food IS a theme park
Hello DFB friends! We’re back with another what’s new in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We strolled around the shopping and dining district to see the latest updates in food, construction, and merchandise, so let’s go!
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Disney World is about to get a lot busier with the holidays, especially now that the parks are decorated, and the holiday snacks and entertainment have appeared!
Holidays at the Magic Kingdom 2020
That’s why we haven’t been TOO surprised seeing park pass availability for the month of December sell out, especially for Christmas and New Year’s Eve!
We’re just a couple days away from Thanksgiving which means the holidays are in full swing!
Holiday Decorations
While we’ve seen festive decor, holiday merchandise, and jolly entertainment all over Disney World, we may have found one of the best holiday clothing collections yet. And it features Mickey Mouse himself!
EPCOT is known to host some incredible (and super delicious) festivals!
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays sign
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival may have ended on November 22nd, but we’re already getting excited for the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which will be starting up in just a few days! And, it looks like Disney is really getting ready for the holidays to take over, as we just spotted some Festival of the Holidays booths up in EPCOT!
Walt Disney World usually receives much bigger crowds during the holiday season!
Tomorrowland Crowds
Every year, guests flock to the parks to experience the holiday offerings and take advantage of their vacation time off. Thanksgiving week, Christmas week, and New Year’s Eve is notoriously crowded with out-of-towners. The trend seems to be the same this year, despite Disney World reducing capacity limits since the closure in March. We’re in the parks today taking note of the crowds and wait times to better prepare you for your holiday trip to Disney World in 2020.
Oh, what fun it is to be in Disney World right now! While the parks have received a magical makeover, the Disney Resorts are also joining in the festivities with their own treats and decorations for guests to enjoy.
Trattoria Al Forno
And, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas has gone all out with gorgeous garlands and trees, as well as the HUGE Holiday Macaroon! Now, the BoardWalk is mixing up something sweet and boozy to celebrate Christmastime with a brand new drink over at the Trattoria al Forno!
Here at DFB, we’re all for the holidays.
Christmas on Main Street
That’s why we visited the Jolly Creek Holiday Festival in Kissimmee, just south of Disney World! This holiday event offers festive snacks, crafts, live music, a Santa meet-and-greet, and some gators!
We’ve been really enjoying the Christmas season so much already, with beautiful decorations, cool seasonal merchandise, yummy holiday snacks, and of course, CHRISTMAS MOVIES!
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure
And that includes watching Frozen, although there seems to be some debate out there. Does this flick count as a Christmas movie or not!
Lots of Disney resorts are decorated for the holidays with wreaths and garland galore!
Wilderness Lodge Christmas decor
Luckily when there are holiday decorations, holiday treats aren’t far behind! Today we visited Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what special snacks they were offering for the holiday season.
Heading to Disney World next month? Now you have more flexibility in your plans!
Spaceship Earth
Disney Park Pass reservations for December have been filling for some time. Recently, we saw added availability in all four parks for the first few weeks of the month and now MORE of December has become available.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
