food IS a theme park
Christmas is just TWO DAYS AWAY!
Refreshment Cart in Magic Kingdom
Disney World is getting ready for the holiday by bringing us a few more festive eats — and drinks! We stopped by the Refreshment Cart in the Castle Hub Area of Magic Kingdom and spotted a new drink that is absolutely getting us into the holiday spirit.
And the hats just keep comin’! That’s right! We’re back with one more Santa hat snack we just discovered at Disney World! There’s so many now, we’ve just about lost count!
Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel
Hat’s off to the newest Santa Hat dessert to hit the holiday food scene — the Chocolate Santa Mousse! We can’t wait to see what this HAT tastes like, after developing quite a fondness for Santa hats this week!
Disney World seems to be experiencing a strange food trend this week…
Epcot’s China Pavilion
First we saw the Santa hat-toting Cranberry Mickey Brownie followed swiftly by the Mickey’s Santa Cupcake — also suspiciously wearing, you guessed it — a Santa hat!
Now this new holiday snack (which we spotted in Epcot’s China Pavilion of all places!) has us pretty much certain there’s a delicious Christmas treat conspiracy happening right now in Disney World — and trust us, you gotta see what it is!
Disney World certainly knows how to get into the holiday spirit — extra emphasis on spirit!
Splitsville Luxury Lanes in Disney Springs
First, we had the Claus-mo, and then the Peppermint Margarita on the Christmas Tree Trail. Now it looks like a new festive drink has joined the holidays over at Disney Springs, and we are fully on board!
Here at DFB, we sometimes like to challenge ourselves with finding the perfect holiday snack!
Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Christmas Tree
The rules for today’s challenge are such: A. It must be Mickey-shaped, and B. It must be wearing a Santa hat. Believe it or not, our DFB pal @yellowbeadsandme found one that satisfies both — and also our tastebuds! Follow us over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge to see what it is!
Standing in the Grand Floridian’s gorgeous lobby during the holidays is like being inside a Christmas dreamworld!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Christmas Tree
But this beautiful holiday dream comes with some delicious real-life snacks! From the treats you can find at the Gingerbread House to the holiday options at Gasparilla, there’s so much to choose from. Check out our review of the Peppermint White Chocolate Eclair we just tried!
There’s been some SERIOUSLY adorable holiday treats in Disney World this year!
Vivoli il Gelato
And now, ANOTHER ONE that’s just made the nice list — as in really NICE lookin’!
It’s very rarely a holiday treat comes along that inspires us to decorate our houses!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Christmas Decorations
But when we spotted this new Holiday Donut at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge today, we knew we had to give it a try!
It’s Christmastime at Disney’s Polynesian Resort!
Polynesian Resort
And this Disney World oasis is celebrating the holidays with special tropical-themed decorations, red Nutcracker Tiki Mugs, a TALL Christmas Tree Cupcake— and now, this special seasonal treat!
This has to be one of the tallest cupcakes we’ve seen in Disney World.
Polynesian Resort
So, yes, there are a lot of really awesome Christmas trees around Disney World right now (check out the Christmas Tree Trail in Disney Springs to see a whole bunch of them!), but there are also some Christmas tree cupcakes! We just spotted a cute little tree cupcake in Animal Kingdom. Maybe the real trees inspired the pastry chefs? If so, then chefs at Polynesian Resort must have been inspired by a pretty tall tree because the new Christmas Tree Cupcake is sky high!
