food IS a theme park
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
It just got a little more expensive to dine here.
It’s when we stuff our faces full of holiday treats, visit the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and buy a ton of Disney holiday merchandise. But while we’re having all this festive fun, we’re also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed.
Now that the holiday season has officially arrived at Disney World, we’ve been busy enjoying a lot of the holiday foods.

We ate our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, as well as tried out many other holiday snacks around the resort. But while we were eating our way around Disney World, we were also keeping a close eye on restaurant menus to see what’s changed.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is READY for the holidays!
Holiday decorations are up at the Polynesian!
We’ve already seen holiday decorations up at the hotel, a special holiday cupcake themed to Moana, and even an elf dome cake. Now, tiki mug collectors can ceelbrate the season with a festive collectible from Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. Here’s what you need to know if you want to get one of these beauties.
Holiday decorations, treats, merchandise, events, and more are popping up throughout Disney World!
Holiday decorations are up at the Polynesian!
We’ve already made our way through quite a few of the new offerings (and we’ve even got a convenient printable to help you navigate some of the holiday treats). Today our culinary adventures led us to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for a returning treat that’s ADORABLE when it comes to looks. But, how does it taste?
Disney World hotels aren’t your average hotels. These are magical places where magical experiences, meals, and memories occur! They’re also places where RIDICULOUS things can — sometimes — happen!Â

We’re not talking random cameos from Disney characters, either. No, we’re talking about the MOST ridiculous things to ever happen at Disney World hotels, so buckle up!
Hello, DFB Friends!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
We’ve had a busy weekend full of news coming out of Destination 23 — we’ve learned even MORE about the Star Wars Hotel, we finally confirmed that Festival of Fantasy and Fantasmic! will return to Disney World soon, and we got even more details about MagicBand+. In the meantime, we’ve been checking out the hotels at Disney World, to see what’s new.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Disney World!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We’ve been enjoying the holiday decorations at the parks (and FINALLY, EPCOT has decorations!), we love the cozy holiday decorations at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and we’re enjoying the decorations up at Disney Springs. And now, another Disney World property has been decked out with holiday cheer!
There is nothing quite like stepping onto Main Street, U.S.A., and getting that first glimpse of Cinderella Castle, but there’s also nothing like the iconic smells that we get all over Disney World.
We bet you can smell this photo.
We’re talking about that musty — but somehow pleasant — smell of Pirates of the Caribbean, or the smell of baked goods wafting from Main Street Confectionery, or the strong smell of pineapple at Aloha Isle. All these smells instantly create even more magic at the parks!
