food IS a theme park
We don’t know about you, but we’ve really been enjoying the holidays at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We popped into Disney Springs recently to see the latest food and merchandise, so here are all the updates!
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
We took a walk around the park and to find the latest food, construction, and merchandise updates. Here’s what we found!
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you’re about to get a little more time to enjoy the holidays in the parks.
Magic Kingdom
Disney World has already extended hours for its parks for some dates in November, but we just noticed that Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom are getting an extra hour on select weekends in November AND December.
We love enjoying all the flavors of the holiday season!
Chocolate Peppermint Creme Brulee
And we’ve eaten so many amazing holiday snacks lately, including a poinsettia cake, the super-chocolatey Yuletide Wishes, a holiday yule log, and the Fa La La Funnel Cake. The holidays have definitely arrived in Disney World!
There’s a common theme in many of Disney’s movies, and that’s the concept of family.
Safety ©Disney
From the idea of “Ohana” in Lilo & Stitch to Elsa and Anna’s relationship in Frozen, Disney gets family. And although the upcoming Disney+ movie Safety is disguising itself as a sports movie, at its heart, it looks like it’s about brotherly love.
We’ve been pretty impressed with some of the cool interactive toys we’ve recently seen at Disney World.
Interactive Groot
In addition to some awesome talking Toy Story figures, we also LOVED the interactive Groot we came across! This cutie recognizes 20 spoken phrases and will even interact with emotional responses when you talk to him. REALLY!
Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort has hosted several exclusive shopping events recently, including one for the Dooney & Bourke Haunted Mansion bag collection!
Pop Up Disney Store in Downtown Disney
And now, Downtown Disney is about to host another exclusive event, this time featuring merchandise from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
‘Tis the season to eat all the festive eats and drink all the festive drinks, are we right?
Starbucks Holiday Cup
We’ve already tried a LOT of the holiday drinks at Starbucks throughout Disney Parks, but we saw one returning item that we just HAD to try out today at Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace!
Disney movie fans are very familiar with the beauty and magic that is Fantasia! After all, this is the film that gave us the iconic Sorcerer Mickey, the terrifying Chernobog, and the dancing hippopotamus!
Sorcerer Mickey at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
And this year, Fantasia celebrates its 80th anniversary! And Disney is celebrating with a lot of really cool merchandise, including an EPIC snowglobe, a Dooney & Bourke bag collection, and some awesome Funko Pops.
We don’t know about you, but we are about to get our EAT on with all the amazing holiday treats at Disney World this year!
Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays
We’ve already tried a LOT of great holiday snacks, including the Fa La La Funnel Cake, a holiday turkey burger, a poinsettia cake, and a chocolate peppermint crème brûlée. But now, we’re getting ready to EAT ALL THE THINGS at the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
