Much like its sister show in Disney World, the Candlelight Processional in Disneyland is a celebrity-hosted event featuring a live choir! Candlelight Processional at Disneyland But UNLIKE Disney World, Disneyland’s event usually occurs just over one weekend at the front of the park. Today, we’re at the event to see what this year’s Processional is all about! Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional is being shown for two nights only, with two showings each night. On December 4th & 5th, you’ll be able to check the show at 5:30PM and 7:45PM each night. The event is typically by invitation only, but park guests can watch from designated areas on Main Street, U.S.A. After walking with candles to the Disneyland Railroad Main Street Station, the choir took position in front of the station to sing a variety of Christmas songs, including “Deck the Halls” and “The First Noel.” Choir This year’s processional is led by celebrity host Sterling K. Brown, known for his performances in This is Us and Frozen II. Sterling K. Brown narrating The narrator tells the story of Christmas during the performance.

Disney World is AMAZING at decorating Christmas trees! Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations Disney World’s Christmas trees are nothing short of marvelous, and they never fail to impress year after year! But this year, it looks like Disney World has some major competition in tree decorating, and you won’t be able to find it in the parks! This spectacular 50th Anniversary inspired Christmas tree is the work of former Cast Member, Alfredo Majuri Vargas! All of the pieces are handmade, and the result is absolutely stunning! Alfredo was a performer and scenic painter at Disney World and you can see he is making the most of his artistic talents! 50th Anniversary Inspired Christmas Tree! ©Artfredo Creations The castle turrets are amazing, and look just like the ones that were installed for the 50th! It even has fireworks above it! The nighttime look is also absolutely beautiful! WOW! ©Artfredo Creations Here’s a closer look at Mickey and Minnie in the center of the tree! Closer look at AMAZING 50th Anniversary Christmas tree! ©Artfredo Creations Everything on his trees is completely hand-made. He sketches everything out and then cuts, glues, and manufactures all the pieces he needs. (Can’t really walk into Target looking for giant Disney World Castle turrets for a tree!) The tree is also covered in custom glass ornaments featuring memorable photos of Alfredo’s time working at Walt Disney World. But this isn’t his first foray into the world of tree-based art. On his Instagram, Alfredo shows off his gorgeous hand-painted ornaments featuring Disney characters as well as OTHER trees he’s made including this stunning Snow White queen tree… LOOK at this Snow White tree! ©Artfredo Creations …that flips to reveal (what else?) the EVIL HAG! Ah, it’s just like the nightmares we still have from the long-gone Snow White’s Scary Adventures in Magic Kingdom (IYKYK!). And the Evil Hag! ©Artfredo Creations And we have to mention this absolute jaw-dropping Moana-themed tree complete with MAD Te Fiti on one side… The Moana tree is a whole MOOD ©Artfredo Creations …and a GORGEOUS hand-made much calmer green Te Fiti on the other side. The craftsmanship here is mind-blowing. On his Instagram page, Alfredo shares his process for some of the components of his trees, like this Te Fiti head, so you can see how he crafted them. But of course a more chill Te Fiti is there too! ©Artfredo Creations The attention to detail on this tree is breathtaking! Alfredo told us he often starts his trees in the Spring and has multiple designs going at once. What an amazing artist and such a fun medium! You can check out Alfredo’s Instagram, Artfredo Creations, here to see his other Christmas trees and Disney creations! Disney, you’ve got some serious competition when it comes to tree decorating!

If you’ve been to Disney World a time or two (or more) throughout the years, you probably have a solid to-do list filled with places to stay, things to do, and food to eat that you don’t stray from much. Disney World There’s certainly nothing wrong with that (we’ve got our own lists too!), but we’re proposing a bit of a challenge for your next vacation — try something completely different that you wouldn’t necessarily consider doing. Here are a few things you can give a go! Dine at a New Restaurant There are over 200 restaurants in Disney World and most Disney-goers tend to gravitate towards their few favorites over and over again. But, if you’re limiting yourself to the same few places, you might be missing out on some great eats and drinks that you wouldn’t normally try! Cinderella’s Royal Table So, instead of booking The Crystal Palace for the 100,000th time, plan to visit at least one new restaurant during your trip. With all of the restaurants in the parks, resort hotels, and Disney Springs, you’re bound to find something new! A lot of times you can find some hidden gems in the hotels, so maybe even try a restaurant in the resort you’re staying at. Skipper Canteen Of course, there are likely some very popular places that you can give a try (you’ll just have to book your reservation well in advance). Or you can try some underrated spots that you may not even know about like Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom or Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Click HERE to See Some of the Most Underrated Disney World Restaurants! Skip the Parks for a Day If you’re someone who typically packs their vacation with park visits, we’re proposing that you take one day and plan to do things outside of the parks instead! There are a lot of things to do at Disney World that don’t require a park ticket and you’ve likely done very few of them if you’ve been a park-focused Disney-goer in the past. Disney Springs For example, Disney Springs is a giant shopping and dining district that is home to some great restaurants, both Disney and non-Disney shopping, and, of course, Gideon’s Bakehouse (which serves up HUGE half-pound cookies). Plus, Disney World even has TWO miniature golfing courses if you’re looking for a fun activity to do with the family. Mini Golf And, if you’ve never taken time to explore the Disney World Resorts (or even the one you’re staying at), that can be a great non-park day activity! You can hop around the resorts (just keep in mind that you may need to book a dining reservation or mobile order from a spot there with current COVID-19 policies), spend some time at the resort’s highly-themed lounges like Enchanted Rose or Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, or you can take advantage of your resort pool. Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Plus, nearly every Disney hotel offers resort activities throughout the day like games at the pool, s’mores around the campfire in the evening, and a movie under the stars at night, so you could plan your day around that, too! Check Out All the Things You Can Do Without a Disney World Park Ticket HERE! Slow Down When it comes to preparing for a Disney vacation, it’s not uncommon to end up with a minute-by-minute plan of what you’re going to do between all the dining reservations, attractions, and shows. But, overplanning can often ruin many a Disney World vacation, so instead, go into your next trip with the intent to take more breaks throughout the day. Recharge at BaseLine Tap House in Disney’s Hollywood Studios So, rather than running from ride to ride to dining reservation to store, stop and smell the roses (or whatever other smell Disney is pumping through the parks)! Stop for an extra snack, people watch, or sleep in and get to the parks later. You just might find that planning less in your day can actually end up creating more long-lasting memories. Take a seat and enjoy that view! If you feel the need to plan everything in your trip, then “plan for spontaneity”. Give yourself and your travel party an hour or so a day that is intentionally unplanned to revisit a favorite attraction, grab a treat that’s been tempting you, or just take a seat on a bench and people-watch and catch your breath! Since you’ve planned for it, you won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything! Check Out The SECRET Spots To Relax and Recharge in Disney World! Stay at a Hotel You’ve Never Been To You can even switch up where you stay during your vacation, too! If you’re someone who has always stayed at a Disney World Resort, try booking a hotel off-property. You can usually save a TON of money by choosing to stay at a hotel just off of Disney World property and depending on where you stay you can get many of the same perks as if you were staying on property (like transportation, Early Theme Park Entry, etc.). Swan and Dolphin Resort Or, you can even ditch the hotel completely and consider renting a vacation home through services like AirBnb. ©Airbnb And, if you’ve never stayed at a Disney World hotel (or you always stay at the same one) switch it up and stay at a new place on property. You just might end up finding a new go-to resort! Click HERE to See the 8 Most RIDICULOUSLY Awesome Disney World Hotel Rooms! Change Up Your Routine Now, think about all the little things that have naturally been built into your Disney routine over time — do you always go towards the Mexico pavilion first at EPCOT’s World Showcase? Is there a ride at Magic Kingdom that you always tackle first? Instead of continuing on the tradition, try to change it up a little bit! Good Morning from Magic Kingdom! Go the opposite way around World Showcase, eat breakfast in the parks instead of the resort, or get to the park at rope drop if you normally sleep in. You just might be surprised by how much your park experience is different (and maybe even better!) based on when you’re there and what you do! We Bet You Didn’t Know You Could Do THIS in Disney World Switch Up How You Get Around You can even change up how you get around Disney World! If you normally rely on Disney transportation, try renting a car or using an alternate form of transportation to get around the parks. These options can often give you a lot more flexibility throughout your day. Disney Skyliner Or, if you normally bring your own car, try relying solely on Disney transportation. It’s often much cheaper than renting a car or even just paying to park your car at the Disney hotel so you may be surprised by how much money you save. And in the spirit of trying something new, try taking the Skyliner or Friendship Cruise between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, just for fun! These can be great ways to connect with your friends and family while still “doing something” plus, we find these to be super relaxing and just the recharge needed to tackle the rest of our park day!

We’ve been trying out all kinds of holiday treats in Disney World lately. Happy Thanksgiving It might seem like Disney skipped right over Thanksgiving and jumped straight into the festive season (and we won’t lie — they kinda did. Have you seen all those Christmas trees?), but we actually found a few Thanksgiving treats in the parks and at Disney Springs. And you could even get a full Thanksgiving feast at a few different restaurants on the holiday! You might be surprised by the restaurant we chose for our Thanksgiving feast (considering that it’s an Italian restaurant), but by the end of our meal we were convinced — Italians do Thanksgiving RIGHT. So obviously, you can’t go get this yummy Thanksgiving dinner just any ol’ day, BUT we know how many of you head to Disney World for Thanksgiving and want you to have a firsthand look at just how good a Thanksgiving dinner can be (even if you’re not the one cooking it!). We’re heading into Trattoria al Forno, which is an Italian restaurant described as “casual dining.” You will need reservations at this spot, which serves both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast used to be a character meal with Disney princesses, but the characters haven’t returned quite yet. You’ll find this spot at Disney’s BoardWalk, in between the AbracadaBar and the Pizza Window. Atmosphere First of all, we love that this restaurant is located right on the BoardWalk. Talk about the perfect location! This whole area is a fan-favorite spot to find great food and fun entertainment. Disney’s BoardWalk You’ll find Trattoria al Forno right on the water, surrounded by other restaurants and snack stands, and within walking distance of EPCOT. Trattoria al Forno So even if you’re not staying at the BoardWalk Inn, you can make reservations here on the same day as your EPCOT park day, if you want to try it. When it’s time to eat, just leave EPCOT through the International Gateway (the entrance/exit that’s in World Showcase, between the UK and France pavilions) and make the short walk over to BoardWalk. International Gateway Sign Although Trattoria is described as “casual dining,” it’s still a very nice restaurant. The dining room is cozy, and it has very homey Italian vibes. Let’s head in The dim lighting and cozy feel make this a perfect option if you’re looking for a more casual spot for date night during your trip. The heart of the restaurant! Trattoria also has an open kitchen, which you’ll find at a few different Disney restaurants. It was so cool to see the chefs working on the food, and the extra noise coming from the kitchen made the whole atmosphere feel a little more laid-back and fun. Warm and inviting! We sat inside the main dining room, which has both standard tables and chairs as well as booths. There’s another, smaller dining room off the main room, and there are also a few tables and chairs outside if you’d prefer to dine al fresco right on the BoardWalk. There’s some seating out here as well You also might want to eat outside if you don’t want to sit inside a loud dining room. The tables are quite close to each other inside (we were just a couple of feet away from both tables next to us), so people were talking pretty loudly, making an intimate conversation a bit difficult. Unless you get a booth, you’ll be close to your neighbor during your meal. We were pretty close to our neighbors The close tables combined with the open kitchen made this restaurant quite loud, so if you’re looking for a quiet, romantic spot, you might want to check out some other options. Remember — they do call is casual dining for a reason! Some of our favorite restaurants for romance are (when available) Victoria & Albert’s, California Grill (especially if you get a window seat around sunset time), and Jiko. Main Dining Room at Victoria & Albert’s The tables have cloth napkins with silverware, and the menus are QR codes that you can scan with your phone. They also have paper menus available if you’d prefer. Our place setting Now that you know all about this restaurant’s location, let’s get to what you really came here for — the FOOD. Eats Trattoria al Forno usually has an Italian menu with dishes like Steak Florentine, Truffle Gnocchi, Lasagna al Forno, and more. There’s also a selection of Pizza on the menu, along with some delicious desserts like Tiramisù, Panna Cotta, and House-Made Gelato. The menu recently got a big glow up and we really enjoyed all the updates. It’s casual, comforting Italian fare presented in an elevated way. Since we went on Thanksgiving, however, there was a special menu with a Thanksgiving feast instead. This meal costs $34. Thanksgiving Menu Before the food, though, we ordered an Old Fashioned to drink, which was $16. Old Fashioned This drink is made with Eagle Rare Bourbon, Angostura and Orange Bitters, with Agave Nectar. It was a pretty classically made Old Fashioned, and we thought it was great. Simple, strong, and tasty. The only garnish was the orange peel, but if you have a good drink, you don’t want to dress it up too much! Very tasty! If you like a citrus-y Old Fashioned, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the one you’ll find here. If hard liquor isn’t your deal, though, they do have beer and other cocktails as well as an extensive wine menu. Menu Menu To start out, there’s a bread service that’s included with the meal — a ciabatta roll and olive oil to dip it in. Bread Service There’s an olive spread in the oil as well, which goes great with both the bread and oil. Even if you’re not big into briny olives, we suggest giving this a try! It’s really flavorful. Olive Spread For Thanksgiving, our server also brought us some big Parkerhouse dinner rolls with butter. There were just two of us eating, so we had plenty of rolls to go around! But you could always ask your server for more if you have a larger party. Parkerhouse Dinner Rolls The rolls were basically your standard dinner rolls, and they were fluffy, light, and delicious. Can’t go wrong with these! The butter was just normal butter, but sometimes simple is better. Since the rolls were so good, we didn’t really need anything else to put on them. Butter on the side Our entrée was the Thanksgiving feast, which is the Sage and Thyme Oven Roasted Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Carrots, and a Cranberry Compote. Pan Gravy covers the turkey and potatoes. Thanksgiving Feast Like we mentioned before, it might seem weird to you that we chose an Italian restaurant for our Thanksgiving dinner. But y’all. This was some of the best Thanksgiving food we’ve ever had. This was delicious. The turkey was moist and just about melted in our mouths. As most probably learned making their turkeys last week, turkey can easily end up a little dry and chalky, especially when produced en masse but this one was NOT. We did prefer the lighter meat to the dark turkey meat, but both were very good. It’s nice to get a bit of both here. We preferred the lighter meat The herby flavor from the sage and thyme paired perfectly with the meat, and we loved the gravy on top as well. Some people see turkey as the vehicle to carry a great gravy. This one certainly did not disappoint — it had loads of savory flavor. Big fans of this turkey The mashed potatoes underneath were creamy and delicious. They’re described as Sour Cream Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes. They weren’t super unique, but the texture was *perfect.* Light and creamy! You can’t have Thanksgiving without stuffing (in our humble opinion), and the stuffing here was the star of the show. It was made of cornbread and sausage, and it was a little unique with cranberries inside as well. We thought it was incredible. (If you look above you can see it hiding under our turkey!) The veggies on the side were rainbow carrots and green beans, and both were cooked well and tasted amazing. We thought the carrots might have been a little under-cooked, but it wasn’t enough to ruin them. They’re served with herb butter. The REAL star of the show And the cranberry sauce on the side? Another winner in our books. Yes mom, we did eat our veggies. It was very sweet with just a hint of the tartness you expect from the sauce, and we loved every bite. In general, this whole dish was a delight. 10/10, would recommend heading to Italy for Thanksgiving. LOVED this sauce The dessert paired with this meal was an Apple Crostata for $11. It’s no pumpkin or pecan pie you might be used to for turkey day, but think of it like Italian apple pie! Apple Crostata Again, we were very happy to be eating this loveliness. The pie crust was crunchy, with big sugar crystals sprinkled on top. It was a little tough and almost too crunchy, actually, so the pastry wasn’t our favorite part of this dessert. We needed a higher ratio of apples to crust. A little tough But the apple filling made up for the problems with the pastry. It was for sure the highlight, with lots of flavor, big juicy hunks of apple, great texture, and a very delicious taste. We also liked the candied pecans and caramel sauce that were on top of the treat! Still very good! There’s a scoop of vanilla bean gelato on top, which paired perfectly with the rest of the dessert. It was creamy and smooth, and we liked how the coldness contrasted with the warm filling. Not our favorite part, but we weren’t mad If you like apple pie and ice cream, you’ll be a big fan of this dessert! It was very good, although we have to say that the entrée was the clear winner as our favorite part of the meal. Nosh or Not Join us for Thanksgiving (or any other meal) in Italy if: You’re looking for a casual date night spot with a homey feel and a lively atmosphere You want a delicious, satisfying Thanksgiving meal You’re staying at BoardWalk Inn or are visiting EPCOT and want a sit-down meal to relax and enjoy some high-end Italian food. There are lots of good options on the BoardWalk for dining, and this is one of our favorites for a table service meal. Check out one of the many other options at BoardWalk (or even head into EPCOT instead) if: You want a luxurious date night in a quieter, more romantic atmosphere (Trattoria is for a weekend chill date night, Victoria & Albert’s is for an anniversary) You don’t like Italian food (There are sooo many options in this area of Disney World for different kinds of food. Click here to check out more BoardWalk dining!) You’re dining on a budget and want to save some cash (This is still a pretty fancy restaurant, and the normal entrées run between $25 and $39 each. There are some great options for very good quick service meals around that will save you money.) Overall We thought that the Thanksgiving food here was delicious. Italians make up a pretty tasty take on an American classic, what can we say! It was all cooked well, flavorful, and really tasty. But on a normal night, can we really tell you to choose this restaurant when Via Napoli (some of our favorite pizza and Italian food in Disney World) is just a short walk away in EPCOT? If you don’t have a park ticket, Trattoria al Forno is still a great option. But if your main goal is pizza, you’ll want to head to the Italy pavilion in EPCOT instead. (Seriously. That pizza is crazy good at Via Napoli.) The service at Trattoria was OK but not great. Our food came out very quickly, and the server was kind and helpful. But once we had our food, we didn’t see our server again for a while. They didn’t come around frequently, and it took a while to move into dessert and get the dinner plates clear. The cocktails also took a pretty long time to get to us. Trattoria al Forno It’s possible that the holiday made for a busier restaurant and that’s why our service wasn’t amazing, so you might have a very different experience on your trip. The entrée was fabulous here, and the drink and dessert were both good (but not mind-blowingly great). So next Thanksgiving, we’ll definitely be remembering this option for turkey day. For any other meal, we might recommend looking around in EPCOT’s World Showcase or elsewhere on the BoardWalk. That said, again, we have really enjoyed most of our meals here!

When it comes to holiday snacks, Disneyland has really brought it! Mickey and Minnie in their holiday gear at Disneyland After trying out the Holiday Grey Stuff, holiday beignets, and a fantastic holiday shake, we’re certainly impressed with their festival offerings! And today we tried another new holiday treat at Disneyland. So does it stack up to the rest we’ve had? The answer is a resounding “YES!”. This treat is the Chocolate and Peppermint Ice Cream Sundae and, well, with those flavors we were fans before we even tasted it. It’s made with Scoops of Chocolate and Peppermint Ice Cream in a Candy Cane Premium Waffle cup topped with Whipped Cream, Chocolate-dipped Cookies, and Crushed Peppermint. Chocolate and Peppermint Ice Cream Sundae And let’s just say that for us, this one was another win. The sweet chocolate mixed with the cool peppermint flavor just tastes like Christmas! And you know what? We’d totally get this treat again. With that being said, though, you need to like minty flavors to appreciate this one, and we know not everyone does. And it’s pretty, too! But if you’re craving peppermint, and can’t get your hands on those famous Disneyland candy canes, this is a solid option! Mickey ears! So if you’d like to try this ice cream sundae out, it’s available now at Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream at Disneyland for $7.99. And we’ll keep trying all the holiday snacks at Disneyland AND Disney World, so don’t go anywhere!

The holidays are here, which means that you’re probably enjoying some delicious festive food, whether in a Disney park or at home! Step Aside, Thanksgiving. CHRISTMAS is coming! We just finished up with one giant feast, but you know we’re already looking forward to the next one. To help you get ready for a fantastic Christmas Day meal — and put a little Disney spin on it at the same time — we’ve got a BUNCH of Disney recipes that work together to create the best Christmas feast ever. Let’s start out with some bread for the appetizer. Since the holidays are a time for family and friends, what better place to draw inspiration from than ‘Ohana? ‘Ohana And it helps that this restaurant (located at Disney’s Polynesian Resort) has some of the best bread in town. Pineapple Coconut Breakfast Bread from ‘Ohana Yield 1 – 9″ x 13″ cake pan Ingredients 1 3/4 C. Water 1 Egg Yolk 2 T. Shortening 4 1/2 C. High Gluten Flour 1/2 tsp. Salt 1/3 C Sugar 1 T. Instant Yeast Coconut Mixture 1 C. Crushed pineapple 1 C. Unsweetened coconut 1 C. Sugar 2 T. Cornstarch Pineapple Coconut Bread. YUM. Pineapple/Coconut Method Combine pineapple and coconut in bowl. Combine sugar and cornstarch in separate bowl and mix well. Add sugar and cornstarch mixture into pineapple and coconut mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Bread Method Combine all ingredients in order of recipe in mixing bowl, and mix with dough hook until dough picks up on hook and the sides of the mixing bowl is clean. Let dough rise until it doubles in size. Roll out dough onto a floured surface until it is 2 inches thick. Next spread pineapple/coconut mixture over the top of the dough. Fold dough onto itself, capturing the pineapple and coconut mixture inside. Cut dough into pieces with a pizza cutter and spread out cut pieces evenly in a greased 9″ x 13″ pan. Let dough rise in warm oven (110 degrees F) – about half way up the pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let bread cool, cut and serve. You may want to brush on a thin, sweet glaze as well. We’re taking a look at the main course next! Although turkey is a classic dish to have on Christmas, we just ate a ton of turkey a few days ago. Hollywood and Vine So we’re going to head to Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a little twist on the traditional food. Turkey Pot Roast from Hollywood & Vine Ingredients 5 lbs. turkey thigh meat, raw 1 cup onions, diced 1 cup celery, diced 1 cup carrots, diced 1/2 cup tomato paste 1 to 2 gallons brown gravy (demi sauce) 1 qt. burgundy wine 2 cups potato wedges (roasted) 1/4 cup oil 1/4 cup flour Salt and pepper to taste Method Heat oil in roast pan. Add turkey meat and cook until brown. Add onions, celery, carrots, continue cooking. Add flour and tomato paste, mix well. Add wine and bring to boil. Add brown gravy, bring back up to boil. Reduce heat. Cover and place in oven at 350° for one hour until vegetables and meat are cooked. (Note: the gravy is to cover meat and vegetables about 1 inch over top) Check seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. When done, remove from pan and serve with roasted potatoes wedges. And of course, you can’t have turkey without some stuffing to go along with it! Liberty Tree Tavern Liberty Tree Tavern in the Magic Kingdom has some of the best stuffing around. Cornbread Stuffing from Liberty Tree Tavern Ingredients 12 cups cornbread cubes 1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic 1 cup onion, chopped 1 cup celery, chopped 1 teaspoon rubbed sage 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 1/2 cups turkey stock (chicken may be substituted) Stuffing Method In a preheated 400° oven, toast bread cubes 5 to 7 minutes or until barely golden. In a large skillet over medium/low heat, cook the garlic, onions and celery for 3 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a bowl and add the bread cubes, herbs, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Toss well and adjust seasoning as desired. Additional broth may be necessary to achieve the desired consistency. We don’t know about you, but where we’re from, macaroni & cheese is a staple for holiday meals. Jiko Dining Room We borrowed a recipe from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for this one, because Jiko‘s mac & cheese is absolutely to die for. Macaroni & Cheese from Jiko Ingredients Mornay Sauce 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup flour 1 quart whole milk 1 1/4 cups Quattro Fromage (4-cheese mixture of asiago, provolone, fontina, and gruyere cheeses) 2 pounds elbow macaroni Mac and Cheese at Jiko Method Prepare the macaroni according to the directions on the package. Make a roux with the flour and butter over low heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and work in the roux. Add cheese and salt to taste. Pour over the macaroni and heat through in a moderate oven. OK, we know that The Wave…of American Flavors isn’t a thing anymore. This restaurant, which is located inside Disney’s Contemporary Resort, was recently replaced with Steakhouse 71. The Wave Although we LOVE the food at the new Steakhouse 71, we’re throwing it back to get this Southern Sweet Mashed Potatoes recipe from the Wave. Southern Sweet Mashed Potatoes from The Wave Ingredients 2 cups diced sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons whole butter 4 tablespoons heavy cream 2 teaspoons brown sugar pinch of salt pinch of black pepper 3 tablespoons Jim Beam Bourbon Method Steam sweet potatoes until well cooked. While potatoes are cooking, place butter, sugar, cream, and cook off bourbon on a small pot and heat up. When potatoes are done, place in oven for 5 minutes or so to get some of the moisture out of them. Place potatoes in a mixer with the whip attachment and whip away. Add cream mixture and then season with salt and pepper and taste. Re-season with more salt, pepper or Jim Beam as you see fit. Since our parents are going to be at Christmas dinner, we probably should put some veggies on the table to make them happy. ‘Ohana We’re back at ‘Ohana for a delicious green beans recipe! Green Beans from ‘Ohana Yield: 6 servings Ingredients 2 lb. fresh green beans 1 medium red onion, sliced ½ inch thick 3 cloves fresh garlic (whole) 3 TBS canola or vegetable oil 2 TBS low sodium soy sauce 2 TBS granulated sugar ½ tsp Kosher salt To Taste – fresh ground black pepper 1 lb. bacon, crispy, crumbled Method Wash green beans in cold water. Snip both ends and break in half. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beans and blanch for 1 minute. Strain. Heat a wok or fry pan over medium high heat. Add oil, then add garlic and sliced onions and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add green beans and stir-fry for 2-4 minutes depending on how well done you prefer your beans cooked. Add soy, seasonings and continue to stir-fry for 1 more minute. Adjust seasonings if desired. Garnish with crispy crumbled bacon pieces. And just to make the meal a little more festive, we’re including a Cranberry Relish. Garden Grill You can normally find this relish at the Garden Grill Restaurant, which is located in the Land pavilion at EPCOT. Cranberry Relish from The Garden Grill Yield: 12 servings Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cups frozen cranberries, sliced 1 cup sugar 1 cup orange juice ½ teaspoon orange compound (dried orange peel – can be omitted) ½ teaspoon dried ginger 4 ounces mandarin oranges, in a can, diced Method In a sauce pan, add olive oil and heat. Add cranberries. When the cranberries begin to break down, add the sugar, orange juice, orange compound and ginger. Cook ingredients until they are incorporated, then remove from heat. Add small diced mandarin oranges and chill. Store in air-tight container in refrigerator. Now we’ve finally reached the most important part: DESSERT. Ghirardelli Let’s hop over to Disney Springs to get the recipe for Chocolate Fudge Pie from — who else? — Ghirardelli. Chocolate Fudge Pie from Ghirardelli Ingredients 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1 1/4 cups Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Premium Baking Chips 3 tablespoons butter 1 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ¾ teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped 1 frozen pie crust shell (9 inches), unbaked 1 bottle Ghirardelli Premium Caramel Sauce (17 oz) Inside Ghirardelli Method Preheat oven to 375° F. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the evaporated milk, chocolate, and butter on low for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and combined, about 2-3 minutes total. (You could also use a double boiler or heavy saucepan on the stove to melt the ingredients, stirring constantly.) Whisk sugar and flour into chocolate mixture, stirring to combine. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Whisk in vanilla and salt. Stir in pecans. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 375°F for 34 to 36 minutes or until set. After 25 to 30 minutes, cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning the crust. Cool 10 minutes. Drizzle the desired amount of caramel sauce over the pie and serve. And now you’re all set to start chowing down! Keep following DFB for more delicious Disney recipes and all the holiday news from the parks.

Disney Very Merriest After Hours Continues The new holiday After Hours event kicked off last month, but there are several dates you can attend in December, and some still have tickets available. It lasts from 9PM-1AM on select nights after Magic Kingdom closes for the day, and you’ll be able to enjoy low crowds, short wait times, and a variety of event-specific entertainment and activities. This event is full of fun surprises! During Very Merriest, you can catch Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Mickey & Minnie’s Very Merry Memories stage show, and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. On top of that, you can enjoy some free snacks (including cookies and hot chocolate!) and several exclusive character sightings. If you’re a night owl or a Christmas fanatic, this is the event for you! Here’s EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Very Merriest After Hours! Some Club-Level Options Are Returning When the Disney World Resort Hotels first reopened, some offerings remained unavailable, including the club-level lounges. We’ve started to see some of those lounges return in the past few months, but not all of them are back in business just yet. Chronos Club at Gran Destino Tower In December, two more club-level lounges reopen on the 16th: Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. If you’re looking for a little more luxury in your resort stay, this might be an option to look into for your trip! Tickets May Be Unavailable on Select Dates In late November, Disney released an update on theme park tickets for the holiday season, noting that some dates might be unavailable, likely due to the capacity restrictions in the parks. (Those dates where tickets were unavailable correlated with dates that were completely booked up in the Disney Park Pass system.) Holiday season crowds in Disney World are no joke! A few days later, some of those previously unavailable dates opened up again, but it’s important to check the calendar before purchasing and finalizing any plans. And if you haven’t made your Disney Park Pass reservations, do that ASAP! Click Here to Learn More About Disney Park Passes! Some Event Exclusives Will Be Offered Closer to Christmas Currently, the only way to see most of the Very Merriest After Hours holiday entertainment is to attend the party. However, it has been shared that some of these offerings will be available in the daytime closer to Christmas Day! This parade is the best! Starting on December 22nd, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will travel down Main Street, U.S.A. in the afternoon daily until December 31st. This often happens during the holiday season, but this year it’s extra special — it’s the first time that Disney World has had a daytime parade since the parks closed in March 2020! A Popular Show is Returning Ever since the parks reopened, we’ve had entertainment options slowly returning one at a time. On December 19th, the fan-favorite Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is coming back to Hollywood Studios after being gone for 21 months! We can’t wait! Other entertainment options that returned so far have been modified to allow for social distancing, so we’re interested to see how this one will work when it returns…since the nature of the show requires performers to be close to each other. We’ll be there on reopening day to bring all the details! Click Here to See the Showtimes for Indiana Jones! 50th Anniversary Celebrations Are Still Happening With all the holiday festivities going on, it may be easy to forget that it’s still the 50th Anniversary celebration in Disney World! The 18-month-long event kicked off on October 1st and it’s still going strong, with a variety of things to see in the parks. There’s plenty to see and do for the 50th still. Throughout December, make sure to check out the new fireworks shows, restaurants, decorations, and ride that all came for the anniversary. They’ve also got unique snack and food offerings, as well as several merchandise collections to honor the big milestone. Kali River Rapids is Partially Under Refurbishment If you’ve been to Disney World in the winter before, then you’ve likely seen the water rides closed for refurbishment in those colder months. Kali River Rapids at Animal Kingdom closed on November 1st, and it will remain closed through December. Kali River Rapids will be open soon! The ride is set to reopen on January 4. Get the Details on Current Refurbishments Here! There Are Some New/Modified Attractions to Check Out! In the past few months, several attractions have seen modifications in the parks, whether permanent or temporary. For starters, Mickey’s PhilharMagic just reopened a few weeks ago with an added scene from Pixar’s Coco and some seriously upgraded 3D technology. They even updated the exterior! What else came back in November? Well, character meet-and-greets returned in a modified way, now called “character sightings.” Many characters have returned to their old meet locations, where you can get some one-on-one time with them. However, hugs and autographs aren’t available for the time being. Mickey is back at Town Square Theater! And, for a shorter-term modification, the beloved Jungle Cruise holiday overlay is back, the Jingle Cruise! You’ll be ho ho ho-ing all the way through this ride during the next few weeks, as the Jungle Cruise Skippers give their classic puns a holiday twist. This ride is a ho ho hoot! We’ve got a lot of excitement coming in the next few months, and 2022 kicks off in just a few short weeks!

If you’ve visited Disney World with an infant, you’re probably very familiar with the Baby Care Centers throughout the parks, including the one at Magic Kingdom. Baby Care Center This Baby Care Center is usually located between The Crystal Palace and Casey’s Corner but was recently closed for refurbishment, meaning that a temporary Baby Care Center was set up in Tomorrowland. But now the original Baby Care Center at Magic Kingdom is back — and it’s now got a new wonderful — or should we say wonderland-ful? — theme! Baby Care Centers are fully staffed with Cast Members ready and willing to assist Disney World guests with infants. You’ll find private nursing rooms, changing rooms, feeding areas with highchairs, KID-SIZED potties (for the potty-training littles!), and a shop with essential baby supplies like diapers, baby food, wipes, clothing, and more. Let the White Rabbit show you where to go We checked out the reopened Baby Care Center today to get a look at its new Alice in Wonderland theme, and we have to say, it’s all quite charming! Down the rabbit hole we go The Queen of Hearts is lurking in the wallpaper along with Alice and other characters. She even seems kind of…nice here, right? Such sweet details There are a lot of nods and details to the story of Alice In Wonderland — and hey, is that Dinah? Also, look at that lovely wallpaper with the white roses and various characters from the story. The book’s title is “It Doesn’t Matter Which Way You Go.” Also, check out that Looking Glass. OH and those stuffed Mome Raths on the shelf?? How cool, right?! These details! The White Rabbit even has a whole shelf dedicated to him — there are rabbit photo frames, a pocket watch, other rabbit figures, and blocks that read “I’m late.” Rabbit The display with the tea sets is also a nice touch. Is anyone up for a Mad Tea Party? Tea? Even Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum get represented! The Tweedles! The entire area is just curiouser and curiouser and we think parents are really going to appreciate it. So if you happen to need the Baby Care Center at Magic Kingdom, it’s back in its original location and you’ll have a chance to go down a rabbit hole to get there — how fun! And we’ll let you know about other reopenings at Disney World, so stay tuned. Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

In 2018, Spike the Bee became one of the unofficial mascots for EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival! Spike the Bee at EPCOT! This cute little guy was featured in many early Disney cartoons, and now, he’s become an icon in EPCOT! All of the love Spike the Bee has gotten seems to have inspired more visitors to flock to EPCOT. We don’t mean the human kind though. Bees have become such a presence at one EPCOT spot that Disney has had to take matters into its hands! You know that old myth that there are no mosquitos or insects in Disney World? HA…um…not true at ALL. For a number of years now, we’ve found ourselves face to face with Spike the Bee’s extended family around Disney World. It’s not just bees either — we’ve seen yellowjackets and more! BEES But one spot seems to be Bee Central: The Joffrey’s Coffee in the Canada Pavilion. If you’re feeling deja vu, it’s for a reason — 2 years ago, this same booth was forced to close or delay opening a number of times due to, you guessed it, BEES. Well this time, they took action and they went so far as to print up signs for it! Bee Warning at Joffrey’s Here’s our culprit. In its defense, Joffrey’s is super delicious! Bummer that no syrups or sauces are being used for now, but it makes sense. A few days ago we spotted the Cast Members here trying to keep the syrups away from guests just in case, but looks like they needed to do more than that! The Bee behind EPCOT’s latest scandal Remember though EPCOT has 3 other Joffrey’s locations you can check out instead — maybe the bees don’t know about those yet? Are they Canadian bees and sticking around where they know? HMM. While we’re thankful for bees for pollination, honey, flowers, and whatnot, we don’t wanna share our latte with them. We hope they understand! We’re always staying up to date on everything going on in the Disney Parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more! Click here to check out what else is new in EPCOT!

It’s time for another update on what’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week. Closed sign If you’re heading into the parks next week, there are a few attractions, restaurants, and rides that you won’t be able to visit due to some scheduled refurbishments. We’ll take a look at each one and let you know when these will be available again. Let’s take a look at each of the theme parks to see which rides and attractions are going to be closed. EPCOT You might not have noticed yet, but some of the bling is missing from EPCOT’s Morocco pavilion in the World Showcase. That’s because the gift shop Souk-al-Magreb has been closed. Still closed! This gift shop usually has souvenirs inspired by Morocco, including bright and colorful clothing items and collectibles. Souk-al-Magreb (April 2021) It was supposed to open a few weeks ago, but since then Disney has put it back on the refurbishments schedule, and it’s now going to be closed at least through January 2022. This could be due to the supply shortages that we’ve seen affecting other merchandise locations in Disney World. Click Here to Learn More About the Supply Shortages in Disney World Disney’s Animal Kingdom At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a popular water ride is still closed for some routine updates and maintenance. Kali River Rapids Kali River Rapids closed on November 1st, and it originally was going to reopen in mid-December of this year. For a while, Disney’s calendar showed this ride reopening on December 16th, but now it looks like it won’t be open until January 4th, 2022. Kali is Closed We’ll keep watching for updates on the progress of this refurbishment! Click Here to Learn About Another BIG Ride That’s Closing Soon in Disney World Magic Kingdom The Walt Disney World Railroad is still closed in the Magic Kingdom, although we saw an update on the refurbishment’s progress at Destination D23 last month. Walt Disney World Railroad The train looks better than ever now! But we might not see it in action until the construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run finishes up over in Tomorrowland. Tron Construction — Late November 2021 Some of the construction is getting in the way of the railroad tracks, so the train can’t run right now. Fantasyland Station Disney hasn’t announced a date for the opening of TRON or the WDW Railroad, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear anything. Click Here to See More Updates from Destination D23 Disney World Hotels The parks aren’t the only places with closures next week. One Disney World hotel still hasn’t reopened at all. Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort never reopened after Disney World’s closure last year, although it did have an opening date in December at one point. All-Star Sports Entrance Since then, Disney has announced that All-Star Sports will not open on that date, and it’ll remain closed for the foreseeable future. The delay is due to some extra construction going on inside the resort. All-Star Sports Resort For anyone staying at Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside Resort, be aware that Boatwright’s Dining Hall is not yet open for business. Boatwright’s at Port Orleans Riverside Luckily, its closure will not last much longer. Boatwright’s is scheduled to reopen on December 14th this year. So you’ll be able to enjoy their southern specialties soon, like the signature jambalaya, prime rib, and shrimp and grits. Deep South Shrimp and Grits Over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, the Disney Vacation Club Villas are under construction right now as Disney adds some enhancements to the rooms. Grand Floridian Specifically, there will be new pull-down beds added to the villas to allow for more sleeping room inside. ©Disney That’s it for our update on everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week!

It may be wintertime, but in Florida, we eat ice cream and drink milkshakes ALL year long! Lately, Disney has been in a festive mood — we’ve seen new sugar cookie-inspired Minnie ears, tried some cookies on the Cookie Stroll in EPCOT, and admired the decorations all around the parks and resorts! Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! While we were in Disney’s Hollywood Studios this morning, we noticed a NEW holiday milkshake! Does it taste as good as it looks? Let’s find out! There’s a new milkshake at Hollywood Studios’ resident cute little ice cream stand on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood Scoops. It’s bright, white, and covered in CANDY CANES! The new Holiday Candy Cane Shake is made with vanilla candy cane ice cream, and is topped with whipped cream, a chocolate cake doughnut, and little candy cane pieces! New shake alert! Let’s talk flavors. If you’re a fan of mint ice cream, you’ll probably enjoy this candy cane milkshake! The ice cream has a sweet vanilla taste with a subtle candy cane flavor, but the mint isn’t overpowering at all! In fact, the shake was quite well-balanced in our opinion. We thought it was a great mix of sweet and minty. This screams PEPPERMINT! As with most Disney desserts, this is pretty sweet (some might say a little too sweet), so keep that in mind if you’re not a huge fan of sweet treats. This milkshake was very filling — it’s basically a meal in itself! If you have a big dining reservation coming up, you might want to make sure you’ll have room for another meal! This is practically a MEAL! BT-DUBS, you’re in Disney World. No one will judge you for licking the sides of a milkshake cup in front of the Tower of Terror at breakfast-time to get all the crushed candy cane bits. NO ONE! Live your life! Those lil candy cane bits are like “please eat meee!” The chocolate donut was a fun addition, but the real star of the show is obviously the shake. What a FUN topping! Overall, we really enjoyed the new Candy Cane Shake at Hollywood Scoops! If you aren’t a fan of candy cane/peppermint, you might want to skip this one, but for all our holiday lovers, give this shake a try if you get the chance! You can try it for $9.49.

Happy Festival of the Holidays! This year’s EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is well underway and we’ve talked about what we consider what’s the best of the fest, but now we want to know what YOU think are the best treats! The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! That’s why we’ve been asking our readers to vote over on our Instagram page for what they consider the best Festival of the Holidays treats! Today, we’ve got the results from Round Three of our Festival of the Holidays Bracket. Let’s dive in! Our first matchup features the Chocolate Crinkle Cookie from the American Holiday Kitchen Booth, which is a favorite of ours and has a nice piece of Dove Chocolate on top… Chocolate Crinkle Cookie made with DOVE Dark Chocolate …and the Snickers-Doodle Cookie from the Yukon Holiday Kitchen Booth, which is a Snickerdoodle with a Snickers crumble on top (get it? GET IT?!)! We weren’t as impressed by this cookie as the Crinkle. Yukon Beer Flight and Snickers-Doodle cookie In this battle of the cookies, it seems you all agree! The Crinkle Cookie was the champ! Despite featuring the combo of a classic cookie and a classic candy bar, the Snickers-Doodle couldn’t win. The Crinkle takes the cake! In the next face-off, we’ve got the Bomboloni alla Cioccolato-Nocciola, which are Italian doughnuts stuffed with chocolate-hazelnut spread and topped with powdered sugar from the Tuscany Holiday Kitchen Booth… Bombolini alla Cioccolato-Nocciola …and the Mini Pumpkin Pie Funnel Cake from the Funnel Cake Kiosk in the American Adventure Pavilion! This one is a pumpkin funnel cake topped with pumpkin ice cream, whipped cream, caramel, and graham cracker crumbles. The Pumpkin Pie Funnel Cake SHOCKING TWIST! While we liked the Bomboloni, we LOVED the funnel cake The Bomboloni was the winner in this battle! Much like the Crinkle Cookie, the Bomboloni won by a pretty significant margin! Bombolini wins! Now that we’ve seen some sweet treats, let’s switch over to something more savory! In the battle of savory treats, we’ve got the Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl with Steamed Baby Vegetables and Marble Potatoes from the Bavaria Holiday Kitchen Booth… Cheese in a bread bowl! …and the Tamal de Barbacoa, which is shredded barbacoa beef in a corn masa topped with ranchera sauce, queso cotija, and crema Mexicana, from the Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen! Tamal de Barbacoa The Cheese Fondue won with a whopping 66% of the vote! Although the Tamal De Barbacoa is a tasty treat, it couldn’t beat a big ol’ bowl of cheese. Sorry, but we feel that! Nothing beats cheesy fondue! For the final match-up of Round Three, we’ve got sweet versus savory! This is a tough one! From the Chestnuts & Good Cheer Booth, we’ve got the Cinnamon-glazed Pecans going up against… Cinnamon-Glazed Cashews …the Ravioli from the Tuscany Holiday Kitchen, which is Shrimp ravioli in scampi sauce with white wine, garlic, lemon zest, and parsley! The Shrimp Ravioli In a close margin of 3%, the Shrimp Ravioli just barely won against the Cinnamon-Glazed Nuts! Tuscany Holiday Kitchen stays alive for another round. Ravioli is the winner! Those are the results from Round Three! If you want to vote in Round Four of the bracket, check out our Instagram page.

Now that the holiday season has officially arrived at Disney World, we’ve been busy enjoying a lot of the holiday foods. Holiday cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse We ate our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, as well as tried out many other holiday snacks around the resort. But while we were eating our way around Disney World, we were also keeping a close eye on restaurant menus to see what’s changed. So let’s get on with the updates! Magic Kingdom Tony’s Town Square The Garlic-Parmesan Wings from Tony’s Town Square have been removed from the menu. Tony’s Town Square! This is the only change we’ve seen here, though! Read Our Latest Review of Tony’s Town Square Disney’s Animal Kingdom Tiffins Tiffins has changed out a Specialty Cocktail. The Firefly Margarita was removed and replaced by the Green Shimmering Margarita for $16 — which is basically the same thing, with Bols Blue Curacao added. Firefly Margarita Note: You can still get the Firefly Margarita at Dawa Bar. Check Out Our Most Recent Review of Tiffins Restaurantosaurus Restaurantosaurus has added a new kid’s option to its menu: Grilled Chicken Strips. Restaurantosaurus These strips include a Sand Pail and Shovel and are served with a choice of two sides and a choice of Small Lowfat Milk or Small DASANI Bottled Water for $9.49. Here’s Why Restaurantosaurus is Perfect For a Quick, Easy, No Frills Meal at Disney World Flame Tree Barbecue Mandarin Orange Vodka Lemonade has been taken off the menu at Flame Tree Barbecue. Mandarin Orange Vodka Lemonade Everything else here, though, is the same.

It’s the week after a very busy Thanksgiving weekend, so let’s check in on how busy the Disney World parks are! Bright, sunny Cinderella Castle! The holidays are a super popular time for people to visit Disney World, but it’s still early December, and we never know when the parks are gonna have unexpectedly busy days! This morning, we went to two Disney parks to see how those weekend morning crowds are doing! We went to Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios this morning to see how the crowds are doing. Did the hefty Thanksgiving crowds die down or are late holiday travelers still filling the parks?! Let’s start with Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom It’s December, it’s Magic Kingdom, there’s gonna be people. There was already a solid crowd forming outside the entrance before opening. Crowds waiting to get in to Magic Kingdom Here’s another look at how those crowds were outside the park! More crowds outside Magic Kingdom Especially at the beginning of the day, it’s hard to find a moment where Main Street, U.S.A. isn’t congested. Crowds on Main Street Here’s another look at the Main Street crowds, looking a bit tight! Lots of people rushing to the Castle! However, as the day went on, things cleared up a bit as people were able to spread through the park. Haunted Mansion had a fairly long line, but definitely still manageable! Queue for The Haunted Mansion this morning! Here’s another look at that Mansion queue! Line at Haunted Mansion, but nothing true Mansion fans can’t handle! While there are definitely loads of people at MK today, there are still moments of calm, like this spot near Liberty Square! Calm in Liberty Square! There are lots of people at Magic Kingdom today, but nothing too crazy! Hollywood Studios Studios saw quite the large crowds this morning before open! Crowds waiting outside Hollywood Studios! Studios is poppin this morning! Here’s another look at the crowds we found at the entrance. More crowds waiting outside Hollywood Studios! This huge wave of people at opening made Hollywood Boulevard pretty crowded! People arriving to Hollywood Studios! It can be quite the rush getting from the entrance to the other areas of the park first thing in the morning, and we saw some of that this morning! Crowds heading down Hollywood Boulevard! As the morning went on, things were still pretty busy on Sunset Boulevard! Sunny day on Sunset Boulevard! We were still able to find little pockets of calm in Studios, though! The park is definitely busy today, but you’ll still have some space! Chill moment on Sunset Boulevard! Overall, while both parks have seen a lot of guests this Saturday morning, it’s nothing we can’t handle! Both Magic and Studios had sizable crowds when they opened, but things spread out and calmed down as the morning went on! Seems like a lot of the Turkey Day travelers have possibly headed home! We’ll keep checking to see when the heavy-duty Holiday crowds arrive on the scene! Stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney parks news! Click Here to check out what’s new at Magic Kingdom this week!
