food IS a theme park
Happy holidays, DFB friends! While we’ve been taking you around us to see what Disney World looks like for Christmas, we’ve also given you a peek at the crowds we’ve seen recently.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Currently, Disney World is keeping its capacity at 35%, Disney Park. With this capacity limit, we have seen park passes fill up and be restocked.
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!
Now that winter is right around the corner, our favorite activity is basically cuddling up in our favorite blanket, laying on the couch with a hot cup of cocoa, and watching ALL THE DISNEY+.

We’ve really been enjoying Baby Yoda and the second season of The Mandalorian, as well as all the interesting animals on Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And we LOVED The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special! And there’s even more amazing stuff to watch next month in December! [Read more…]
There are SO many things to watch on Disney+ but there a bunch of new movies and shows on the way!

Just today, we shared a trailer for the new Mickey Mouse animated short series and a look at the Black Beauty movie coming soon, but now we’ve got MORE Disney+ news about an all new, original Christmas comedy!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Disney World…
Hollywood Studios Christmas
…which happens to be one of the busiest seasons of the year! As a quick update, Disney implemented a new Park Pass reservation system that monitors capacity levels in the theme parks. Guests must make a reservation prior to entering the parks and passes are subject to availability. Holidays and weekends tend to fill up the quickest and December has been filling up fast! This is especially true for reservations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day. Now, more reservations have filled up for Christmas Day and News Years Eve!
If you’re planning on visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios in December and have not yet made a park pass reservation, you may be out of luck.
Galaxy’s Edge
As you may know, Disney World started the park pass reservation system when it reopened to keep its parks at limited capacity. So a park pass, in addition to a valid ticket, is now required to enter any given park.
It seems like Disney World is getting a lot busier on weekends. We expected it on holiday weekends like Labor Day for example, but it looks like that’s extended into the rest of the year, too.
Hollywood Studios
Since the theme parks reopened, Annual Passholders (and other guests) have had to snag a Disney Park Pass reservations before entering the park. Reservations, especially for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been filling up FAST. Thus meaning APs are having to book weeks, and sometimes months in advance if they’re looking to visit Hollywood Studios.
Disney World has now released information about the park hours through early December!
Magic Kingdom
Earlier this month, Disney World updated the park hours calendar to show that the hours at Magic Kingdom will be extended to 9AM-7PM beginning on November 6th and hours at EPCOT will shift to 12PM-8PM beginning November 27th. However, since the hours were only listed through November 28th, we weren’t sure what the park hours would look like moving into December.
It seems like there’s always something special happening at Disney World!
Mickey Mouse
But even though some three-day weekends and holidays tend to bring heavier crowds to Disney World, you really need to know about these more unique events if you’re trying to avoid lots of people!
While most of us are just regular people who like to enjoy a nice time at Disney World to relax and unwind, there is another group of super-human athletes that come to Disney to COMPETE!
It’s Mickey!
We’re talking about football players and cheer squads (along with their entourages!) which can sometimes flood Disney World Resort with THOUSANDS of peppy peeps!
