food IS a theme park
Happy holidays from Disneyland! Here on the West Coast, we’re gearing up for the holiday season in a big way.
Award Wieners
The parks are already looking like the holidays, we’re seeing SO MUCH holiday merchandise in the shops, and holiday snacks have officially arrived. Speaking of which, we’re trying out ANOTHER holiday treat in Disney California Adventure, so let’s get to it!
We’ve been trying all kinds of holiday treats around Disney World lately!
Animal Kingdom Lodge Lobby
We’ve tried a hidden holiday bar you can’t miss, a tempting snack you should actually SKIP, and a mocha fudge-filled cupcake, and we’re so excited to tell you we’ve found another delicious treat. This one’s over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
It’s time for the Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure, which means we’ve been eating our way around all the food booths!
Festival decor
We’ve already tried a chocolate bourbon tart, some curry mac ‘n cheese, and (one of our favorites) a chorizo queso fundido. Now, we’re ready to move on to the next eats. Come with us to Paradise Garden Grill to check out the festival offerings at this restaurant! [Read more…]
Put on those Christmas carols and start singing along because we’re taking you to Disneyland with us where the holidays are EVERYWHERE.
Terran Treats
Holiday merchandise is in the stores, there’s snow on the castle, and the Festival of the Holidays in Disney California Adventure is underway. There are also a ton of new holiday treats to try, and we’re bringing you along with us to try a new churro!
Festive decor? ✅ Ears themed to the season? ✅ A reindeer sipper cup?! ✅ Disneyland has it all…and now it has holiday SNACKS too!
Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays
Over at Disney California Adventure, there are plenty of holiday snacks to pick up thanks to the Festival of Holidays. But Disneyland hasn’t been left out of the fun! At this park, you can now find maple Mickey beignets, a funnel cake that seems confused(!), and more. Getting hungry yet? Well, you’ve been warned! We’re visiting one Disneyland snack spot now to try even MORE treats (and these will get your stomach rumbling).
Greetings from Disney Springs!
Christmas Tree in Disney Springs
We’re back in one of our favorite parts of Disney World taking in all the holiday decor, shopping, and snacks! Eating our way through all the new treats for the holidays is not something we take lightly — we do it all in the name of theme park snack science (okay, and for you, too!). And now, it’s time to check out another NEW treat over in Disney Springs!
If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest Disney news, take a seat — there’s a lot to get through!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is back!
This past week, Disney held its first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World since pre-pandemic times, LOTS of snacks arrived in the theme parks, Tropical Storm Nicole caused some park closures, and we got all kinds of other updates. So sit back, pull up a chair, and get ready for a breakdown of EVERY SINGLE update you need to know about Disney right now.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…everywhere you go…in Disneyland!
Snow-topped Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
The snow is on the castle, the decorations are out, the merchandise has appeared, and holiday snacks are ON THE MENU! Obviously, that last bit is our favorite thing — and we’re heading over to try some beignets in Disneyland RIGHT NOW. So let’s see how they are!
We have to admit, we LOVE when Disney World’s gingerbread displays go up, like the Grand Floridian gingerbread house that opened recently.
2022 Grand Floridian Gingerbread House
There are lots of gingerbread masterpieces around Disney World and best of all, you don’t need a ticket to check them out. You can stop by Disney’s Beach Club for a gingerbread carousel, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort displays a castle gingerbread! We recently saw the Contemporary display in progress, and now it’s officially completed — and you can also get some treats when you stop by!
We are firm believers that there are never enough holiday desserts.
The holidays are here!
With the holiday season in full swing at Disney World, there have been tons of holiday treats, snacks, and merchandise popping up around the parks! While Disney Springs might not be inside the theme parks, this spot is making sure it provides plenty of holiday treats too. Head with us to Disney Springs to check out two new Christmas treats we just found!
