We can’t believe we’re saying this, but Christmas is just around the corner! This year, prices feel higher than ever, and it can be daunting to shop while trying to stay on budget.

Sure, we love all the decorations, merchandise, and food we get to experience around Disney World during the holidays, but if you can’t make it to the parks, you can still celebrate!

Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
So, just imagine how excited I was when it was announced that Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs would be opening on Disney World’s BoardWalk (pretty darn excited). Now that Blue Ribbon has been around Disney World for a bit, our reporters have gotten the chance to experience a ton of wacky and unique creations — from pickle corn dogs to deep-fried Hawaiian rolls. But, whoever came up with this new creation deserves to go straight to jail.
As of May 7th, 2025, anyone flying in the United States is required to provide a REAL ID as part of the check-in process before boarding their flight, if not using a passport. REAL IDs are state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards that meet the federal REAL ID security standards.
