Tropical Storm Nicole (which hit Florida as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening into a tropical storm once again) has mostly passed through Central Florida, although wind and rain are still happening in certain areas. Storm in Disney World Disney World closed early on November 9th for the storm and reopened its theme parks in a late, phased reopening process the next day. The Orlando International Airport also closed, but now they’ve announced when the airport will resume commercial operations. On November 9th, the Orlando International Airport announced that commercial operations would cease beginning at 4PM. They said that anyone with a flight booked during the closure should work directly with their airline regarding cancellations, refunds, and rescheduling. Orlando International Airport Now, the airport has announced that “limited commercial operations will resume at [the] airport starting at 8PM tonight, Thursday (11/10/22).” This update affects domestic arrivals only. “Remaining international and domestic operations will resume tomorrow, Friday (11/11/22).” If you have a flight to Orlando that arrives after 8PM tonight, you should be fine to keep those travel plans. Otherwise, contact your airline to see what your options are about changing your flight.

The Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure runs from November 11th, 2022 through January 8th, 2023, but it just so happens that some booths opened EARLY! Merry Mashups Booth Of course, we had to check them after reading about all those delicious eats coming to the festival! We hope you’re feeling adventurous because we’re checking out a booth known for its “fun fusions of seasonal favorites” — so come with us to Merry Mashups! It’s time to get merry over at Merry Mashups — let’s hope we feel merry about the eats and drinks! Menu Merry Mashups is all about “fun fusions of seasonal favorites” and there are three different fun fusions on the menu! There’s a Turkey Poutine and Esquites Carnitas Mac and Cheese… 2022 Merry Mashups Menu …and a Spicy Apple Cider Margarita, too! These sound like promising menu items and we’ve had the Mac and Cheese in the past, so let’s check them out. Eats First up, we tried the Esquites Carnitas Mac and Cheese made with carnitas, salsa macha, spiced puffed rice, freeze-dried corn, and chopped cilantro for $8.50. This is a repeat dish from last year! Okay — this might just be our absolute favorite dish we tried, or at least one of them! Seriously, there were so many incredible flavors going on here, but none of them overpowered the other. It was a pretty good portion as well, but we did find ourselves wanting more just because it was so good! Esquites Carnitas Mac and Cheese Unfortunately, we didn’t love the Turkey Poutine quite as much. This is layers of roasted turkey, sweet potato bites, cheese curds and gravy, and topped with frosted cranberries for $8. We thought the cheese curds were a little soft and mushy instead of being firm and squeaky, and the turkey wasn’t great in terms of flavor or consistency. We did enjoy the sweet potato puffs (basically tots) and frosted cranberries, though! Turkey Poutine One dish is a must-get while the other is a pass — let’s see how the drink at this booth tastes! Drinks At Merry Mashups, you’ll find the Spicy Apple Cider Margarita made with Reposado Tequila, apple cider, house-made ghost pepper-cinnamon syrup, raspberry syrup and lime juice, garnished with an apple chip for $15.00. This drink was SPICY but it was also really, really delicious. At first you just taste the apple flavor, and then you’re hit with a bit of that heat! Spicy Apple Cider Margarita Luckily, it wasn’t too spicy to drink and we really enjoyed this fun twist on both apple cider and a margarita! Overall Give the Merry Mashups booth a try if you’re looking for something a bit different! The Esquites Carnitas Mac and Cheese is worth a visit to this booth alone, and the Spiced Apple Cider Margarita was a refreshingly spicy cocktail. This probably isn’t the booth for picky eaters or those looking for classic dishes that aren’t too adventurous — but we think it’s worth a visit!

If you’ll be traveling to the Orlando area during hurricane season, it’s critical that you know what to expect and how to prepare. Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom Hurricane season generally takes place from June 1st through November 30th. In 2022, the season brought a large amount of flooding to Orlando through Hurricane Ian, and once again impacted the Orlando area with Tropical Storm Nicole. One key thing that can be impacted by storms is the Orlando International Airport. We’ve seen the airport CLOSE due to recent storms, but what exactly does this spot do to prepare for bad weather? We’ve got an inside look! In November of 2022, Tropical Storm Nicole impacted parts of Florida, causing early closures of the Disney World theme parks and other closures throughout Orlando. Stormy winds If you were planning to fly into Orlando, Tropical Storm Nicole would have caused a LOT of headaches. Due to the storm, Orlando International Airport ceased all operations at 4PM (ET) on November 9th and shared that operations would resume at an undetermined time after the storm had passed. On the morning of November 10th, MCO shared that commercial flight operations were still halted. As of 11AM that day, they shared that the order remained in effect and individuals should NOT come to the airport until a “definitive time is given” for when they’d resume operations. Orlando International Airport Aside from an airport closure, you might be wondering just what the airport does to prepare for a storm. Well, now they’ve shared details on just that! On November 9th, 2022, MCO shared (via Twitter and a press release) that they were making preparations to “ensure the safety of…staff, travelers & facilities” ahead of the storm. ©Orlando International Airport As part of those preparations, the jet bridges were actually being tied down. As tropical storms (or hurricanes) can come with some strong winds, this action can help keep the bridges in place and prevent them from moving around too much and causing damage (or getting damaged). ©Orlando International Airport In addition, the ticket counters were covered for “security and protection.” ©Orlando International Airport Specifically, they noted that they would be “covering sensitive electronic equipment in the terminal.” If a storm causes any water leaks, flooding, flying debris, etc. these covers can help to protect sensitive electronics (at least partially). ©Orlando International Airport In addition to the steps above, the Orlando International Airport noted that the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Emergency Operations Center at the airport was active and would go into “full activation mode.” Aviation Authority personnel remain in contact with airlines to monitor the storm and judge when operations can resume. There are also ongoing communications with city, county, and emergency management officials. Communication was also ongoing with the National Weather Service/National Hurricane Center. Airport (When Open — Photo from September 2022) In addition to all of the above, the team at MCO also works on removing debris from the area. There is also a designated number of staff members (from the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority) that remain inside the terminal throughout the storm as the “ride-out crew.” They assess any damage and help get the airport ready to reopen as quickly as possible after the storm has left. ©Orlando International Airport Near 11:55AM on November 10th, MCO shared that the crews were in the process of assessing the inside facilities for damage and would then move outside (as the weather improved) to assess any damage there. ©Orlando International Airport If you are traveling to Orlando ahead of a storm, be sure to check for updates from the airport as to any closures, delays, cancelations, etc. If you encounter any cancelations, contact your individual airline or rental car company for questions about refunds or rescheduling. Keep in mind that the Orlando International Airport is not an authorized shelter, so passengers will need to make personal accommodations ahead of any storms.

DON’T PANIC! Hollywood Studios If you’re in the situation where you really want to go to Disney World, but you’ve only got two days to get it all done…don’t freak out yet. It may seem like a daunting task (because there’s SO much to do across the property!), but a short vacation is completely doable. That’s why we’re sharing our tips for how to have a successful trip in just two days! Ditch a Park (or Two) Let’s start with the easiest way to make your trip shorter — you can skip out on some of the Disney World parks. Typically we advise a day per park (or two if you really want to do as much as possible), but if you cut out one or two of the four theme parks, you can have a pretty solid 2-day trip. Spaceship Earth Unfortunately, planning a 48-hour vacation means that you’re going to have to make some sacrifices, and cutting out parks is a big one, but one of the most effective strategies. There are two ways to go about this — you can either do one day in your favorite park followed by a half day each in two other parks, or you can do one full day each in two different parks. Keep in mind that if you go with option one, you’ll need to purchase a Park Hopper ticket, which could add some significant cost to your trip. Make Mobile Order Your BFF Next up, let’s talk about Mobile Order! The lines for quick service restaurants can get LONG during the day, especially if you’re stopping by during a popular mealtime. Don’t waste your time standing in line — use the My Disney Experience app to place your order ahead of time, then pick it up when you arrive at the restaurant. You can even select a Mobile Order window for later in the day, so place those orders early if you can! Mobile Order Signage And while we’re mentioning features of the My Disney Experience app, don’t forget about Mobile Checkout! It’s available at select stores around the parks, and it allows you to scan your merchandise and pay from your phone, without waiting in long lines at the register. Once your purchase is complete, you simply check with a Cast Member at a kiosk near the exit before leaving. Plan Food Ahead of Time This may seem dramatic, but knowing what you want to eat BEFORE you get to the theme parks can save you a ridiculous amount of time. Just think about it — you’ll know where you need to go for those highly-anticipated snacks instead of wandering around aimlessly when you’re already hangry. Spoon for One More And breakfast, lunch, and dinner? No need to spend extra time looking for places with Mobile Orders or dining reservations — when you plan ahead, you’ll be ready to go come meal time. Perusing the menu before your visit can also shave some time off of your meal length, meaning you get to enjoy more hours checking out rides and attractions in the park. One Word: PRIORITIZE The shorter your trip, the more organized you’ll need to be in your planning. On a two-day trip, you won’t really get the luxury of doing things at a leisurely pace. You’ll need to decide ahead of time which rides you want to do, which places you want to eat, and what the overall goal of your trip is. Slinky Dog Dash If one person in your party is a chill vacationer while the other is a run-and-ride type of person, you’ll find yourselves having a difficult time making decisions when you get into the park. Have that discussion ahead of time so no one is left disappointed and you can make the most of your time! Park Hop When it Makes Sense First of all, don’t try to overdo it — Park Hopping to more than two parks in a day will mean that you’re probably spending an excessive amount of time on Disney transportation. It takes around 45 minutes-an hour to hop between the parks (counting transportation and exiting and entering), so the more times you move around, the more time you’re wasting. Disney’s Hollywood Studios You’ll also want to be smart about which parks you hop between. Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom are a good pairing because Animal Kingdom has fewer attractions while Magic Kingdom has a BUNCH. On the other hand, EPCOT and Hollywood Studios pair well together because they have multiple transportation options between them — including the Friendship Boats, a walking path (be warned, it’s pretty long!), and the Disney Skyliner. With those two, you’ll likely be spending less time on transportation. Consider Budgeting for Extras Now it’s time to discuss a possibly controversial solution — Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. If you’re only visiting for a few days, paying to skip the lines for rides may not be a bad idea! Genie+ pricing starts at $15 per person, per day, but it might save you hours of time waiting in line, especially if you pick the right attractions for your Lightning Lanes and use them to their full potential. Lightning Lane signs For the more popular rides, you can pay individually to access the Lightning Lanes. These include Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Avatar Flight of Passage. These prices also vary depending on the date, but paying for access to these Lightning Lanes might help you skip a 2-hour wait or more. Use Early and Extended Hours If you’re staying at a Disney World resort, make use of those early and extended hours! For Early Theme Park Entry, Disney resort guests get into every park 30 minutes before other guests each day. You can use that time to hop in line for the most popular ride before it gets a long wait later in the day. Early Entry Sign And then for guests of Deluxe Resorts, make sure to look at the Extended Evening Hours schedule. On select nights at select parks, you can stay 2 hours later than the regular day guests and continue riding rides. That’s a big perk! Decide if Fireworks Are a Priority This might be divisive, but do you REALLY need to watch fireworks? If you’ve already seen the shows before or you’re not a big “entertainment person” you might consider skipping the shows in favor of hopping in line for rides. We’ve seen wait times for things like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Frozen Ever After dip significantly during that time window. Disney Enchantment If you’re at Magic Kingdom, wait times will start to dip as early as an hour before the fireworks, due to guests staking out their spots ahead of time. If you pick the right attractions, you might be able to knock out a couple of things in that time frame! Avoid Backtracking at All Costs If you’re only traveling for a short time, avoid going back to your hotel room during the day if you can. It’ll be worth it to carry all the extra necessities in your backpack if it means you can avoid the 2-hour trip out of the park, on the bus, back to the room, and so on. Grand Floridian Resort DVC Studio This means — be prepared for a VARIETY of scenarios! Pack that poncho or rain jacket. Bring a backup pair of shoes if you’re not sure about yours. Always, ALWAYS pack a phone charger and a power bank. Whatever you need to do to avoid backtracking! Just Keep Swimming! And lastly, just keep swimming, as Dory would say! Know that everything may not go according to plan, but don’t stress or stop and ruminate if your plans go awry. Have backup options in place, or maintain a flexible schedule in case of unexpected weather, heavy crowds, or some other condition out of your control. Disney’s Animal Kingdom We’ve experienced everything from sickness to ride breakdowns during our trips, and sometimes, you just have to roll with it and remember to be thankful that you’re in Disney World. Be patient and remember that you’re really there to spend time with your loved ones! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad There you go — how to do Disney World in just two days! It’s a tall order, but it’s certainly not impossible. And as long as you plan ahead and do some research, it should be an amazing trip.

It’s officially the holiday season in Disneyland — we know because the holiday decorations are up and there is almost nothing but holiday merchandise in the shops! Grandma’s Recipes We’ve also seen “it’s a small world” with its holiday overlay. But the most important event of the holidays, the Festival of Holidays, has arrived in Disney California Adventure (the food booths opened early!) and we’re ready to EAT some holiday snacks. So let’s head on over to a food booth to see what’s shaking! We are headed over to Grandma’s Recipes to see if these really are as good as our own Grandma’s holiday recipes. Menu The menu here is based on classic Grandma-inspired foods. You’ll find two food items and two drinks. 2022 Menu So let’s get to tasting! Food We started with the Impossible Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes with Classic Gravy and Crispy Shallots for $8. As the name implies, this is made without meat, offering up a plant-based option for festival goers. IMPOSSIBLE Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes with classic gravy and crispy shallots Here’s the thing, though — if we hadn’t seen the name, we would’ve had no idea this wasn’t real meat. The flavors and texture were perfect. The mashed potatoes were also GREAT! We know it doesn’t look the prettiest, but it actually tasted really good. Meatloaf lovers, you shouldn’t miss this! IMPOSSIBLE Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes with classic gravy and crispy shallots Now it’s time for a little something sweet. The Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake for $7 is made with Layers of New York-style Cheesecake, Pumpkin Gooey Cake, and Graham Cracker, topped with Spiced Chantilly and a Chocolate Decoration. BUT ours was lacking the chocolate decoration. Pumpkin Layer Cheesecake However, this was a delicious treat. It tasted a lot like pumpkin pie and was smooth and creamy, and it didn’t overtly have heavy spice flavors. The graham cracker crust is thin but flavorful. Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake Overall, we really liked it! But now we need to wash down that food, so how about some drinks? Drinks The Blood Orange Pom-Limeade for $6.59 is made with Pomegranate and Lime Juices and Cookie Butter & Blood Orange Syrups, garnished with a Lime Wheel. Okay, so the cookie butter syrup is a CHOICE, and we weren’t sure about it (we even asked a Cast Member to confirm it was in there). However, you can’t really taste it. The drink itself was FANTASTIC! It was tart and sweet — a really good flavor combo. Blood Orange Pom Limeade We also go the Hummingbird Cocktail for $15. It’s made with Bourbon, Créme de Banana Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, Banana Purée, Butter Pecan Syrup, Cinnamon Sugar, Demerara Sugar, and Vanilla Bean, garnished with a Pineapple Wedge. Sure, this might be a holiday festival, but those are tropical flavors, and we LOVED it. It’s very easy to drink, and that could be a good or bad thing, depending. Hummingbird Cocktail However, the banana flavor is a little strong, so you really need to like banana for this one. Overall Last year, this booth was kind of hit-and-miss, but this year, it’s pretty much a full hit! We loved both food offerings, as well as the drinks. It’s also nice to have another meatless option available at the festival. Full spread We’ll be covering EVERY food booth at the Festival of Holidays in California Adventure, so be sure to keep checking back for more reviews.

Festival of Holidays is BACK at Disney California Adventure in Disneyland Resort. The party officially starts on November 11th (and runs through January 8th, 2023), but some of the food booths opened EARLY this year, so of course we were there to try out the new eats. Disney California Adventure We’ve already tried out some curry mac ‘n’ cheese as well as a new chocolate bourbon-flavored tart. Now, it’s on to a booth that’s all about SLIDERS! As its name implies, Winter Sliderland is home to various holiday-themed sliders! So if your favorite vibe is football game snacks, this is the spot for you. Winter Sliderland Booth 2022 The entire menu is new at this booth — let’s take a look! Menu For eats, you can get the Holiday Ham Slider for $9 or the Brisket Slider (also $9). Winter Sliderland Menu The drinks menu includes a Cherry-Mango Punch ($6.50), Tiramisu Yule Log Cocktail ($16), and a Purple Mickey Jingle Bell Glow Cube ($6). Eats First, we tried the Holiday Ham Slider, which is ham, cranberry-bacon jam, and Gruyère cheese on a salt and pepper brioche bun for $9. Holiday Ham Slider This was our favorite thing at this booth and one of the best things we ate all night! You get a very generous portion of ham on this slider, and the cheese on top is nice and melty. The cranberry jam is a little bit tart and a little bit sweet, and overall it’s just a great combination of flavors. We loved the bun as well — it wasn’t too salty, and we loved the hint of pepper it brought to the slider. Holiday Ham Slider Next up is the Brisket Slider, which is made with brisket, smoked onions, and horseradish ketchup on a pretzel roll for $9. Brisket Slider This slider was a bit of a “swing and a miss” for us. The brisket was very smokey (almost too much so), and the onions and horseradish toppings overpowered the flavor of the meat. However, the pretzel roll was delicious, and when we had some of the brisket on its own with the roll, we really enjoyed it! Drinks To drink, we first went for the non-alcoholic Cherry-Mango Punch, which is made with cherry syrup, mango, and peach nectars with lemon juice and garnished with a frozen peach. You can get it for $6.50. Cherry-Mango Punch We loved this drink! It was heavy on the peach flavor (that probably should’ve been in the name instead of the cherry and mango) — it tasted almost like a peach Shirley Temple. It was super refreshing but still not too sweet. Cherry Mango Punch For the 21+ crowd out there, you can get the Tiramisu Yule Log Cocktail, which has vodka, hazelnut liqueur, oat milk, tiramisu syrup, and chocolate bitters, garnished with Valrhona chocolate powder. It costs $16. (You can add the Purple Mickey Jingle Bell Glow Cube to either drink for an additional $6.) Tiramisu Yule Log Cocktail This drink is like Christmas in a cup. Our ideal situation would be to be sipping on this tasty cocktail in front of a warm fire while it’s snowing outside — it has amazing cozy vibes. Tiramisu Yule Log Cocktail The drink itself isn’t too strong, and you get just a hint of chocolate. All of the flavors work well together, and we liked that it wasn’t too sweet. Overall In general, there were some big hits at the Winter Sliderland booth! Although we didn’t love that brisket slider, the Holiday Ham Slider was one of our favorite snacks at the entire festival. Both drinks were very tasty as well, and even though there were only 2 options, they cover both warm and fruity flavors between them as well as both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is one of Disney World’s most popular events of the year — and for good reason! Christmastime is here! We were at the very first party of the season taking in all the entertainment, eating all the snacks, and having a jolly old time. The party has been sold out on several nights for quite a while, but now it looks like there are still tickets available for one previously sold-out night — tonight!

If you’ve ever sailed on Disney Cruise Line, there’s a high likelihood that you’ve visited Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. Castaway Cay The little paradise is teeming with fun activities, from snorkeling to banana boat rides to bike rentals and more. There are multiple beaches with swimming and lounge chairs, as well as play areas for the kids and restaurants to enjoy a seaside bite. But before there was Castaway Cay, there was another island…one that FAILED. Back before the days of Disney Cruise Line, Disney had a partnership with Premier Cruise Lines. Premier was started by two men who wanted to make the cruise industry more accessible for families, because, at that time, it was mostly a vacation for the wealthy. Premier started its journey in 1983, subsequently buying the Oceanic and refurbishing it in a “not-so-luxurious” fashion. Disney Dream Around that time, Disney was looking to add some variety to vacation offerings, so they partnered with Premier Cruise Lines to offer “Land and Sea” vacations at Walt Disney World. Then in 1985, Disney characters began making appearances on the Oceanic (commonly known as “The Big Red Boat”), and Disney-themed onboard activities were offered. Eventually the land and sea vacation model became so popular that they added two new ships — the Majestic and the Atlantic. ©ShipSpotting.com | The Atlantic With this popularity, Premier Cruise Lines was in need of more hot-ticket destinations for sailing. They had stops at Freeport and Nassau, but the next step came in the form of a private island at Great Guana Cay in the Bahamas. The place was named Treasure Island, but it had some problems right from the start. In order to create a channel for the ships to get close to the island, Disney and Premier Cruise Lines had to dredge the bay. However, the dredging was unsuccessful, because the tides just kept refilling the dredged area with silt over and over again. Therefore, Disney abandoned the island, leaving the structures behind that had been built there. ©Bright Sun Films | Treasure Island Disney went on to build Castaway Cay in the late 1990s and the Disney Magic set sail in 1998, joined by the Disney Wonder shortly after. Premier Cruise Lines struggled after Disney pulled out, due in part to their older, smaller ships. The company went bankrupt in 2000. However, they started a trend of family cruising that has made the entire tourism industry more accessible for families to this day! Disney Magic And now, Disney’s in the process of constructing a SECOND private island. Lighthouse Point will also be situated in The Bahamas, located in Eleuthera, where you will able to explore the natural world around you. With this new construction, Disney is taking a special interest in conservation, creating good economic opportunities for the area, and strengthening the community. ©Disney Lighthouse Point construction began earlier this year, and the website for the island notes that it’s scheduled to be operational in the first half of 2024. We can’t wait to check it out on a Disney Cruise Line sailing in the future. The concept art has definitely piqued our interest! ©Disney We’ll continue to watch progress on Lighthouse Point, hoping that it’s a bigger success than Disney’s old Treasure Island. With more ships being constructed for Disney Cruise Line and more destinations added, there are a lot of reasons to sail these days. Disney just launched the Disney Wish in the summer of 2022, and it has been quite popular since. The new ship has new dining options, entertainment, and activities for a variety of guests. We got to sail on the ship before its maiden voyage, so check out our coverage if you’re interested in the Disney Wish as a vacation option!

It’s been an interesting week at Disney World, to say the least. The crowd in Hollywood Studios before Tropical Storm Nicole With Tropical Storm Nicole on the way, we saw the Orlando International Airport close, and the Disney parks and Disney Springs soon followed suit. Disney World did reopen today, so let’s take a look at what things look like there now. Magic Kingdom reopened at 12PM today. When we arrived, it was still very windy and rainy, so the storm wasn’t completely gone from this area yet. Keep in mind that Disney World did adjust their cancellation policy for guests who wanted to cancel or delay trips during this time. So if you were planning on visiting Disney World today, be sure to contact guest services if you need to change your plans. Note that this will likely only be an option for a short time period. So what should you know if you’re visiting Disney World during hurricane season? Preparedness is always your best bet — plan for rainy weather and pack raincoats and ponchos. Here’s a good primer on what to do if you’re going to Disney World during a hurricane. Keep following DFB for more updates on all the latest Disney news!

The Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure will last from November 11th, 2022 through January 8th, 2023, and we were surprised to find that some booths opened EARLY! Festival of Holidays Decor Considering that snow was already on Sleeping Beauty Castle before Halloween, it makes sense that California is READY for the holidays, and we’re not gonna lie — we were excited to dig into the food. We’ve already found some BIG winners this year, so find out whether we found some new favorites at this next booth! We’re stopping by the Favorite Things booth for some of our, well, favorite things! Favorite Things Booth This booth features a chicken dish, cold brew, and a really cute dessert — so let’s check it out! Menu There are two food dishes on the menu at Favorite Things, including Chicken Tikka Masala for $7.50 and Mrs. Claus’ Hot Cocoa Macaron for $6.50. 2022 Favorite Things Menu And as for the drinks, you can choose from the alcoholic Churro Toffee Cold Brew Latte Cocktail for $16 or the non-alcoholic Churro Toffee Cold Brew Latte for $6.75. Eats We’re starting off with the Chicken Tikka Masala, which is made with cardamom basmati rice, lemon raita, cilantro, and garlic naan crumble. This dish was pretty good! It came with generous pieces of chicken and we loved the cardamom rice. The naan crumbles reminded us of little croutons and they added a great texture — nice and crunchy. Chicken Tikka Masala Next up is Mrs. Claus’ Hot Cocoa Macaron, which was inspired by the Disney+ series The Santa Clauses, features a red macaron filled with chocolate hot cocoa filling and ganache finished with a chocolate decoration. This surprisingly tasted a lot like hot cocoa! The texture was nice too, and the chocolate advertisement for The Santa Clauses was kind of funny. Mrs. Claus’ Hot Cocoa Macaron Now let’s wash our meal down with some coffee! Drinks The Churro Toffee Coffee Cold Brew Latte is made with Joffrey’s Mexican Cofee, demerara sugar, cinnamon sugar, vanilla bean, and almond milk, garnished with churro syrup, whipped cream, and chocolate toffee crumbles. This drink was SUPER sweet but it didn’t taste artificial and we really enjoyed it! Non-Alcoholic Churro Toffee Cold Brew Latte The churro and chocolate flavor combo were delicious and pretty well balanced, although the churro taste did stand out a bit more than the chocolate. This drink is also a lot cheaper than the alcoholic version, so keep that in mind if your festival budget is limited. Overall Overall, there’s kind of a wide mix of flavors at this booth, from the chicken to the macaron to the churro cold brew, so it might be a good place to stop if everyone in your group is in the mood for something different! The Chicken Tikka Masala is a solid choice and fans of hot cocoa who are also excited about The Santa Clauses might really like the macaron. And don’t forget the Churro Toffee Coffee Cold Brew Latte, a delicious marriage of churros and chocolate in the form of COFFEE. Favorite Things Spread We’ll be checking out more booths soon so make sure you keep checking back with DFB for all your updates and reviews from the festival. And don’t forget to visit our Festival of Holidays page before your visit, so you can see all the booths, menus, reviews, and more! Learn more about the 2022 Festival of Holidays right here!

There are some exciting changes happening at Disneyland, like new characters in Avengers Campus, a Splash Mountain makeover, and a revamp of Mickey’s Toontown. Adventureland in Disneyland park Another change happening is over in Adventureland at Tarzan’s Treehouse. The treehouse, which has been themed to Tarzan since 1999, has been closed since September of 2022. We’ve known that it would be re-themed, but we did not know what the new concept would be — until now! We FINALLY know what’s going on with the treehouse in Dinseyland park! Disney just revealed that the treehouse in Adventureland will pay tribute to the original treehouse Walt Disney and his Imagineers built in 1962 for the move Swiss Family Robinson. It will return in a “fresh, new way” at Disneyland park in 2023! Tarzan’s Treehouse The Adventureland Treehouse will show “wondrous new environments created amongst the branches of a giant tree on the shores of the Jungle River.” Guests will also be able to enter by the giant waterwheel and go up the wood rope stairways into the tree. ©Disney Inside the treehouse, you will find rooms that the family created in this new story. The mother will have a music den, the son a nature room, and the daughter an astronomer’s loft. All of these things are made with found objects, natural resources, and “pure ingenuity.” ©Disney If you’d rather not go up in the tree, you can also check out the bottom floor of the treehouse, which will have an “ingenious” kitchen and dining room, as well as the father’s art studio. The studio will show hand-drawn sketches and paintings of each other rooms! Work happening on the treehouse Disney says that Walt Disney Imagineers are “hard at work and delighted to bring this classic back in a fresh way, full of magic, enchantment, and wonder.” Transformation of Tarzans Treehouse Disney did not share the official opening date or season besides saying that it will be coming next year, in 2023. We’ll let you know more about the treehouse when Disney releases more information!

If you think you’ll be missing your usual homecooked meal, this might just be the place to go! In addition they will also be serving a less traditional item, called their Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich. Just as it sounds, this sandwich includes stuffing, cranberry sauce, and sliced roasted turkey breast. You can enjoy this sandwich only on November 24th. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant Despite their Irish roots, Raglan Road is another spot to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner! Only on November 24th can you order favorites like butter and herb roast turkey, roast garlic mashed potatoes, duck fat roasties, honey-glazed carrots, bacon braised brussel sprouts, and others. City Works Eatery & Pour House Only on Thanksgiving will you be able to enjoy their Herb Roasted Turkey, along with other dishes like creamy mashed potatoes, traditional stuffing, roasted brussels sprouts with bacon lardons, corn casserole, and gravy. Planet Hollywood On Thanksgiving dine at Planet Hollywood to enjoy a traditional feast of sliced, oven-roasted, all-white meat turkey topped with gravy and served with homemade garlic mashed potatoes, southern-style cornbread stuffing, green bean blend, and cranberry sauce. If you prefer prime rib, you can upgrade. Wine Bar George Only on November 24th, sit down to a Thanksgiving dinner of roasted turkey breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, seasonal vegetables, and cranberry sauce. ©Disney Thanksgiving Dinner – Multiple Locations Disney World is offering a set Thanksgiving meal of roasted turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, seasonal vegetables, and cranberry relish. This will only be available on November 24th, 2022, and can be mobile ordered. You can find this menu at the following locations: Intermission Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort World Premiere Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort End Zone Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Centertown Market at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Contempo Café at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort Riverside Mill and Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside and French Quarter The Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Roaring Fork at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Additional Info In past years, we’ve found that many of Disney’s World’s table service restaurants will offer at least some form of turkey on Thanksgiving day, even if they don’t announce it ahead of time. Last year, we saw turkey-based options at D-Luxe Burger, The Daily Poutine, Enzo’s Hideaway, The Edison, and some other locations around the parks that haven’t announced their menus yet but might still offer some sort of Thanksgiving dish. Thanksgiving Dinner at The Edison in 2020 What you can find here is what different Disney World locations have released so far, but there might be more announcements to come. If the location you were thinking of dining at isn’t on this list but you’re curious to see if they have any seasonal offerings, just make sure to ask when you arrive at the restaurant about any specials while you’re there. You never know what you might find! Dining Reservations Keep in mind that Disney World will most likely be crowded during the week of Thanksgiving. There will probably be fewer restaurant openings, and although there are still some spots available at the moment, you’re better off booking any dining reservations you’re eyeing as soon as possible! Thanksgiving crowds from last year! If you aren’t able to snag a reservation, don’t worry. Keep checking your My Disney Experience app for any potential openings from last minute cancellations. If you make it to the parks still without a reservation, try using the Walk-Up Waitlist, also found in the My Disney Experience app. This lets you join a waitlist and if an opening appears you’ll be notified. We hope you enjoy your holiday at the parks! To check out reviews for other restaurants around Disney World, download this free document that includes snacks too! Need Disney Restaurant Advice?

A fun festival has just begun in Disney California Adventure park over at Disneyland Resort! Festival of Holidays Decor Festival of Holidays has returned for the holiday season, and it runs from November 11, 2022 through January 8, 2023. And, the food booths actually opened up EARLY! We’ve been checking out all of the new and returning food items, and there’s one booth that’s back for the first time in years. So, come along with us to check out what’s going on at Visions of Sugarplums! Visions of Sugarplums first debuted at the festival in 2018 but hasn’t been seen since — until now! Visions of Sugarplums And, there’s a new item on the menu, so come along with us to check everything out. Menu Once of the food items on the menu is returning, while the other is new. Menu The returning item is the Sweet Potato-stuffed Corn Muffin and the new item is a dessert — a Chocolate Bourbon-flavored Tart! Menu There are also some drinks on the menu, which are both returning. They include the Cranberry-Chai Pisco Punch and the Piña-Hibiscus Mezcal Mule, which is similar to an item we saw at the Favorite Things booth last year. Eats We’re ready to dig in! 2022 Spread We started out with the Sweet Potato-stuffed Corn Muffin with red beans, rice, and green onions for $7.25. Yum! This was a really great item! The corn bread is very moist and the sweet potato filling is creamy and tasty, making it a great combo. Would you try this? The beans and rice also have some nice flavor, and they’re topped with some green onions, but they’re not the star of the show here — the corn bread muffin is! However, they do help make this item more filling. Sweet Potato-stuffed Corn Muffin with red beans, rice, and green onions Next, we got the NEW Chocolate Bourbon-flavored Tart for $7. This is made with layers of caramel and chocolate bourbon-flavored mousse made with TWIX cookie bar pieces. Chocolate Bourbon-flavored Tart made with TWIX Cookie Bar Pieces: Layers of caramel and chocolate bourbon-flavored mousse made with TWIX Cookie Bar pieces This dessert was good, but not great — we don’t think we’d get it a second time. The chocolate and caramel are both smooth and taste good, but we’re not sure if the tart really needed the added bourbon flavor. We could’ve done without it. The crust was very flaky and not too dry though, which was nice! Festive! Now, let’s have a drink! Drinks Now, time for some drinks! We went with the Piña-Hibiscus Mezcal Mule, which has Mezcal, pineapple-ginger-lemon purée, pineapple, lemon juices, hibiscus syrup, and ginger beer that’s garnished with a pineapple wheel for $15. So pretty! In our drink we also got the Purple Mickey Jingle Bell Glow Cube for $6! This is available at several of the booths at this year’s festival. Glow Cube We were not a fan of this drink, it was way too smoky for us! That’s due to the mezcal, which usually has a smoky flavor, but there are certainly different levels. Piña-Hibiscus Mezcal Mule The pineapple was very fresh, though, which helped the drink out and contrasted the smoky flavor. If you like smoky-flavored things, you’ll probably enjoy this! But if you don’t, we’d steer clear. It certainly will look pretty in pictures, though Also available at this booth is the Cranberry-Chai Pisco Punch, which has South American brandy, cranberry, and lemon juices with cranberry and chai syrups that’s garnished with a lemon wheel for $15. Overall Overall, this booth has some interesting flavors that either elevate or ruin a dish, totally depending on your flavor preferences! The Sweet Potato-stuffed Corn Muffin was easily our favorite thing we tried, and we would definitely go back and get it again. That’s probably also the best item for pickier eaters, if that’s something you’re looking for. The tart would’ve been better without the bourbon, in our opinion, and we found the mule to be way too smoky for us. But, if you love mezcal, you might like it, so don’t write it off! It does have some other flavors that were really fresh. Would you try this spot?
