By the time Connor arrived at EPCOT for his wish experience, the Disney Culinary team had been preparing for his arrival for months. They knew he loved food and dreamed of becoming a chef. So, together with Make-A-Wish and Connor’s family, the team began asking themselves an important question: How could they create an experience that felt uniquely Connor? The answer would eventually bring together our EPCOT cast members for a day filled with festival flavors, behind-the-scenes surprises, and time in the kitchen cooking up delicious bites. But first, the team had some planning to do. A Wish Designed with Connor in Mind The details started well before the first fried pickle spear. It began with a phone call 10 months earlier when Chef Eddie, the Culinary Director at EPCOT, first learned about Connor’s wish to have a food tasting tour with Disney Chefs at Walt Disney World. Connor lives with a neurological condition that may impact his ability to enjoy food later in life, so the Disney Culinary team wanted to create a meaningful experience for him and his family. And what better time to do a foodie event than during the 30th anniversary of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? With the October date confirmed, Chef Eddie began working backwards when building the plans for the day, all based on how he hoped Connor would feel throughout his experience. He pulled together his team for the wish, and they got to work preparing to create a memory for Connor that would stay with him and his family forever. As they learned more about Connor and his passion for food, ideas began taking shape, and they decided the Disney magic shouldn’t wait until he arrived in Florida. So, the Culinary team sent a few items to his hometown in Minnesota beforehand so they’d be all set for the special day. The items inside that celebratory box included World Showcase pavilion T-shirts for the whole family, a Disney Culinary crossbody bag, and a baseball cap signed by members of the team. There was also a collection of welcome cards from Food & Beverage locations across EPCOT offering a preview of just how many cast members were looking forward to his visit. Every small detail was taken into account before the family arrived, and now the special experience was coming to life. A Day Full of Culinary Adventures When the day finally arrived, everyone gathered in World Celebration Gardens to welcome Connor and his family for the start of an adventure-filled day! Hugs and handshakes exchanged; it was time for everyone, including EPCOT Vice President Matt Simon, Culinary Director Chef Eddie, Executive Chef Daniel, Chef de Cuisine Tony, Chef de Cuisine Amanda, and Chef Marco to head to the first Global Marketplace and let the culinary adventure commence. Connecting Through a Passion for Food The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival was a natural place for the culinary team to connect with Connor over something they all shared: a love of food. Starting first at the Fry Basket, the team shared how this stop has become a guest favorite thanks to its famous Fry Flight. But you can’t talk about food without a taste test. So, the team grabbed a flight and brought it over to the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey, where a table of food and beverage items were waiting for Connor and his family to dive into. Behind-the-scenes and within the kitchens, more food and beverage cast were preparing for Connor’s visit. Everyone walked through the event trail in advance and went through logistics for the main day, so they were ready to make it the most magical day possible. “As we walk from each marketplace, we’re reaching out to team members to let them know we’re on the way, so they can begin preparing everything for the family,” shared Chef Marco. That ensured extra surprises for Connor and his family and the chance for plenty of tasting. “We wanted to surprise his family with one of everything from the entire menu,” said Chef Tony. “Plus, for each item we’re explaining how the items were created and developed before the festival.” During the feast, Connor shared his love for the fried pickle spears (might have been his favorite overall!) and chatted with the Chefs about the inspiration behind the plates at this stop. It was a true family dining experience as everyone gathered together, ate festival favorites, and shared stories. With each stop along the group’s trail, more and more Food and Beverage cast members stepped out of their Global Marketplace locations to spend time with the family. There was even a visit from Senior Vice President of Operations, Jason Kirk, and Food and Beverage General Manager, Mike Driscoll, who were walking around EPCOT for the day to try the new marketplaces that opened earlier that month. After stopping at the four booths in the morning, the team had a surprise waiting in the kitchen. Welcoming a New Chef to the Team In a nearby kitchen, Connor encountered another culinary legend: Chef Goofy, who was excited to help with the next surprise for the day with the help of Chef Eddie. Together, they presented Connor with his own personalized Chef coat, officially welcoming him to the team. “It was my favorite part of the entire day,” said Jessica, Connor’s mom. “Seeing him in his very own Chef coat felt special because that’s what he hopes to do in the future.” Now, dressed for the job, Connor was going to get his own turn in the kitchen. Putting Connor’s Chef Coat to Work At Connections Café & Eatery, Connor moved from tasting to creating within one of our kitchen pods, first cooking pizza alongside Chef Joey before working on pastries with Chef Amanda. The Magic Goes Both Ways After saying goodbye to his new culinary teammates, Connor and his family continued wrapping up the day at Space 220 for dinner with a few surprise desserts waiting for them from the team. But Connor wasn’t the only one leaving with memories to last a lifetime. For the cast members who planned his visit, cooked alongside him, and gathered around the table with his family, this was a memory they’ll take with them forever. They welcomed Connor into their kitchen, pulled up a chair, and made memories together. That might have been the best thing anyone cooked up all day. The Impact of a Wish For more than 45 years, Disney and Make-A-Wish have worked together to create magical wish experiences. They build hope, lift spirits, and offer new, hopeful memories for the whole family. Disney is the largest wish granter for Make-A-Wish, granting a Disney wish every hour of every day.

Wish kid and fellow foodie, Connor, came to EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival hungry and ready to eat. Connor’s wish was to taste his way around Walt Disney World with Disney Chefs while learning more about the nostalgic food themes behind Disney dining. What Connor thought would be a tasting tour at EPCOT, ended up having a few extra surprises on the menu. Connor has a neurological condition that may impact his ability to enjoy food later in life, so the Disney Culinary team wanted to create an even more meaningful experience for him and his family. The special outing included stopping at food and beverage locations to try delectable offerings, learning the origin stories behind dishes, visiting a kitchen with one particularly Goofy chef, and going to Connections Café & Eatery to make a few tasty creations of his own. There was plenty on the menu, so let’s dig in. Did You Know? Disney is the world’s largest wish granter for Make-A-Wish. In fact, a Disney wish is granted every hour of every day. Welcoming Connor from Minnesota to Florida The magic began in Minnesota when Connor first heard from our chefs. Together, Chefs Eddie, Amanda, Tony, Daniel, and Marco put together a welcome package for his upcoming wish experience. And of course, no gift would be complete without some Disney merch featuring his favorite Disney character, Goofy. Other cast members from across the park also added their own touch with cards for Connor and his family, each sharing their excitement for his visit. But the surprises were just getting started. Once he arrived at EPCOT, Connor and his family began their adventure in World Celebration Gardens with the Disney chefs who would be joining them throughout the entire experience and a special visit from EPCOT Vice President Matt Simon to start the day. After a few introductions and photos near the Walt Disney statue, there was only one question left to answer: What are we eating first? Sharing a Taste of EPCOT First up, Connor was off to taste his way around the Global Marketplaces, making a stop at four different locations: The Fry Basket, Brew-Wing Lab at The Odyssey, Milled & Mulled, and The Wedge hosted by Dairy Does More. Each location had a feast of items waiting for him upon his arrival. More than that, the chefs were also with him at each marketplace letting him know the lore behind different offerings, how the marketplaces’ kitchens and grills operate, and some of their own favorite Food and Wine facts and stories. Connor's Picks Connor’s honorable mentions from the festival: Try the Fried Pickle Spears from Brew-Wing Lab and the Cannoli Milk Shake from The Wedge. What can we say; the man has good taste and these two offerings both got a thumbs up from him! After our food stroll, it was time to head somewhere guests don’t typically find on a theme park map: a backstage kitchen. A Special Surprise in the Kitchen Now, it wouldn’t be a true culinary experience without a visit to the kitchen. Stuffed from plates of food and beverages galore, Connor made his way to the backstage kitchen, where Chef Goofy was ready to greet the newest member of the Disney Culinary crew. And no chef is ready for the kitchen without the right attire. After a few photos with his favorite character, Connor was presented with his very own personalized green chef coat from Chef Eddie, giving him a chance to suit up alongside his new culinary friends. Cooking Up Memories Together After time with Chef Goofy, it was onto the next stop: Connections Café & Eatery. There, Connor rolled up his coat sleeves and became an honorary Disney Chef. Alongside Chef Joey, Connor participated in a make-your-own pizza experience, getting a hands-on look at the culinary process while preparing a classic pepperoni pizza. With his creation in the oven, he pivoted to the Liège Waffle with Chef Amanda to round out the experience with a sweet treat. For Disney chefs whose careers are rooted in creating memorable experiences through food, the opportunity to connect with Connor through their craft made the day especially meaningful. One Last Stop, 220 Miles Up With full hearts (and even fuller stomachs), Connor and his family had one last stop: Space 220 Restaurant for an out-of-this-world dinner to cap off an unforgettable day. From his first festival bite to making creations of his own, Connor got a taste of the passion behind Disney Culinary. “Our medical journey has been filled with many triggers, many things that have been sad, hard, and overwhelming,” said Jessica, Connor’s mom. “But it’s also been full of many glamorous things that bring me hope, that bring me strength and courage. Today was probably one of the best days.” And for the cast members who spent the day alongside him, sharing that passion made the day even sweeter. Thanks for cooking up some magic with us, Connor. That green chef jacket looks good on you!

It’s not the holidays at Disney World until the decorations start popping up where the stars live. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, then you need to spend some more time in Hollywood Studios for Christmas! It’s Christmas time in Hollywood Studios! Christmas decorations have officially started popping up around Disney World, and our entire team is thrilled, since this is the most magical time of the year. Each park has its own set of holiday decorations, and Hollywood Studios is underrated. Yes, Magic Kingdom will always be iconic, but Hollywood Studios has something so classy and elegant. We’re checking out all the 2026 holiday decorations, so come along! Welcome to Hollywood Studios! The holiday season officially runs from November 13th to January 6th, so you don’t have much time to see it all. Luckily for us, decor starts going up around Disney World roughly at the end of October and into early November before the official start dates begin. This year, in Hollywood Studios, October 30th was the big day! Look at those stars! Hollywood Studios has tons of beautiful holiday decorations, but the most notable are those stars lining Sunset Boulevard leading to the Tower of Terror! How classy are those? Nothing quite like the tower through the stars! It isn’t just Sunset that gets the pretty decorations, though! Echo Lake will transform for the holidays as well when Gertie the dinosaur dons her Santa Claus hat and the lake fills with gorgeous ornaments. This is the area where you’ll also find nods to classic holiday decorations with 1950s-inspired Santa decorations. These decorations haven’t appeared at the time of writing, but we’re hoping to spot them any day now. Echo Lake’s holiday decorations from 2024! Over in Toy Story Land, they also get in on the festive fun! They will eventually have larger-than-life Christmas sugar cookies, popcorn tinsel, and more. At the time of writing, those decorations haven’t hit the parks yet. Plus, this year Alien Swirling Saucers will even feature a holiday overlay! The soundtrack will be layered with holiday-themed music, and at night, Christmas-colored lights will light up the attraction. Disney also confirmed what new songs will be part of the overlay from November 4th, 2026 through January 6th, 2027, including Toyland, Deck the Halls, Swirling, Swirling Saucers, and Joy To The Swirl. ©Disney While there is plenty of fun to have during the day, if you’re looking for more holiday experiences, grab tickets to Jollywood Nights. This after-hours event gives you access to exclusive entertainment, food, and character meet-and-greets, and if you’ve been to Disney World a hundred times, it’s such a fun way to celebrate the holidays a little bit differently. It runs on select nights from November 7th to January 5th. Jollywood Nights Map from 2024 Hollywood Studios wasn’t the first spot to get holiday decorations this year! Yesterday, we also spotted Christmas decorations in Animal Kingdom. The classic lanterns appeared in Discovery Island, and those beautiful lanterns were already swaying in Asia.

Picture this: You’ve been waiting in line for what feels like roughly one full Marvel movie. You’ve admired the pre-show. You’ve buckled in. You’ve whispered a nervous “here we go!” to your travel companion. And then, somewhere between “blast off” and “wow, this is the best ride in all of Disney World,” everything stops. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind The music fades. The lights come up. And a very calm Cast Member voice politely informs you that you will be walking out of this attraction. That’s pretty much what happened to us when we went to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT on the evening of October 28th. Here’s what actually happened. Now, before you panic, let us say right away that it was fine! Totally fine! But because we know that Cosmic Rewind is one of the most popular attractions in all of Disney World, and because ride breakdowns do happen (even to the best of Disney’s best), we figured you might be wondering: what actually happens when your coaster-through-time-and-space turns into a surprise backstage tour? Evacuated crowds Here’s how the ordeal started: the Guardians of the Galaxy preshow was down. If you’ve ridden Cosmic Rewind before, you know the preshow is a big part of the magic, so this was our first sign that something was off. Rather than sending us through the usual path, Cast Members rerouted us backstage to get to the ride vehicles. Yes, we got a peek behind the curtain! No, we can’t tell you whether we saw Rocket Raccoon on his lunch break. (We looked.) We’ll be honest — at this point, we thought this was going to be the whole story. A little detour, a little extra walking, a fun “remember that time” anecdote for the group chat. Reader, we were wrong. Cast Members keeping everyone away from the building Next thing we knew, Guardians was being evacuated, and the fire alarms went off. This was not a leisurely stroll to the exit. Cast Members got everyone out of the building, and they did it with urgency. It was loud, it was a little chaotic, and it was definitely not the way we planned to spend our evening. But we want to give credit where it’s due: the Cast Members were clear, fast, and focused on one thing, which was getting every single guest outside safely. Our tip: If you ever find yourself in this situation, don’t stop to grab your phone for a photo, finish your snack, or look for your travel buddy. Move with the Cast Members, follow their directions, and sort out the rest once you’re outside. No one in line Once we were outside, Cast Members directed guests away from the building, keeping the area around the exit clear. This is standard for an evacuation, and it’s what you’d expect, but it’s a good reminder that you won’t be able to hang around the entrance waiting for the ride to reopen. Not to mention that the lines at Guest Relations were long. Lots of guests headed straight there to ask about experience redemptions and to get new Lightning Lane selections for Cosmic Rewind. Considering how hard it is to snag a Lightning Lane for this ride in the first place, we completely understand the impulse! Guest Relations line If you’re thinking about heading to Guest Relations after a ride closure, go in knowing there may be a crowd, especially if the evacuation happened at a busy time of day. Be patient, be kind (the Cast Members are dealing with a lot of stressed-out guests at once), and have your Lightning Lane or reservation details handy. Lots of Lightning Lane experience redemptions were given out! The good news is that Cosmic Rewind was back up and running by around 8:30 PM, with no issues. Even better, the preshows were playing again, which meant the full experience was restored. We had to be patient! While this type of evacuation isn’t common, it does happen. Here’s a quick recap of what to remember if you’re ever in this situation: Follow Cast Member instructions immediately. They’re the experts. Don’t linger near the building. You’ll be directed away, so go with the flow. Be prepared for lines at Guest Relations if you want a redemption or a new Lightning Lane. Check back later. Our ride reopened the same night, so don’t give up on it! The ride was back up and running later! We’ll be on the lookout for even more Disney updates you need to know about. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog and check out our video below on our Ultimate Guide to EPCOT! Check out more ride evacuation stories at the links below!

Sir Patrick Stewart, known for his iconic roles in the Star Trek and X-Men franchises, has died at 86. ©CBS Broadcasting Deadline has reported that Stewart died on Wednesday, October 28th, at his home in Los Angeles following “a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia.” Longtime spokesperson Kelly Bush Novak announced the news. “He has been held in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter and the kind of profound emotion that only he could inspire after a lifetime of devotion to us all,” Bush Novak wrote. “We will forever cherish the peaceful ease and reflection on his face, an enduring reminder of his invincible grace.” ©Gage Skidmore When Stewart was cast as Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 1980s, he was unfamiliar in America but had decades of classical theater work in England with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stewart reportedly won over Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and signed a long-term contract to play Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, despite thinking there was no way the show would last beyond one season. He was also well-known for his role in the X-Men franchise, an adaptation of the Marvel comic books. He worked alongside longtime friend Ian McKellen, who played opposite him as the villain, Magneto, and appeared as Charles Xavier in eight total films: X2: X-Men United (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), and Logan (2017), along with having cameos in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), The Wolverine (2013) and Avengers: Doomsday (2026). ©Marvel Stewart was born on July 13th, 1940, in Mirfield, Yorkshire, England, to Alfred and Gladys Stewart. At 18, he won a scholarship to Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and at 26, he became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he spent the majority of the 1960s. He received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for playing Captain Ahab in the 1998 miniseries Moby and for his work as King Henry II in The Lion in Winter. ©Gage Skidmore His roles certainly didn’t stop there, as Stewart had quite a long filmography over his many years as an actor. “Like me, Jean-Luc has lived an unusual life that has taken him far beyond the bounds of normal human experience,” Stewart wrote in his 2023 memoir, Making It So. “But he is also someone who has remained true to his earthbound roots, for they are what gave him his identity. In the end, he feels the call of home, as do I.” ©Marvel He was married three times, first to theater choreographer Sheila Falconer in 1966, with whom he had two children — Daniel and Sophia. He later married Star Trek producer Wendy Neuss, and in 2013, he married jazz musician Sunny Ozell in a ceremony officiated by McKellen. Our thoughts are with Patrick Stewart’s friends and family during this difficult time. View the full article

Animal Kingdom might not be your top holiday park at Disney World, but once you meet the Merry Menagerie, you’ll head back every year. These friendly, winter-themed puppets hang out at the front of the park and bring holiday cheer, but Animal Kingdom also has beautiful Christmas decorations you won’t want to miss. Holiday decorations are up! While Disney World doesn’t put up all the decorations overnight, you can still enjoy plenty of Christmas magic, from Christmas trees and wreaths to lights and more. Animal Kingdom even has more holiday decor than you might think, and we just got our first look at this year’s trimmings! It’s tiiiiiiime! This year, the holiday season officially runs from November 13th to January 6th, but Disney has slowly started installing holiday decorations throughout the park. On Discovery Island, you’ll find these gorgeous animal lanterns that we look forward to seeing every year. Gorgeous lanterns Animal Kingdom is the only park without an after-hours Christmas event or a massive festival, but you shouldn’t skip it. The Merry Menagerie is worth a visit on its own, and you will get the cutest photos ever. All the puppets have names and personalities, and a few different animals rotate through. It’s one of our favorite parks at the holidays for a reason! Such an underrated park for decor While there aren’t a ton of decorations around Animal Kingdom just yet, this marks the first sign that the rest of the decor is on its way. If you look at the top of Island Mercantile and Discovery Island Trading Company, you’ll see all of the animal lanterns in all their glory. They’re super pretty at night when the sun goes down, too! Island Mercantile And, this year, something new is coming to Animal Kingdom for the holidays! Santa’s Holiday Grove is the new Santa Claus meet-and-greet location at Animal Kingdom for 2026. Located across from Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!’s Theater in the Wild, this new trail features intermittent snow flurries, specialty food and beverage items, a seasonal soundtrack, and a meeting with Santa Claus himself!

After a month of closure, this popular Magic Kingdom attraction has reopened, and a full day early! Train Station The Walt Disney World Railroad closed on September 28th, and for a month we had to patiently wait for the refurbishment to finish. While the Disney World calendar showed the attraction reopening on October 30th, it ended up opening a day early. So, what changes did we notice? We went to Magic Kingdom to see if the refurbishment brought any changes, and we wish we could tell you something cool, but we didn’t actually see any changes with the station itself. It looks like maybe the tracks were what they were working on, or possibly the bricks. Other than that, there were no changes that stood out to us. Magic Kingdom train station! The Walt Disney World Railroad has been around since Magic Kingdom’s opening day. It operates with historic steam locomotives and takes a round trip around Magic Kingdom, consisting of four locomotives with five passenger cars each. Each train can hold about 365 people. This attraction is iconic! It’s a great way to get around Magic Kingdom, especially when your feet are tired, and you just need a break from the hustle and bustle. The train stops at three stations — Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and Fantasyland. You can normally take a full loop around Magic Kingdom, but because of the construction in Frontierland, the railroad is operating in shuttle mode only. So, the train goes from Main Street, U.S.A. to Fantasyland and back again (no Frontierland). We’re at the station We’re assuming things should go back to normal once the construction in Frontierland is complete, although Disney hasn’t given us any timeline on when Piston Peak will be finished. Even once Piston Peak is done, Disney hasn’t shared whether the railroad will go into Frontierland while Villains Land is being built. These are all things we’ll have to keep an eye out for. Frontierland construction We’re here to keep you up to date on all of the latest Disney news and updates as more construction takes place in Disney World.

Okay, we know this is weird. We KNOW! But we need you to hang on a second and picture this: You ordered mobile from Cosmic Ray’s and sent your family to grab a table. You’re staying behind to grab the food, and all of a sudden you have a tray FULL of five different meals, sides, and drinks, and you see where your family is sitting — all the way outside through a swarm of people. How will you get the food and drinks over there without anything spilling? Disney World Resort Refillable Mug We’ve been in this exact situation a hundred times, so we don’t play around when we find something that makes our Disney World trip easier. This $13 piece of plastic is saving our sanity, and we think it will save yours too. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Meet the Fold Way Cup Carrier! ©Amazon This small piece of plastic holds up to four cups, including Disney World cups and resort mugs you’ll be lugging around all day. It folds up super small, so when you’re not using it, it adds little weight or takes up much space in your backpack. ©Amazon Disney doesn’t give out lids and straws very easily, so you’ll have to carry the cups through the restaurant and possibly the park for those who don’t drink fast enough without that extra precaution. The carrier makes it super easy to slide the cups in and carry around when you need it. Soda time! Is this really worth $13? We think so! Because it folds up so small, it’s not a huge space investment, and have you ever tried to carry trays of food and drinks? It’s hard! The last thing you want on your Disney World trip is to spill drinks all over yourself and be walking around with Coke on your pants all day. As someone who has tried to find a pair of pants in Magic Kingdom, I promise it’s not worth the risk. This is also great if you are in charge of filling up all of the reusable mugs at your hotel each morning. Snag this little gadget, and it will be so much easier to bring all the mugs back to your room once they’re full!! GRAB IT HERE!

Construction seems to be the name of the game in Disney World because it’s pretty much EVERYWHERE. Not only are you likely to see signs of construction at your Disney World hotel, but you’ll also see construction in Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom as Disney adds new lands, expansions, and rides to those three parks. Even EPCOT will soon have construction. Big Blue and Beyond! Well, there’s no sign that the construction will end anytime soon. Disney World just filed four new permits, suggesting that more work will be done throughout the resort. So let’s get into these permits and see what they mean. Two of the four permits are for one of Disney World’s water parks, Typhoon Lagoon. Typhoon Lagoon recently closed for the season for its annual refurbishment, so we’re not entirely surprised to see some permits for the water park. The first permit is for general construction at Humunga Kowabunga. The contractor is Gulfcost Utility Constructors, who do infrastructure work like underground utility work, vacuum services, mechanical contracting, fire prevention, and more. So this definitely seems like some infrastructure maintenance. Typhoon Lagoon The second permit for Typhoon Lagoon is also for general construction on Crush n Gusher. The contractor is Harris Contracting. This company does painting, so it looks like some things at Typhoon Lagoon might be getting a fresh coat of paint, which is also general refurbishment stuff. Typhoon Lagoon Let’s talk about the other two permits. The first is for general construction at a parade storage building behind Magic Kingdom. This is likely for general refurbishment, too, as the contractor is Competitive Edge Partners & Consulting, a company that specializes in electrical services, painting, doors, and more. Magic Kingdom Finally, Disney also filed a permit for the theater that houses the Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! show in Animal Kingdom. The permit is for general construction, and the contractor is MLC Theming, a contractor that works specifically in theming. Now, this doesn’t mean the theater is getting anything new, but it could mean some of the theming at the theater could be getting updated in some way. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond!

We’re obsessed with Disney Cast Members and that’s not an overstatement! Hi Greg! Cast Members are truly what make the Disney parks magical, and we’ve experienced that time and time again. Whether we’re having a bad day and they show a little kindness or we’re celebrating something and they make our day even more special, some of our best memories in the parks are made by the Disney employees. And recently, we had a moment that made us smile! When you’re in the theme parks as much as we are, you inevitably see some of the same Cast Members over and over again, even developing friendships with them along the way. It’s kind of like having a work bestie, except we work different jobs in the same place. And for us, one of our favorite people to stop and chat with is Greg in Animal Kingdom! Hey Greg! Greg has been a custodial Cast Member for a while now, and we used to spot him making magic in DinoLand, U.S.A. frequently. He’s still around in other parts of Animal Kingdom, and the other day when we spotted Greg, he gave us a GIFT! LOVE IT He has a cute little stamp of Mickey Mouse running, and he uses it to punch holes in dead leaves. Isn’t this just the coolest free souvenir you could get from Disney World?! If we were here on vacation, this would definitely be going in a scrapbook. This is so thoughtful! It’s little moments like this that really make our Disney visits magical. Custodial Cast Members are some of the best at doing surprise and delight moments. We’ve seen them make Mickey shapes from leaves or fun little artwork around the parks. Mickey Head art in EPCOT And of course, we can’t forget the incredible water artwork that some Custodial Cast Members are trained to create. If you ever see them out and about with the wet broom painting the ground, make sure to stop and watch. We’ve seen everyone from Mickey and friends to Oswald to the Hatbox Ghost. It’s truly an amazing talent! It’s the Hatbox Ghost! So when you’re visiting Disney World next, make sure to be kind, gracious, and grateful to the Cast Members you encounter! They work long hours in wild weather to make sure that your vacation is wonderful, and Disney World wouldn’t be such a great escape without them. We love you, Cast Members! Cast Members If you have a memorable interaction with a Cast Member during your vacation, don’t forget to leave a Cast Compliment! You can do this through the My Disney Experience app. Simply search Cast Compliment in the search bar or find it on the menu page, then provide as many details as you can, like the Cast Member’s name and location. These are shared with their leaders directly, and it’s a honor for Cast Members to receive them! ©Disney To see our YouTube video on rules that Cast Members have to follow, check below!

For those of us who are self-proclaimed night owls, there are few Disney World hotel perks more enticing than Extended Evening Hours. This perk offers two extra hours to certain guests at select theme parks on select evenings after the park closes to the general public. Animal Kingdom During Extended Evening Hours However, given the perk is exclusive to Deluxe Tier Disney Resorts, access can be a bit pricey… unless, of course, you stay at the Swan & Dolphin Resorts, where you can save about half and still have access! The Michael Graves-designed hotels are unique amongst Disney World hotels in that they’re located on the company’s property but are not owned by Disney. Instead, the hotels, which opened in 1990, were initially part of a joint venture between Disney, the developer Tishman, insurance company MetLife, and Starwood Hotels and Resorts, and are currently owned and operated by Marriott’s Sheraton Hotels and Resorts brand. Due to this unique relationship with Disney, the hotels offer a litany of perks commonly associated with Disney’s Deluxe Tier Resorts, including: The ability to book Lightning Lanes seven days in advance Early Entry to Disney’s theme parks Complimentary transportation to the theme parks On-site and online Disney tickets Advanced tee times at Disney golf courses The aforementioned Extended Evening Hours at select Disney theme parks Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin With that established, let’s do some price comparisons. For example, in November 2026, EPCOT offers Extended Evening Hours on the 16th and Animal Kingdom offers them on the 18th. On those nights, a standard room at Disney’s Deluxe Tier Grand Floridian Resort & Spa costs $879 a night. ©Disney Meanwhile, a base room at the Dolphin for the same period costs $384 a night, more than 50% less for essentially the same suite of perks! Those types of price differences are common throughout the year! ©Disney On top of that, the hotels offer several unique discounts guests need to be aware of, including: Senior Citizen Rate: Guests 62 and older receive special savings. Those looking to reserve can call 1-888-828-8850 and ask for promotional code SENIOR CITIZEN RATE, or when booking online, make sure Promotional Code S9R appears in the Corporate/Promo code box.

If you want to make plans with me on Monday night, DON’T…I’ll be busy! ©Disney Why? Because it’s DISNEY NIGHT (eep!!!) on Dancing With the Stars and I simply cannot wait! Our team here at DFB has been heavily invested in this season — even going as far as creating a work-wide bracket challenge — but this might be the night we’re the most hyped about. And now, we know which songs will be performed! Dancing With the Stars has been doing Disney theme nights for several seasons now, but this will be the first time that the show does a night dedicated to Disney on Broadway! Most of the songs chosen are from Disney on Broadway shows or Disney movies that have Broadway adaptations. Without further ado, here’s the full list: Ezra and Daniella: “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid — Samba* Tatyana and Jan: “Easy As Life” from Aida — Contemporary* Harry and Jenna: “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins — Jazz* Maura and Mark: “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” from Peter Pan — Jive Connor and Rylee: “I See the Light from Tangled” — Waltz Amber and Pasha: “A Star Is Born” from Hercules — Quickstep Julia and Ezra: “Satisfied” from Hamilton — Paso Doble* Jenna and Val: “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast — Quickstep* *Disney songs that have been associated with a Broadway musical. ©Disney Team dances are also back this week! One team will be dancing to the song “Zoo” from Zootopia 2, and the other team will be dancing to “We’re All in This Together” from High School Musical. ©Disney As we mentioned above, Disney Night of Dancing With the Stars is happening on MONDAY, November 2nd. The show usually premiers on Tuesday, but has been moved to the day prior due to election coverage on Tuesday. Eight couples remain in the competition, and there are four weeks remaining (including Disney Night). This means that if one couple continues to be eliminated each week, we’ll once again be left with a five-person finale. If they skip an elimination on Disney Night, Grammy Night, or the semi-finals, we’ll have a six-person finale. ©Disney It was revealed during the week six episode that the guest judge for Disney on Broadway Night will be Cynthia Erivo, who is most recently widely known for playing Elphaba in the movie adaptation of Wicked. Cynthia is an Emmy, Grammy, and Tony award winner, as well as an Oscar nominee. She has performed on both the West End and Broadway. ©Universal Of course, on a personal level, I’m infinitely sad that Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson went home earlier this week on Halloween Night. He and Bachelorette star Tyler Cameron were ousted in a double elimination, but Jackson is a MAJOR Disney fan (he’s just like us, folks!). He’s also a big follower of DFB, and we were hoping to get the chance to watch him dance to a Disney tune. According to comments on TikTok, he and partner Emma Slater were planning to do a routine dedicated to The Greatest Showman, which is a movie Jackson has been heavily associated with during his time playing for the Bananas. ©Savannah Bananas Also, now that Jackson is gone, my bracket is officially busted. I had him picked to win it all before the season began, so now I’ll likely be rooting for Connor and Tatyana. (What can I say, I love a contestant with a likeable personality!) If you’re watching along, make sure to let me know who you’re rooting for in the comments! Hopefully, we’ll get to see some truly incredible routines on Monday night when the stars perform their Disney songs. ©ABC If you’re a Disney fan and want more content, check out our YouTube video below where we share over four hours of our best Disney World tips!

We’ve seen a lot of wild Disney rumors lately! Cinderella Castle From rumors about new attractions to gossip about Disney celebrities, we’ve seen it all. But right now, one big story swirling around on the internet is that Disney is building a theme park in Ohio…and we’re here to tell you the TRUTH. This week, an article and corresponding social media video began circulating claiming that Disney is building a new Disneyland park in Ohio. The reel on Facebook claimed that the new property would be massive with thirty resorts, 100 pickleball courts, and an entire Marvel-themed park. In the hours after this was published, many folks were searching online to see if this “news” was true. Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland We’re here to report to you that the rumor of Disneyland Ohio is absolutely false. The original story was posted by a satirical news site, and Disney has announced no such plans to build a theme park in Cincinnati or elsewhere in Ohio. As it stands, the only new Disney theme park that has been announced is Disney Abu Dhabi. ©Disney There were a wide variety of comments on the Facebook reel that seemed to believe the news partially, so this is your usual reminder to check the source of a video on social media before you believe any Disney news announced that way! Here at DFB, we share Disney news from reputable sources, so you can be sure that we’re vetting everything we post to make sure that it’s valid. EPCOT Fans have been speculating for years about Disney building another theme park in the United States. There have been many unsubstantiated claims in the past that Texas is on Disney’s radar, and it’s no secret that a large group of Disney Adults have been begging for a fifth gate in Disney World. The rumors of a fifth park in Florida started up again earlier this year after documents showed that Disney has the allowance to build the park on its existing property, if they so desired. Animal Kingdom Of course, right now Disney is investing heavily in its current parks, particularly in Disney World. Magic Kingdom is getting a Cars-themed Piston Peak expansion in Frontierland and the addition of Villains Land in the coming years, adding multiple new attractions, as well as shopping and dining locations. There’s even going to be a Maleficent coaster! ©Disney Over at Hollywood Studios, Monstropolis is well underway, with plans to be partially open in 2027. Later on, Disney will open its first suspended roller coaster in this land. And at Animal Kingdom, we’re gearing up for the massive addition of Tropical Americas, with attractions themed to Encanto and Indiana Jones. ©Disney There’s a lot for Disney fans to look forward to in the coming years, but as of right now, a new Disney park in the U.S. isn’t one of those things. Of course, if Disney ever does announce a new park stateside, you know we’ll let you know ASAP! To see tips for planning an incredible trip to Disney World, check out the video below!

Does your screen time make you wince when you see it? Yeah, us too, and considering we spend so much time in Disney World waiting in line for rides by ourselves, it’s no wonder it’s so high. Disney World lines can be pretty wild But we’d be lying if we said our eyes weren’t beginning to struggle, and we want other hobbies than just staring at our phones, so we’ve set out on a mission to find other hobbies. We know a lot of you are thinking the same thing, so we’ve decided to help everyone out at one time! We’ve compiled a list of some of the best alternative hobbies to do while you’re in line at Disney World, so that way we can all get off our phones together. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Now, listen, you need your phone for a lot of things in Disney World, but that doesn’t mean you have to be on it 24/7. Yes, you need it for dining reservations and to tap into the park, as well as to check the map for wait times, walk-up waitlists, and more, but when it comes to standing in line, that’s a different story. Gotta wait in line! Waiting in line can be hard, and quite frankly, boring. Especially for younger kids, those who are neurodivergent, or those who find it hard to wait in line for extended periods of time for other reasons. Your phone, and games on your phone, are a great way to keep yourself occupied, but do you really want to be staring at a screen ALL day? We certainly don’t. Norway Pavilion Line We know this is much easier said than done, but if you’re determined and want something more than a book (though that is a great option), we’ve got some great options below! It may take some time to find what you love most, but this is a good start! Who Doesn’t Love A Good Cross Stitch? ©Amazon Cross-Stitching is a great way to pass the time in line, and if you’re bringing a larger bag, you’ll have plenty of space to grab what you need/want. Why not make it Disney-themed, right? The Classic Disney Cross-Stitch brings you a way to bring 12 different characters to life, including Sorcerer Mickey, Snow White, and so many more. Grab on Amazon! What About A Bigger Cross-Stitch? ©Amazon If you’re looking for a bigger project, the Florida Disney Castle Cross-Stitch may be a great option for relaxing back at the hotel. This might be a bit big for the parks, but it’ll be a great way to have a memory of your trip when you get back home! Grab on Amazon! For Winnie The Pooh Fans ©Amazon For all the Winnie the Pooh fans out there, the Winnie the Pooh Cross Stitch Kit is a perfect one to bring in your bag, especially if you’re heading into Magic Kingdom. Imagine bringing it to Pooh in the parks and getting to show it to him? How adorable would that be! Grab on Amazon! How About Crocheting? ©Amazon If you’re not into cross-stitching, then how about crocheting? The Haunted Mansion Crochet has instructions for 12 different characters from the iconic Haunted Mansion attraction, including all three hitchhiking ghosts, the groundskeeper and his dog, and so many more. This is especially great if you’re looking for little stuffed friends to remember your trip by! Grab on Amazon! Check out even MORE crochet sets on Amazon! For Smaller Bags ©Amazon If the bag you’re bringing isn’t as large, or you don’t want to be dealing with anything more than you have to, the Disney Sudoku Puzzle Book is a fantastic in-between option. It’s small enough to fit into most bags and will keep you plenty entertained, but doesn’t take up too much room. Plus, it’s Disney-themed, and who doesn’t love that? Grab on Amazon! The More The Merrier ©Amazon What if you want more than just Sudoku? That’s where the Disney Variety Puzzles & Activities Digest Size Puzzle Book comes in! This has multiple kinds of puzzles to keep your brain occupied, so when you get tired of one, you can switch right to another. Grab on Amazon! What About Card Games? ©Amazon If you’re into card games and want something the whole family can play in line, the Skillmatics Guess in 10 Card Game is perfect for your trip! It’s recommended for ages 6 and up and can be played with 2-6 people, making it perfect for groups. You’ve gotta guess the card correctly in 10 seconds, and if not, you lose points! It’s fast, it’s fun, and the line will fly by. Grab on Amazon! Regular Cards Are Fun Too! ©Amazon There are SO many games you can play with a deck of cards, so having some in your bag is never a bad idea to us. We think the Bicycle Disney Mickey and Friends Playing Cards are the best since, you know, they’re Disney cards, but hey, any deck will do! You can play Go Fish, Big Two, Blackjack, Canasta, and so much more, all with one deck. Or, you can make up your own game! Grab on Amazon!

When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well. New eats from Columbia Harbour House We recently stopped by Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom to check out their newly revamped menu, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here! A refreshed menu has landed at this iconic Magic Kingdom counter-service spot, so you know we had to check it out! When we went to order, only the dessert was listed on Mobile Order, so we had to order the old-fashioned way. We expect this will change soon, though! Columbia Harbour House To start, we grabbed the new Beer-Battered Fish Platter for $14.99. This beer-battered fried fish (we’re guessing cod) comes with steak fries. The fish is oddly shaped, to say the least, with curls and folds you won’t find on your standard fried fish — likely from the thin fillet reacting to the heat from frying. The exterior is also noticeably greasy. One touch left our phone, camera lens, and everything else we handled covered in oil! Beer-battered Fish Platter The batter is more structured than before, with a crisp, crunchy exterior. Inside, the fish is pretty chewy with a firm first bite. It lacks fresh, rich seafood flavor and isn’t as flavorful as the fish and chips at EPCOT, despite looking very similar. It doesn’t necessarily taste cooked from frozen, but the interior is very mild and never goes beyond a basic fish flavor. Nicely battered Compared to fresh fish and chips from a coastal restaurant, this falls short. Kids probably won’t notice a difference and may be happy to see a change from the usual chicken tenders! If you’re craving a familiar fried dish, this will do the job. If you’re hoping for fresh, rich seafood flavors, we’d skip it. Flaky fish The Hand-breaded Shrimp Platter is also new, and you can get it for $14.99 as well. This platter features hand-breaded, fried shrimp served with steak fries. The breading is thin enough to see the shrimp through it, giving the dish a lighter look than heavily battered options, and it wasn’t super greasy as a result. Hand-breaded Shrimp Platter The shrimp are slightly crispy outside and firm inside, with distinct shrimp flavor in every bite! They taste relatively fresh. The shrimp are on the smaller side, but they make up for it in quantity (we had about 8, plus lots of fries). Each one is satisfying and filling. A dipping sauce would be a great addition to bring out the flavors. The tartar sauce added a tangy, savory element, but squeezing it out of a packet took some extra effort. Light breading We can see shrimp lovers really enjoying this! If you’re used to very fresh shrimp and sauces for flavor, you might be a little let down. Still, it’s a breath of fresh air among all the other theme park food options! Good with tartar sauce We also picked up the Plant-Based Crab Cake Sandwich, which is $13.99. This plant-based sandwich stacks a thick crab cake, lettuce, tomato, and New England tartar sauce on a brioche bun, served with steak fries. Plant-based Crab Cake Sandwich It’s generously loaded, and all that height makes it a bit tricky to bite into. The flavor is much sweeter and tangier than we expected from a savory sandwich. Tomato is surprisingly the strongest flavor in every bite, despite only a couple of slices. The crab cake has a mild sweetness of its own. The crab cake is thick and chewy with a dense texture. The creamy, tangy tartar sauce comes in second behind the tomato, and together they give the sandwich a tangy, slightly acidic kick. The lettuce is more stringy than crunchy, so it gets lost among the toppings with no noticeable flavor or texture. This thing was huge! The brioche bun is soft, slightly buttery, and sturdy enough to hold everything together! Between the heavy flavors and thick steak fries, this can be a lot for a long park day. The crab cake also doesn’t taste especially fresh or authentic, so if you’re expecting a next-level crab cake, this isn’t it. The good news is there’s plenty of food, and it’s easily shareable between two! Cross section The steak fries that come with each entree are generously sized with thick cuts! They seem to be cooked from frozen rather than made fresh in-house. They’re lightly salted on the outside with very little crispiness. The texture leans chewy and soft rather than crispy, lacking the golden crunch you expect from a steak fry. Still, it’s nice to have some fries between bites of fish to balance out the fishy flavors, even if they aren’t the freshest. Steak fries were good Finally, for dessert, we got the Boston Cream Pie for $5.99. In the past, this has been served trifle-style, but now it’s more of a traditional pastry. This dessert features layers of yellow cake and Boston cream custard filling, topped with chocolate ganache frosting and a sprinkling of yellow cake crumbs. Boston Cream Pie The overall flavor and texture reminded us of chocolate chip pancakes. The yellow cake is soft and fluffy, but slightly dense, and the custard adds moisture with a subtle sweetness. The chocolate ganache frosting is thick and gooey with a rich chocolate taste. It leans sweet, like milk chocolate, but isn’t very creamy. Some good layering The custard has a smooth, pudding-like consistency with a subtle vanilla flavor. It adds some sweetness, but mostly contributes texture and moisture rather than a strong flavor of its own. Overall, the yellow cake and chocolate ganache are the strongest flavors, with the custard bringing the layers together in a soft, creamy bite. This could be a treat the whole family enjoys! It’s much larger than we anticipated, so it’s shareable, though better suited to a couple of people than a big group. We loved this!

What the heck happened?! The holidays begin at Disney World NEXT WEEK! Holidays at Disney World! Crazy enough, we’re about to enter the holiday season, and we’re beyond excited! Christmas decor is about to be put up all around Disney World and Christmas music will fill the air as you enter each park. We’re looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we what we need to talk about is New Year’s Eve. Disney just revealed the New Year’s Eve park hours and fireworks schedule, and it’s time to start planning! Disney has finally announced details for New Year’s Eve, and it looks like Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios will all stay open late on Thursday, December 31st. We also know that each park will have countdown fireworks to welcome in 2027. As for Animal Kingdom, it looks like that park will operate as a normal day. So, if you’re looking for a celebration, you’ll want to go to the other three. New Year’s Eve at EPCOT If you’re planning on going to Disney World on New Year’s Eve, early entry begins at 8:30 AM at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, AND Hollywood Studios. Early entry for Animal Kingdom begins at 7:30 AM. Check out the hours for each Disney World park for December 31st: Magic Kingdom: 9 AM to 12 AM EPCOT: 9 AM to 1 AM Hollywood Studios: 9 AM to 12 AM Animal Kingdom: 8 AM to 6 PM Note that Magic Kingdom will also close at 12 AM on Wednesday, December 30th. EPCOT and Hollywood Studios will still close at 9 PM on that night. New Year’s Eve at EPCOT If you’re planning on celebrating at either Disney Springs or Blizzard Beach, know that Disney Springs will be open from 10 AM to 11 PM. Blizzard Beach will be open from 10 AM to 5 PM. Disney Springs! Now, let’s talk nighttime spectaculars, because that’s what the celebration is all about. Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios will each end the night with a New Year’s Eve countdown fireworks show. These are the showtimes Disney lists for December 31st: Fantasy in the Sky at Magic Kingdom: 6:30 PM and 11:50 PM Cheers to the New Year: A Sparkling Celebration at EPCOT: 11:54 PM New Year Countdown Fireworks at Hollywood Studios: 11:57 PM Fantasy in the Sky will also take place at Magic Kingdom at the exact same times on December 30th! We do want to warn you that these shows get CROWDED. After all, they’re exclusive to only one day a year (or two in Magic Kingdom’s case). So, we heavily advise that you find a good spot for these extra early. Even earlier than you would for normal fireworks. Fantasy in the Sky We also want to note that EPCOT and Hollywood Studios will still have their regular nighttime entertainment prior to the fireworks celebration. Luminous: The Symphony of Us will still happen at EPCOT, except at 6:30 PM. At Hollywood Studios, Fantasmic! will take place at 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM, and Wonderful World of Animation at 9:00 PM. Notice how there will be NO Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom. Instead, there will be two showtimes of Fantasy in the Sky! New Year’s Eve in Magic Kingdom Something else that we noticed on the showtime calendar in regard to the holidays is that Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks have been confirmed for regular Magic Kingdom guests at 8 PM from December 23rd through December 29th. The exclusive fireworks show takes place at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but comes for regular guests on those specific dates. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Another show that takes place during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. It’s also supposed to come for regular park day guests at some point during December, but Disney hasn’t posted dates or showtimes just yet. Parades tend to populate later, which we can see with Festival of Fantasy, because it isn’t listed either. We’re assuming it’s just the normal delay. Once Upon a Christmastime Parade We seriously can’t wait for the holidays to arrive at Disney World, and we can’t believe it’s already going to be NEXT WEEK!

Believe it or not, there was a time when Disney World had an “off season” — when things at the resort were actually somewhat slower. (I’m old enough to have experienced it, which is probably a sign that I should look into why my back and knees crack, but I digress…) Ugh — another line! While that’s no longer the case, there are times when Disney World is busier than others. If your goal is to avoid crowds in 2027, you may want to sidestep these 8 weeks. February 13th – 20th Going by previous years, the first truly crowded post-New Year’s week of 2027 should be the week of President’s Day (mid-February). With loads of kids around the country off from school and their families looking to escape colder climates for the (comparatively) warmer temperatures of Central Florida, this week is traditionally one of the resort’s busiest. The fact that, this year, Valentine’s Day and the Super Bowl both fall during the same period will likely make it even busier. President’s Day Weekend crowds in previous years. March 21st – 27th Truth be told, most weeks in March and April will likely be busy ones for Disney hotels thanks to spring break happening at various times depending on the area/country. This year the apex of the season will be the final full week of March. Spring Break Crowds April 18th – 24th Cheer and dance competitions are a staple at Disney World from January through April each year, with the most crowded weeks coming in the latter months. The All-Star Resorts — All-Star Sports in particular — will likely see the largest of these groups because, you know… sports! All-Star Sports June 27th – July 3rd While there may not be a true off-season anymore, the traditional summer vacation remains one of the busiest times of year at Disney World, with the largest crowds visiting near the 4th of July. In 2027, the 4th itself falls on a Monday, making for the perfect long weekend. 4th of July in Magic Kingdom August 29th – September 4th While the middle weeks of August do usually see fewer crowds than the summer season immediately preceding them, things will likely pick up in the final week of the month. Historical precedent tells us that it will begin with the initial weekend of the International Food and Wine Festival and end with Labor Day weekend. In addition, there will likely be several Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates during this period. The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival November 21st – 27th In the last decade, the holiday season has arguably become the most in-demand at Disney World, and things really kick into high gear during Thanksgiving week. Guests come to spend the holiday — which falls on November 25th in 2027 — and then enjoy the first day of EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays. That annual event, which features the Candlelight Processional and holiday foods and traditions from around the world, historically kicks off on the day after Thanksgiving each year. Thanksgiving Day Crowds in Magic Kingdom December 19th – 25th and December 26th – January 1st Disney’s crowd levels will climax in the final two weeks of the year. From the 19th to the 25th, guests will pack the parks and hotels for what history tells us will be the final Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the year, plus Christmas itself. Polynesian at Christmas Then the 26th to the 1st will likely be even more crowded, as guests flood into the resort in the week between Christmas and New Year’s, culminating in the massive blowout to end the year. Skyliner crowds on New Year’s Eve If you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2027 and hoping to sidestep the busiest times, you may want to avoid these weeks.
