food IS a theme park
It’s that weird time of year when we’re still celebrating Halloween, but the holiday season has already started to appear in Disney World.
EPCOT
So far, we’ve seen LOADS of new holiday merchandise in Disney World, but we’ve also seen holiday decorations in both Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now, EPCOT is getting in on the holiday decor action!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween! (Or at least, close to it, anyway!)
Halloween in Disney!
We’ve been exploring all the spooky season offerings around Disney World in the past few months. We visited Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, shopped all the seasonal merchandise, and even tried a bunch of new treats. Now it’s time to head to EPCOT and test out another one!
Disney Springs may have some of the best restaurants in the world! No, we’re not exaggerating — this dining and shopping center has restaurants from some of the world’s most renowned chefs.
Morimoto Asia
From Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin‘ to Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy to Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s Morimoto Asia, you know you’re going to get some good eating in Disney Springs. But now, you have a chance to get an exclusive dining experience that will only include 12 people per night!
Well, we’re about to say goodbye to Halloween and start saying hello to the holiday season!
They’re here!
We’ve already seen the first decorations appear in Disney World, snow is on the castle in Disneyland, holiday merchandise is hitting store shelves and going up online, and we’re ready to go to our first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! If you’re ready to start celebrating at home, though, we found three things you will NEED to do the holidays right — the Disney way!
We’re in that strange time of year in Disney World where it’s both Halloween and Christmas at the same time.
Hollywood Studios
We’re still eating Halloween snacks, but we’re also shopping for holiday merchandise. We’re still seeing everyone’s costumes for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but holiday decorations are now arriving in the parks. Now, holiday decorations are up in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
What’s your favorite thing to do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
If you’re a Star Wars fans, we bet you love living your best Star Wars life in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Or maybe Toy Story is your favorite Disney movie, and you love spending time in Toy Story Land. Perhaps the classic Hollywood vibe of Hollywood Studios is your jam. Whatever you love about Hollywood Studios, we’re going to keep you updated on everything that’s going on there.
There’s no shortage of Star Wars merchandise out there — and no, it’s not all Baby Yoda (although a lot of it is).
Star Wars merchandise
From Lightsaber Ears to cool creatures to Vera Bradley bags and accessories, new Star Wars merchandise comes out every day. But nothing is so cool as the character lightsaber hilts we’ve seen, and now two of those hilts are available online!
Hotel rewards points can be useful no matter where you travel, even if that travel is to Disney World.
Swan Reserve
At Disney World, you can use rewards points at some Disney Springs hotels, as well as the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin and Swan Reserve! But do you know how to get the most out of your rewards points? We’ve got some tips and tricks to help!
Well, we’re about to get into the ho-ho-ho-holiday spirit because it will soon be Christmastime at Disney World!
Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations
We’re ready to see all the pretty decorations, enjoy some fabulous food and entertainment from the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and go to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. But the holidays also bring something else to Disney World: crowds. So just how busy will Disney World be during the holidays?
When it comes to good eats at Disney World resorts, most guests probably think of deluxe hotels like Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.
Don’t underestimate dining at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Perhaps that’s why Disney’s Coronado Springs, a moderate resort, often gets overlooked when it comes to food. But we’re here to tell you — don’t sleep on dining here because there are some great eats. We’re going to break down all the dining options at Coronado Springs (and there are A LOT) and give you some ideas of what to order at each one!
