food IS a theme park
Disneyland Resort has its share of holiday traditions that we always love seeing this time of year.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We love attending the Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays. We also love seeing the characters in their holiday outfits. We also love all the holiday treats! But one of the most special events during the holidays is the Candlelight Processional — and we were there for the first one of the year!
Happy Holidays from the West Coast! The snow is on the castle in Disneyland, so it is officially the holiday season (okay, the snow has been on there since BEFORE Halloween, though).
Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays
So while we’re buying up some holiday merchandise and sipping on hot cocoa, we’re also eating up ALL the holiday snacks. So we’re headed over to Disney California Adventure to try a new one!
The holidays are in full swing in Disney World, and there are ways to celebrate almost wherever you go.
Hollywood Studios
From Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, there are many reasons why the parks get crowded this time of the year. The best thing to do is to have a plan and pack your patience. So, if you’re going to be in Disney World next week, let’s take a look at the park hours and park pass availability so you can plan accordingly!
When you think of holidays, what flavors come to mind?
La Cava del Tequila
We’re pretty sure we’ve tried a lot of those flavors in Disney World, including gingerbread, peppermint, pumpkin, and more. But what about cinnamon? Cinnamon makes us feel all warm and cozy this time of the year, just like a new cocktail we just had in Disney World.
The holiday season means we are eating a LOT of holiday-themed snacks.
The Polite Pig
We’re talking snacks shaped like Christmas trees and snowmen, snacks with gingerbread flavors, and snacks full of peppermint. Speaking of which, if you love peppermint AND cookies, you have a NEW reason to visit Disney Springs!
We’re tasting our way through all the new holiday treats in Disney World!
All-Star Music
We’ve already been to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays to try out the food there, but now it’s time to check out the sweet treats at the hotels. And up next, we’re heading to Disney’s All-Star Music Resort!
Are you looking for something fun to do this holiday season?
Toy Story Tree in Disney Springs
There are plenty of activities at Disney World to check out, from Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to the Christmas Tree Stroll at Disney Springs to the gingerbread displays at the Deluxe Resorts. Now, you can add a special mixology class to that list!
Happy Holidays to all!
Disney Springs Christmas Tree
You can feel the holiday spirit in the air all over Disney World — through the decorations, at EPCOT’s International Festival of Holidays, and there are beautiful gingerbread displays at many Disney World hotels. If you’ve got little ones and you’ve been searching for something extra special to celebrate Christmas, Breakfast with Santa events have been added at TWO Disney Springs restaurants!
The holiday season means MANY things in Disney World.
Christmastime is HERE
There are lots of new snacks to try around the parks, or you can go to EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays and try the food booths! We’ve already got our Best of the Fest up to help guide your snack decisions. Did you know you can see some characters in their holiday attire as well? Be on the lookout, because we spotted Winnie the Pooh looking absolutely adorable!
We’ve seen a lot of great discounts and deals over the past few days and have been working hard to share them with you.
Let’s go shopping!
Cyber Monday is pretty much the last big blowout sale planned before Christmas, so it’s a good idea to hop on these deals before they sell out!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
