How’s it going everyone? We made it through another week, so here’s your update on what’s new at the Disney Hotels!
The Grand Floridian is GRAND.
There’s lots to cover this week, so let’s get started!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
General Updates
This precious and alarmingly realistic Gingerbread Giraffe showed up for the holidays at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Animal Kingdom Lodge Ginger-affe!
Seriously, how cool is this?!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Food Updates
We tried this super tasty Macadamia Nut Banana Bread at Kona Island in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Crunch!
We were pleasantly surprised at how much bread we got for just $3.49, and we loved the cinnamon flavor that complimented the banana and macadamia nuts!
Banana Macadamia Nut Bread
This treat is only available before 11AM at Kona, and we’ve seen it appear seasonally, so get it while you can!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Food Updates
This super artsy and super yummy snack popped up at Contempo Cafe! It’s a Yule Log Cake, and we were impressed by the flavors AND looks of this treat!
Yule Log
The mint and chocolate flavors really popped in this cake, which is something we felt was lacking from last year! You can get this Yule Log for $5.49 now!

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Food Update
There’s ANOTHER sweet treat that popped up at the resorts this week, and it’s none other than this Chocolate Turtle Brownie that we found at P&J’s Southern Takeout!
The Turtle Brownie!
This brownie wasn’t overly sweet, which is impressive considering it’s covered with caramel, walnuts, and chocolate chips! However, it did spark a debate over whether or not brownies should be more fudge-like or cake-like!
Brownie!
If you like your brownies on the moist side, you can skip this one, but it’s a hefty brownie for $4.29.

Merchandise Update
The Chip and Dale ears that we’re obsessed with are restocked and aren’t as sparse as we saw before, so grab these while you can!
More Chip and Dale Ears!
These are some of the most unique holiday ears we’ve seen this year, and we’re stoked they have more!
You’d be NUTS not to love these ears
If you wanna weigh in on the debate on whether or not these ears are cute, you can now purchase them for $39.99!

Disney’s All Star Movies Resort
Construction Update
These walls went up in the lobby of All Star Movies, but they shouldn’t interfere with your check in too much!
But there’s still some work to be done
Earlier in the year, there was some construction on the side of the desks…
More desks opened up!
…but now this corner of All Star Movies is getting some love!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
Food Update
The Rum Rum Reindeer drink we tried last year is back at Pop!
Rum Rum Reindeer
If you’re looking for a festive cocktail at this resort, now’s your time to try it! We had mixed feelings on it, but if you missed last year, now’s your time to give it a shot!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Merchandise Update
Frozen soaps just popped up in Basin White! Like the movie Frozen, the soaps themselves are room temperature!
Frozen soaps at Basin!
These soaps are super cute, and even though there is a debate on whether Frozen is actually a holiday movie, these soaps still make for a great gift!
Do you wanna build a bath bomb?
Find them at Basin.
Over 37,000 Disney Fans Voted on If Frozen is a Christmas Movie. Here’s What They Decided!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Food Update
We tried this martini flight at Geyser Point Bar & Grill, and even started a trend!
Let’s go around the world by drinking martinis!
This flight took us around the world through martinis, and when people saw us drinking it, they started ordering it, too!
