food IS a theme park
The Christmas season is coming up in Disney World and that means it’s about time for the BUSIEST season of the year.
Magic Kingdom
Of course, the holidays won’t look quite as busy this year with the limited capacity and demand due to the global health crisis, but we’ve still seen Disney Park Pass theme park reservations fill up pretty quickly for December. If you missed out on your reservation, we’ve got good news today!
We’ll be the first to admit that the Disney parks during Christmastime are pretty magical!
Castle Projections
The decorations, the lights, the Christmas-y music — it all just really sets the mood for a fantastic holiday season! This last week we saw holiday decor arrive all around Walt Disney World and festivities begin, and we couldn’t be more excited! Today, we’re sharing our photos from a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom at night to check out what their decor looks like after dark.
You know, it was just a few days ago when we were sippin’ on a seasonal drink at Isle of Java in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Peppermint Hot Cocoa
On our last visit, the Limited Offerings included four drinks: three flavored Hot Cocoas (we tried the peppermint!) and a Gingerbread Latte. But now? The list has grown to include FIVE Limited Offerings… and we are happy to tell you that the addition to the list is Irish Coffee! [Read more…]
We’ve seen lots of holiday cavalcades, eaten tons of holiday snacks, and started collecting all kinds of adorable holiday merchandise!
Santa Cavalcade at Animal Kingdom
Some of the things we’ve seen released for the holidays this year in Disney World are brand new, but others are returning favorites — like the adorable snowman sipper we found today!
We’ve seen SO MANY new holiday bags popping up all over Disney World!
Loungefly Peppermint mini backpack
Bags, purses, and backpacks are a hugely popular souvenir and accessory, because everyone needs a place to store their park essentials! This holiday season, Disney has definitely been capitalizing on that — we’ve seen name brand collections, backpacks, and tote bags so far. Now, there’s a new Dooney & Bourke holiday collection available both in the parks and online!
We have seriously been enjoying the beginning of the holiday season at Disney World. There is really only one word we can use to describe it…MAGICAL.
Holiday Mickey and Minnie Cavalcade
And sure, that’s a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to Disney World, but after you see the photos and videos we took today, we think you’ll agree that it’s the truth!
Recently, we’ve seen refillable holiday mugs make their way to the Disney resorts.
Refillable Holiday Mug
Not only are we seeing holiday merchandise all over, but the parks are now FULL of festive fun! Today, we found a returning reusable holiday mug that features a holiday hit from Disney’s Animal Kingdom last year!
Hello, DFB friends!
Expedition Everest
We’ve been enjoying the start of the holidays at Disney World, and we LOVED seeing all the decorations at Animal Kingdom recently! But what else is new in this wild park?
We love stopping by the newly-reopened Fossil Fun Games over at DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
DinoLand U.S.A.
We’ve slowly started to see more carnival game booths opening up over the past few months, and we even noticed there’s now a new place where you can buy game tickets! Today, though, we noticed another booth had reopened!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the most magical place on Earth and we’re having a BLAST spotting all of the holiday entertainment!
Animal Kingdom Entrance
Christmas looks pretty different this year in Disney World, but at least there are some good things to come of the situation. For one, we’re spotting Christmas Character Cavalcades in all four parks — including Animal Kingdom!
