’s ME!), exclusive merch from this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, fun Disney eats, and MORE. It’ll be a blast to open with your family, and then you can start dreaming about your upcoming trip!

Visions of Sugarplums (and much more!) sure are dancing all around Disneyland for the Holidays!

I mean, you didn’t think all the Holiday Snacking was limited to the Booths at the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure, did you? Of course not! There are festive treats galore all over Disneyland Resort, available now through January 7, 2018!
Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and the Disneyland hotels are full to the brim with sweet snacks like Gingerbread Man Cookies and Snowman Shortbread Cookies.
Hello, Disney food friends! There’s so much happening all the time at Walt Disney World, and this is never more true than at the start of the winter holidays! It seems like there are new decorations and new seasonal eats being added… well, constantly!
So here’s what’s new at Disney Springs this week!
Some fun new decor has been added, including these nutty reindeer. We love the pasta hair bows.

The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail made its debut last year. Fitting, since 2016 was the year that Disney Springs celebrated its Grand Opening from the area’s transformation from Downtown Disney.

And, just like Disney Springs itself, the Holiday Christmas Tree Trail itself has expanded this year, too! Last year’s Trail featured 15 Christmas Trees, themed to Disney films and characters.
