It’s time to celebrate the holidays in EPCOT!!
Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT
Today is the first day of the 2022 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, where we can once again check out all the food at the Holiday Kitchens and eat our way through the Cookie Stroll. If you can’t make it to EPCOT right now, don’t worry! You can come along with us as we report LIVE from the festival! Just make sure you keep checking back ALL day as we will be updating this post with every festival detail.
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!
It’s almost Thanksgiving — Can you believe it?!
Happy Thanksgiving
The year is flying by, and even though there are holiday decorations up and a Christmas party is happening in Disney World, Turkey Day has still yet to come. Thanksgiving usually brings out a LOT of people to the theme parks for the holiday, and we’re already starting to see that happening, because the crowds in Disney World this week are BIG!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is BACK in full force and we’re lovin’ every minute of it!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
This festive holiday event features special eats and drinks, entertainment, characters, and more. We were at the very first night of the party and brought you along with us for it, too! If you wanted to attend this year’s party, we hope you’ve already bought your tickets as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is completely SOLD OUT!
Happy holidays, everyone! If you’re gearing up for the season, you’re probably already thinking about some of the shopping you might need to do for your friends and family.
Happy Holidays from Minnie and Mickey!
It’s probably best to get that shopping done as soon as you can, but it can be hard when you’re not sure what to get someone. If you have Disney fans in your life, it might even be even more difficult if they’re the type of fan that already has a TON of Disney stuff. So, we compiled a list of quirky Disney items that we bet even some of the biggest fans don’t even have!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
