Fantasy in the Sky for New Year’s Eve 2022
Believe it or not, 2025 is almost here, and Disney World is getting ready to ring in the new year. As we detailed earlier this month, demand is high for New Year’s Eve at the resort, as reservations are already sold out for the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. Now Disney has released details on what guests can expect at the end of the year.
Have you ever visited Disney World’s tiny train town?
Let’s go to the village!
As the self-proclaimed mayor of the little village in EPCOT, I spend quite a bit of time there, and I’m here to tell you that those tiny residents are UNRULY. In the past few months, I’ve seen them get into all kinds of mischief and nonsense, and they don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon! Let’s dive in and see what they were up to during my last visit.
There are SO many great places to grab a snack when you’re visiting Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
There’s the ever-popular Gideon’s Bakehouse, the delicious Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, and of course, the incredibly inventive Salt & Straw. If you want Dole Whip, you could hit Swirls on the Water, or if you’re in the mood for cookies without the wait, the Cookie Bar at Summer House on the Lake is a great option. But right now, one Disney Springs snack spot is temporarily closed!
We’ve been eating our way through Disney World and this time we’re making our way to Hollywood Studios to enjoy a nice lunch!
Hollywood Studios
With so many options available at Hollywood Studios, we decided to head over to a true classic: Rosie’s All-American Cafe to ask the question, does this popular quick service still hold up?
Get ready to build!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — being a Disney Vacation Club Member comes with plenty of perks.
DVC Welcome Center in Disney Springs
Of course, there’s the fact that you can go on a Disney World vacation at the drop of a hat, plus exclusive discounts, eats, and so much more. Oh yeah, and exclusive Disney Vacation Club lounges all around the parks and more! A newly refurbished DVC lounge has just reopened at EPCOT and we’re bringing you with us as we take a look around.

Reservations are FILLING up fast.
Jollywood Nights
Spending part of the holiday season at Disney World has become a major tradition for many visitors. Whether it’s attending a special event like the Magic Kingdom’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, taking a trip ”around the world” at EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, or simply soaking in the ambiance of the parks on a Holiday. However, if you have a Disney ticket type or Annual Pass that requires a reservation and you’re hoping to spend some time at the resort this season, you should probably make a reservation soon!
If there’s one thing we love about Disney World, it’s the FOOD! We are Disney Food Blog, after all.
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano
So, when a Disney World restaurant adds something new to its menu, well, we make it our job to go try it out. We’re serious. That literally is our job. And we LOVE IT! Recently, a hidden Hollywood Studios restaurant debuted some new menu items so of course, we had to check it out.
Halloween is coming up later this week, followed by Thanksgiving, and then it will officially be the Christmas season, along with the other winter holidays!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom 2023
The jolliest time of the year is certainly coming up fast, and we’re ready to take down our spooky decorations and trade them out for all our Christmas decor! Even though Thanksgiving comes first, there’s nothing wrong with putting up our winter holiday decorations in November, right? And we know which decorations all of us Millennials will be adding to our houses this year!
