food IS a theme park
It’s been an interesting week at Disney World, to say the least.
The crowd in Hollywood Studios before Tropical Storm Nicole
With Tropical Storm Nicole on the way, we saw the Orlando International Airport close, and the Disney parks and Disney Springs soon followed suit. Disney World did reopen today, so let’s take a look at what things look like there now.
Our favorite Christmas carol is playing: “All I Want For Christmas is Disney Food” (okay, we totally made that up).
Holiday decorations at Hollywood Studios
We are SO in the holiday spirit, though. We’ve been admiring the gorgeous holiday decorations in the parks, we’ve been to the GIANT gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian, AND we’re trying out a TON of new holiday snacks. Speaking of which, there’s a Santa Mickey Cupcake we can’t WAIT to bite into, so come along with us as we try it out!
Cue Mariah Carey because it is officially the holidays in Disney World!
Holidays in Disney World
The decorations are up, the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has already happened, and the holiday snacks are arriving in full force. We’re busy trying them all, but the one we’re telling you about now? Well, it’s as pretty as a holiday postcard (and we almost feel guilty eating it — ALMOST).
Well, the holiday season has officially arrived in Disney World, and that includes Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
Holiday merchandise is HERE and we’ve already got details about how to meet Santa there! At the moment, though, Disney Springs is closing due to Tropical Storm Nicole, but before that, we visited to see what was new.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is almost here!
Swan & Dolphin Hotel
This fun festival will be returning to the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort on November 11th through 12th. We were invited to a media preview of the event, so now we’re coming to you with some tips to help you navigate the Food and Wine Classic like a pro!
Happy holidays from the West Coast — yes, the holidays have arrived in Disneyland.
Holiday Ears and a Snowy Castle
The snow is on the castle, we just learned about an EPIC musical holiday bucket arriving soon, and the food booths are out for the Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays. So while we’re gearing up for a fantastic holiday season in the parks, let’s see what else is new here!
This weekend brought a HUGE runDisney event, the Wine and Dine Half Marathon, to Disney World!

Hundreds of runners got on their marks, got set, and WENT running through Disney World in hopes of getting a cool medal, fun merchandise, and even some discounts on water park tickets and food! But how did that affect crowds in the parks? Let’s find out!
Disney World was meant to change and grow, so that means that there are constant construction projects going on.
Polynesian Village Resort
Over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, a lot has been going on: Kona Cafe got a makeover, while there’s still construction happening on the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas that are being built there. So let’s take a look at the latest updates!
Now that we’re officially into the holiday season in Disney World, we’re starting to see a few menu changes.
Peppermint Mocha is BACK
Last month, we had hundreds of price increases, but this month is more about new seasonal offerings (hello, winter Starbucks coffees!), as well as new holiday snacks! We’re also gearing up for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, where we’ll get even MORE new food. But as for restaurant menus, let’s look at the changes we’re seeing this week.
