food IS a theme park
We go to Disney World every day, and yeah, we ride some pretty thrilling rides.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
NOOOOO…we’re not talking about “it’s a small world,” although some of y’all might call it a scary ride. But we’ve taken multiple rides on Tower of Terror, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle / Run.
But, there’s an experience going on in New York City right now that we might just say “no,” to.
The holiday season is one of our favorite times to visit Disney World.
Jingle Cruise
From Christmas-themed treats and meeting Santa Claus to watching the snow (er, snoap) fall on Main Street, U.S.A., there is so much to do. But one of the most popular things about the season is getting to see some of Disney’s classic rides all dolled up with lights and merry decor. Near the end of the year, Jungle Cruise turns into Jingle Cruise, where it gets decked out in holiday-themed jokes, kitschy decor, and more. We’ve already gotten a chance to experience it this year, but if you haven’t — we now know when it’s changing back!
The holiday season has taken over Disney World — and we’re soaking in allll the festive details.
Christmas tree in EPCOT’s World Showcase
We’ve been to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights event. We will continue to admire all the decorations in the parks. And — OF COURSE — we’re ready to eat ALL the holiday treats. But one thing we also look forward to every year is the holiday overlays, especially the one at an underrated EPCOT ride. Well, good news: it’s finally here!
So where are our DFB readers who are obsessed with Disney World’s Haunted Mansion?
Haunted Mansion
We get it — we’ve been on Haunted Mansion NUMEROUS times, and each time, we notice something different about the ride. We’re also really excited — and curious — about the addition of Hatbox Ghost to the attraction, which should be coming soon. However, there’s already something NEW in the ride — and it is SUPER CREEPY but also really special.
If you’ve ever been to Disney World, chances are you have a favorite ride.
Spaceship Earth
Maybe it’s Pirates of the Caribbean or Haunted Mansion or even Spaceship Earth or Tower of Terror. Or maybe, it’s a new Disney World ride that’s thrilling, exciting, and all-around a groovy time. So, did your favorite ride win this award for Outstanding Attraction? Let’s find out!
Going to Disney World means getting to go on all of your favorite rides!
Cinderella Castle at Disney World
When you’re at Disney World, the world is your oyster (especially on Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid). However, with any ride comes the debate of what seats are good and bad. Everyone has their own preference, which is great! But… what if we told you that you’ve been choosing the WORST seats on some of your favorite attractions?
Are you a LEGO fan?
LEGO Store
Disney has put out some pretty amazing LEGO sets recently, including sets to create Captain America’s shield, the Encanto Casita, Rapunzel’s Tower, and more. Of course, you have those LEGO builders who think OUTSIDE the box and create something straight out of their imagination. Well, a few LEGO builders did just that and recreated the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Magic Kingdom — OUT OF LEGOs.
The holiday season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we are so ready for everything that brings to the parks.
The Jingle Cruise is here!
We are SO ready for all the holiday decorations, all the holiday food (the thing we might get MOST excited about), Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and more. But we’re also STOKED to be able to ride Jingle Cruise, the holiday version of Jungle Cruise. So let’s head on over to Adventureland to catch our boat!
‘Tis the season to be jolly! Yes, the holiday season is arriving in Disney World, and with that comes a lot of festive things.
Break out the Holiday decor
We’ll have the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays to look forward to soon. We’ve already seen some holiday decorations taking over the parks. We’ve also seen a TON of holiday merchandise in stores. But one of the things we’re most excited about is the holiday overlay on one of Disney World’s classic rides, and we now know when that might happen!
A fan-favorite Disneyland attraction has been closed for refurbishment — but that’s all changing soon!
Disneyland
Space Mountain closed its doors on September 18th so it could undergo a bit of a refresh, and if you’re heading to Disneyland soon we’ve got some excellent news for you!
