food IS a theme park
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Holiday Cupcakes
That means that holiday flavors are ALL over the place, and we’re here for it! We’ve tried so many festive goodies around Disney World, and now we’re trying another one at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge!
Ready to head into the wilderness?
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Christmas Tree
We’re constantly making our way around the Disney World theme parks and resorts. Join us today for a virtual journey through Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what’s new!
Lots of Disney resorts are decorated for the holidays with wreaths and garland galore!
Wilderness Lodge Christmas decor
Luckily when there are holiday decorations, holiday treats aren’t far behind! Today we visited Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what special snacks they were offering for the holiday season.
It may only be November, but we are already stocking up on ALL the holiday merchandise and holiday snacks.
Holiday Merchandise
If you’re a big pin collector, we’ve spotted some cute holiday pins as well, but recently we spotted even more — and these are each themed to the different Disney World Resort hotels!
Disney World leaves very little room for Thanksgiving in the theme parks. The clock strikes midnight on October 31st and the parks are magically transformed into a winter wonderland.
New Fall Snacks from Gasparilla Island Grill
They do squeeze in a few treats to satisfy lovers of fall, turkey, and mashed potatoes. Some restaurants do full out Thanksgiving meals. Others serve up treats inspired by the flavors of autumn! We found a soft, glittery cupcake that reminded us there’s still time for fall goodies.
Disney World has been slowly but surely announcing hotel reopening dates.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Though most of the Disney World villas and hotels have reopened, there are some we’re still waiting on. In fact, there are some that are still closed until further notice! It’s time for a status update!
Please Note: This post has been updated to reflect additional reopening dates as announced by Disney.
We’re in holiday overload today! Not only is it Halloween week, but we also spotted Christmas goodies popping up, AND now Thanksgiving is jumping into the mix!
Whispering Canyon Cafe in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
It’s official! We have a Thanksgiving offering CONFIRMED in Disney World, so let’s put on our eating pants and set our sights on Disney’s Wilderness Lodge!
Listen. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the world is very different right now, mmm-kay? And eating INDOORS where it’s super PEOPLE-Y and there’s all that RECIRCULATED AIR may not be your favorite activity at the moment.
If you’re nodding your head right now (and, tbh, even if you’re not, because this place is worthwhile regardless of your current global pandemic status), settle in to hear about our recent favorite hangout in Disney World to eat OUTSIDE in the fresh, un-contaminated air!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a beautiful resort inspired by national parks and cabins in the Pacific Northwest. It’s here you’ll find rustic eats, a breathtaking lobby, and even a real (well, Disney-real) geyser! We recently stopped by to take in the grand architecture and share some bites at Geyser Point Bar and Grill. Take a walk in the woods with us as we rustle up some grub!
We’ve been roaming all over the Disney World Resort area to fill you in on what’s new!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Our journey recently took us to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Here are all the latest updates since our last visit!
Guests at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge have an extra treat to look forward to this Halloween season at the Resort!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
During our visit to the Lodge yesterday, we discovered the Wilderness Lodge Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt, simply perfect for the Spooky Season! If you’ve ever stayed at Wilderness Lodge, you may be familiar with the popular Hidden Mickey Hunt here (which, for future reference, offers a ton of year-round fun). The Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt is a similar concept… only instead of our pal, Mickey, you’ll be searching for pumpkins featuring those famous Disney Villains! [Read more…]
