Get ready to deck the halls because we’re live from the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Entertainment, characters, merchandise, and snacks abound — and you know we’re sharing it all with you! We’ve eaten our way through a few snacks (and are on our way to trying them all!), but now it’s time to check out a sweet treat over on Main Street, U.S.A.! Over at the Main Street Bakery (a.k.a. Starbucks) we’re trying the new Mickey Mousse Ornament Treat — and no, that’s not a typo! This dessert is a gingerbread mousse with a crispy center and a spiced almond cake with brownie crumble for $6.49. Mickey Mousse Ornament Treat Okay, first of all — how adorable is this little treat?! It comes in a globe for easy carrying and looks just like an ornament you’d hang on a Christmas tree. And it tastes good, too! The mousse is light, fluffy, and has plenty of gingerbread flavor which we really enjoyed. It comes in a cute little globe! The spiced almond cake was moist and tasted just like Christmas thanks to those warm and festive spices. There are some unexpected popping rock candies inside the treat that didn’t add much in terms of flavor, but were a fun surprise and delight. We loved them! So tiny You’ll also find some crispy chocolate pearls inside the mousse that added a great crunch to the overall soft dessert. There were brownie bits scattered at the bottom of the globe the treat came in that were fun to scoop up and eat with the mousse. We have no complaints about this treat other than it’s a little small for the price — but it was excellent! An ornament you can eat Make sure you head to Main Street Bakery during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to try the Mickey Mousse Ornament Treat! If you haven’t already purchased your tickets to the party, some are still available — but they could sell out, so we’d grab them soon.

Disney’s most recent quarterly earnings report yielded some interesting statistics, such as exactly how much Hurricane Ian cost the company and how the recent revenue totals compare to years previous. Although many of the things we learned were about Disney’s past fourth quarter in 2022, we also learned about some potential future directions for The Walt Disney Company. Partner Statue in Disney World Disney CEO Bob Chapek and CFO Christine McCarthy participated in a question-and-answer session during the earnings call. During that session, they were asked about the potential impacts of a recession on the Disney company. Not surprisingly, Disney is well aware of the situation and is already considering a plan for how they can combat a slower economic atmosphere. Will There Be a Recession? For a while, experts were unsure about the possibility of a recession in the US or on a global scale. More recently, however, most have seemed to reach the consensus that there will be a recession. ©Bloomberg According to CNN, “The question of a recession is no longer if, but when.” They reported that “around the world, markets are flashing warning signs that the global economy is teetering on a cliff’s edge.” ©Bloomberg Research firm Ned Davis is known for being very accurate in its economic predictions. This firm is now reporting a 98% chance of a global recession. The only times that the probability has been that high were in 2008 and 2020. So if a recession is inevitable, how will Disney respond? What Will Disney Do? When asked about how Disney would maintain growth and profits during a potential recession, Disney executives noted that they are currently working on a plan and would reveal more about it later on, once it’s been completed. However, they did give a few hints about what that plan might include. Bob Chapek First of all, CFO McCarthy acknowledged that Disney must “keep the health of the consumer in mind when we think about achieving all of our goals this year.” It sounds like Disney may be preparing to miss the mark on some financial goals if the economy takes a downturn. Toy Story Land However, there are some parts of the company that are independent “profitability drivers,” meaning they do not rely on the state of the economy. One of those could be a steady stream of new content coming to Disney’s streaming platforms, because Disney can mostly control that statistic regardless of the economic state of the country. ©Disney || Bob Chapek One area that would almost certainly suffer during a recession is the Disney parks. If people are trying to cut down on spending, they will likely choose to not vacation at all for a while or opt for cheaper vacations. Park Entrance McCarthy said that offering discounts in the parks has previously been a good tool for encouraging higher demand, and Disney may utilize that again if required. But she also noted that Disney “won’t use [discounts] to the extent [they] used during the last recession.” Fantasyland McCarthy and Chapek both referred to the Park Pass Reservation system as a good tool to measure demand and manage guest attendance. Using that system, Disney can get an accurate look at how demand for the parks is changing, which could inform further actions. They said that Disney can “be very flexible” with adjusting those reservations. Entering Animal Kingdom Finally, McCarthy said vaguely that Disney may explore “more flexibility” in its Annual Passholder programs, which could mean that Disney will use the time of lower demand to cater more to Annual Passholders. These are guests who have invested more in Disney as a long-term relationship, so Disney would be wise to focus on those people if they’re trying to retain some demand during a recession. Annual Passholder sign Disney didn’t reveal many specifics about how a recession would impact the company’s operations, so we’ll be on the lookout for more details.

WOW. We all blinked and somehow it is the holiday season once again. New decor! Disney World is, of course, decked out for the occasion with massive trees, gingerbread houses, and treats. Speaking of treats, we know that many of our readers are diehard fans of the Lunch Box Tarts from Woody’s Lunch Box. If you are one of those people, then you’ve got to keep reading because a NEW one was just released in the parks. The Hot Chocolate Lunch Box Tart is now available at Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. These little tarts are comparable to that of a PopTart and Disney loves to experiment with new flavor combos for these. So each season, there tends to be a new option to try! Hot Chocolate Lunch Box Tart This holiday season, it’s the Hot Chocolate Lunch Box Tart. It’s filled with a chocolate fudge filling and is topped with hot chocolate marshmallow fondant and mini marshmallows! If the tart looks a little wet, that’s because it decided to downpour in Orlando right after we ordered the treat! Our reporters are dedicated — they’ll brave anything for a lunch box tart! Yum! As usual with the lunch box tarts, we loved the flaky pastry — it was baked perfectly! The marshmallows on top are really what made this feel like a “hot chocolate” treat. On the other hand, we were not fans of the chocolate layer on top. Because the tart is already filled with so much chocolate, the fondant on top made it a little too sweet for us. If you don’t have a big sweet tooth, you should consider splitting this one! We do think kids who love chocolate will be obsessed with this treat. Inside You can get this treat from now until January 1st in Hollywood Studios. If you wanna try this for yourself, it costs $4.49. This is just one of the MANY treats that Disney released in Hollywood Studios this season. You can see the full list here.

As the company celebrates record parks revenue, Disney World's frontline theme park workers say they deserve raises that reflect their work. View the full article

The last few years have been unusual for The Walt Disney Company, as they have been for many companies worldwide. As Disney continues to work on recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic closures, it has also been navigating the growth of Disney+ and other streaming platforms along with the launch of a new cruise ship and many changes to the Disney parks. Cinderella Castle In the last couple of years, we’ve seen changes like the new Park Pass Reservation system, the start of Disney World’s 50th anniversary, the transition to Genie+ (from FastPass+), and many price increases in the Disney parks. So what is Disney hoping to do in 2023? Their recent earnings call provides some answers. Significant Reports from Disney’s Fourth Quarter in 2022 In Disney’s most recent earnings call, the company reported an increase in revenue in its Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products division. The fourth quarter yielded a revenue of $7.4 billion, which is an increase of 26% over the same time in 2021. Main Street Disney CFO Christine McCarthy noted that guest per capita spending in the parks has also increased by 40% since 2019. She attributed this change to the popularity of “premium offerings” like Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. Expedition Everest Lightning Lane Disney reported a total revenue of $21.3 billion for this quarter, which number is slightly below the third-quarter number but still up from this time last year. Although Disney reported financial losses in the streaming section of the company, Disney+ added over 12 million subscribers internationally this quarter. See more details about Disney’s Q4 2022 here. So what’s next for Disney? Disney’s Plans for 2023 Disney CEO Bob Chapek is “filled with optimism that this iconic company’s best days still lie ahead,” according to the recent earnings report. CFO McCarthy said, “We currently expect the total company income in Fiscal Year 2023 and segment operating income to both grow at a high single percentage rate vs 2022.” Bob Chapek Some of the growth may come from Disney’s 100th anniversary, which kicks off on January 27th, 2023, in Disneyland Resort. There will be celebrations and events at all of the Disney parks worldwide. 100 Years of Wonder There will also be other significant changes in the parks, such as the opening of the new TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster in Disney World and the opening of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland. TRON construction But much of Disney’s optimism for 2023 comes from Disney+ and other media platforms, such as theatrical releases. Let’s dive deeper into those plans. Disney+ and Other Streaming Platforms 2023 won’t quite see Disney+ achieve profitability, according to Chapek. He said, “We expect Disney+ to achieve profitability in 2024, with losses starting to decline in the first quarter of 2023.” ©Disney || Bob Chapek The new ad-supported tier of Disney+ will launch in December 2022, and McCarthy noted that this change will begin to impact streaming profitability in late 2023. Chapek is optimistic about the advertising demand for Disney+ and reported that there are over 100 advertisers lined up for the domestic launch of the new tier. ©Disney Disney also expects that core Disney+ subscribers will continue to grow, especially in the second quarter of 2023. This growth could be driven by new releases coming to the platform. Disney confirmed that “all theatrical titles will make their way” to Disney+ or other Disney-owned streaming platforms (like Hulu). Disney+ Billboard Disney executives expressed confidence in upcoming titles, such as Marvel movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Chapek also highlighted the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, which he said he “couldn’t be more excited” for. The live-action movie based on Disney’s popular Haunted Mansion ride will also come out next year. ©Disney More new titles like a Pixar original and a 5th Indiana Jones movie could add to subscriber growth. Chapek noted that Disney+ originally launched at a “tremendous value,” and he said that Disney has room to continue to explore price value for the streaming service. That could mean that we’ll see even more price increases for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ moving forward. Learn about the upcoming Disney+ price increase here. Possibility of a Recession Disney acknowledged that 2023 could bring a less stable economy, as many experts have predicted an upcoming recession. Disney executives noted that they “have to keep the health of the consumer in mind when we think about achieving all of our goals this year.” Crowds in EPCOT However, some “profitability drivers” are independent of the economic atmosphere, such as a steady stream of new content and a focus on bundled offerings for streaming. Disney+ Day Other parts of the company — such as the parks — may be impacted by a recession. Disney said they are actively evaluating costs and forming a plan for this situation. McCarthy noted that discounts may be a good tool for keeping demand for the parks high, but she also cautioned that Disney “won’t use [discounts] to the extent [they] used during the last recession.” Christine McCarthy ©The Walt Disney Company McCarthy also listed the Park Pass Reservation system as a good tool to measure demand and manage attendance. She said that Disney can “be very flexible” with adjusting those reservations. Disney may also explore “more flexibility” in the Annual Passholder program, although McCarthy didn’t give any details about what that may look like.

The cake was moist and delicious, but we weren’t the biggest fan of the frosting — it just tasted like sugar with crunchy sprinkles!

We did have lots of people asking us about this treat while we took photos, so we can assume this will be a very popular treat this year. Grab it sooner rather than later when you arrive at the park!

It’s FINALLY happening — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has returned to Disney World! Magic Kingdom’s Christmas Tree! This Magic Kingdom event is back for the first time since 2019, and we’ve already taken a look at what we can expect from the party this year like the festive eats and drinks, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, and more. We’ll be sharing everything you need to know during the very first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — starting with the crowds! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party technically kicks off at 7PM, but guests with party tickets can enter the parks as early as 4PM! This means that for the first few hours, day guests are still in the parks and things can get pretty crowded. Unfortunately, the night started off pretty rainy...but that didn’t seem to stop the crowds! All the ponchos There were LOTS of people in ponchos gathered at the entrance to Magic Kingdom, waiting to get their wristbands and head into the party. Seriously, like A LOT of people. But this area gets congested pretty quickly, so just how bad were the crowds once we headed inside? Crowds at the entrance Things are still looking pretty crowded around here, but keep in mind that now we’re mingling with regular day guests until they have to exit the park. Lots of people We said hello to some very festive Cast Members greeting partygoers, and then trudged on to see what the rest of the park looked like. Typically, the crowds thin out after day guests exit — some of the best parts about Disney After-Hours Parties are the low wait times we’ve seen in the past! We spotted some Cast Members greeting the crowds… Since it was raining, we popped into the Emporium to stay dry, but so did everyone else! Whoa! Main Street, U.S.A. was pretty congested as well — but just look at how pretty those lights are! Can you blame people for wanting to just take it all in? A crowded main street But, after the day guests started to clear out we were able to get quite the view of Main Street, U.S.A. and Cinderella Castle — with very few guests impeding our view! It seems like once those day guests exit the park, the crowds really do begin to dissipate. This is a sold out night, though, so it’s possible that more guests will show up. Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor? Cinderella Castle was all aglow in green, and a good amount of guests had gathered down in front of the castle to take photos and admire the festive decor. We’ll be keeping an eye on the crowds all night long and reporting on everything there is to know about the party! Cinderella Castle There were quite a few guests over in Tomorrowland waiting to get their party wristbands… Wristband line …but as the night went on, it seemed like this futuristic land started to get a bit roomier — at least over by Space Mountain! Not too crowded over here! Keep in mind that this is just what we experienced on the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and things could vary depending on when you’re visiting. This is a sold-out night, so that’s worth noting as well! Stay tuned as we continue to report on the crowds at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

There are SO many new treats at Magic Kingdom right now! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party We’re talking about dozens of sweets for the holiday season, including some that are exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We’ve been trying out all the goodies, and now we’re diving into our next one — a special holiday churro! From November 8th through December 31st, you can find the Christmas Cookie Churro at various carts around Magic Kingdom. This churro is available during the daytime AND the Christmas party! Christmas Cookie Churro It’s a churro served with marshmallow cream, cookie crumbles, and Christmas sprinkles, and we spotted it at a popcorn cart in the Magic Kingdom hub for $7.25. It definitely looks festive! But we’re not going to lie, we were very disappointed with the taste. This has sadly become kinda of a trend when it comes to speciality churros in Disney World. We have however seen them be a bit more successful over at Disneyland Resort. What do you think? This churro was very chewy, but not in a good way. The churro itself was good, but the marshmallow drizzle overpowered the cinnamon sugar and was sickeningly sweet. The toppings were also a little stale, although the sprinkles were very crunchy. We think kids may enjoy this treat if they like really sweet treats, but otherwise, you may want to choose another holiday offering in the parks. We love these holiday decorations! We can’t wait to share our thoughts on all the other snacks and drinks, so keep following along for the holly jolly excitement! WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World!

Like many companies around the world, The Walt Disney Company has had a challenging past few years as it works through recovery after the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney World Several factors have prompted a quick recovery for Disney, including the launch of a new cruise ship, high demand for the parks, and a few successful film releases. However, despite the good news, Disney’s stock value has been less than stable. And during the company’s most recent earnings call, the stock value dropped to one of its lowest lows this year. In mid-June of this year, Disney’s stock prices fell to $93.29 per share, which was the lowest price since March 2020, when most of the theme parks were closed. This was the first time in 2022 that the market closed with Disney stocks trading under $100 per share. Disney World Entrance We saw that number dip again in late September when stocks fell to $94.33 per share. The price then increased above $100 briefly before falling below that mark once again in late October. Although the last few days have shown promise with price-per-share over $100, Disney’s stock dropped in price once again during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call, trading at $99.90 per share. ©Google Looking at the stock values from the beginning of 2022 to now, you can see some big changes. The stock hit values in the $150s earlier in the year, dropped to the low 90s in July, picked up again in August, and slipped once again in the fall. ©Google Part of the reason for the drop in the stock price could have been some unmet expectations for the fourth-quarter earnings report. Disney reported that the company lost almost $65 million as a result of Hurricane Ian in Florida, and some other areas may not have seen as much growth as expected.

The Walt Disney Company just held its latest earnings call, and we already learned quite a bit about how the company is doing overall. 50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle CEO Bob Chapek shared that revenue has grown over the past year, with parks revenue raking in $7.4 billion during Q4. And, this was all done despite some pretty significant losses from Hurricane Ian — which devastated much of Florida and impacted Walt Disney World operations. Disney shared just how much of an impact Hurricane Ian had, and we’re sharing the details below. Several theme parks closed their doors due to Hurricane Ian, including Disney World. Park passes and hotel reservations were impacted as well, while Cast Members and guests hunkered down for a couple of days until the parks reopened and operations resumed. Flooded construction after Hurricane Ian During the Walt Disney Company’s fourth quarter earnings call, we learned that Hurricane Ian cost the Company $65 million while the Disney World parks were closed for two days. CFO Christine McCarthy shared that the hurricane was “a $65 million drag on the quarter” — though overall revenue was still up for Parks and Experiences. EPCOT Disney reported revenue in its Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products division at $7.4 billion for the quarter, which is an increase of 26% over the same period in 2021. CEO Bob Chapek shared that demand at Disney parks exceeds capacity “on many days” due to new attractions and experiences like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT.

Each year Disney World seems to announce a whole bunch of NEW holiday treats. Sometimes, it can be hard to find a classic holiday treat that makes its triumphant return annually. This can be a total bummer, especially if you really loved something last year that you were hoping to get again this year. Holiday Red Velvet Whoopie Pie in 2020 That, however, has not been the case with the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie. It really has become a holiday treat staple in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we are happy to report that it is back again this year. We will say, we have experienced this treat as a big HIT and as a MISS in Disney World. So we were very interested to see how the recipe tasted this year. In the past, it was with red velvet cake filled with classic cream cheese filling and festive sprinkles! Red Velvet Whoopie Pie This treat has been around for years now and came back in a whole new way last year. It resembles the iconic and beloved Carrot Cake Cookie, but how does this year’s version stack up? Red Velvet Whoopie Pie We’ve had mixed experiences with this treat. We remember LOVING this treat in years past…but last year’s whoopie pie was actually a big disappointment. Red Velvet Whoopie Pie This year’s iteration is… different. The large red velvet cakes were light, spongey, and not too dry. But the filling this year is Candy Cane Buttercream. Though the filling was perfectly fine, we love the cream cheese filling that traditionally comes in the past versions of this treat and the Carrot Cake Cookie. There is a hint of candy cane mint, and it’s not bad, but it just doesn’t measure up. Red Velvet Whoopie Pie It is a large snack and shareable between two people, but grab your napkins, some wet wipes, and maybe a drop cloth, because this little snack is a total mess. The delicate cake crumbles apart, and if you try to hold it together, you get a nice reddish tint to your fingers (just call that a little bonus). If you love red velvet, have some fondness for some mintiness, and don’t mind a messy snack, you could really like this one! But if you remember the OG Red Velvet Whoopie Pie and its cream cheese splendor, then you might find this iteration disappointing. You can find this over at Backlot Express in Hollywood Studios (aka the spot that also has the popular Wookiee Cookie). This is also available over at Trolley Car Cafe and is often the seasonal replacement for the longstanding DFB fav, the Carrot Cake Cookie. So if you don’t spot the Carrot Cake Cookie during November and December, that’s why. You can make your own Carrot Cake Cookie at home with this copycat recipe! If you’re looking to try the Red Velvet Cookie for yourself, head on over to Backlot Express and snag it for $5.29. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this year’s recipe and how it stacks up against the classic Carrot Cake Cookie! Looking for more holiday reviews? You can see ALL of our 2022 holiday reviews here!

The Walt Disney Company reported to its investors today about its latest earnings, as well as earnings for the past year. ©Disney The numbers reported today confirmed the explosion of growth in Disney’s Parks revenue this year, and the continuing challenges the company is having in making its streaming service — Disney+ — profitable. Parks Revenues Continue to Beat 2021 By a Mile Disney reported revenue in its Disney Parks, Experiences and Products division at $7.4 billion for the quarter — an increase of 26% over the same period in 2021. Disneyland Paris Disney CEO Bob Chapek said that demand at Disney Parks continues to exceed capacity “on many days.” He touted the investments made to bring new attractions to Disney’s U.S. parks — such as the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster at EPCOT — for driving the increased demand. Disneyland Chapek also thanked the Cast Members who “went above and beyond” during Hurricane Ian, which prompted closures and operational changes at Disney World in September. “I am so proud of how our team came together to support our guests, our neighbors, and each other,” Chapek said. Disney CFO McCarthy noted that the hurricane resulted in losses of $65 million. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World Chapek noted that guests still want to celebrate at Disney Parks, evidenced by the sell-outs of special ticketed events like the Oogie Boogie Bash and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Chapek also stated that more than half of the dates for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party have already sold out. Plaza Point McCarthy said that per capita spending in Disney’s domestic parks remains way open over pre-pandemic levels. Guests are spending 40% more in the parks than they did in 2019, which she attributed to the continued popularity of premium offerings such as Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. Crowds in Disney World Another thing up in the parks is international travelers — especially at Disney World. McCarthy said that international visitors in the fourth quarter were “roughly in line with pre-pandemic levels.” Overall, Disney’s Numbers Show Revenue Growth Disney is reporting revenue of $21.3 billion for the quarter, which is slightly down from the Q3 numbers, but up $2.8 billion from this period last year. Animal Kingdom “2022 was an important year of recovery coming out of the pandemic,” Chapek said. McCarthy told investors that further growth is expected during Fiscal Year 2023. EPCOT International Gateway entrance “We currently expect the total company income in Fiscal Year 2023 and segment operating income to both grow at a high single percentage rate vs 2022,” McCarthy said. Disney’s Streaming Business Continues to Record Losses Chapek and McCarthy also spoke on the streaming business and reported that Disney+ added more than 12 million subscribers internationally, though there are still financial losses on the streaming side. Obi-Wan Kenobi was a hit for Disney+ Shares of many media companies that have streaming services have been down for most of the year — including Disney’s stock, which is down 35% in 2022. The Wall Street Journal reports that investors are growing weary of waiting to see profits from streaming services. The Santa Clauses TV Show ©Disney “We expect Disney+ to achieve profitability in 2024, with losses starting to decline in the first quarter of 2023,” Chapek said. McCarthy noted that the launch of the ad-supported tier on Disney+ will likely not have impacts on its streaming divisions’ profitability until later in 2023.

Disney+ has only been around for about 3 years now, but it’s made a pretty big impact in that short amount of time. ©Disney In fact, the streaming service is even trying to catch up with Netflix. The popularity isn’t surprising, since Disney+ is home to some of the most successful studios and franchises of all time, like Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. We like to keep up with the number of subscribers for Disney+ so we can see how things are changing, and we have some new numbers for you! Disney+ added 12.1 million subscribers in its fourth quarter. This was part of the 14.6 million total subscriptions added by Disney to its various streaming services like ESPN+ and Hulu. Overall, Disney has added almost 57 million subscriptions this year for a total of over 235 million. Here’s a look at the numbers for Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu: ©Disney This info was revealed in Disney’s Quarter 4 earnings report. Disney said, “The rapid growth of Disney+ in just three years since launch is a direct result of our strategic decision to invest heavily in creating incredible content and rolling out the service internationally, and we expect our DTC (direct-to-consumer) operating losses to narrow going forward and that Disney+ will still achieve profitability in fiscal 2024, assuming we do not see a meaningful shift in the economic climate.” Disney says they believe they will be able to achieve profitability in part due to adding a Disney+ ad-supported tier, which is coming on December 8th. ©Disney Direct-to-consumer revenues for Quarter 4 also increased 8% to 4.9 billion and the operating loss increased by $0.8 billion to $1.5 billion. This increase in operating loss was because of a higher loss at Disney+ and a decrease in results at Hulu, which was partially offset by improved results at ESPN+.

It’s here! It’s here! It’s FINALLY HERE! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is BACK in Disney World, and we’re at the party on the very first night to check everything out! Christmas has arrived at Disney World! The party hasn’t happened at Disney World since 2019, with it being canceled in 2020 due to the global pandemic and replaced with Disney Very Merriest After Hours in 2021. Now, it’s finally back, and there is a TON to do! From food to entertainment to merchandise, there’s a lot to check out. So, let’s jump right in! Follow along as we go to the first Christmas Party of this year. First, a little bit about the logistics of the party. This is a separately ticketed event, so you have to buy a ticket specifically for the party in order to attend. You can’t just buy a ticket for Magic Kingdom for that day and then stay in the park for the party. If you do buy a ticket to the party, you’ll be able to get into the park 3 hours before it begins. The party starts at 7PM, so you can get into Magic Kingdom at 4PM (unless you purchased both a party ticket AND a Magic Kingdom park ticket for that day, in which case you can get into the park when it opens and stay through the party). For those people not attending the party, Magic Kingdom will close at 6PM. Cinderella Castle The party takes place on 24 select nights from November 8th through December 22, 2022, and ticket prices range from $149 to $199 per person (depending on which night you go). There are still tickets for certain nights on sale, but some might have completely sold out! Click here to see ALL of the SOLD-OUT dates for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Crowds We certainly weren’t the only ones who wanted to be at the first Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World — tonight’s event is sold out, and there were BIG crowds at the entrance to Magic Kingdom at 4PM (when party-goers could go inside). Crowds at the entrance Despite the bad weather (click here for updates on Tropical Storm Nicole and its impact on Disney World), there were plenty of guests waiting to enter the park. Most people had ponchos and umbrellas with them, which is a good thing as it has already started to rain. All the ponchos Despite the big crowds, we were able to enter Magic Kingdom within about 15 minutes. We recommend getting to the front entrance about a half hour early (so around 3:30PM if you’re coming for the party) in order to have a shorter wait time to enter. Decorations This year, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has some special Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary touches including “3 new interactive photo locations inviting you to step right into a very merry scene that can double as your holiday card” and a commemorative 50th Anniversary keepsake. Holiday photo op Of course, you can also check out the regular holiday decor around Magic Kingdom, including the Christmas tree, wreaths, and garlands. Check out more Magic Kingdom holiday decorations here. Food Around the park for the party, you can find cookie and cocoa spots that will give you complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the evening. In addition to these included goodies, there are also a bunch of exclusive tasty treats that you can buy during the party! Holiday Dinner Hot Dog We’ll be trying out all the holiday snacks and bringing you full reviews — keep checking back, because we’ll continue to update this post with the reviews. See photos and reviews of ALL the holiday treats in Disney World here! Entertainment There are some exclusive entertainment offerings at the Christmas party, including Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. You can also find dance parties around the park, like Club Tinsel, A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas, and Disney Junior Jingle Jam. Once Upon a Christmastime Parade | 2021 We’ll update this section throughout the evening with pictures of all the events! Ride Overlays Some of the rides during the party have special festive overlays! These include Tomorrowland Speedway Race Through the Holidays, Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Holiday Show, Space Mountain — Holiday Run!!, Mad Tea Party, and the Jungle Cruise, which becomes the Jingle Cruise! Jingle Cruise We’ll keep updating this post as the party goes on tonight, so make sure you stay tuned for more festive fun!

The holidays are here! Not only are decorations up around the parks but Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is officially happening in Magic Kingdom as well. Magic Kingdom Decorations And to celebrate the holidays, Disney is releasing a laundry list of new treats. We will be reviewing the new and exciting items so you know what is worth it and what might be worth a skip. And this treat we’re about to talk about now will make Nightmare Before Christmas fans very happy! The NEW Lock, Shock, and Barrel Sundae is available at Auntie Gravity’s in Tomorrowland. It’s made with festive vanilla cake, vanilla ice cream, strawberry topping, whipped cream, and Christmas sprinkles with a Lock, Shock, and Barrel chocolate piece. This treat should be available during regular park hours and during Mickey’s Very Merry from now until December 31st. But as an almost $18 sundae, is it worth that hefty price? We might’ve ordered the first of the day and as the description notes, it has vanilla cake, vanilla ice cream, strawberry topping, whipped cream, and the chocolate festive piece on top, all served in that familiar tub that used to house Uncle Orville’s Sundae. Given that the primary ingredients were vanilla cake and vanilla ice cream, we thought this treat was going to be…. well, vanilla. But the strawberry topping melts down into the vanilla ice cream and makes a yummy strawberry soft serve. What makes the vanilla cake “festive” is that it is green. But don’t let that deter you, if you like other Disney vanilla cakes or cupcakes, you’ll like this, too. And our little sundae tub was OVERFLOWING is whipped cream! So, if you enjoy oodles of whipped cream with your sundae, this is the one for you. But is it an $18 sundae? Well, since you get to keep the souvenir bathtub, it’s not a bad little treat. And it is big enough to share, so you have a fellow strawberry (and WHIPPED CREAM fan) in your party and you both wanna go in on this, it’ll hit the spot! You can also snag a Sugar Plum Shake at Auntie Gravity’s. But just as a note, it is a Very Merry Christmas Party exclusive. This is just the beginning when it comes to holiday treats in Disney World. You can see ALL of our reviews for this year’s items here. Don't Miss Out on Any Disney World Fun This Holiday Season!

Changes are happening rapidly in Central Florida as Tropical Storm Nicole approaches the Florida coast. Orlando International Airport Orlando Airport is announcing closures that could affect your Disney World vacation. Airport leadership said earlier today that they were still meeting with FAA and NOAA officials, as well as representatives from the airlines, to consider the safest ways to deal with the storm. They have just announced that Orlando Airport will cease all operations at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, November 9th. Operations will resume at an undetermined time after the storm has passed. In a tweet, airport officials said anyone with a flight booked during the potential closure should work directly with their airline regarding cancellations, refunds, and rescheduling.

Are you ready to FEAST with your EYES?! Hot dog, hot dog, hot jingle bell dog! We sure do hope so because the holidays have arrived in Disney World. And you know what that means? Well, it means that we here at DFB are reviewing a ton of new holiday eats and drinks!! If you are visiting Disney World from now until the end of the year, you can find new holiday-themed treats at the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs! For those hoping to visit a staple Magic Kingdom for a holiday treat, look no further than Casey’s Corner. They are serving up a Holiday Dinner Dog with all the fixin’s. Hot dog! That’s a hearty meal! This is an all-beef hot dog topped with cranberry mustard, stuffing funnel cake, and cheese curds for $12.99 (or $14.29 for the footlong) !!! Sounds like a DREAM, right?! We got the footlong version, and let us tell you that this ‘dog is very filling. There is a sweetness from the cranberry, and the crunch from the funnel cake makes you feel like you are enjoying sweet and savory carnival food. But grab plenty of napkins, because this is a messy meal. It falls apart very easily, even if you cut it in half with the intent to share it (which is a brilliant idea). Cut in half and already crumbling The Holiday Dinner Dog is available from now until December 31, 2022. And you can find it during regular Magic Kingdom park hours or during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. If you stop by during the party, you can also check out the new Christmas Tree Cake! We will be sharing more new and exciting treats from Mickey’s Very Merry and other places around Disney World. If there is one you are very interested in knowing more about, please let us know!!!
