Happy Holidays from Disneyland Resort where we’re ringing in the season at Disney’s Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure! From November 9, 2018 through January 6, 2019, the season will be celebrated with festive entertainment, decorations, and FOOD!
Festival of Holidays!
Festival of Holidays recognizes the traditions of Christmas, Navidad, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings Day. And a highlight for us is the Festive Foods Marketplace which presents cuisine through holiday dishes at twelve Marketplace Food Booths (plus some Treats for Santa!). American holiday traditional and globally-inspired holiday menus make up the additional offerings at Disney California Adventure, and we were on the scene of today’s soft opening to try them ALL!!
Let’s dig in to some of our favorite bites and sips!
We’ll be the first to admit we love the new tater tot based menu at Friar’s Nook in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, but as much as we enjoy the tots, we were missing this location’s Mac and Cheese — and many of you told us you missed it too!
We have good — no, make that GREAT — news for you! Mac and Cheese dishes are back at Friar’s Nook — and with a tater tot twist.

We couldn’t stop ourselves, before we knew it we had these new Mac and Cheese items in our hands!
Along with the debut of a lot of Christmas and Holiday themed food and drinks around the parks, we are also seeing the debut of some new “treats with character”! While we were in the Magic Kingdom for the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (can’t wait!), we stopped at The Lunching Pad to try out the new Space Ranger Slushy.
Space Ranger Slushy
This Buzz-worthy 😀 layered slushy comes with a rock candy coated straw and is made up of layers of purple grape and green apple slushy.
The Holiday Season has OFFICIALLY begun in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom with the very first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of 2018! This extra-ticket event will run on select nights (you can find the dates here) in the Magic Kingdom from now through December 21, 2018, and we are here LIVE to bring you all the festive fun!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Mickey’s guests will enjoy special entertainment like the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Holiday Wishes Fireworks, meet-and-greet with characters in their holiday finery, complimentary cookies and drinks throughout the evening, and more!
Tonight’s very first Party is sold out…

But that’s okay, because we’re bringing YOU along for all the very merry fun!! So, let’s start this holiday shindig, shall we? [Read more…]
What could be better than a skeleton key? Why, a Skellington key, of course! (Thank you. We’re here all week.) If you’re a fan of Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland, you’re going to want to get your hands on this cute Jack Skellington souvenir…if it’s not sold out that is.

The front of the key features The Pumpkin King’s adorable face, and the back commemorates The Nightmare Before Christmas and Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland.
There’s no shortage of great new eats coming to Disneyland Resort for the holiday season, and but if you want to get your paws on something new today, you’ll want to bumble your way over to Hungry Bear Restaurant! The official DisneylandToday Twitter page reveals that this charming quick service spot has a brand new menu!

Hollywood Studios is a busy park these days!
In addition to the Skyliner coming in 2019, there also is work on the Chinese Theater’s new ride and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge both coming in 2019. PLUS Christmas has arrived — we’ve got Santa Alien Popcorn Buckets, a decorated Toy Story Land, and so much more! Plus Plus (haha!), the Flurry of Fun holiday events start this week! Check out everything we found!
Share Your Ears Wall at Hollywood Studios
There’s a #ShareYourEars wall in Hollywood Studios. Snap your picture and post it with the #ShareYourEars hashtag and Disney will donate to Make a Wish Foundation. You’ll find this wall in Animation Courtyard on the way to Toy Story Land. There’s also a #ShareYourEars wall in Magic Kingdom by the Purple Wall. We anticipate seeing walls in Animal Kingdom and Epcot as well.
With the debut of Toy Story Land earlier this year and the opening of Star Wars land scheduled for late 2019, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been in a constant state of evolution. This week, the construction walls in front of the Chinese Theater came down, a new car entrance is scheduled to open, the park is getting ready for the holidays, and we spotted even more changes in the shops on Hollywood Boulevard!
Adrian and Edith’s
Adrian and Edith’s Head to Toe, the shop that was once stocked with ear hats, headbands, and an embroidery booth, has reopened after a refurbishment! Instead of hats and headbands, though, it’s now home to snacks and other merchandise. Maybe a replacement for Sweet Spells…?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
