food IS a theme park
Did you know that there are a TON of holiday activities you can do in Disney World without needing a theme park ticket?
Christmas tree in Disney Springs
For example, you’ll find a TON of delicious holiday treats at Disney World hotels. You’ll also find some AMAZING gingerbread displays at some hotels, too. There’s also the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs that we’re happy to report is BACK this year — so come with us to look at some very cool Disney-themed trees.
Sometimes good things must come to an end. At Disney World, this is especially true.

Disney World offerings such as attractions close temporarily all the time, whether it be due to refurbishment or inclement weather. Sometimes things close for seasonal overlays. Change at the Disney Parks is inevitable. However, on occasion, restaurants, attractions, shops, and hotels don’t just close temporarily — they close permanently. [Read more…]
One of our favorite restaurants in Disney World is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs. Celebrity Chef Art Smith celebrates Southern and Floridian cuisine and “farm-to-fork” food at his restaurant, and we’d eat there every day of the week if we could.
Homecomin’
We’re always excited when new menu options show up at this spot. Now, Homecomin’ has announced a brand-new offering for the holiday season. All we can say is, we know what we’re doing for Thanksgiving this year! [Read more…]
We LOVE finding new sweet treats in Disney World.
Salt & Straw
We just heard of one that is coming soon and… our mouths are already watering. This dessert is nothing short of a monster (in the best way) and is a collaboration with someone that you may not have expected. [Read more…]
Here comes Santa Claus!!!
SANTA!
No, really! The holidays have arrived in Disney World. Holiday merchandise is EVERYWHERE. Holiday decorations are up in the parks, including the Christmas trees. The gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels are open. The only thing missing is that jolly old elf, Santa Claus. Well, you’ll soon be able to meet the big guy in Disney World — and you won’t even need a park ticket to do it.
Pin trading is a THING in Disney World, and if you know, you know.

However, pin trading changed after 2020 when Disney World reopened; instead of trading pins with Cast Members wearing lanyards, pin boards were set up instead. Well, many pin traders missed that personal touch with Cast Members, but we’ve got some good news: pin trading with lanyards is back in Disney Springs.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — and for a good reason!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
Disney just announced all the holiday eats and treats we can expect throughout Disney World parks and hotels, and we can’t wait to dig in! Let’s find out just what we’ll get to try this year.

Well, we’ve gone from Halloween to the holidays this week in Disney World — and we are here for it!
