food IS a theme park
The holidays have officially begun at Disneyland, and we are enjoying ALL OF IT.
Festival of Holidays is here!
We just attended the first Disney Merriest Nites After Hours party at Disneyland. We’ve also checked out Disney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays, taken a look at the holiday merchandise available in the park, and more. And if you find yourself in Disneyland during the holiday season and are looking to add a bit of sparkle and shine to your fun, we found just the thing!
It’s officially the holiday season in Disney World!
The Grand Floridian’s Christmas Tree just went up!
We went to the first Disney Very Merry After Hours this week, saw the iconic gingerbread house go up in the Grand Floridian, found new decorations in the parks, and tried more festive food. The other night, we saw Santa at Disney Very Merriest After Hours in Magic Kingdom, and today, we spotted him at a couple of the other parks!
Disneyland is the land of the churro, with lots of different flavors and a variety of dipping sauces to go with them.
Churro Cart at Disneyland
We’ve already tried a few churros on our holiday trip in Disneyland, including one piled high with toffee and another that we dipped in cookies. Now we’re headed to Tomorrowland, because there’s yet ANOTHER holiday churro waiting for us there.
Christmas trees have appeared, Disney World’s NEW holiday After Hours event has started, and holiday snacks are available to grab in the parks — the holidays truly have arrived in Disney World!
The Holidays Have Arrived!
We’ve already seen holiday decorations go up in the parks and a few hotels, but today we saw that 2 popular Disney World spots have received a holiday makeover!
Happy holidays and welcome to Disneyland’s Merriest Nites after-hours event! We’re covering everything from this ticketed event, from the treats to the entertainment and everything in between.
Merriest Nites
Now, let’s take a look at one of the exclusive treats you’ll find at Merriest Nites: the Spice & Nice Cookie Dip!
It’s the holiday season in Disney World!
Animal Kingdom Christmas Tree
We’ve seen decorations go up in all of the parks, the famous gingerbread house return to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours was this week. And today, we spotted an adorable part of the holidays make its return at Animal Kingdom!
We went to Disneyland’s first ever Merriest Nites last night, and we also visited the Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
So basically we’ve officially embraced the holiday spirit in both Disneyland parks, especially since there’s a LOT of delicious food available at both of these events. Between the holiday Marketplace booths at Festival of Holidays and the 20 specialty eats and treats at Merriest Nites…we’re feeling a little stuffed right about now. Let’s take a look at one of the most interesting snacks we tried at Merriest Nites!
Last night, Disneyland held its FIRST Merriest Nites holiday event! This ticketed event is full of delicious treats, fun entertainment, and lots of other exclusive yuletide festivities.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We made our way through quite a few of the EXCLUSIVE treats you can get there and will be sharing all of our thoughts soon. Right now, we’re tackling an item that could be a BIG hit for churro fans: the Loaded Toffee Churro!

We’re checking out the merchandise, the snacks, and the Merriest Nites event at Disneyland Park, but over at Disney California Adventure, it’s the Festival of Holidays once again! We’re at the first day of the fest (some booths opened a day early), ready to try all of the eats. Let’s go!
The Disney World parks aren’t the only ones getting in the festive mood right now.
Christmas Tree in EPCOT
We’ve seen a HUGE gingerbread house over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and a Little Mermaid-themed gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. Now we’re heading to another Disney hotel to see what kind of decorations they’ve got up!
