food IS a theme park
Buckle up, because we’ve got a LOT of Disney news to go over this week!
Fantasmic!
The holidays have arrived in Disney World, Fantasmic! has returned, and the buffet is back at a popular character dining spot. Learn about all of that and more below!
It’s okay, we all make mistakes at Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
There are so many things to keep track of when it comes to planning a Disney World vacation — booking a hotel, grabbing park pass reservations, using Genie+ — mistakes are bound to happen sometimes! That’s why we’re constantly sharing our best tips for how you can avoid the biggest mistakes in Disney World. But today we’re gonna talk about a mistake you might not even realize you’re making when it comes to rideshare in Disney World!
✨ It’s TIME ✨ — Fantasmic! is coming back to Disney World!
Fantasmic! is back!
Fantasmic! has been closed since the parks shut down in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve been watching construction from a bird’s eye view on the stage for a while now, and Disney teased its return a few times. As of November 3rd, the show is back in the parks, and we were invited to a media event to check out the show a day early — let’s see what has changed!
When it comes to Disney World, there is a LOT to plan.
Cinderella Castle
First you have to pick the dates, then buy tickets, book park pass reservations, plan out and book your dining reservations, and study up on Genie+ if you plan to use it. If you are trying to make dining or activity reservations in the near future, you’re going to want to know about this update.
Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We’ve been keeping up with the latest updates in the park and sharing them you, like the FIRST holiday decorations in the park! And guess what? We’re back with even more updates from the parks, so let’s get rolling!
It may not feel like it yet wherever you’re from, but the holiday season is in full swing!
Magic Kingdom’s Christmas Tree!
Disney World already started putting up decorations (including the enormous Christmas tree in Magic Kingdom), holiday ride overlays are back, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starts soon. There are a lot of fun holiday festivities to enjoy in the parks, but the hotels are the stars of the holiday season with gorgeous decorations and giant gingerbread displays! We went to check on the biggest gingerbread display of them all and it has made quite a bit of progress!
We JUST celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving is around the corner, but Disney is already preparing for Christmas!
Holiday decor
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning this year (tickets are on sale now and already selling out!), and we’ve been eager to learn more about this year’s party. Now we’ve got a list of all the treats coming to Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year!
Fall certainly isn’t over yet, and that means one thing: MORE Disney treats!
Magic Kingdom
We saw lots of new delicious treats for Halloween and made sure to try all of them out so you knew what was worth your money, and we’re gearing up to do the same thing for this upcoming season! Today we’re heading over to Beaches and Cream at Disney’s Beach Club Resort to try their new pumpkin treat.

And Disney World is celebrating with an adorable new treat. But there’s a bit of a catch. You won’t find it in a Disney park, instead, you’ll have to travel to a Disney World hotel to give it a try.
In case you missed it, November is Christmas — at least in Disney World it is!
Christmas has arrived at Disney World!
We JUST celebrated Halloween, but Disney said “goodbye” to the spooks and “hello” to the holiday cheer! Decorations arrived in Magic Kingdom overnight, the shops are full of holiday merchandise (including new ears and a Starbucks tumbler), and there are new treats to try. But now we’re headed to Disney’s Beach Club Resort to check up on one of the best things to see during the holidays in Disney World — the gingerbread displays!
