Planning to visit Disney World in January of next year? Time to Fly We’ve already shared a bunch of things you’ll want to keep in mind for your 2022 trips, including one day in January when you might want to avoid going to Magic Kingdom, an update on fireworks packages, and eight 2022 dates you need to know about. Now, we’re sharing a look at flight costs in January if you’re planning your trip and still haven’t bought those airplane tickets. Our Method Just like what we’ve done for previous months, we’re using a specific method for our flight cost research. For starters, we only looked select airports from around the U.S. and got an estimate on what it would cost to fly from those airports to Orlando International Airport (MCO) in January on various airlines. When it comes to the date of the flights, the price of a trip can differ a LOT depending on when you choose to fly to Disney World. For this post, we looked at what flights would cost for a trip where our family would depart on January 13th (Thursday) and return on January 17th (Monday). ©Disney This set of days contained some slightly less expensive/more average cost days, but it also contained some days that were more expensive. This was based on a flight from New York (specifically JFK) to Orlando. The dates are closer to the middle of the month, meaning you’re already past the holiday period and past the Walt Disney World Marathon. The dates also fall within the start of the International Festival of the Arts.Some dates earlier in the month were much more expensive, and other periods had more dates with cheaper dates. Again, just keep in mind that the dates of a trip can greatly affect travel prices. For this entire post (save for the flights from Southwest Airlines) we used Google Flights to gather our prices. Prices for these flights can vary over time, vary by date, or vary once you go to actually book your flight. So, keep in mind that this post is just based on the information we saw at the time we searched. Airport Crowds Also, note that while we looked at just a price comparison between the various airlines, each airline (and different tickets from that airline) may come with different pros and cons. Some airlines or tickets might be more expensive, but they may come with more benefits like the ability to pick your seat or bring a bag with you. Others might be cheaper but not provide you with those same benefits. The best ticket and airline for your trip will entirely depend on what you want or need. We also wanted to point out that the prices listed below are essentially just base ticket prices. When you go to book your flight, you might find that the ticket is more expensive as additional taxes or fees may be required. We noted the taxes and fees for the Southwest flights. But, note that taxes and fees are likely required for ALL of the other flights/airlines as well. Orlando Airport A few other things to keep in mind: To calculate these prices we looked for the least expensive combination of flights (least expensive departing and returning flights) from the airport we were looking at to Orlando. We also looked at the most expensive combination of flights. These flights might not work for you. They might not be direct flights, they may be at inconvenient times, etc. So, keep in mind that your flight costs can vary. For flights on Southwest Airlines, we only looked at the “Wanna Get Away” tickets. For all other airlines, we used Google Flights to get our estimated prices. Your flight could be more or less expensive if you go to book it on the actual airline’s website or use other travel websites. We tried to limit our flight picks to ones that arrived on the same day of their departure. All of these ticket prices are just for 1 person. Orlando International Airport Alright, now that we’ve gone over our method, let’s look at the average cost to fly to Disney World (Orlando International Airport) in January of 2022. New York (JFK or LaGuardia) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $334.47 from La Guardia to Orlando and back (taxes and fees add an additional $72) Most expensive combination of flights: $760.52 round trip from La Guardia (taxes and fees add about $100 in addition to this cost) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $289 round trip from JFK and back Most expensive combination of flights: $845 round trip from LGA and back (Note that there were several more expensive flights to and from Newark Liberty International Airport) United: Cheapest combination of flights: $455 round trip from La Guardia and back (There were a lot of other flights that were less expensive that came to and from Newark Liberty International Airport or which arrived on a subsequent day) Most expensive combination of flights: $828 round trip from La Guardia and back On the Airplane American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $308 round trip from La Guardia and back Most expensive combination of flights: $787 round trip from JFK and back Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $138 round trip from La Guardia and back (There were some cheaper flights from Newark Liberty International Airport) Most expensive combination of flights: $307 round trip from La Guardia and back Los Angeles (LAX) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $832.14 round trip (Wanna Get Away was not available for the returning flight, so we looked at the “Anytime” flight option) (taxes and fees are an additional $114) Most expensive combination of flights: $994.94 round trip (Wanna Get Away was not available for the returning flight, so we looked at the “Anytime” flight option) (taxes and fees are an additional $126) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $314 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,575 round trip Airplane United: Cheapest combination of flights: $422 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $932 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $311 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,598 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $196 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $424 round trip Chicago O’Hare (ORD) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $263.59 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $58) Most expensive combination of flights: $760.52 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $104) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $363 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,312 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $323 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $870 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $368 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,232 round trip Ready to Fly? Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $143 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $310 round trip Dallas (Love Field or Fort Worth) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $337.08 round trip from Love Field (taxes and fees are an additional $63) Most expensive combination of flights: $760.33 round trip from Love Field (taxes and fees are an additional $91) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $437 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back Most expensive combination of flights: $1,487 round trip from Dallas Love Field and back United: Cheapest combination of flights: $426 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back Most expensive combination of flights: $928 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back New commemorative Disney plane American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $401 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back Most expensive combination of flights: $1,198 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $115 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back Most expensive combination of flights: $248 round trip from Dallas Fort Worth and back Atlanta (ATL) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $223.40 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $46) Most expensive combination of flights: $381.73 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $67) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $244 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $637 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $522 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $854 round trip Flying American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $239 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $953 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $107 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $429 round trip Denver (DEN) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $357.36 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $56) Most expensive combination of flights: $716.80 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $101) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $340 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,177 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $448 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $872 round trip Luggage American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $338 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $837 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $138 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $321 round trip Now we’ll average these prices together. Overall, the average price to fly to Disney World in January of 2022 (using our specific method outlined above) ranged from about $324.43 on the cheaper side, up to about $844.53 in terms of the more expensive options. Grab Your Bags This is slightly more expensive than the flights we had looked at for our proposed travel dates in December (which ranged in terms of averages from $280.36 to $801.49). Keep in mind, these are just averages and estimates based on the method we used. The actual cost of a flight to Orlando in January of 2022 may be very different. It can vary depending on the dates you choose, when you buy the flight, what airport you’re coming from, and more.

There are all kinds of fun photos to grab in Disney World, especially if you use a special photo prop or get some extra magic added to them with PhotoPass. PhotoPass Photographer Some of the coolest photos you can get in the parks are the super zoom shots!

Recently, a Super Zoom Magic Shot was added in EPCOT by Spaceship Earth and the fountain in the entrance! ©Disney To grab this shot, look for a PhotoPass photographer located just past the fountain. The Super Zoom Magic Shot starts with a close-up look at you and your friends/family in the photo. ©Disney Then, it’ll zoom out to show more of the park. ©Disney And it’ll keep zooming way out! Then, it’ll zoom back into your photo. It’s a really unique shot! ©Disney If you’re looking for more fun PhotoPass photos in EPCOT, you can also get a Tiny World Magic Shot near the Super Zoom spot. You can also get more family photos and Magic Shots taken near the entrance. ©Disney Or you can head to World Showplace and look for the PhotoPass photographers there. ©Disney If you’re looking for the other super zoom shots in the parks, you’ll find the one in Animal Kingdom near Expedition Everest.

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. COVID-19 is continuing to impact travel in the United States. Airport Crowds Travel restrictions remained in place for a while in the U.S., but were recently lifted to vaccinated travelers. However, now more restrictions have been put into place again due to the Omicron variant of the virus spreading. And now, there is an update on mask mandates for travel in the U.S. President Biden is set to extend mask mandates for travel through March of 2022, according to the New York Times. The mandates are that travelers wear masks on airplanes, trains, and buses, as well as at airports and transit stations. The current mandate was set to expire on January 18th, 2022. Orlando International Airport The decision is part of a plan that will be announced by President Biden today as part of a wider strategy for combating COVID-19 this winter, according to the New York Times. The strategy will also include a new requirement that international travelers will have to be tested for COVID-19 one day before leaving for the U.S. Masks will remain in place for a while longer The announcement comes as nearly 2 dozen countries — including the United States — have now detected the Omicron variant, according to the New York Times. The first confirmed Omicron case in the U.S. was recently detected in San Francisco, California in a patient who had traveled in from South Africa. Airplane President Biden has already put travel restrictions into place for people traveling to the U.S. from 8 African countries, including South Africa, according to the New York Times. As of right now, not much is known about the Omicron variant of the virus. It was first identified in Botswana and South Africa and the World Health Organization has said it’s a “variant of concern.” Face Mask Sign in Seattle Airport Stay tuned to DFB for more COVID-19 updates as it pertains to travel and tourism.

Happy holidays! Now that the holidays have arrived in Disney World and at Disneyland, it’s time to get that dose of cheer that only Disney holiday movies can provide! Happy Holidays from Disney World! So we’ve scoured Disney+ for all the holiday movies you can watch right now on the streaming subscription service. So put on your fluffiest pajamas and slippers and curl up on the sofa with a warm blanket and a hot cup of cocoa, and let’s get to it! 12 Dates of Christmas Imagine Groundhog Day, but Christmas-themed and you’ve almost got the plot of 12 Dates of Christmas. The movie follows a young woman, Kate, who has a horrible blind date on Christmas Eve, and she gets forced to relive it over and over and over. ©Disney Yes, we know that almost sounds like a movie more suited for Halloween, but trust us — there is a perfect Christmas ending to this one. Plus it has Zack Morris as one of the lead actors. Disney’s A Christmas Carol Disney’s A Christmas Carol is the traditional A Christmas Carol story we all know and love, but Disney’s version stars Jim Carrey as the crotchety Ebeneezer Scrooge, Gary Oldman as his faithful employee, and Colin Firth as his cheery nephew. ©Disney Follow this star-studded cast as Scrooge follows the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future through a journey that will change Scrooge forever. This one is always a heartwarming tale, so it’s a must-watch for the holiday season. Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is a direct-to-video sequel to Beauty and the Beast, and begins at a Christmas party at Beast’s castle after the spell on Beast has been broken. The film follows a story told by Mrs. Potts about the Christmas the year before — which means this film is basically an unseen tale that takes place during the course of events from the first movie. (Because seeing Beast in human form is kinda strange, right? It’s Beauty and the Beast. Not Beauty and the guy with nice hair formerly known as Beast!) ©Disney So the story of this movie is that Belle is trying to bring holiday cheer to the castle, but Forte, the pipe organ, isn’t having it — he doesn’t want the curse broken because he’s happier as an organ. So he and Fife, a flute, do everything they can to ruin Christmas. The Christmas Star The late Ed Asner stars in The Christmas Star as a two-time felon in prison for counterfeiting. He escapes from prison two weeks before Christmas dressed as Santa and hides out in a suburban neighborhood where two local children help him because they think he’s the real Santa. ©Disney Of course, this is a heartfelt holiday movie, so although he starts by taking advantage of the children’s kindnesses, he ends up learning about the true meaning of Christmas. It’s kinda like Bad Santa but for the whole family. This and Elf? Seriously, that man made an awesome Santa, didn’t he? Frozen and Frozen 2 Okay, we know that maybe TECHNICALLY, Frozen and Frozen 2 aren’t exactly holiday movies, but they’ve got ice and snow — AND A SNOWMAN — and it makes us think of the holidays, so it totally counts. Plus they made a Christmas-themed short. Totally counts. We love watching the tale of two sisters, one cursed/gifted with ice magic and we will sing “Let It Go” and “Into The Unknown” along with Idina Menzel EVERY TIME. ©Disney So, don’t @ us for including this in our holiday movie list. It’s a must for the holiday season! Home Alone, Home Alone 2, and Home Alone 3 (…and the new one, too) On the other hand, all the Home Alone movies are Christmas movies because they take place on Christmas. They’re all about a young boy who gets left behind on the annual Christmas vacation, leaving him to defend his family’s house (or New York City?) against burglars. What’s not to love? ©Disney These movies are timeless, fun, and perfect for family viewing on the holidays! Granted, the first two movies are connected, but the third has a completely different cast and story, so if you’re planning on watching it, you’ll want to know that! The NEW Home Alone, Home Sweet Home Alone, is another beast entirely. Coming November 12th! ©Disney It’s kind of a reboot, kind of its own thing. We won’t spoil it for you but we will say we were VERY confused how to feel with this one. The kid you’re supposed to be rooting for you kind of…don’t. At all. And the “bad guys” actually got our sympathy. Give it a shot too, but we’re sticking with the classic McCallister clan on this one. I’ll Be Home For Christmas This one’s for the 90s kids who grew up with the TeenBeat posters of JTT on their walls! This comedy is about a self-centered college student (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) who only wants to get home for Christmas so he can get a vintage Porsche his father promised him. And he’s on a deadline, which means that when he wakes up in the desert penniless with just a few days to go dressed in a Santa suit, he has to figure out how to still manage to make that trip home. ©Disney The closer he gets to home, though, the closer he gets to what Christmas is really about. We mean, that’s what Christmas movies are ALL about, right? LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special The LEGO Star Wars movies are already known for the humor, so if that’s up your lane, you’ll need to check out the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special. Rey must leave her friends to prepare for Life Day, which takes her on an adventure to further discover the Force. But she inadvertently gets sent on a time-traveling adventure, that brings her face to face with some of the most iconic characters of Star Wars. And it is HILARIOUS. ©Disney But will Rey make it back to her friends in time for Life Day? You’ll have to watch to find out. Mickey’s Christmas Carol So how many versions of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol can you watch this holiday season? As many as you want. And Mickey’s Christmas Carol features Scrooge McDuck (appropriately enough) as Ebeneezer Scrooge, with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit. Talk about perfect casting. ©Disney Poor old Scrooge has some hard lessons to learn, though, and the story plays out with some of Disney’s most famous characters in these iconic roles. Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas is an anthology of three Christmas stories. One tale is about how Huey, Dewey, and Louie learn why the holidays come once a year. The second is about how Goofy and his son, Max, discover the spirit of Santa. ©Disney Finally, the film closes with Mickey and Minnie reenacting a classic Christmas story of giving. This one is sure to hit you in the holiday feels! Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas And if that isn’t enough to get your holiday spirits flying, you can also watch the follow-up Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas! This anthology has Mickey, Minnie, and friends ALL stressed out about the holidays! First, a skating contest between Minnie and Daisy leaves the two friends jealous with hurt feelings. Then Huey, Dewey, and Louie try to figure out how to get on Santa’s good side by scheming. ©Disney Then Max finds himself embarrassed by his father’s silly holiday antics, followed by a story that sees Donald trying to resist holiday cheer. Finally, Mickey gets so obsessed with planning the perfect Christmas party that he ends up taking his frustrations out on Pluto (oh no!). Of course, in the end, everyone finds the true meaning and joy of Christmas. Muppets Christmas Carol Let’s just say we saved the best version of A Christmas Carol for last, because let’s face it — Muppets Christmas Carol is still the same heartwarming story we know, but it’s got all the funny antics and humor of the Muppets, and it just WORKS. This is of the biggest holiday movies you’ll likely watch EVERY year, and we can’t say we blame you. ©Disney In this version, Michael Caine (yes, THE Michael Caine) is Scrooge, with Kermit as his humble employee. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll be full of holiday joy by the end. Light the lamp, not the rat! Noelle In Noelle, when Santa decides to retire, his son, Nick, is supposed to take over the family business. Except that Nick gets cold feet and goes missing! It’s up to Santa’s daughter to go find him on a hilarious mission, and ultimately, they all discover what Christmas is all about. ©Disney And if that doesn’t sound delightful enough, check out the star-studded cast: Anna Kendrick, Shirley MacLaine, Bill Hader, Julie Hagerty, and more. This is a newbie to the Christmas movie lineup but it’s a solid addition! Kids and adults can enjoy this ne. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms The classic ballet The Nutcracker is always a must for the holiday season, and the Disney film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms takes that story and builds upon the fantasy. It’s actually a retelling of the short story that inspired the ballet and is about a young girl who is gifted a locked egg from her deceased mother. ©Disney This girl sets off on an adventure across a magical land to find the key. The cast features some pretty big Hollywood heavy-hitters, too, including Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Helen Mirren as Mother Ginger, and Morgan Freeman as Drosselmeyer. Olaf’s Frozen Adventure So maybe you could argue that Frozen isn’t a Christmas movie, but Olaf’s Frozen Adventure is 100% Christmas-themed (told ya!), so it’s ALL about the holidays. Olaf is on a merry mission to save Arendelle’s holiday traditions and make a perfect Christmas for Anna and Elsa. ©Disney Josh Gad returns as the voice of Olaf, and that alone should put it on your “must watch” list. One Magic Christmas You want to get up in all your Christmas feelings? Then watch One Magic Christmas, which is about a little girl named Ginny Grainger. Ginny is a cynic and hates Christmas. But Santa sends a Christmas angel to Ginny and her family (who have been suffering from hard times). ©Disney And yes, bring the tissues, because this one will make you cry as you watch Gideon try to convince Ginny that, yes, Christmas is real. Prep and Landing and Prep and Landing: Naughty or Nice The short film Prep and Landing is about a high-tech organization of elves called “Prep and Landing” from an elite North Pole unit that ensures that homes around the world are ready for Santa’s visit. But one elf, who’s been working for the unit for over 200 years, gets passed up for a promotion and ends up getting assigned to work with an idealistic rookie. Yeah, he’s not happy about that. ©Disney In the sequel, Prep and Landing: Naughty or Nice, Wayne and his idealistic rookie buddy are at it again as they go search for a kid who’s been hacking the North Pole. These are really cute and fun. Be sure to check them out! Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish Most kids might not remember Richie Rich, but the whole family will still appreciate Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish. In this story, Richie finds himself wrongfully accused of something he didn’t do, so he makes a wish that ends up trapping him in an alternate reality where everyone in town is suddenly against him and he’s no longer rich. (UGH. I mean, can’t we all relate to that? ) ©Disney It’s up to Richie, his loyal personal valet, and a professor to make things right to save Christmas for everyone. Santa Clause, Santa Clause 2, and Santa Clause 3 It’s Christmas Eve in Santa Clause (yes, with an “e”) when a man, Scott Calvin (Tim Allen), scares a strange large man in a red suit on his roof — the man falls and disappears, leaving behind his reindeer, a sleigh, and a suit with instructions. Wanna guess who the man on the roof was? Scott ends up donning the suit which lands him a brand new job — he’s now Santa. The Santa Clause ©Disney Santa Clause 2 and Santa Clause 3 continue Scott’s adventures as Santa, and all three movies are worth a marathon watch to get into the holiday spirit. Who doesn’t love Santa with a heavy hand of Home Improvement-style jokes to go with him? The Search for Santa Paws and Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups If you’re a dog lover, you’ll have to add these two movies to your watch list. In The Search for Santa Paws, Santa arrives in New York City but loses his memory. It’s up to a puppers named Paws, an orphan named Quinn, and her friend Will PLUS a group of magical talking dogs (and that should immediately sell you on this movie) to save Christmas! ©Disney In Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups, a brand new litter of talking and mischievous puppies must help Mrs. Clause to save Christmas when the Christmas spirit begins to disappear from the world. Snowglobe In Snowglobe, Angela wants nothing more than to have a perfect holiday world like the one that exists inside a Christmas snowglobe. One night, she is magically transported to that world, and later learns that it was not a dream. She continues to return to that world over and over until she realizes that she’s having a negative effect on it. ©Disney Angela must do what she can to fix what she’s broken in that world while trying to find the magic in her regular life. The Ultimate Christmas Present In The Ultimate Christmas Present, two girls stumble upon a weather-making machine left behind by Santa. They use the machine to make it snow…in Los Angeles. Needless to say, chaos ensues and the result is that Christmas might just be ruined. ©Disney It’s up to the girls to team up with Santa to save the day! Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year What’s better than a holiday story starring that silly old bear, Winnie the Pooh? In Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year, Rabbit plans a New Year’s Eve party, but he gets annoyed when Pooh and the others start to bother him (not that it takes much to bother Rabbit, right?). He even threatens to move away! ©Disney Everyone makes a New Year’s resolution to change to make Rabbit happy, but things get even nuttier when Piglet takes to bouncing to conquer his fear and Pooh becomes gloomy after giving up honey and Tigger becomes unbouncy! The horror! So there you have it — massive list of what you should add to your watch list to guarantee you’ll be in the holiday spirit! So deck the halls with Disney magic!

Disney World’s theme parks aren’t the only places to go for holiday treats! While we enjoyed some returning sweets today like the deliciously spiced Menagerie Cupcake at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we also checked out the resort hotels to see what festive snacks they had this season! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, we found a pair of treats at The Mara that may be worth going out of your way to try (while you’re there, check out their gorgeous tree in the lobby and say hi to some of their animals!). When we arrived at The Mara, however, we noticed that neither treat was in the display case. They do have them in stock; you just have to ask! The Mara First up is the cutest cookie we ever did see, the Gingeraffe! Behold! The Gingeraffe! This is a a simple gingerbread cookie in the shape of a giraffe with a gingerbread Christmas tree as a backdrop layered with cinnamon and ginger spiced icing with a decorative sugar snowflake on top. Just too adorable! Cuteness aside, this cookie is actually a solid deal! At just $4.99 you’re technically getting two LARGE cookies, which is a pretty great bargain if you ask us! The gingerbread itself was nice and soft but it held it shape together as we ate it! Like many of the other ginger treats we’ve tried this season, this cookie is BIG on ginger flavor so you’ll need to be a true gingerbread fan to enjoy. It was almost too cute to eat, but someone had to do it… Next up is the Chocolate and Peppermint Cookie Sandwich! This treat is also $4.99 and is made up of two Smoked Chocolate and Spice Cookies with Peppermint Buttercream in the middle. Chocolate and Peppermint Cookie Sandwich This was another cute treat with a design that screams “holidays.” The peppermint flavor was very strong, so be prepared before you take a bite! The two chocolate cookies were very good! While they were on the softer chewy side we did have a harder time biting into them because it was served to us pretty cold! When you let them come to room temperature, however, they get even more chewy and lovely! It’s a cookie sandwich! We aren’t totally sold on whether or not kids would be into this cookie because of the minty flavor, but it’s a gorgeous holiday treat and we enjoyed it! Look at all of that icing in the middle! Overall, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is serving up two solid snack options for the month of December. If you’re in the area now through December 31st, looking for something festive to munch on, and are fans of either ginger or peppermint, definitely head over to The Mara and try them out! Be sure to follow along for more of the latest holiday treats to pop up around Disney World this month.

There are holiday decorations to see and treats to try all over Disney World, including in hotels! Grand Floridian’s Christmas Tree is up! You can get Gingerbread Popcorn in the Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa, stop by Disney’s Beach and Yacht Clubs for their Holiday Bon Bons, and now you can visit Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort for another holiday treat made with…eggnog! Today we made our way to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to see what holiday treats they had! Caribbean Beach is a Skyliner resort, so it’s pretty easy to get to and from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort We stopped at the Centertown Market Grab & Go and found holiday treats like the Christmas Brownie Bites and the Eggnog Cupcake! Naturally, we HAD to try the cupcake. Grab n Go! And take a look! Now, this isn’t the first Eggnog Cupcake we’ve seen in Disney World. But it might be the most festive. The Eggnog Cupcake is a vanilla cupcake made with eggnog mousse and spiced whipped cream. You can try it for $5.99. Eggnog Cupcake On top of the Eggnog Cupcake is a white chocolate swirl, edible glitter, holiday sprinkles, and crispy pearls. There’s also a bit of a drizzle of green decorating gel. It’s so pretty! Eggnog fans will be happy to learn that you can actually taste the eggnog in the cupcake! The icing was a delicious spiced cinnamon whipped cream and it blends beautifully with the eggnog mouse. Decent size! For $5.99, you get a pretty decent size cupcake, and there’s a good balance of cake, filling, and icing. Inside the Eggnog Cupcake Eggnog and cinnamon fans would LOVE this holiday cupcake. But fair warning, if you have a major sweet tooth and you like your treats SWEET, this isn’t it. Don’t get us wrong, it’s delicious, but it’s not on the super sweet side of the spectrum. Head over to Centertown Market Grab & Go to get the Eggnog Cupcake for $5.99, and keep following along with DFB as we eat our way through the holiday season in Disney World!

Unfortunately, sometimes rides break down in Disney World. Splash Mountain closed Whether for technical difficulties, weather, or something unknown, it is usually unexpected when you’re in the parks. Today, one ride was shut down in Disney World due to smoke. Smoke on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster shut down the ride this afternoon and guests were evacuated from the ride and area. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster But, according to a tweet from Landon McReynolds of WKMG, there was no fire, just smoke in the building. He also says that no one was hurt and Disney is in the process of reopening the ride. When we went by to check with Cast Members, they said there is no estimated time on when the ride will reopen — they said hopefully it will reopen later today, but there is no guarantee. They also told us that the ride has been closed for a couple of hours due to “technical difficulties.” Cast Members were stationed both in the entrance of the attraction and entrance to the area, telling people the ride is closed and sending them away. Entrance to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster When we took a look at Disney Genie+, there were Lightning Lane passes open for 7:20PM, but that does not mean the ride will be open by that time.

It may feel like Disney World has been celebrating the holiday season for weeks now (after all, the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours was way back in early November!), but we’re still seeing new and returning seasonal treats pop up around the parks and resorts! Merry Menagerie Several treats debuted today, including the Elf Dome Cake! Next up, we’re heading to Flame Tree Barbecue to snack on a returning sweet. If you’re all about Disney World cupcakes like we are, then you’ll want to make note that the December cupcake over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is their Menagerie Cupcake! The Menagerie Cupcake is back! Just like previous years, it’s made with Gingerbread Cake with Cream Cheese filling, topped with Frosting and a cute edible white chocolate polar bear decoration. It looks identical to what we remember. The little polar bear is back and as cute as ever No matter the weather in Central Florida, this cupcake will make you feel like you’re in the middle of the tundra. Before we took our first bite, we noticed right away that this is an easy cupcake to photograph (just look at how cute that little guy is!). We always feel a little guilty taking a bite out of this little guy. The polar bear decor fits in perfectly with the holidays at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially since the Merry Menagerie puppets returned this year! As far as taste goes, the gingerbread cake was a standout to us, and the cream cheese filling was a perfect complimentary flavor. A winter wonderland in the palm of your hand! While we enjoyed the frosting last year, however, it came across as just okay this time around. It was a little on the plain side to us, and we would have preferred a more exciting flavor like cinnamon, or really any holiday-based flavor aside from just boring old vanilla. If you love gingerbread, however, we think you’ll enjoy this seasonal treat a lot — it’s certainly the prominent flavor! Cream cheese filling on the inside! The Menagerie Cupcake will be available in Animal Kingdom all month long for $5.99. We’ll be back with even more seasonal treats as the holidays continue at Disney World, so be sure to follow along!

There have been some major changes in leadership at the Walt Disney Company over the last two years! Bob Iger ©Bloomberg When Bob Iger stepped down as CEO and was replaced by Bob Chapek in early 2020, some changes were made to the company as roles shifted.
