food IS a theme park
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is HERE.
A crowded main street during the event!
And you know what that means?! Loads of new holiday treats for us to enjoy! While some of the new treats are available to enjoy ALL day in Magic Kingdom, others are exclusive to the party.
The holiday season has just begun, and Disney World is already celebrating. But that also means the new year is right around the corner.
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
Disney World is a very popular vacation destination to ring in the new year, and each new calendar year brings lots of news and changes to the parks. If you’re planning a trip for January, one of the (usually) slower times in the parks, here’s why you DON’T want to visit at the beginning of the month.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is typically the park that closes earliest in Disney World for the safety and comfort of the animals, but we’re getting an extra special treat tonight — we’re at Extended Evening Hours!
Tree of Life at night
Extended Evening Hours are available to Disney World guests staying at a Deluxe hotel and are only offered for specific days at certain parks. These special days give guests extra time in the parks at night; it is a great way to experience a ton of attractions with little to no waits! In the past, this benefit was only available in  Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. But now Extended Evening Hours are available at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, too! So what are we waiting for? Let’s get into the park!
Are you working on getting all the things on the Christmas list?

We surely don’t want you to miss even a single opportunity to help you save on your next Disney merch purchases! So, we pulled together a list of the deals on the merch and the other essentials you’ve been looking for. Let’s go!
The holidays have taken over Disney World — and we’re not mad about it.
Christmas is officially in Disney World!
How can we be when we’re surrounded by all these gorgeous decorations, massive Christmas trees, and fun holiday merchandise? Bring on the festive season! We’re also excited about the new holiday sipper and popcorn bucket that just dropped — and just wait until you see them!
When it comes to hearing about park expansions, we’re all ears.

The Q4 earnings call for the Walt Disney Company happened recently, and we’re here to give you the TL;DR on everything that was talked about. From their big announcements to the theme park numbers, a lot was covered in a short amount of time, so we’re here to break it down.
Listen, we don’t make the rules — but we will encourage you to follow them in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Getting kicked out of the Most Magical Place on Earth certainly doesn’t sound like the start of a vacation we’d personally like to have, and if you want to avoid being banned from Disney World — you need to follow these five rules!
Here comes Santa Claus!!!
SANTA!
No, really! The holidays have arrived in Disney World. Holiday merchandise is EVERYWHERE. Holiday decorations are up in the parks, including the Christmas trees. The gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels are open. The only thing missing is that jolly old elf, Santa Claus. Well, you’ll soon be able to meet the big guy in Disney World — and you won’t even need a park ticket to do it.
We’ve got some FANTASTIC (or should we say…Fantasmic!) news.
Fantasmic! at Disneyland Resort
As you may know, Disneyland’s beloved Fantasmic! show has been closed for a LONG time. In fact, the show abruptly ended way back in April after the Maleficent dragon caught fire mid-show. We’ve been waiting for an official reopening date for a while now, and the time has finally arrived! Yep — Fantasmic! has a reopening date.
Disney’s latest trailer drop has us super emotional. Seriously, we’re feeling alllll the things (but mostly JOY, of course).
Joy!
Buttery popcorn, giant screens, cold soda…yeah, we LOVE going to the movies. Of course, we especially love seeing new Disney movies in theaters, like Elemental, The Little Mermaid, and more. Good news, fellow movie lovers! Disney just dropped a NEW trailer for Inside Out 2. Let’s check it out!
