food IS a theme park
Christmas may be over, but NOW is the very best time to stock up on tons of Disney holiday merchandise!
Holiday Merchandise
Earlier, we saw select Disney holiday merchandise on sale for 30% off. But now, the discounts have been kicked up a notch. You can now get select Disney holiday merchandise on sale for a whopping 70% OFF!
Although Christmas has come and gone, we’re still finding new holiday treats to try at Disney World — although we’ve mostly already eaten them all!
Nomad Lounge
We’ve certainly had our share of holiday cupcakes and cookies, as well as indulged in quite a few holiday drinks! But what’s one more holiday snack, right?
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! We totally wish we could be spending the most magical time of the year on a Very Merrytime Cruise right now with our favorite Disney characters.
Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream
While we can’t hop on a Disney Cruise right this second, we’re getting excited about future adventures. We recently saw itineraries announced for Spring 2022, and we can’t wait to see more about one of the newest ships — the Disney Wish — which is still being built. Even though the construction of the latest ships has been delayed by the pandemic, during this morning’s Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Celebration, Disney shared a fun update about one upcoming addition to Disney Cruise Line. We now know what character statue will be featured in the main lobby of the Disney Wish!
Disney World is FULL of all kinds of incredible Christmas trees, beautiful holiday decorations, and (of course) delicious and festive snacks!
Swan Christmas decorations
While we’ve already checked out the elegant holiday decor over at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, today we found something at the Swan that combines holiday decorations and sweet treats — the resort’s incredible Santa Chocolate Display!
It’s a shame that the only time of the year we get to eat a lot of gingerbread snacks is during the holidays — we would totally eat them year-round!
P & J’s Southern Takeout
But the good news is that there are plenty of gingerbread treats available to Disney World guests this time of year, and we’ve tried a lot of them. Some of these festive holiday snacks include a gingerbread muffin, gingerbread churros, and gingerbread cookies.
It’s the holidays, and that means it’s peppermint season — and we’ve tasted SO MANY peppermint treats already this year!
Minnie Peppermint Cookie
From peppermint cupcakes to peppermint churros to a candy cane martini, we’ve had our share of minty treats!
We don’t know about you, but we LOVE gingerbread flavors this time of year — gingerbread is what the holidays taste like!
Gingerbread Muffins
And so far this year, we’ve already tried gingerbread cakes, gingerbread churros, gingerbread cookies, and a gingerbread cupcake. Bring on the gingerbread!
We’ve got some holiday ears, we’ve stocked up on holiday shirts and other merchandise, and we’ve started to make our way through ALL the holiday snacks…all we need now is some holiday music!
Mickey Snowflake Balloon Ears
Well, thankfully EPCOT has us covered! When we stopped by recently, we were happy to find that JOYFUL! is back and is performing some of our very favorite holiday songs! Ready to sing along? Check out some photos and videos of this fantastic group.
We’ve seen lots of holiday cavalcades, eaten tons of holiday snacks, and started collecting all kinds of adorable holiday merchandise!
Santa Cavalcade at Animal Kingdom
Some of the things we’ve seen released for the holidays this year in Disney World are brand new, but others are returning favorites — like the adorable snowman sipper we found today!
Since Disney World has reopened, we’ve seen a lot of classic Disney experiences get a creative new approach.
Character Boats in Animal Kingdom
For example, character meet-and-greets have looked a bit different to comply with physical distancing. Luckily, Disney has kept the magic alive by introducing distanced character experiences and so far we’ve seen several of our favorite characters like Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, and even Anna and Elsa!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
