Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT

It’s the holiday season, so you know what that means…FOOOOOOD!
Mickey Gingerbread Cookie
Okay, we know the holidays actually means a LOT of different things, but it’s safe to say that food is a very important part of the season. And, there are a lot of fun foods to check out at Disney World! From turkey to gingerbread, there’s a little something for everyone. But, if you can’t make it to Disney World for the holidays, no worries — you can bring the Disney to your home! We’ve gathered some of our favorite Disney cookie recipes for you to make this holiday season, so let’s take a look!
Genie+ was introduced in Disney World over a year ago, and since then, we’ve learned a LOT about the system that replaced FastPass in the parks.
Disney Genie
Genie+ is a paid service that allows you to make reservations for the Lightning Lanes of various rides around the parks. The Lightning Lanes work how the FastPass lanes used to, letting you skip the standby line and majorly cutting down on your wait times. When Genie+ was first introduced, it was $15 per day, per person, but Disney recently switched over to surge pricing, which means the price can vary depending on demand. The service reached its HIGHEST price to date a couple of days ago, and the cost remains high for Thanksgiving Day.
Calling all Disney Vacation Club members — we’ve got a big event for you!

DVC is known for a variety of perks, including exclusive merchandise, special discounts, and numerous member events throughout the year, including Moonlight Magic. But now, there’s a special holiday offering coming soon!
Let’s settle a classic debate: if you decorate your home for the holidays, do you start before or after Thanksgiving?
Hollywood Studios
No matter when you decide to deck the halls at home, we can all probably agree that getting new holiday and home decor is pretty exciting. And, it’s even more exciting when you get a great deal on it! If you’re looking for some new Disney holiday and home decor you’re in luck — but you’ll want to hurry!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year around Disney World.
Hollywood Studios
All the parks have been decked out with festive decorations, and throughout the resorts, you’ll find quite a few gingerbread displays that will knock your socks off. But, gingerbread displays aren’t the only decorations in the resorts that are wowing guests — the Christmas tree has finally arrived at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!
