food IS a theme park
The first signs of Christmas are officially appearing in Disney World!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We recently spotted the iconic gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian being constructed, which is a good sign that Disney World is getting ready to haul out the holiday decor! But when we headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to try out the brand new Lightning Lane Premier Pass, we spotted some of our all-time favorite winter decorations.
The holiday season in Disney World means new merchandise, special events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and special ride overlays. But one of our favorite things about this season is seeing all of the beautiful decorations at the parks and hotels!
Holiday decor
The iconic Christmas tree is up over at Magic Kingdom, the giant gingerbread house is being decorated at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and we’ve even spotted snowflakes in EPCOT. A few decorations came to Disney’s Hollywood Studios earlier, but now even MORE are up in this park. Come with us to check them out! [Read more…]
The holidays are already in full swing in Disney World, with decorations, merchandise, and ride overlays in the parks. If you’re visiting for the holiday season, don’t forget to check out the Disney World HOTELS as well — some of the coolest decorations and most delicious snacks can be found there!
Christmas Tree at the Grand Floridian
We’ve been closely watching the construction of the GIANT gingerbread house that goes up every year in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and now we have an exciting update to share! (Here’s a hint: it involves FREE treats!) [Read more…]
Okay, EPCOT, we see you. We may still miss the Cinderella Castle dream lights over in the Magic Kingdom, but Spaceship Earth is saving the day! Now that the holiday season has FULLY arrived in Disney World, let’s talk about the park some serious holiday spirit: EPCOT!
Now THIS is gorgeous
Between the Festival of the Holidays, the fan-favorite Candlelight Processional, the holiday scavenger hunt featuring Olaf, AND the holiday overlays on two attractions, there is a lot to see and do this winter in EPCOT! But, there’s one ride in particular that you HAVE to see at night!
Holiday decorations are going up in the Disney World theme parks, gift shops, and hotels.
Holiday Decor at Animal Kingdom Lodge
So far, there have been awesome decorations at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort (home of the giant gingerbread house), Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and more. Now we’re heading into another Disney World hotel to check out the decor that just went up! Let’s go see how these compare with the decorations at other hotels nearby. [Read more…]
Sing along with us! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
