food IS a theme park
Santa Claus is coming to town? Actually, he’s already here!
Santa in Hollywood Studios
We’ve seen Santa Claus already in Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom this holiday season. We were told that he would also be visiting Disney Springs, but we hadn’t seen him in person…until TODAY!
Hello to all our DFB friends! We spent today at Disney World taking a ton of photos and videos just to share with you!
Cinderella Castle
We headed to Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Magic Kingdom, so fasten your seatbelt because here we go!
Last week, the holiday season OFFICIALLY arrived in Walt Disney World, bringing over-the-top decorations, delicious specialty treats, and lots of new merchandise.

One of our favorite things this year, though, has got to be the Christmas cavalcades! Seeing Mickey, Goofy, the toy soldiers, and even Santa Claus decked out in their festive best made our hearts grow three sizes! (Christmas tends to have that effect on people, just ask the Grinch.) But we all know that it rains A LOT in Florida, which calls for rainy day holiday cavalcades!!
We have seriously been enjoying the beginning of the holiday season at Disney World. There is really only one word we can use to describe it…MAGICAL.
Holiday Mickey and Minnie Cavalcade
And sure, that’s a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to Disney World, but after you see the photos and videos we took today, we think you’ll agree that it’s the truth!
On October 20th, the state of California released its reopening guidelines.Â
Disneyland at Christmas
Although Disneyland has not released a reopening date yet, we can’t help but wonder what the west coast parks will look like when they do reopen. Based on the guidelines, this is what we expect Disneyland’s reopening to look like for guests!
Happy Holidays!! Although parades and character meet-and-greets have been suspended for the time being at Disney World, we have absolutely LOVED seeing Mickey, Minnie, and tons of our friends in the character cavalcades at all 4 parks!
Mickey & Friends Motorcade at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
During Halloween, we got some specially themed cavalcades that had us saying “boo to you!” But, now we’ve moved on to “the most wonderful time of the year” and one new JOLLY motorcade has arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Grab your snoap machine and join us as we celebrate the season!
The holidays are pretty different in Disney World this year, but one thing hasn’t changed all that much. It’s still one of the most crowded times!
Holiday Crowds
Yes, that is a picture from today in Magic Kingdom as folks crowd around in the Frontierland bottleneck to watch a (granted very cool) Christmas Cavalcade. Capacities are limited this year to 25%, but that hasn’t stopped crowding at all times, even to the point of making social distancing an issue.Â
Disney World officially kicks off the 2020 holiday season today — November 6th — and we have been looking forward to it since Disney’s reopening!
Magic Kingdom During the Holidays
We’ve already started getting into the holiday spirit with new merchandise and eats, but now the Magic Kingdom Character Cavalcades have gotten a holly jolly makeover! Trust us when you say you will WANT to see these!
Just a friendly reminder…
Frozen Ever After
Frozen Ever After in EPCOT is now closed for refurbishment. We first mentioned the closure when it was announced on the Walt Disney World website last month, and time sure flies… because the brief closure is already upon us! [Read more…]
Halloween is always a fun time to visit Magic Kingdom in Disney World!

And we had another fun day of shopping, eating (of course!), and enjoying a spooky Rainy Day Cavalcade! And we just had to bring you along!
