food IS a theme park
It’s finally November, which in Disney World, means the start of the holiday season!
The holidays are here!
After Halloween on October 31st, Cast Members worked overnight to transform Magic Kingdom into a Christmas-y wonderland, complete with a gigantic tree, wreaths down Main Street, U.S.A., and so much more. But, it seems that not every spot in Disney World got the holiday memo…because we’re living in a really weird Twilight Zone version of the parks right now!
Hi, DFB friends! It’s been quite a week in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
This week we got a refurbishment update, a surprising character experience, new Star Wars merchandise, and more! Let’s get into it.
Halloween still hasn’t come and gone yet, but we’re starting to see signs of Christmas and the holiday season in Disney World!
The holidays are coming soon!
We got the full list of holiday treats to check out the other day, and we’re already starting to see some decorations show up around the parks. We spotted the tinsel stars on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios, and now some distinct decor is popping up in Animal Kingdom as well!
Easter is just around the corner, and we’re already HOPPING with excitement! Not only for tasty pastel-colored treats, but to feast our eyes on more Easter decor in Disney World!Â
Easter Cake
Disney’s resorts LOVE to go hard for holidays. Whether it’s an intricate gingerbread display or a sky-scraping Christmas tree, hotel lobbies are some of the BEST spots for holiday displays! This spring we’ve been busy marveling at gorgeous displays of edible art, and now there’s even MORE Easter eye candy courtesy of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa.
Just last week, we shared that Santa Claus would be coming to Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort as part of the new Santa’s Village experience. And now, the resort has started decorating to prepare for the festivities!
Disney’s Dolphin Resort
We’ve seen holiday decorations all around Walt Disney World, including several of the resorts and all four of the theme parks, but we still get excited when we see MORE Christmas trees! Walking around Disney and seeing everything decked out makes the holidays even more magical.
Slowly but surely, holiday decorations are POPping up all over Walt Disney World. We’ve seen them at the Contemporary Resort, the Boardwalk Inn, and Animal Kingdom Lodge, and so many more!
Contemporary Resort Christmas tree
And now, Pop Century Resort and Art of Animation are all decked out!
Nothing says “it’s the holidays in Walt Disney World” like a GIGANTIC Christmas tree!
Magic Kingdom Christmas tree
Disney LOVES to put big trees up all over the place! We’ve seen them at all four parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom), as well as several resorts (Grand FloridianandWilderness Lodge both have huge ones). Now, a very ICONIC giant Christmas tree has returned to Walt Disney World — the Contemporary Resort tree!
It’s been a busy week for the Walt Disney World Resorts, as many of them are getting decked out for the holidays!
Wilderness Lodge Christmas Tree
We’ve seen decorations pop up at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, to name just a few! Even though there aren’t any humongous gingerbread displays this year, Disney has still been very detailed and very over-the-top with their Christmas decor. (I mean, would ya look at the size of that Christmas tree?!) Now, yet another resort has received a festive makeover — Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!
We’re swinging by a beautiful Disney World resort to check out the latest!
Coronado Springs Lobby
We last checked in at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort when it reopened last month and now we’re back to see a few updates in food and construction!
There’s nothing quite like Disney World during the holiday season!
Grand Floridian Christmas decorations
Disney decorates the parks and resorts to make us feel warm, cozy, holly, and jolly — all at the same time! So far this holiday season, we’ve seen decor pop up at a number of resorts — Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and several others. Now we can add two more resorts to the list because the halls are decked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort!
