It’s the holiday season, and you know what that means: new treats, new decorations, new character meet and greets, and new holiday parties! There’s SO much to see and do (on both coasts!), but lucky for you we’re here to show you all Disney’s new holiday offerings. Happy holidays! Today, we’re in Disneyland’s California Adventure park trying some new holiday treats. What’s on the menu? Let’s take a look! Over at Award Wieners, there’s a new dessert called Chocolate-Marshmallow Funnel Cake Fries. That’s right, Funnel. Cake. Fries. We’re already excited. A match made in heaven… This genius creation is made of cinnamon-cocoa dusted churro fries drizzled with marshmallow, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. It looks a little messy, so grab some napkins! Sweet fries? Yes, please! Admittedly, we waited about 20 minutes for these fries, so you might need to put on your patience pants if you want some funnel cake goodness in fry-form. As for the taste, the strong chocolate with a hint of cinnamon was our favorite part! The fries tasted nice and fresh and had a nice crunch without being too hard. Funnel Cake + Chocolate + Marshmallow = YUM If you like chocolate (and funnel cake), you’ll love this dessert! The chocolate paired nicely with the funnel cake, but if you’re not a big chocolate person, you might want to skip this one. You can pick up a plate of Chocolate-Marshmallow Funnel Cake Fries for $8.99 at Award Wieners in California Adventure. In the meantime, stay tuned for more snack reviews and Disney news!

Heading to Disney World? Do yourself a favor and maybe skip the latest TikTok trend because you never know if dressing like that will get you a one-way ticket back to the parking lot! No outfit faux pas here! When you’re packing for Disney World, it’s important to know what the expectations are for what you wear to the parks so you don’t find yourself riding the monorail of shame back to your hotel room to change. So, to save you the time and money of having to make an unexpected trip to the gift shop for Disney t-shirts, we’re covering everything you need to know to make sure you’re ready for a comfortable and Disney-approved day at the parks! Would Your Mother Approve of That Shirt? Clothing With Obscene Language and Objectionable Material Disney World was created to be a spot where families can escape to have a fun vacation and make memories. And, a big part of being a family-friendly park is keeping things PG — even what the other guests are wearing! Because of this, Disney does not allow guests to wear clothing with obscene language or any objectional material. Disney shirt are a-okay! This one is at Cast Member discretion too so if someone there decides your racy saying on your shirt has no place there, you’ll be asked to change or leave. So, if you wouldn’t wear it to your family holiday party, then it’s probably going to be a no-go for your day at Disney World. Click HERE For 9 One-Of-A-Kind Disney Shirts You CAN’T Get in the Parks! Excessively Torn Clothing As someone who was part of the generation that grew up when boot-cut jeans were trendy, it can be hard to believe that we’re now paying good money for clothes that come with holes in them. Disney certainly isn’t asking guests strolling into the parks in distressed jeans to head back to the hotel and change, but there is a point where there’s more skin showing than there is shirt, and that’s where Disney draws the line. Wear the wrong thing and you might have to shop for some new clothes You likely have seen at your local mall or store someone in jeans that look more like bare legs with just tattered threads of denim holding on for dear life. That’s more what this has in mind. Or shirts with holes in questionable spots. This is another case where you want to be sure that you’re being mindful about your outfit choice before you head into a park filled with kids meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time. Check Out 10 Disney Shirts That EVERYONE Will Be Asking You About HERE! Very Revealing Articles of Clothing Speaking of clothes that are so torn up that you’re showing more skin than your mom would have let you get away with in high school, Disney also does not allow guests to wear very revealing articles of clothing that could be viewed as “inappropriate for a family setting.” Make sure your shirt isn’t overly cropped! But, what exactly does that mean? Well, some of it is up to the discretion of Disney, but generally, you’ll want to skip the sports bras, overly cropped crop tops, super short shorts, and anything else that you’d be embarrassed to walk into church in. Click HERE to Learn About 10 Things That Are BANNED From Disney World! Anything That Detracts From Other Guests at the Park And, to swoop in and hit anything that might be missed but is still inappropriate in a family-friendly setting, Disney’s dress code also states that guests cannot wear “anything that detracts from other guests at the park.” Now, this one is broad for a reason — there seems to always be a new fashion trend and Disney would be amending their policies a whole lot if they kept up with each of them. You don’t want your outfit to distract from everything else in the parks! So, put on your outfit, snap a mirror selfie, send it to your mom (or a friend who you know will tell you the truth), and see how they respond. You’ll probably have a pretty good idea of whether it will be a distraction or not. Check Out 8 WEIRD Disney World Rules and Why They Exist HERE! Clothing that Touches or Drags on the Ground We all love a good Disney Villain cape, but if Maleficent were to come strolling into Disney World as a guest, you bet that security would be checking to see if that cape was dragging on the ground. And, it’s not just capes, any clothing that touches or drags on the ground is not permitted to be worn in the parks. Are those cape Disney-approved, guys? This rule can technically catch women in floor-length skirts, so be mindful of that. This rule really boils down to guest safety because, spoiler, there are A LOT of people in the parks and you don’t want that stroller wheel rolling over your clothes, or worse, causing you to fall and get hurt. Save that ballgown with attached train for another day, Cinderella. Click HERE For 5 Things You CAN’T Do in Disney World Anymore! Masks or Costumes It’s almost impossible to see a Disney World commercial without a kid running down Main Street, U.S.A. in a Disney costume, but there is an age limit for being able to wear that princess dress or pirate outfit. Disney’s current policy states that guests 14 years of age or older cannot wear masks or costumes into the parks, though there are a few exceptions including Halloween and Christmas events, and some Star Wars-inspired costumes. Cast Members with a rogue”Belle” This is because guests come up with some pretty amazing costumes that can make them look just like the storybook characters themselves. But Disney wants to ensure that when your child meets Cinderella or Belle, it’s the real Cindy or Belle, not Jeanine from Ohio who’s really good with a needle and thread. Disney doesn’t want kiddos strolling off, hugging, or in any way thinking guests are characters. That rogue Belle could reject your child’s advances or say something off-color — Disney (and you!) likely don’t want that. They want to be sure that all of the characters that guests meet in the parks are the real ones, so instead, you can opt for an outfit that is more of a “DisneyBound” and dress up in clothes that are coordinated to reflect your favorite character. Check Out 6 Things You Shouldn’t Bring on Your Next Disney Trip HERE! Objectionable Tattoos Much like rules regarding your outfit choice, Disney also has some limitations around guest tattoos. And, while most are permitted in the parks, Disney’s policy does state that guests will not be permitted in the park if they have “objectional tattoos” that are exposed. This would include tattoos that have things like obscene language in them or other details that detract from other guests’ experiences. Cast Member tattoo And, if you do happen to have a tattoo that doesn’t meet Disney standards, you’ll just need to cover it up before heading into the park. Did You Know Cast Members Can Show Tattoos Now? Learn More HERE! Clothing with Mulitple Layers While you may not want to be heading into Disney World with multiple layers during the summer months in Florida, Disney does reserve the right to search guests if they are wearing clothes with multiple layers. So, whether you have a t-shirt layered over a sweater or you’re dressed up for some seriously chilly weather that hits the south (hey, it does happen!), then just be aware that you may spend some extra time at the security checkpoint in the park. Checkpoint at Disney’s Hollywood Studios But, rest assured, you can still wear all those layers into the park no matter what time of the year it is! Check Out How to NOT Be Miserable in Disney World During the Summer! This is Halloween! How To Dress at Halloween Events So, we’ve spent a lot of time going over what you can’t wear to the parks, but what about those nitty-gritty details for what’s appropriate in the parks during Disney After Hours Boo Bash and Disney Villains After Hours events (which are separately ticketed)? Well, let’s dig into it! Guests 13 and Under Rules around Halloween costumes are split into two categories with guests ages 13 and under being permitted to wear a few more spooky items in the parks. This includes pretty much all costumes and even some costume masks. Just keep in mind that masks must “provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen,” according to Disney. Are you KIDDING?! INCREDIBLE So, go all out with that beard and take your kiddo’s costume to the next level. Ya never know who might stop you in the parks and ask to take your picture! Guests 14 and Older For guests 14 and older, there are a few more rules to follow when it comes to costumes during these Halloween special events. Disney does allow guests to wear themed t-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts, and hats. And, when it comes to accessories, guests can wear transparent wings, tutus, any headwear that does not cover the face, and carry around plastic lightsabers and toy swords. Snap out of it, Buzz! But, the list of what can’t be part of your costume is a bit longer. This includes: Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable, or violent. Costumes may not contain any props or accessories that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon. Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest. Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening. Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses) Costume masks of any kind may not be worn. Carl would be proud! But, even with these limitations, guests have harnessed their creativity to come up with some seriously awesome costumes over the years! Just keep in mind that Disney does not allow guests to pose for pictures with other guests or sign autographs during these events.

The holidays in Hollywood Studios One of the ways to get into the holiday spirit is to check out the holiday entertainment at Hollywood Studios. Let’s take a look! The beloved Hollywood Holiday Tower Hotel projection show is BACK Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We already love looking at the Tower of Terror. But now, we have even more of a reason to gaze at its beauty. The show uses projections, lights, music, and the nearby screen “billboard” to show clips that complement the projections. Wow! The show integrates many Disney icons, including Woody and Buzz from Toy Story and Mickey and Minnie’s characters in A Christmas Carol, as projections transform the Tower of Terror from freaky to festive! One highlight from the show was the Tower of Terror’s transformation into a giant gingerbread house, featuring the Muppets as gingerbread cookies! A gingerbread tower! Plus, you’ll see plenty of references to old Hollywood, including a sign greeting guests from “Tinseltown.” Classic! Plus, walking around Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard, you’ll notice some “snoap” (that’s what we call snow made out of soap!) falling from the sky! Snoap!

Today, we’ve got a special treat for you: we’re taking a look at some of the first holiday projections of the season on Animal Kingdom’s icon, the Tree of Life! This holiday season, you can see projections at various parks. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll find the return of the Tree of Life Awakenings — Holiday Edition, which we’ve seen in previous years. Tree of Life Much like the rest of Animal Kingdom, these projections focus on the beauty of nature, showing various scenes, including a winter wonderland! Along with scenes of snowy nature, you’ll also spot some holiday images, like this gorgeous Christmas tree. So festive! The Tree of Life Awakenings — Holiday Edition takes place about every 5 minutes. There were 3 short animal stories that we saw during our time there, including one focused on a reindeer. So Pretty! You can also still enjoy the Tree of Life’s special nighttime look a Beacon of Magic with its EARidescent lighting, which celebrates Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, when the holiday projections aren’t happening. When we visited, things started with the Beacon of Magic lighting around 6:15PM, but times are subject to change. Gorgeous!

The holidays have officially begun at Disneyland, and we are enjoying ALL OF IT. Festival of Holidays is here! We just attended the first Disney Merriest Nites After Hours party at Disneyland.

Disney World has a large number of hotels to pick from, but now a NEW choice is available. Swan Reserve Earlier this month, the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve opened. This hotel has a number of things that you might enjoy including walking access to EPCOT, Disney transportation, and more. While we’ve toured the hotel before, recently we were invited to the hotel’s official ribbon cutting ceremony and we got the chance to look at some of the rooms you can stay at while there. Ready to check out the Swan Reserve? Let’s go! Let’s Go Inside When you walk into the Swan Reserve, you’ll see some beautiful details on the walls… So Pretty in Here …and all around. Overall, the style is that of a boutique hotel. Swan Reserve The space has an elevated look and feel, while still being casual and not stuffy. Swan Reserve Seating And, of course, you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for a Mickey-shaped item… Peep the Mickey! …or two! So Cute There is plenty of seating… Seating …including some very fun looking chairs! Love These Chairs! Stir is the Swan Reserve’s lobby bar. You can stop here to get some drinks at the resort. Stir The resort has a fairly large pool outside for guests to enjoy, with seating around a fire pit. Pool Area There is also a bar by the pool called Tangerine. As you might have gathered from the name “Tangerine,” the Swan Reserve has incorporated a citrus theme at this spot. In fact, the citrus theme is one you’ll find carried out throughout the whole resort. Tangerine If you need a cup of coffee for those early mornings or long nights, you can stop by Grounds. Grounds There, you’ll find some coffee as well as some grab-and-go snacks and more. Grounds The hotel’s signature restaurant is Amare. Amare There are a variety of seating options available here, and a beautiful opening that allows you to peek into the kitchen. Amare Here’s a peek at the menu for this spot’s breakfast buffet. Amare While breakfast does have a buffet option, lunch and dinner are plated. The items on the menu here are influenced by Mediterranean flavors. Amare One of the best perks about staying at the Swan Reserve is that guests at the resort get access to all of the amenities at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Swan Reserve Guests at the Swan Reserve also get amenities provided to Disney World hotel guests like access to free transportation to the theme parks, and Early Theme Park Entry. The Swan Reserve is also a Marriott hotel, meaning you can use your Marriott points to reserve a stay there. Views from the Swan Reserve The Swan Reserve has been open since November 3rd, but today (the 12th) was its official opening ceremony. In total, the hotel has 349 rooms, 151 of which are suites. Today, we got the chance to peek into a junior suite (which is considered the middle grade) and a suite. Opening Ceremony In the junior suite we toured, we got to look at the living room area, which has some GORGEOUS windows overlooking Disney property (in fact, you’ll find floor-to-ceiling windows in ALL of the rooms). Jr. Suite In the junior suite we toured, we also got a look at the room’s television area… Jr. Suite …small desk/table area… Jr. Suite …and bedroom. Jr. Suite The room also has a bathroom with a toilet area… Jr. Suite …sink area… Jr. Suite …and shower space. Jr. Suite We also got the chance to look at a suite. This room again had a wonderful bathroom with one sink area… Suite …and another sink by the shower.

Disney Merriest Nites at Disneyland Park is a new after-hours holiday event taking place on five different nights throughout November and December 2021. So jolly! We had the chance to visit the first night of this new holiday event and we experienced ALL the entertainment, including six unique holiday parties hosted by different Disney characters throughout Disneyland AND a Christmas parade! At Merriest Nites, guests will find six different themed holiday parties through the lands of Disneyland! Here’s what we saw. Mickey Mouse Located on Main Street, U.S.A., ticket holders will find a Victorian-themed party hosted by Mickey Mouse! Main Street, U.S.A. We didn’t spot Mickey and Minnie out in their Victorian threads last night (They were probably our caroling when we were in that area!), but we did see Donald dressed as Ebenezer Scrooge and Goofy dressed as Jacob Marley! Donald and Goofy We didn’t know we needed to see these two in their Christmas Carol outfits. And that’s all the entertainment we spotted at Disneyland’s Merriest Nites after-hours event! Tickets have already sold out, so if you’re a lucky ticket holder we can’t wait to hear about your experience! Keep reading DFB for more Disney Merriest Nites news.

We’ve been eating our way around Disneyland trying ALL the new holiday treats! Happy Holidays from Disneyland! So far we’ve tried some exclusive Merriest Nites treat, visited Festival of Holidays booths in Disney California Adventure, and checked out all the holiday decor. So what’s next on the list? A new pretzel that doubles as a sweet treat! We stopped by the Tomorrowland Pretzel Cart today to start the newest holiday pretzel Disneyland has to offer — the Toffee Pretzel. Tomorrowland Pretzel Cart The Toffee Pretzel is a Cream Cheese-filled Pretzel sprinkled with Toffee Sugar, with Chocolate Marshmallow Creme Dipping Sauce for $7.75. Toffee Pretzel As you can see, that’s a LOT of toffee sugar sprinkled on this pretzel, so obvi this treat was SWEET. It smelled kind of artificial, but it did taste good. Sugarrrr And when we say it was sweet, we mean it was REALLY sweet, so if you’ve ever been a person who described a food as “too sweet,” you can probably skip this. The cream cheese filling was a nice touch too. Cream cheese filling! It actually came with the same chocolate marshmallow creme as the Pink Coconut Churro we tried today, and it’s a game changer when it comes to dipping sauces. SO good. It’s almost like this is becoming a pretzel/churro must have. Kinda like our beloved plastic cheese is with classic pretzels, corn dog nuggies, and fries. Yum Head to the Tomorrowland Pretzel Cart in Disneyland if you want to try the (very sweet) Toffee Pretzel! Keep reading DFB for more holiday treat news from Disneyland AND Disney World!

Whew! We have had a Christmas-y week! Sleeping Beauty Castle Just last night, we spent our evening experiencing MORE of the holidays at Disneyland with the first Disney Merriest Nites Party! The event was full of fun and FOOD and you know we got our snack on. We’ve tried sugar cookie dip, festive beignets, and more! Now, we’re checking out a sweet-and-savory combo from the party. During last night’s party, we swung by one of the Disneyland Popcorn Carts to try out the Elsa Iced Popcorn Mix. Spoiler alert: There is no actual icing on this snack. We know, we know. We were disappointed too. We get it “iced” like “Elsa’s Ice Palace,” not “iced” like “icing on our popcorn.” It’s fine. Elsa Iced Popcorn Mix Instead, you’re lookin’ at Freshly-popped Buttered Popcorn with Sweet Blue Kettle Corn. We’re totally getting the Elsa vibes from this snack! Elsa Iced Popcorn Mix This was a basic but good snack. The regular popcorn is classic and delicious and the addition of the kettle corn makes for a sweet and savory mix. We will say the blue popcorn is a little sweeter than typical kettle corn. Elsa Iced Popcorn Mix If you’re headed to Merriest Nites, you can pick up this snack for $7.25 at popcorn carts!

Mickey’s PhilharMagic is as popular attraction in the Magic Kingdom where guests can see a 3D show filled with Disney music and Donald Duck antics. Mickey’s PhilharMagic The attraction has been closed for about a month as imagineers added a new scene to the show inspired by the Disney Pixar movie Coco. We’ve already seen the Disneyland version of this ride update, and now it’s Disney World’s turn. Today, the attraction finally reopened! Let’s head in and see how the new scene looks. The first thing we noticed was a new exterior on this attraction. The sign used to be gold with blue letters… Before… …but it got a sharp makeover, and it’s now dark blue with bright gold letters. It got a makeover! There’s still a little work to be done on the side of the signs, though! Not quite finished The wait was only 20 minutes when we stopped by today. Wait time We headed in… Come on in! …and picked up our opera (3D) glasses to get ready for the show. Ready to go! While you’re waiting for the show to begin, be sure to look around for some cool details in this theater. Beautiful theater You might even spot some hidden Mickeys, like this one in the French horn! We see Mickey! Now, on to the show. We were so happy to see our old favorite scenes back, but we’re really here for the new Coco additions! There’s a big scene featuring the “Un Poco Loco” song from the film. Un Poco Loco And we also got to see characters like Miguel and Hector along with the alebrijes Dante and Pepita. ‘Coco’ Scene Of course Donald was there the whole time, chasing Mickey’s sorcerer hat through Coco scenes. That crazy duck! We have to say, the new scene makes this attraction even better than we remember it! Stay tuned with DFB for all the latest Disney World updates.

It’s officially the holiday season in Disney World! The Grand Floridian’s Christmas Tree just went up! We went to the first Disney Very Merry After Hours this week, saw the iconic gingerbread house go up in the Grand Floridian, found new decorations in the parks, and tried more festive food. The other night, we saw Santa at Disney Very Merriest After Hours in Magic Kingdom, and today, we spotted him at a couple of the other parks! Santa Claus was in Hollywood Studios today for the holiday motorcade! But, he of course had to make a grand entrance, so first we saw some dancing elves! Simply having a wonderful Christmastime Then, Pluto and the reindeer came out. So cute in their holiday gear! They seemed to be having a holly jolly time! It’s a party Finally, Santa appeared in his snazzy red sleigh — which is a convertible! SANTAAAAA And, it’s all decked out in decorations for the holidays. Santa has an awesome ride Santa made his way down Hollywood Boulevard, waving to all of the guests! Living his best life You can catch the Santa Claus Motorcade periodically throughout the day in Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Boulevard looks magical! But, we also saw Santa in Animal Kingdom today, too! Two Santa appearances in one day?! He came by on a Flotilla while we were walking around the park, and his boat was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. We’ll yell our Christmas list to you from over here! We saw colorful pinwheels, lights, reindeer, garland, and even some bunny rabbits on the front! Santa just has all kinds of transportation, huh? And, that’s not the only festive friend we saw floating by — Minnie and Mickey also made an appearance in their holiday outfits! Hi, friends! Minnie has on a red scarf and her hat is decorated, and Mickey is wearing a red shirt and green tie, and his hat has some red, white, and green plaid and what looks to be holly and mistletoe on the top of it. Minnie and Mickey must have HUGE closets for all their different outfits We’ll keep an eye out for any other characters out and about in their seasonal gear, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

In case you missed it, the holidays have landed at Disneyland! And we’ve been busy partying it up at the first Disney Merriest Nites party! Welcome to Disneyland’s Merriest Nites! And we had a chance to take in a lot of the fun, but what we really focused on was all the great holiday eats! And we tried them ALL, including a sugar cookie dip, festive beignets, and pumpkin spice churro toffee! And now we’re back with another Disneyland holiday snack review! So we headed on over to Red Rose Taverne to check out their exclusive Merriest Nites offerings, starting with the Frozen Flurry. This drink, which costs $7.59, is a Citrus and Bubble Gum Slush topped with Whipped Cream, and Candy Decor. And of course, it comes with a Glow Cube. And what can we say? It looks cool! This thing GLOWS HOWEVER, when it comes to taste, we’re not sure citrus and bubble gum should ever be combined like this. Most of the flavor is bubblegum, and well, we were NOT a fan of it. Kids might dig it because it does look fun, but we’re not even sure they would like this flavor combo. Look at it, but don’t drink it… The second snack, though, was MUCH more satisfying. It’s the Enchanted Forest Fries, which are French Fries tossed in Buffalo Seasoning, drizzled with Ranch, and topped with Cotija Cheese for $3.99. And these we liked! They’ve got just a hint of spicy, but nothing too overwhelming. Buffalo fries FTW We thought this was a pretty solid snack, but we might have liked it even more if there was some sort of protein on there, like chicken. Of course, you’ll need to like buffalo flavors to appreciate these, so keep that in mind. These are a win! We’re covering EVERYTHING at Disneyland’s Merriest Nites, so stay tuned for more photos, videos, and reviews! Two Words: DESSERT NACHOS. Here’s Where to Find It in Disneyland!

Disneyland is the land of the churro, with lots of different flavors and a variety of dipping sauces to go with them. Churro Cart at Disneyland We’ve already tried a few churros on our holiday trip in Disneyland, including one piled high with toffee and another that we dipped in cookies. Now we’re headed to Tomorrowland, because there’s yet ANOTHER holiday churro waiting for us there. At the Tomorrowland Churro Cart, you can get the new Pink Coconut Churro, which is here especially for this holiday season. Pink Coconut Churro Menu Just a head’s up — you might have to wait a while to get it. When we showed up, there was already a looooong line. Pink churros are a hot commodity apparently! What a line! But we were very patient and were rewarded with our pink churro, complete with a Chocolate Marshmallow Creme Dipping Sauce to go with it. The churro and sauce together cost $6.75. Pink Coconut Churro with Chocolate Dipping Sauce First of all — isn’t it so pretty?? The pink sugar that the churro is rolled in was sparkling in the sunlight, and next to the Sleeping Beauty Castle it just looked gorgeous. Wow so pretty The churro itself didn’t really taste like coconut to us. It was pretty much just a normal (delicious) churro that you expect from Disneyland. There was plenty of sugar on it, though! No sugar shortage here The chocolate marshmallow dipping sauce was really creative and fun! Overall, this was a really yummy and super sweet treat. We’ve seen similar pink churros here in the past, but the new sauce takes them to a whole other level.

On top of the blocks is Buzz Lightyear holding up the Pixar ball! You Can See Buzz Here! On the bottom of the bucket is Woody, saying “hello” to all of his pals! And the best part? The popcorn bucket lights up! Hey Pals! Basically it’s a Toy Story, popcorn, and holiday lover’s dream come true!

Christmas trees have appeared, Disney World’s NEW holiday After Hours event has started, and holiday snacks are available to grab in the parks — the holidays truly have arrived in Disney World! The Holidays Have Arrived! We’ve already seen holiday decorations go up in the parks and a few hotels, but today we saw that 2 popular Disney World spots have received a holiday makeover! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has had its GIANT gingerbread house up for a few days now, but one thing was missing from the Grand…its Christmas tree! Today, we stopped by the resort and were happy to see that the gorgeous and immense Christmas tree has arrived in the Grand’s lobby. It’s HERE! The tree is basically impossible hard to miss. A Look from Above It’s massive in size and covered in some of the most gorgeous ornaments! A Look at the Tree! Take a close look at those ornaments then next time you visit. But, the Grand Floridian isn’t the only hotel on the monorail line that has gotten a holiday makeover. Though Disney’s Contemporary Resort doesn’t have a giant tree inside of its lobby, like the Grand does, it does have some nice, smaller trees. The Contemporary Has Some Trees Too! Some of the trees also had a sweet little touch — ornaments of crayons on them! So Fun There were also garlands inside… Holiday Decor …and outside… So Pretty! …as well as wreaths in the lobby area. Which Decorations Do You Like Best? But, if you’re looking for a BIG Christmas tree at the Contemporary, you’ll have to head outside! See the Tree? At the front of the Contemporary Resort, you’ll find a GIANT tree! WOW It’s covered in large, colorful ornaments. Ornaments While this tree is impressive during the day, it truly shines at night. So Big! And that’s a look at 2 of the most iconic Disney World hotels and their holiday decor.

Disney’s theme parks and Disney as a company celebrate quite a few holidays. Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland At Disneyland alone, we’ve seen some awesome Halloween decorations, beautiful holiday decor, and even a shop that will celebrate various holidays throughout the year. But, now Disneyland is celebrating something extra special…Life Day! What is “Life Day” you ask? Well, it’s a Star Wars-related holiday. According to StarWars.com, Life Day is a “longstanding Wookiee tradition” that celebrates the tenets of the Wookiee culture, like “family, joy, and harmony.” While it was first celebrated by the Wookiees, people from planets across the galaxy embraced the tradition, adding their own touches to the festivities like lights, music, and (of course) food. ©StarWars.com And in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, food is taking center stage during this year’s Life Day! Starting today, November 12th, a whole bunch of new treats have arrived in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Park in honor of Life Day. Let’s see if any of these are worth the cash! Kat Saka’s Kettle Over at Kat Saka’s Kettle, you can find 2 NEW dishes. First, we have the Potato Hand Pie that is Tikka Masala-spiced and served with Mint-Cilantro Yogurt Sauce for $6.79. Potato Hand Pie This was pretty much a potato and pea samosa (We think it had sweet potato!) and it had a lot of those really rich South Asian flavors from the Tikka Masala. Potato Hand Pie It was a hearty and vegetarian dish that was a sizeable portion. If you like Indian food usually and/or need a big snack to tide you over until dinner, this could be a good option. Potato Hand Pie But wait, there’s more! If you’re still hungry, you can also pick up the Black Sesame Macaron. Black Sesame Macaron This treat is made with a Toasted Macaron with Passionfruit Buttercream and Sesame Praline for $5.49. That’s an interesting combo of flavors, so we just had to give it a try! Black Sesame Macaron This macaron was done very well with all of the right textures in the macaron itself and in the filling. The primary flavor is the tart passionfruit from the buttercream, but it’s definitely got a more unique quality to it too. Black Sesame Macaron That’s because of that sesame flavor! The sesame praline was super sweet and switched up the flavor profile a bit from what you’d expect from passionfruit. Still, you definitely have to like passionfruit to enjoy this treat so keep that in mind. Oga’s Cantina The fun ain’t over yet. At Oga’s Cantina, you can grab a NEW bite to eat, as well as a new drink. To eat, we’ve got the new Kaadu Pork Belly Slider. Kaadu Pork Belly Slider This slider features Skewer Pork Belly, a Bao Bun, Zucchini Sauce, Calabrian Chili Compote, and Za’atar Spice. Considering that Oga’s Cantina doesn’t exactly have too many things to eat, we were excited to see a new item added to the menu. Kaadu Pork Belly Slider This was a very tasty bite. The chili compote and Za’atar spice (a blend of savory dried herbs like oregano, marjoram, or thyme; and toasted earthy spices like cumin and coriander, with sesame seeds) bring a complex heat to the flavor profile. Kaadu Pork Belly Slider Our one complaint is we wish there was more pork belly in the bun. It was super fatty and texturally perfect. We wouldn’t necessarily come to Oga’s Cantina just to try these but if you’re already planning a visit to the space bar, consider picking them up! You can get this eat for $12. Kaadu Pork Belly Slider If you want to pick up a new drink, you can try the Tarkenian Night Flower. Tarkenian Night Flower This drink is made with a Blend of Gin and Elderflower Liqueur, with flavors of Ginger and Huckleberry. It is then garnished with a Sweet Hibiscus Flower. Tarkenian Night Flower Our reporter actually liked this drink a lot even though it’s made with gin which not everybody likes! We didn’t catch much of the ginger flavor. Instead, the drink had a fruity tartness to it that we enjoyed. Tarkenian Night Flower It was relatively refreshing as well! If it’s your first time at Oga’s, we might recommend something more exciting like the Fuzzy Tauntaun. But, the Tarkenian Night Flower could be a great option for returning guests or those who are just looking for a more standard, tasty cocktail. Tarkenian Night Flower You can try the Tarkenian Night Flower for $18. Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo Finally, over at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, you can pick up the Life Day special — Pork Broth Noodles! Pork Broth Noodles This item is made with Angel Hair Pasta with Bok Choy, Mushrooms, Roasted Pork, and Yuzu-Tomato Compote in a Pesto-Tonkotsu Broth. Pork Broth Noodles These noodles were DELICIOUS. What an awesome twist on ramen! The pork was a little bit overdone, but it wasn’t the star of the dish so we could look past it. Pork Broth Noodles All the ingredients work together really well. The thinner pasta was awesome on the savory (but not too salty!) broth. We liked this so much that we REALLY hope they keep this on the menu. We would make a point to get it again. It’s got chicken noodle soup/warm ramen vibes. It’s very comforting! Pork Broth Noodles If you want to try this item, you can get it for $15.49. Pork Broth Noodles If you want to get these eats, be sure to head over to Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge soon! Disney hasn’t announced whether these will eventually make their way over to Disney World, but we’ll be on the lookout for any updates. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!

Welcome to Merriest Nites, Disneyland’s after-hours holiday event! We’re covering everything from the event, including all those exclusive holiday treats. Disney Merriest Nights Speaking of treats, let’s look at a unique treat that mixes two of our favorite things: hot chocolate and waffles! During Merriest Nites at Disneyland, you can stop by Jolly Holiday to get Sipping Chocolate with a Dipping Waffle, which is European Drinking Chocolate with a Sweet Waffle for dipping, for $6.99. Now, this isn’t exactly hot chocolate: this is drinking chocolate, a type of drink that’s a bit more bitter and sometimes a little bit thicker than the usual hot chocolate we’re all used to. And we’ll admit, we thought this snack might disappoint us… Waffles and hot chocolate go together like peas and carrots… …but this was VERY good! The waffles were more like cookies with more substance than we expected, but still were soft like waffles. And the chocolate was nice and THICK, like a Spanish hot chocolate — it was so rich and creamy and done really well. And with the waffle — well, it was just about perfect. LOOK at that sipping chocolate!!! Also hot tip: we also dipped the chips we got with our holiday sandwich in the chocolate and that was DELICIOUS. We’re always keeping up with the latest Disney news and everything at Merriest Nites, so stay tuned here for more! Two Words: DESSERT NACHOS. Here’s Where to Find It in Disneyland!

In case you missed it, we’ve been to Disneyland to enjoy both the official start of the Festival of Holidays and the first Merriest Nites After Hours party! Disneyland’s Very Merriest Castle Lighting! And we had SO MUCH fun at the after hours party checking out everything, including — OF COURSE — the food! Because you know us — we were really just there for the food. And can you blame us? We popped over to Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante to check out some new holiday offerings there, along with the restaurant’s Merriest Nites exclusive foods. So let’s start with one of the holiday offerings. We could NOT resist the Dessert Nachos for $7.99, which are made with cinnamon crisps topped with berry compote, whipped cream, and honey creme Anglaise. Um, can you say YUM?!?! Dessert NACHOS These nachos are AWESOME. They’re the regular cinnamon sugar chips you can get at Rancho Del Zocale, but once you add that berry sauce and that whipped cream, we just wanted MORE! That whipped “cream,” though Next up was the Pork Pozole for $11.99, which is a traditional Mexican stew of hominy, shredded pork, and guajillo peppers, garnished with lime, cabbage, onion, and radish. And, y’all, this one was a hit with us, too. Comfort food! The pozole is such a great combination of spicy and savory. We will admit we were skeptical about this at first, but this is seriously good soup. Also, it had LOTS of chunky pulled pork! HUGE chunks of pork! Of course, we also had to try the restaurant’s Merriest Nites offerings, including the Coco-inspired Remember Me for $9.99. It’s cinnamon-dusted guitar-shaped fry bread, topped with dulce de leche gelato, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. In addition to being tasty, we also like the presentation here. Coco-inspired! The fry bread itself is almost like a cookie — it doesn’t taste like fried bread at all. The gelato was super creamy and sweet, as gelato should be. And again, we love that fake whipped cream! Cool presentation Finally, you can’t have Christmas without Horchata for $5.49, which is a traditional sweet and creamy cinnamon, rice, and milk beverage served over ice. And this one is garnished with orange and purple sprinkles. Horchata is always a good bet We tend to be fans of a good horchata and this one did not disappoint. Sprinkles on top So if you’re looking for some Mexican-inspired holiday treats, head on over to Rancho del Zocalo for all this yumminess. And we’ll keep you updated on ALL of Disneyland’s holiday snacks, so stay tuned.
