food IS a theme park
2021 is almost here!
Tree of Life
With EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, Park Hopping returning, and new attractions coming soon, we’re definitely getting excited to experience next year at Disney World! To help with your planning, we’ve been keeping an eye on the park hours for the early part of the year, and now Disney’s added another week of hours to the online calendar!
If you’ve been following along with our posts, you know that excellent holiday snacks aren’t just limited to the Disney Parks — there are tons of options in Disney Springs as well!
Mickey and Minnie Tree in Disney Springs
We’ve tried the Holiday Yule Log, the Chocolate Peppermint Crème Brûlée, the Jolly Holiday Float, the Gobbler Poutine, and so many more delicious treats so far! It seems that more festive snacks are arriving every single day, and today, we’re expecting another sweet treat to return to Sprinkles — the Christmas Cookie Cupcake!
What better way to add Disney to your style than through a little bling?!
Mickey Lights Earrings
Recently, we’ve seen some stunning Disney-themed jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, charms, and bracelets. There are plenty of great shops to check around Walt Disney World if you’re interested in some cute accessories, and now there’s an adorable new bracelet coming to Disney Springs!
When most people think about buying clothes at Disney World, they’ve got t-shirts on their mind.

However, Disney has also been known to create some stunning options for guests who like to dress a little fancier! Just recently, we’ve seen them release a gorgeous holiday dress, a dress based on Ratatouille, and a beautiful dress modeled after the Tower of Terror. Now we have another frock to add to the collection, and this one comes with a matching purse!
If you’re a fan of Star Wars TV shows, then you know that Ahsoka Tano has some of the coolest lightsabers out there!

First of all, she wields TWO lightsabers instead of just one (known as Jar’Kai in the Star Wars universe), and it’s not a skill that we often see utilized. On top of that, her lightsaber color changes multiple times as a character, going from blue to green to white. Disney’s definitely capitalized on this, selling both color-changing Ahsoka lightsabers, and the white versions! You can even get her lightsabers outside of the Disney parks, and today there are a limited number of sabers autographed by Ahsoka Tano herself!
Santa Claus is coming to town? Actually, he’s already here!
Santa in Hollywood Studios
We’ve seen Santa Claus already in Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom this holiday season. We were told that he would also be visiting Disney Springs, but we hadn’t seen him in person…until TODAY!
Even though the Florida temperatures are still hanging out in the 80s, we’ve seen lots of new wintery merchandise at Walt Disney World!
Orange Corduroy Ears
Sweatshirts, fuzzy spirit jerseys, and all kinds of cold-weather accessories are all over the shelves in Disney gift shops. Even if it’s not anywhere close to being cold outside, all this new merch is certainly getting us in the holiday spirit, and that’s certainly the case with Disney’s new buffalo plaid line! We can’t wait to pair this stuff with our new Buffalo Plaid Ears!
If you love caramel, cupcakes, and all things sweet, then have we got the treat for you!
Sprinkles Entrance
Sprinkles is known for its delicious, creative, and very Instagrammable cupcakes! They’re constantly surprising and impressing us with their over-the-top flavors, and today, they’re bringing back one of our favorites from last year — for a limited time!

The current situation has had an immense impact on people across the globe. And even though Disney is a major company, they haven’t been immune to the effects. All of the Disney parks are currently closed, Disney Cruise Line sailings are halted until at least April 28th, and many other arms of the Walt Disney Company face an uncertain future. With a huge section of their business impacted, Disney has some hard decisions to make about how to move forward.
