Central Florida has been hit hard by the hurricane season this year. Hurricane Ian in Disney World First, Hurricane Ian caused heavy rainfall, winds, flooding, and closures at Disney World back in September. Now, Tropical Storm Nicole is on its way, and there are some important Disney World updates you need to know if you’re traveling currently or soon. Due to the storm, Disney World has announced a change in its cancelation policy temporarily. At this time, guests may cancel or reschedule their trips, and all cancelation fees will be waived. Cinderella Castle Disney is closely monitoring the weather and making decisions based on the projected impact. At this time, the theme parks are beginning a phased closure at 5PM on Wednesday, November 9th that will last through the morning of Thursday, November 10th. The theme parks will likely not open at their regularly scheduled times on Thursday. Cloudy day in Animal Kingdom Disney Springs will be closing early on November 9th at 7PM, and the last dinner reservations will be at 6:30PM. It will remain closed through Thursday morning. Bus transportation from Disney Springs to the resorts will operate until 8PM on the 9th. Disney Springs As far as hotels go, guests staying at Fort Wilderness and guests staying at the Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs will be required to depart by 3PM on November 9th.

There are so many ways to celebrate the holiday season in Disney World — and not all of them require a ticket. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party If you have the budget, you can check out all the decorations inside each Disney Park, or even buy a ticket for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but you can also enjoy some of the most iconic holiday displays inside Disney World hotels! One such display is now officially open and we’re taking you with us to check it out. The life-size gingerbread house in Disney’s Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa is officially OPEN! You can find it in the lobby of the Grand Floridan this holiday season. Also, from 9:30AM to 9PM, you can shop for some special treats! The Gingerbread House is OPEN! This gingerbread house truly is enormous, and it’s quite a sight! If you have time to stop by Grand Floridian during your holiday visit, it’s totally worth it. You can also go big with a Grand Gift Box for $60 or even get the 50th Gingerbread House for $85. Click here to see what we thought of some of the treats! So many treats! The gingerbread house treats shop will be open every day from 9:30AM to 9PM, and if you’re visiting Disney World this holiday season it might be worth it to stop by and check it out! Note that you can still see the gingerbread house outside of those hours — you just can’t shop for treats. So pretty Remember that the Grand Floridian is a short Monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom, and stopping by can be a great opportunity to take a break from a busy park day. If you keep riding the Monorail, you can also catch the gingerbread display at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and if you’re visiting EPCOT, you can also take a short walk to Disney’s Beach Club for the gingerbread carousel.

Most people are aware of how expensive it can be to visit Disney World — but some of those expenses can (and SHOULD) be avoided. What do YOU bring to the parks? Whether you prefer a strict budget or are more open to making spontaneous financial decisions, there are definitely some pricey mistakes that you don’t want to make. But don’t stress! We’re here to tell you what we’d NEVER buy again, and hopefully, you’ll avoid making the same choices. Separately Ticketed Events Although many of Disney World’s After Hours Parties sound like a ton of fun, the truth is that you’re spending quite a big amount for a short window of time in the park for a few special perks and entertainment. If you want to spend the whole day in the parks, you’ll end up needing TWO separate tickets for the day. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets Holiday parties like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party take place typically from 7PM to midnight on select evenings, and although you can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4PM with a party ticket, you’d need a separate park ticket to gain entry before then. Party tickets have ranged from around $109 all the way to $199, which means for a single adult you’d be looking at spending around $250-$350 for a SINGLE day in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom closes at 6PM for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party If you still have your heart set on those exclusive party offerings (which can be really great!) but don’t have a hefty budget, there are ways to cut corners on the costs. For example, the cost of party tickets varies depending on the day, and the closer you get to the holiday the more expensive they can be. Select the earlier dates with the cheapest party tickets to shave off some cost, or choose weekdays that tend to be cheaper. ©Disney And you don’t HAVE to spend your whole day in a Disney Park before the party! Instead of purchasing a park ticket AND a party ticket, you could instead spend most of your day at your hotel or in Disney Springs, and then enter the park as early as you can — which is typically 4PM for most After Hours events. You can still ride rides during most parties, so you don’t even necessarily have to miss out on that part of your visit! Cinderella Castle during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Ultimately, you don’t HAVE to attend a party. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy the holidays around Disney World without paying for a separately ticketed event, with the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs, gingerbread displays in various hotels, and even ride overlays like the Jingle Cruise or the special holiday soundtrack you can hear on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. The holidays in Disney World Think about what you want to do most before deciding that an After Hours event is an absolute must-do. Disney World upgrades you think are TOTALLY worth the money! All the Things at EPCOT Festivals We love a good EPCOT Festival but keep in mind that you can EASILY overspend a ridiculous amount in a single day. From scavenger hunts to food walks to all the delicious dishes to try, your budget could explode if you’re not careful. EPCOT Food & Wine Festival One of the best ways to avoid overspending is to plan ahead. Know what food booths you want to visit and what dishes you must try, avoid extra costs like the scavenger hunts or food walks, and set a budget ahead of time by purchasing gift cards. You can limit yourself to whatever amount is on your gift card, and you can even keep track of your balance via your receipt. That’s not a huge portion either. If you do want to participate in food walks, you can buddy up with a friend or a group to share the costs! Food walks typically task you with purchasing a select amount of dishes listed on your festival passport, and it can add up quickly if you’re spending your own money. But if you share with a friend or two, everyone can get a taste — and share the cost. The Cheese Crawl! With festival scavenger hunts, you can purchase a game board and stickers for around $9 to $10 and receive a prize. You don’t HAVE to complete the scavenger hunt to get a prize, and you can also participate in the scavenger hunt without buying a game board. It’s really up to you whether the souvenir is worth it! 2022 Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt Game Board Whatever you do, make sure you review the festival menus and reviews (depending on when you visit!) before visiting, so that you know exactly what you want to prioritize. THREE budget plans for EPCOT festivals! Disney Genie+ EVERY Day As much as Genie+ can be an asset to your day in Disney World, you don’t really need it for EVERY day of your visit — nor for every ride. When it costs between $15 to $22 per person, per day, that amount can add up really fast. Genie+ ©Disney Genie+ gives you access to select ride Lightning Lanes for a single day, and there are also rides that can only be purchased a la carte for an additional fee. Make sure you review which rides are in which category so that you can budget accordingly. Expedition Everest Lightning Lane Essentially, you need to ask yourself which rides are absolutely necessary for you to ride, and you also need to strategize your Genie+ purchase to get your money’s worth. You can purchase Genie+ on a daily basis, and you can begin making Lightning Lane reservations as early as 7AM. So don’t sleep through your alarm clock! And if you forget to buy Genie+ or get to the park and realize lines are LONG, it might not be worth it to buy Genie+ later in the day. By that time, many Lightning Lanes may be sold out. Splash Mountain Lightning Lane If it’s a busy time of year and rides are absolutely must-do for you, Genie+ could be a worthy purchase. But if you’re visiting during a quiet time of year and don’t care about rides, that’s when Genie+ might not be necessary. We’ve also experienced days in Disney’s Animal Kingdom where we really didn’t need Genie+, when most of the ride wait times didn’t exceed 60 minutes. Expedition Everest with a 15-minute wait time If you do decide to go for Genie+, we HIGHLY recommend learning as much about it as you can before your visit. It can be really complicated and you might feel like you wasted your money if you don’t know how to use it effectively. 7 things we’ve learned using Genie+ for a FULL year! Park Hopper Plus When buying your Disney World ticket, you have a few different options to choose from. Standard tickets include one park per day, Park Hoppers include the option to hop to another park after 2PM, and the Park Hopper Plus gets you access to all four parks AND the water parks, as well as a few additional experiences you can choose from per day. Tree of Life If you don’t care about water parks or golfing, don’t get the Park Hopper Plus. Also, right now, some of the extra experiences are limited, like the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is closed, only one water park is open (depending on when you visit), and the two mini golf courses only allow access before 4PM. Typhoon Lagoon If you’re planning to spend all your time in the parks or if you’re only visiting for a short time, you likely won’t have enough time to take advantage of those extra experiences, which you can also do in some cases without even purchasing the Park Hopper Plus ticket. But if you’re visiting during a cooler time of the year and have no interest in the water parks, you can probably skip this option. UPDATE on when Blizzard Beach will reopen! MagicBand+ Okay, hear us out. The MagicBand+ is really cool, but it’s WAY more expensive than the regular MagicBand that shares most of the same basic features. New MagicBand+ In case you missed it, Disney recently released the MagicBand+ that now features lights, haptics, and even some interactive elements inside the parks. But while a standard MagicBand typically costs somewhere between $19.99 and $29.99, a MagicBand+ costs between $34.99 and $44.99. Additionally, you may have to charge your MagicBand+ daily to use it! Willow If you don’t care about that or don’t have the budget to spend up to $44.99 on a band you can only really use in the parks, you might want to keep your regular old MagicBand, or use the Magic Mobile tool on the My Disney Experience app — or even on your Apple Watch! Magic Mobile If you plan to use your band often in the future, it might be worth it to you. But if it’s solely a once-a-year trip for you and you have no desire to charge your MagicBand every night, you can probably go ahead and save the cash for a different kind of souvenir. Everything you need to know about the MagicBand+! Silly Souvenirs And speaking of souvenirs, we’re the first to say that we love a good Disney souvenir — but there are a few that are definitely worth avoiding. Whether it’s something really big that you don’t want to have to carry around all day or something you’ll probably never use again, it’s a good idea to consider what kinds of souvenirs you actually want to take home. Disney merchandise For example, we’re looking at you, bubble wands! While they are fun to use in the parks, you quickly learn just how easily they leak, and if you place a wand upside down or on its side, it may just break entirely. Let’s not even get into how LOUD they are, and you can’t adjust the volume. Ariel Bubble Wands Another souvenir we tend to steer clear of are shoulder pets! These pets come with a tiny plush character and a magnetic base, and if you set the magnetic part inside your shirt you can stick the pet on the top of your shirt. Basically, it looks like your character is sitting on your shoulder. Orange Bird Shoulder Plush While they ARE admittedly cute, they’re also pricey at around $24.99 each, and they don’t work always stick as well as you’d think, especially depending on the type of shirt you’re wearing. They also don’t really work with backpack straps, which can be annoying. But we do know, some little ones love them! So it’s really a preference thing. The BEST Disney World souvenirs for every budget! These are just a few things you may want to think through before your trip to Disney World. You may not want make the same mistakes we made and save your Disney World cash for other things! But we do know that what works for us may be very different for you and your family. These are just money spending things you may want to keep in mind. Keep following DFB for more Disney World news and updates! How to do Disney World on a budget in 2022 and 2023!

It’s the most wonderful time… of the year! The festive season is quickly approaching, which means that the Disney parks are kicking into holiday high gear. Snow-topped Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland During Disney’s Halfway to the Holidays event, we got the news that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will be returning to Magic Kingdom in Disney World and Festival of Holidays will be returning to Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. Festival of Holidays will run from November 11th, 2022, to January 8th, 2023, and will feature new and returning entertainment, activities, and perhaps most importantly: food! Disney recently released the menus for this year’s Festival of Holidays booths, so let’s take a look! There are 9 festival marketplaces this year along with festival offerings at several other food locations around Disney California Adventure. There will be a LOT of new dishes this year, like the Twix Chocolate Bourbon Tart at the Visions of Sugarplums booth, the Curry Mac & Cheese and Guava-Melon Lassi at the A Twist on Tradition booth, and the Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake at the Grandma’s Recipes booth. Grandma’s Recipes 2022 There will also be some items that are returning from previous years like the Impossible Chorizo Queso Fundido with House-made Tortilla Chips at the Brews & Bites booth, the Pork Belly Adobo at the Holiday duets booth, and the Mickey-shaped Gingerbread Cookie at the Grandma’s Recipes booth. Chorizo Fundido | 2019 Most of the booths have 1-2 snack items with a few drink options as well (although a couple of booths have LONG drink menus, like the Making Spirits Bright and Brews & Bites booths). Click here to see ALL of the 2022 Festival of Holidays booths, menus, and food photos! As in past years, the Sip and Savor pass will be available for purchase. The pass consists of a commemorative credential, lanyard, and 8 coupons which can be redeemed at the Festive Foods Marketplaces for one food item or non-alcoholic beverage. The Sip and Savor pass usually costs between $50-$60 (it was $56 in 2021). Sip and Savor Pass Don’t forget to grab your tasting passport to help you keep track of everything you want to try at the festival, too! But food isn’t the only thing to do at the Festival of Holidays. There will be entertainment like the holiday overlay of World of Color called World of Color — Season of Light and you can even meet Santa at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail.

It’s time! We’re at the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and we’re ready to EAT. It’s back! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a special after-hours event held in Magic Kingdom on select evenings in November and December from 7PM to midnight, and in addition to all the festive entertainment, there are also some exclusive treats available. We’re stopping by a classic ice cream spot for two new eats! Available exclusively at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are two NEW sweet treats from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor! We’re starting with the Peppermint Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae, made with peppermint ice cream, hot fudge, and candy cane pieces served on a brownie for $8.29. So festive This was a tasty brownie sundae! The peppermint ice cream was pretty much the same as the one we had over at Sleepy Hollow earlier this night — sweet and not too minty. We really enjoyed it! The brownie was heavy on the fudge in a good way and there was also a lot of hot fudge on top of it! Do beware though that this treat melts very quickly, so eat it fast! Would you try this? It’s also very sweet, so if you don’t have a sweet tooth and love chocolate and peppermint, this isn’t for you. But if you do like those flavors, you should really enjoy this! Great for the holidays Next up is the Candy Cane Hot Cocoa, made with hot chocolate with peppermint ice cream, whipped cream, and candy cane pieces for $7.99. How fun! This hot cocoa was awesome! Our reporter said it was maybe her favorite thing she had the whole night. This is just a very classic well-made hot chocolate with sweet peppermint ice cream and little pieces of candy cane. Cute The Mickey marshmallow on top is absolutely adorable and makes this treat even more special! And, this marshmallow is pretty good — it’s a lot better than the marshmallow pops you find around Disney World. And, obviously, it works really well with the hot chocolate. Are you a hot chocolate fan? However, even though we loved this, we don’t know if we would recommend buying it. The thing is, you already get complimentary hot chocolate at the party and you can have as much as you want. It’s not peppermint flavored, but we’re not sure if the added stuff on this hot chocolate is worth the price when there’s a free option right there. Not sure if it’s worth it Also, if you don’t drink this hot chocolate fast, you end up with melted lukewarm ice cream and cold hot chocolate because the temperatures are competing with each other. So, it’s not a perfect treat, but it is definitely tasty if you enjoy these flavors. Unless you’re a big fan of peppermint in your hot chocolate, we’d probably say you should just stick with the free ones you get at the party!

Can you believe the holidays are already here?! The holidays are here! Yep, it might only be the beginning of November, but Disney is celebrating! We’ve already seen decorations go up in the parks, and tonight, we’re at the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party since 2019! We’re checking out everything the party has to offer. So, come along with us to try out a new dessert! This is the NEW Polar Bear Claw from Cool Ship in Magic Kingdom. It’s a chocolate hazelnut pastry with white and dark chocolate. Wendell’s Bear Claw is one of our absolute favorite Disney World treats, so we were excited to see how this one compares! Polar Bear Claw First things first — this was served cold, while we prefer our bear claws to be on the warmer side. So, right off the bat we weren’t super stoked. But, the pastry is flaky and soft, nice and buttery and not too sweet. The edges of the pastry were a little bit tough, but that could have just been the claw we had! Covered in white chocolate The chocolate filling was perfectly creamy and rich — it was really delicious. The white chocolate coating doesn’t add much in terms of flavor, and it made the pastry hard and almost tough to eat. We didn’t hate this bear claw, but it was not the best treat we tried at the party by far! We had high hopes for this! If you’re looking for a delicious bear claw in Magic Kingdom, you can occasionally find them at Main Street Bakery (get it warmed up!) and at Westward Ho — it’s served cold, but still delicious. This treat is ONLY available at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (which is happening on select dates between now and December 22nd), so you gotta get a ticket to the event if you wanna try it. You can get it for $6.50! Click here to check out ALL of the treats at the party this year!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is BACK and we’ve been celebrating all night long. Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade From treats to entertainment, we’ve been taking it all in — and we just so happened to spot a few souvenirs around Magic Kingdom that we weren’t expecting to see just yet! Disney didn’t release any exclusive merchandise for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year, but they did surprise us by dropping some holiday souvenirs a bit earlier than expected! We knew that some pretty epic popcorn buckets and a sipper would be released in the parks, but Disney announced that wouldn’t happen until November 11th. Luckily, they arrived early! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party You can now get your hands on the Musical Popcorn Tin in Magic Kingdom! Musical Popcorn Tin We spotted it at various Popcorn Carts around the park, and it’s available for $28. It plays music and spins, making this one of the coolest popcorn buckets we’ve ever seen. You can grab all three of these holiday items in Magic Kingdom now, and they’ll be available at various locations in Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom as well! If you spot them and want to get your hands on any of them — don’t wait! These items can sell out due to popularity. You can check out all the holiday popcorn buckets coming to Disney World here.

The time has come — it’s time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Welcome to the party! We’re at the very first party of the season bringing you along with us for ALL of the updates. We’re also trying a TON of holiday treats to kick off the holiday season! But now, it’s time to get into the entertainment! Characters After-hours parties are great opportunities to meet rare and unique characters that aren’t always available for meet and greets during the day. You’ll also get the opportunity to see characters from afar during things like the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration. Characters in the parade We also saw characters walking around like Tweedle Dee and Dum, who were wearing festive scarves while they met with guests near the Cheshire Café. We saw this happen a few years ago as well, so you might get to spot this rare parade during your visit if the weather acts up. Rainy Day Holiday Cavalcade in 2020 Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration On the Cinderella Castle stage, you’ll be able to watch the Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration Show! In the show, live dancers and performers will join Mickey & Friends to get you in the holiday season. Like the parade, this show was also first delayed due to bad weather, but it was ultimately canceled as well. Instead, a bunch of characters came out to do a shortened version of the show with a big musical number at the end! Replacement show Keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app during your visit to see updates about cancelations and delays. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks A Christmas party wouldn’t be complete without a fireworks show, and during the party you can see Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks! Christmas fireworks Minnie Mouse hosts the show where you can watch gorgeous fireworks while listening to festive music. So pretty! There are also lights and projections on the castle to match the theme. Club Tinsel Get out your dancing shoes and head to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, because that’s where you’ll find Club Tinsel! Club Tinsel There’s a DJ there who is hosting a dance party, so you can enjoy the tunes while you snack on some holiday treats or jump up and join in the dance party! A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas You don’t want to miss the next entertainment option — A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas. This stage show features some fan-favorite characters including Mike Wazowski, Stitch, and Buzz Lightyear! Totally Tomorrowland Christmas During the day, these characters make appearances on the stage, but during the party, they are part of a show. Disney Junior Jingle Jam Over at Storybook Circus, you can participate in the Disney Junior Jingle Jam! It’s a party! Here you can dance around with Disney Junior characters including Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, Doc McStuffins, and The Lion Guard. We also spotted Goofy dressed as Santa Claus at this party! Santa Goofy As you can tell, there are plenty of characters and entertainment to check out during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! There are still tickets available for this event, but they are selling out quickly, so grab them now if you want to attend. We’ll continue to bring you updates from the party, so stay tuned!

The holidays have OFFICIALLY begun in Disney World — it’s the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is back! If you’re looking for an exclusive holiday offering in Disney World, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a separately ticketed event in Magic Kingdom, featuring special holiday entertainment on select evenings in November and December. The party lasts from 7PM to midnight and amid all the festive celebrations and entertainment, you can also enjoy some exclusive treats! We’re taking you with us to try not one but THREE holiday menu items, and if you like sweets, you’ll want to hear about these. These three treats are only available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments. We’re starting out with the new Funnel Cake Sundae, made with peppermint ice cream, M&M’S chocolate candies, and hot fudge served on funnel cake for $8.49. New sundae The peppermint ice cream on this funnel cake is pretty tasty! It has a nice peppermint flavor without tasting like toothpaste. It was also very sweet. Yum! The M&Ms added a nice crunch and the hot fudge was a great compliment to the peppermint flavor. The funnel cake itself is just a regular funnel cake. The combo of the peppermint and hot fudge reminded us of the peppermint mocha drink from Starbucks, so if you like that, you will probably like this! Would you eat this? If you love chocolate and peppermint together, grab this treat at the party. And, it’s big enough to share! We recommend! Next up is the new Sandy Claws Peppermint Mousse Treat, which comes with white chocolate peppermint mousse with a chocolate fudge center, chocolate Santa hat, and a Jack Skellington face for $7.99. Spooky! This treat tasted like a York peppermint patty at first, and then like more of a butter mint. It’s very minty, but the chocolate helped balance everything out. Jack Skellington It’s super sweet and rich, so it’s a good one to share. The theming is also so fun! We love seeing Jack Skellington for both Halloween and the holidays. See his Santa hat? And finally, the Apple Cider Float is back, and it’s made with apple cider topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sprinkled with cinnamon for $5.99. This is delish! This float is delicious, especially if you’re a fan of apple cider. It has that nice crisp apple taste and the vanilla ice cream is really delicious once it’s melted down and mixed into the cider more. The cinnamon on top adds a nice holiday flavor. Do you like apple cider? This treat is pretty sweet, though! If you like apple cider, we would definitely recommend grabbing this one! But, if you don’t like apple cider, don’t waste your money on it. Another look Stick with us as we take you with us for everything there is to enjoy at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

It’s the most wonderful night of the year! Magic Kingdom We’re at the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party making our way through all the entertainment, merchandise, and of course — SNACKS. Over in Fantasyland, we’re checking out two NEW treats you won’t find anywhere but the party! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is home to plenty of exclusive eats, and we’re heading over to The Friar’s Nook in Fantasyland to see what they’re serving up! First up are the Curry Brat Tots — tots topped with chopped bratwurst, curry ketchup, and apple slaw for $11.49. Tots! These tots were perfectly cooked with lots of crunch and they didn’t get soggy from the toppings. The main flavor here was the curry ketchup, which pretty much tastes like regular ketchup with just a hint of curry. But, these weren’t spicy at all! Would you try these? The slaw didn’t have much flavor that we could pick out — we couldn’t really taste that it was apple. However, it did add a nice texture to the dish, mimicking the crunch of cabbage. The pink on top of the cream puff is also crunchy, so it balances the textures of this treat out well. Overall it’s sweet, but not too sweet. Inside the treat As long as you like things like cinnamon honey butter, this is a total winner! It looks AND tastes good. Another look They’re serving up some tasty treats at The Friar’s Nook for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Remember, these two items are ONLY available during the party. And, the snacks don’t stop there. We’re bringing you our review of all the tasty treats, so make sure you follow along!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is HERE. A crowded main street during the event! And you know what that means?! Loads of new holiday treats for us to enjoy! While some of the new treats are available to enjoy ALL day in Magic Kingdom, others are exclusive to the party. The Sugar Plum Shake from Auntie Gravity’s is one of the party-exclusive treats we are talking about. This means you have to have a ticket and be attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in order to get your hands on it. The Sugar Plum Shake is a spiced sugar plum soft serve topped with cherry syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles. Sugar Plum Shake This shake is definitely different but in a good way! You can certainly taste the sugarplum, which gives it a fruity taste with a hint of sweetness at the end of each sip. Yum! It’s very smooth too, and while we weren’t sure about it at first, we ended up loving it. If you’re a picky eater or prefer more straightforward, familiar flavors, this may not be the treat for you. But if you’re feeling adventurous, we think this is a brilliant choice! You can also find the Lock, Shock, and Barrel Sundae at Auntie Gravity’s. And the good thing about it is that it’s available all day long! So you can get it during your regular park day at Magic Kingdom or during the party! Lock, Shock, and Barrel Sundae We will continue to share more reviews, so stay tuned!! You can see our reviews for ALL of the holiday treats we have tried this year here!
