food IS a theme park
Some of the best dining at Walt Disney World isn’t in a theme park OR a resort…it’s at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Just like the parks, we head to Disney Springs multiple times a week to look for new snacks, check up on merchandise, and eat at the restaurants to give you our honest reviews. We keep our eyes peeled for the best dining options and deals, and today we’ve got some specials from not one, but TWO Disney Springs restaurants!
There’s no time quite like the holiday season at Walt Disney World, and the grand finale for that season is the New Year!
Christmas Tree at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Recently we’ve been getting a look into what Disney is planning for the final night of 2020, and sadly it doesn’t include fireworks or staying in the parks until midnight. Despite this, we’re still expecting Disney World to be fairly crowded, and some restaurants will be open late to feed those choosing to stay up and ring in the new year. In addition to the dining options, we’ve now got some more information on the “festive offerings” at the Disney resorts to celebrate this holiday!
‘Tis the season for plenty of holiday-themed eats and drinks in Disney World!
Gingerbread Cookie
When we think about holiday treats, one of the first flavors that comes to our mind is peppermint! So, when we saw that one of our favorite minty cocktails had made its return to Disney World, we had to see if it was just as delicious as in years past!
Now that the holidays have officially arrived in Disney World, it looks like the crowds have arrived as well!
EPCOT
Yesterday marked the start of the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Of course, we were there checking out all of the delicious food and beverage items at this year’s festival! But in addition to the menu items, we also got a taste of the crowds that arrived to check out the new seasonal offerings.
We’re just going to come right out and say it…we LOVE bread.
Pumpkin Bread
Whether it be bread service at Sanaa, bread pudding at the Polynesian Resort, or our beloved School Bread in the Norway pavilion, we’re pretty much always down to eat some bread. In fact, we love bread so much that this year, we made a gift guide dedicated to the bread lover in your life! Today we got the chance to try a different kind of bread — a German Christmas bread — and we’re excited to share our thoughts!
It’s no secret that we here at DFB really love the holiday season!
BoardWalk Inn decorations
We love the decorations, the specially-themed snacks, and this year, we’ve really been enjoying the character cavalcades at Walt Disney World! But, like many others, we also really love to celebrate the holiday season outside of the Disney Parks — curled up on our couch watching Christmas movies. If you also love spending this time of year wrapped in a warm blanket and watching classics like How the Grinch Stole Christmas, then we’ve got the perfect job for you!
Disney really knows how to celebrate the holidays!
Holiday Character Cavalcade
From over-the-top decorations to delicious and Instagrammable snacks, there’s so much to see and do in the parks. This year alone we’ve seen Christmas-themed character cavalcades, special projections on park icons, tons of holiday merchandise, and just a general feel of Christmas cheer in the parks! But, Disney doesn’t stop their jolliness with the theme parks, because they’re also known for some exciting holiday programming, and this year will be no exception!
Just last week, we shared that Santa Claus would be coming to Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort as part of the new Santa’s Village experience. And now, the resort has started decorating to prepare for the festivities!
Disney’s Dolphin Resort
We’ve seen holiday decorations all around Walt Disney World, including several of the resorts and all four of the theme parks, but we still get excited when we see MORE Christmas trees! Walking around Disney and seeing everything decked out makes the holidays even more magical.
The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for Walt Disney World!
Holiday Crowds
People travel from all over to check out the Christmas decorations, the holiday snacks, and Mickey and friends dressed in their festive best! During this time when many guests have extra days off of work, the parks can get pretty crowded, and it can be more difficult to plan your trip. That’s why we’ve been trying to keep our readers updated on the latest in Disney Park Pass availability, and today we’ve got lots to share!
Slowly but surely, holiday decorations are POPping up all over Walt Disney World. We’ve seen them at the Contemporary Resort, the Boardwalk Inn, and Animal Kingdom Lodge, and so many more!
Contemporary Resort Christmas tree
And now, Pop Century Resort and Art of Animation are all decked out!
