Give Kids the World’s Night of a Million Lights was named the “Number One Thing to Do in December in Orlando” by USA Today back in 2020. And if you love Christmas lights, it might be a must-do for you! Night of a Million Lights This event typically allows guests to stroll through a village full of Christmas lights with all kinds of impressive displays (all while helping kiddos in need). Though it had been previously announced that Night of a Million Lights would NOT be returning this year, it seems plans have changed! Give Kids the World is a nonprofit resort in Central Florida “that provides critically ill children and their families with magical weeklong wish vacations at no cost.” ©Give Kids the World This year, in partnership with Island H2O Water Park in Kissimmee, FL, the waterpark will be transformed for the months of November and December as they host the Night of a Million Lights. The event had been held at the Give Kids the World Village in the past, but it has been relocated this year due to an “influx of wish families” in the Village. Guests will “watch an all-new dancing lights show on a five-story waterslide, visit an interactive children’s holiday activities space, interact with strolling performers, explore themed lightscapes, and create priceless holiday memories during visits with Santa.” There will also be nightly entertainment in the form of dueling pianos, an a capella group, and much more. Christmas Tree Trail The event begins on Friday, November 11th, and lasts through Sunday, January 1st, 2023. It runs every night in that time from 6PM to 10PM with staggered entry times for guests. You can get tickets now on the Give Kids the World website! Proceeds from Night of a Million Lights at Island H2O go to Give Kids the World to help them continue providing free week-long vacations to critically ill children and their families. Santa! Ticket prices vary according to the date, with Standard nights costing $30/adult and $15/kids (ages 3 to 17). Peak nights (weekends and days close to holidays) are $35/adult and $18/kids, and Holiday nights (Thanksgiving weekend, dates around Christmas, and dates around New Year’s Eve) are $40/adult and $20/kids. Kids 2 years old and younger do not need a ticket. Discounts are available for groups of 25 or more, as well as Island H2O Water Park season pass holders. VIP experiences, sponsorships, and volunteer opportunities may be available — check with Give Kids the World for the latest information. Night of a Million Lights If you’ve been missing that Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights and have been looking for some kind of light display to visit, this might be a fun thing to check out in Orlando, while helping a great cause.

Who else is loving Halloween in Disney so far? Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom There are so many decorations to check out and snacks to try, and you may have also grabbed a ticket for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party before it sold out! Now it’s finally time for a Disneyland scavenger hunt to make its way over to Disney World — and this time we’re looking for PUMPKINS in EPCOT! That’s right, Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit has finally made it to EPCOT! It was supposed to arrive a little bit ago but was slightly delayed. The goal of this scavenger hunt is to spot all the hidden Disney-themed pumpkins around the park. You can purchase your game board from select stores for $9.99. Once you find all of the pumpkins and mark where they are on your card (using the stickers provided), you can return to where you bought the card to redeem your prize! Note: you can also return to redeem your prize even if you DON’T find all the pumpkins (so technically you don’t need to finish the hunt). Gateway Gifts We purchased our board from Gateway Gifts but you can also buy one at Creations Shop, Port of Entry, or World Traveler. On your board is a map of different locations and hints about where you can find pumpkins around EPCOT. Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit! Your board comes with twelve different stickers to mark on the map as you go, and you can also check out what pumpkin designs you’re looking for! So cute! There are three prize options, which are mini trick-or-treat pumpkins, complete with a handle and Mickey ears! Choose from a yellow Minnie, an orange Mickey, or a green Pluto. Prizes! We chose the green Pluto, and in addition to being a cute Halloween decoration, it also says “Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit” on the back. The back If you want to hunt for yourself without any spoilers, skip to the end of this post. Ready or not, here we come, pumpkins! PHOTO to Separate Spoilers! We spotted a Minnie Pumpkin design just next to the Creations Shop sign… Minnie Pumpkin …and another pumpkin in the scaffolding over by Test Track. We’ll save the rest of the pumpkins for you to find so we don’t share too many spoilers, but suffice it to say there’s plenty to enjoy. While you can redeem your board for your prize before finishing the scavenger hunt, it’s a pretty fun (and festive!) challenge to enjoy during your day in EPCOT. There It Is! This scavenger hunt will be available from now through October 31st or however long supplies last. So if you really want to play, we suggest grabbing a board sooner rather than later! EPCOT You can still enjoy the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in October, and the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster opened earlier this year. There’s a ton of construction going on in EPCOT as a part of the park’s big transformation, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest EPCOT news!

Disney is known for its innovation and its work in utilizing the latest technology to give guests and fans an immersive experience. From virtual hotel room assistants to technology hiding in patents and permits, Disney is working on a lot of things to put you at the center of popular stories. ©Disney Just recently, Disney announced a new immersive experience touring the US and Canada where guests will be able to step INTO their favorite Disney movies. But now another immersive experience has announced and it’s one Encanto fans can’t miss! Disney is partnering with CAMP to let guests step into the world of Encanto and explore the Casita and the rooms of the family Madrigal! ©Disney Like other similar exhibits, guests will have to buy tickets for a specific date and admission time. Each ticket gives guests an hour to explore the home of La Familia Madrigal, from the secret passageways to the floral and rainforest wonderlands of Isabela’s and Antonio’s rooms. Bruno’s room is there, too…we just hope we don’t have to climb all of those stairs! It’s a real-life Casita with secret passages, “interactive magic,” and even a few surprises, mixed in with live music! Throughout the “narrative adventure,” guests will be guided by a CAMP Counselor. You may even get to climb, slide, bounce, and dance around. ©Disney At the end of the exhibit, merchants will have some custom-made, exclusive goods inspired by Disney’s Encanto for guests to check out, including clothing and handmade flower crowns. These are exclusives you’ll only be able to get from the CAMP experience! The experience will first be available in New York, but the CAMP website notes, “like all CAMP experiences, Disney’s Encanto will head to one of our other locations soon.” The NYC experience is set to open on October 13th and last through early 2023. ©CAMP x Disney When it comes to live characters, CAMP notes that guests will only be able to see and interact with characters through “digital animation.” So don’t necessarily expect to see Bruno in person (who we actually got to meet at Oogie Boogie Bash!). Tickets vary in price, so check the dates and times available! You can also shop some of the Encanto x CAMP items on the CAMP website right now. We Got to Chat With Bruno! Disney is giving Encanto a lot of attention, and we may find more representation in the parks, soon too, based on some areas potentially teased for Magic Kingdom. Possible Land Expansion in Magic Kingdom As we get closer to 2023, and the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company, we know there will be even more to look forward to, including a huge celebration in Disneyland.

Disney World is always changing, growing, and evolving into something else, and that means there is almost always some kind of construction going on. The Polynesian is such a beautiful resort We’re still following the progress of the upcoming Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana attraction at EPCOT, as well as keeping an eye on when Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom will close for its retheming. We’ve also been following along with the progress of the new DVC villas coming to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and now we’ve got some photos to share with you as part of the latest update. Let’s take a few minutes and see what this area looks like now. The first update we have to share is what the construction site looked after Disney World reopened after Hurricane Ian came through Florida. Part of the site was flooded, as you can see in this photo. Lots of water on the site However, most of that water disappeared this week, and we got a look at the progress being made. It looks like some concrete barriers have been put around certain areas. Some activity going on We also saw quite a few vehicles on the site. More vehicles around However, there are still little pools of standing water in areas of the construction site. We also saw something that seems to be some kind of pile of debris. Some water still around We also noticed a few concrete barriers in a recessed area around the construction site in the spot nearest the lake. More barriers Overall, we’re seeing action taking place here but it seems like it still has a long way to go before it becomes the new DVC expansion it is meant to be. The villas haven’t yet taken shape, but it does look like construction work is progressing, although the water left behind by Hurricane Ian probably did affect some of that progress. ©Disney | Polynesian Village Resort concept art We’ve also got an update about Kona Cafe, which has been closed for refurbishment. Kona Cafe will reopen on November 1st with an “enhanced table-service experience.” Disney has not elaborated on what that “enhanced table-service experience” will involve, but we’ll be on the lookout for details. Reservations are now open. Kona Cafe construction We’ll continue to keep an eye on it and let you know about any other updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Yes, we’re already seeing holiday merchandise in shops, but for the time being, we are in peak spooky season. Amorette’s Patisserie Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party is still going on, the Halloween decorations are still up in Disney World, and we’re still discovering new Halloween snacks. In fact, we’re trying one right now and this one has a Hocus Pocus inspiration! We’re all familiar with the Black Flame Candle, right? Well, now you can get it…as a CAKE. That’s right, there’s a Hocus Pocus Black Flame Petit Cake at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs! It’s made with Devil’s Food biscuit, apricot jam, brandy simple syrup, caramel mousse, and candied pecan crunch. Sounds unique, right? Menu Well, it certainly LOOKS unique. Dare we light it? First, we have to applaud this fondant. Fondant can sometimes taste just like a sugary paste, but here, it’s very light and not overpowering at all. We actually felt like it added something to the cake, rather than just being there for decoration. Want to eat ANOTHER candle in Disney World? Yes, you can do that. Gasparilla Island Grill has a Black Flame Candle cake as well, and it’s significantly cheaper, at just $7.99. This one is a vanilla sponge cake with caramel buttercream and white chocolate ganache. It wasn’t the most exciting cake we’ve ever had, but it was pretty delightful! And at a much cheaper price, it might be a snack with a cost you can better justify as part of your budget. Spooky!

Is there anything more exciting than a NEW attraction in Disney World? WOW! We’re gearing up for several new additions, including the TRON coaster, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the PLAY! Pavilion, and of course, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. And if that last one piqued your interest, we’ve got a big construction update for you! We’re keeping a close eye on the construction progress with the massive EPCOT transformation, and recently, we’ve spotted some changes. First of all, we’ve got some changes in the back of World Celebration, closer to World Showcase. It looks like a concrete platform has been constructed that might eventually become part of CommuniCore Plaza. On top of it, two concrete structures have been added. You can see the platform from the monorail. On the World Nature side, there are some significant updates to Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. More painting has been done on the “rocks” and new white structures have been added all around. They sort of look like unpainted tree trunks. Journey of Water Construction They look somewhat similar to the lamppost designs we’ve seen in the concept art for this attraction, given their curved structure. There’s no guarantee that that’s what these will be, but it’s one possibility based on their repeated placement throughout the space and similar shapes. ©Disney We’re also really starting to see the mapped-out walking path through the attraction, and they’ve made significant progress in detailing the work that was already done. Most of the structures are still covered in scaffolding, likely for the aforementioned detail work and painting. Things are changing! As you get closer to Spaceship Earth, there are two metal pavilions with concrete walls being constructed next to them. It seems like this area is in the earlier stages of construction. There are a lot of materials stored in this area, so there’s likely more to come. Closer to Spaceship Earth When the entire area is covered with construction walls, it’s sometimes easy to forget just how massive this space is. At the moment, there’s still some more empty space up by Spaceship Earth, likely because the Moana construction is taking priority. Plenty of space! That’s our full update for now, but we’ll be on the lookout for more changes in the coming weeks and months! Keep in mind that the Moana attraction is supposed to open in the latter part of 2023, and World Celebration is expected to be completed in EPCOT in 2023, so we’ve still got a ways to go. Disney hasn’t announced a more specific opening timeline yet. If you’re hyped about Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, make sure to check out full post where we break down the concept art and everything that could be coming to this space. It’s going to be a walkthrough offering, where guests can interact with water. ©Disney When are you headed to Disney World next?

If you’re planning to visit Disney World on Halloween day and you haven’t already booked those Park Pass reservations, you’re going to need to act FAST. Mickey pumpkins are back! Disney has indicated that demand for the parks is resilient and “long-lasting” and that there are many days when demand EXCEEDS Park Pass availability. Popular days, particularly holidays, can fill up when it comes to Park Passes, special event tickets can sell out, and dining reservations can get booked up fast. And now we’re starting to see things getting particularly busy for Halloween! Park Pass availability is now LIMITED for Halloween day (October 31st) in Disney World. As of October 7th, when we checked, the Park Pass calendar showed that Park Passes for Magic Kingdom on October 31st have already SOLD OUT for those with theme park tickets. Park Passes remain available for EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. ©Disney Magic Kingdom Park Passes have also sold out on October 31st for those at select resort hotels. ©Disney When it comes to Annual Passholders, things are a bit different. October 31st is still fully open at all parks for Annual Passholders, but that could change in the future. ©Disney If you were hoping to be in Magic Kingdom on Halloween and you haven’t already booked your Park Pass, you may be out of luck. Keyword: MAY. Park Pass availability changes a lot, so it’s possible that this day will get replenished in the future. You’ll want to keep checking back on the Park Pass availability calendar for any changes leading up to your trip. Also, if you’ve got a ticket with Park Hopping ability, remember that you could potentially hop into Magic Kingdom after 2PM (provided there is availability). You Could Grab Some Spooky Snacks While You’re in the Park Just keep in mind that Magic Kingdom will be closing at 6PM on October 31st, as there is a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party being offered that night. All Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights are currently sold out, but sometimes there can be last-minute availability on the day of the event if there are cancelations. You can ask a Cast Member if there’s any availability during your trip, but since the party is technically sold out, nothing is guaranteed. Cinderella Castle — Halloween style! If you don’t already have your Park Passes booked for an upcoming trip (whether it falls on Halloween or not), we highly recommend that you book your Park Passes ASAP. If you lock in your Park Passes now, you’ll have a greater chance of getting the park reservations you want. As the dates for your trip get closer, certain Park Passes can sell out, potentially throwing a big wrench into your trip plans. If you book Park Passes now and later change your mind about where you want to go, you can see if there is availability at the other parks and modify your reservations. But at least you’ll have a reservation to go somewhere!

Inject some Disney into this classic tradition with Department 56’s Disney Village! There are tons of pieces to collect to create your own unique holiday village, and they can all be found here. You could also stick to one or two larger pieces to display as part of your Christmas decorations, like with this sweet holiday express figure!

They even have on little festive outfits, and if you take a peek behind the scene you can see their presents tucked under the tree. Whether you make this a part of a larger collection or just choose to feature this sculpture alone on your mantle, we think it’s a great addition to any holiday display!

Disney Men’s Christmas Mickey Mouse Santa Graphic T-Shirt If you live somewhere that stays warm during the winter time, sometimes you might feel a little left out. But don’t worry! You can still take part in the holiday festivities even if you never seem to get any snow. A Christmas t-shirt is one of our favorite things to throw on to get into the holiday spirit when it’s hot outside, and this Santa Mickey design is totally irresistible! Disney Men’s Christmas Mickey Mouse Santa Graphic T-Shirt We think Mickey would make an excellent Santa Claus — just look at him! He’s got the outfit down pat and is ready to pass out all the gifts from his magical bag. This tee is great for those who prefer a loose-fit and is made of super soft cotton. Wear this at home or pack it with you for the perfect top to wear on a holiday visit to the parks! Click here to buy the Mickey Mouse Santa Graphic T-Shirt! Disney Princess: Storybook Collection Advent Calendar 2022 I think we can all agree that one of the best things about the holidays is an advent calendar. It’s so exciting to check every day to see what new treat or prize is hidden inside! Instead of getting your typical chocolate calendar, go for something a bit less traditional and surprise your kids with this calendar full of books featuring their favorite princesses! Disney Princess: Storybook Collection Advent Calendar 2022 This calendar contains 24 short story books with both holiday-themed as well as everyday stories surrounding the characters. Each book is a small paperback, perfect for kids between the ages of 4 and 9. We love the idea of opening each day in the morning and reading the day’s story right before bedtime as a fun countdown up to Christmas morning!

Loungefly Disney Christmas Gingerbread Backpack with Matching Ears We always love a good two-for-one, especially when it’s Loungefly! This version of their iconic backpack is covered in a festive candy and gingerbread pattern (and frankly, it’s making us crave holiday sweets!). Gingerbread Mickeys and Minnies pattern the exterior, while the interior lining is a bright candy-themed pattern. But that’s not all! Loungefly Disney Christmas Gingerbread Backpack with Matching Ears Along with the backpack, this also comes with a matching pair of Minnie ears! The same pattern covers the ears and a huge red bow is the perfect addition. This bag also has a special ear-holder, so you can keep them safe when it’s time to hop on a rollercoaster. We think this is the perfect bag to bring with you to the parks for your Christmas Disney trip! Click here to buy the Loungefly Disney Christmas Gingerbread Backpack with Matching Ears! Christmas Minnie Ears Can’t get enough ears? Us either! This style of Minnie ears will surely get a lot of attention with its sparkly sequins. The red and green color scheme gives this pair a classic Christmas vibe, especially with the dark plaid print on the bow. Christmas Minnie Ears The sequins really add a bit of trendiness (and glitz)! We also love the large snowflakes on the ears and how they’re carried onto the bow — it almost looks like a fresh dusting of snow. Pair these ears with your favorite Christmas tee or dress and you are all set to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Click here to buy the Christmas Minnie Ears!
