food IS a theme park
Disney has released a LOT of holiday merchandise recently.
Christmas Ears
Although we haven’t reached Halloween yet, we are looking forward to strolling down Main Street with a warm peppermint coffee and holiday Minnie ears on our heads. And now, we’ve found just the ears for the occasion! (Drum roll, please.)
It’s officially October which means that Halloween treats are ALL over Disney World!
Seasonal Cupcake at Le Petit Cafe
It was recently announced that some Nightmare Before Christmas goodies would be coming to Disney World and of course, we had to go out and try them! We’ve already shared reviews for the Sally Stitched Up Heart-Shaped Whoopie Pie and the Zero Bone Eclair. But now, it’s time to talk cake pops!!!
We and Halloween treats are simply meant to be!

In fact, we recently heard about even MORE Halloween treats coming to the Disney World Resort hotels, and so you know that we had to check them out for ourselves!!
Things may come and go in Disney World as the re-opening of the parks is an evolving situation. While some attractions that we may love have returned, others are taking a hiatus or closing altogether.
Recently, live entertainment hasn’t been back in the parks in the capacity that we’ve been used to in the past. Parades have been switched out for Character Cavalcades, fireworks are just starting to be tested again after being suspended, and character meet-and-greets are currently on a break (even though there are still a few modified character dining options in the parks and resorts).
Sooo… do you remember last month when a new dining feature made its debut on the My Disney Experience app for Walt Disney World guests?
Inside the Grand Floridian Cafe
The new Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist feature allows guests to view Table Service restaurants that have available seating for walk-up guests with a tap on their phone. You can check out how the whole process works here. But today, we just wanted to pop in and let you know of a newly reopened restaurant that’s now offering the Walk-up Waitlist option. [Read more…]
We all have our own favorite forms of Disney Transportation that are a must-do during our trip to Disney World. But, Disney also has such a beautiful atmosphere filled with trees, lagoons, and flowers that we LOVE taking the time to walk around the property.
Grand Floridian Resort
And we’re getting closer and closer to being able to combine a fun ramble around the property with transporting ourselves to Magic Kingdom via the Grand Floridian Walkway! The new pathway will allow guests to walk straight from the Grand Floridian to the Magic Kingdom’s entrance on a special direct path.
We’ve seen signs that several bars in Disney World could be close to reopening!
Cape Gobbler
Even though all of the Disney World parks and select Resort hotels have now reopened, there are still some restaurants and bars across property that remain temporarily closed. And while several locations including Cinderella’s Royal Table and Hollywood & Vine have announced reopening dates for later this month, we also noticed some signs of reopening at a few of Disney World’s bars!
Disney World is a magical place to go on a vacay!
Enchanted Rose
But have you ever explored the spell-binding lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa themed after Disney’s Beauty and the Beast? It’s called Enchanted Rose, and the space itself is very enchanting!
There have been a lot of eyes on Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort lately!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
The NBA will soon resume its 2019-2020 season in Disney World, and many NBA players are staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. We even caught a glimpse of their Disney bubble barbershop that was sticking up over the big blue privacy wall.
Remember that Disney bubble NBA-branded barbershop we told you about?
NBA Barbershop Beyond the Big Blue Wall
Well, it’s already open for its NBA player clients! Check out who’s been getting a trim at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa’s newest players-only retreat here!
