Mickey’s Holiday Cookie Definitely no surprises here in terms of taste. Some of Disney’s cookies are pretty simple, but in cases like this, less is more! You can’t go wrong with a fresh vanilla cookie covered with chocolate and sugar.

We’ve been busy today enjoying the start of the holidays at Disney World! Holidays at Hollywood Studios We’ve eaten a lot of holiday snacks, had a lot of holiday drinks, and watched a lot of holiday cavalcades! But as most Disney World guests know, the holidays REALLY shine at the parks at night! As many of you know, the holidays are a little different this year, but today Disney shared some exciting news! They shared that a version of Sunset Seasons Greetings would return with the Hollywood Holiday Tower Hotel. Tonight, like we’ve seen in years past, the Tower of Terror came to life with stunning holiday projections. Tower of Terror Holiday Projections There aren’t as many projections as we’re used to seeing, but we still get to see it as a fun gingerbread house! Another projection looks like a winter wonderland. Tower of Terror Holiday Projections Don’t you just love the colors of this season? They just give us so much joy! We do want to note that usually there is a magical moment during Sunset Seasons Greeting when it will begin to “snow.” Tonight, however, that was not the case and there was no snoap to be found. On top of that, there was NO music. Just the projections. So while it’s exciting to have at least that, it is a very different experience. Hollywood Holiday Hotel We’ll keep reporting from the parks and let you know what other holiday goodies we find! Pics and Video!

We’ve been trying allllll of the holiday treats around Disney World today! Holiday Tree Mousse From snacks to drinks to full meals, we’ve been BUSY eating our way around the parks! But when we spotted the return of a holiday staple in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we knew we could make room for at least one more treat! For the past few years, we’ve seen Holiday Festive Popcorn pop up at carts throughout Hollywood Studios. While the exact ingredients change a bit from year to year, the last time we tried this sweet and salty mix, it had caramel popcorn, red and green M&Ms, chocolate chips, candy cane pieces, and a light drizzle of white chocolate. Holiday Festive Popcorn from 2019 But it looks like the Holiday Festive Popcorn is a little less festive this year — the mix we bought came with just caramel popcorn, M&M’s, and candy cane pieces. Holiday Festive Popcorn And we have to say, we were definitely missing those extra ingredients! There weren’t very many M&M’s in our mix, so we mostly tasted the caramel popcorn and the candy cane pieces. Holiday Festive Popcorn If you’re a big fan of candy canes the Holiday Festive Popcorn might be for you, but it wasn’t our favorite flavor combo! Holiday Festive Popcorn If you’d like to give the Holiday Festive Popcorn a try, you can find it at popcorn carts around Disney’s Hollywood Studios for $7.50. But if this doesn’t sound like your jam, there are plenty of other holiday snacks you can snag! Review! Is this returning Pine Cone Treat in Disney World as good as we remember?!

Our time in the parks for the first day of the holiday season is coming to an end (and we are SO FULL). Disney’s Hollywood Studios Although we’ve taken you with us around Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has also gotten the star treatment with entertainment and snacks all around the park. We’ve seen new things like a giant cake shake and projections on the Hollywood Tower Hotel, but a few goodies from the past have also returned for Christmas this year! The Trolley Car Cafe is home to Starbucks drinks in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and a few seasonal goodies that pop up throughout the year. While we were grabbing our first Chestnut Praline Latte of the year, we saw that the Chocolate Chestnut Pine Cone was sittin’ pretty in the bakery case again! Chocolate-Chestnut Pine Cone We’ve seen this treat pop up throughout the years at the Trolley Car Cafe and the Backlot Express with its chocolate pine cone-shaped mousse and praline “leaf.” Chocolate Chestnut Pine Cone While this has been one of our favorite treats in the parks throughout the holidays, we do wish Disney would have switched things up a little more! The treat was the exact same as last year, when we said that we could have used a little more chestnut flavor to balance out all the chocolate. Chocolate-Chestnut Pine Cone We would have even loved to see Disney change out the chocolate for a completely different flavor (gingerbread mousse, anyone??). BUT, the Chocolate-Chestnut Pine Cone is still a great, cold treat that really hits the spot on a warm day! Chocolate-Chestnut Pine Cone Plus, it’s just too cute and deserves its own photoshoot with the decorations around Disney’s Hollywood Studios! You can find the Chocolate-Chestnut Praline Pine Cone throughout the holidays in Studios for $6.99 before you watch some of the new Christmas Cavalcades on Sunset Boulevard!

There’s just something about a hot cup of cocoa that makes us dream about the holidays! Fortunately for us, the holidays have officially arrived at Disney World! Holidays at Hollywood Studios And you know us — we’re running around the parks checking out all the best new holiday snacks, including a new churro, a milkshake with two cakes on top of it, and a sweet taco!

This is a sampling of three yummy boozy hot chocolates: hot cocoa with Stoli Vanil, Red Stag by Jim Beam, and Bailey’s Original Irish Cream. Hot Cocoa Flight This is literally one of our favorite holiday treats of the year. The presentation is super cute, but then we really like that the booze tends to be heavy in these. We’re not gonna lie Hot Cocoa Flight Although the weather is a little warm right now for hot cocoa, these are perfect for cooler weather, or when the evening hits.

Okay yes, it started to feel like the holiday season when we saw all the decorations in Magic Kingdom. And it felt even MORE like Christmas when we tried some of the festive snacks. We may have also shed a tear when we heard “Once Upon a Christmastime” playing and watched today’s character cavalcades. Holiday Cavalcade But now we’re officially DONE. Out for the count. FULL tears. It’s over guys. The holiday projections on Cinderella Castle are so gorgeous, so crisp, so festive — you’ve GOT to see them! Just as the sun was setting, Cinderella Castle was looking as beautiful as ever. But as soon as it got dark, she went from this… Cinderella Castle …to THIS! There may not be any fireworks, and we are definitely missing the Castle Dream Lights (which are not being put up this year), but we are LIVING for these holiday projections! Magic Kingdom Holiday Projections Just look at those colors! Look at the way that every little design feature just fits that castle perfectly! Look at the red polka dots (how very Minnie Mouse) and the other details all around. Just look at this beauty. We love all of the gold projections and how they pop against the blue. Cinderella Castle It truly was a magical sight to behold. This Christmas sweater design is AMAZING! You could get a matching or similar design and MATCH with Cinderella Castle — c’mon, how could you NOT love that?! Cinderella Castle We knew that seeing the Castle lit up with these projections would be a special sight and it did NOT disappoint. Be sure to come back to DFB for more holiday updates!

We are suckers for chocolate here at DFB. So chocolate holiday treats make us especially happy! Pinocchio Village House And if you’ve been following us today, you might notice that we’ve been trying out a lot of new holiday snacks, including a loaded holiday milkshake, frozen hot chocolates, and even holiday churros! But when it comes down to it, we get excited about the new holiday chocolate snacks. And this desire led us to Pinocchio Village Haus to try out a brand new super-chocolatey snack. It’s called Yuletide Wishes and it’s a chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse and covered in chocolate ganache. That bit of blob on top is a chocolate-covered marshmallow, by the way. Yeah, that is a LOT of chocolate. Yuletide Wishes But does this chocolate concoction live up to OUR Yuletide wishes? This baby is SO very rich, and SO very chocolatey. It’s hard for one person to eat, but we tried! Granted, it’s a little uninspired, especially for Disney, but it’s still pretty much a chocoholic’s dream. Yuletide Wishes This snack cost $4.99, so if you want to try it, head over to Pinocchio Village Haus now! And in the meantime, we’ll keep eating our way through all the holiday snacks at Disney World! We’re LIVE from Magic Kingdom! Follow along with us here!

Another seasonal celebration has now arrived at Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Mickey Mouse It’s no secret that Hollywood & Vine doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to food quality. In the past, this restaurant served up buffet-style meals that were generally passable, but nothing to write home about. But when we ate at the recently reopened Hollywood & Vine earlier this year, we were blown away by how incredible both the food AND character interactions were! So, now that Minnie’s Holiday Dine has returned for the Christmas season, will the experience still stack up? Let’s take a look! Atmosphere Just like the last time we dined at Hollywood & Vine, the restaurant is adhering to the health and safety guidelines being practiced around Disney World. Safety measures include plexiglass dividers throughout the restaurant, increased hand santizer availability, and guests are encouraged to check-in via Mobile Dine Check-In on the My Disney Experience app, as opposed to in-person. Plexiglass Dividers When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with an adorable Christmas backdrop. There were no characters available to pose for a photo here like we’ve seen at past Hollywood & Vine holiday events, but guests are still welcome to stop for a photo themselves! Just keep in mind, Cast Members can’t take guests’ phones at the moment, so you might have to stick with a selfie! Minnie’s Holiday Dine Here’s a closer look at the adorable presents positioned at the bottom of the holiday backdrop! Presents! We also spotted holiday decor throughout the restaurant as well, including a shiny, silver Christmas tree, and festive wraps on the columns. Holiday Decor And the restaurant itself wasn’t the only thing decked out in its holiday best. Let’s take a look at how the characters are dressed for the occassion! Characters During our visit, we spotted Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto all dressed in their holiday attire! Here’s a look at the main mouse, dressed to impress! Mickey Mouse As with the other character meals that have returned in Disney World, the characters can’t stop to sign autographs or take photos with guests. But they will pose throughout the restaurant for guests to snap a pic or a socially distanced selfie! Minnie Mouse During our meal, the characters made their way around the restaurant pretty quickly, especially Mickey and Minnie. We were able to interact a bit more with Pluto since the adorable reindeer pup make the rounds a bit more slowly! Pluto Goofy was all decked out in his Santa gear, so it looks like he’s definitely ready to spread some Christmas cheer! Santa Goofy Since the characters can’t stop to sign autographs, guests who dine at Hollywood & Vine receive an autograph card instead. It’s pre-signed by the characters on one side, and has some cute artwork on the other side! Autograph Card In order to ensure everyone’s health and safety, guests are asked to remain in their seats while the characters make their rounds. Eats Now for the FOOD! While Hollywood & Vine was previously a buffet meal, it has transitioned to a Prix-Fixe experience that includes salad and bread (both are unlimited!), your choice of entree, dessert, and non-specialty beverage. The meal will run you $55.00 per adult and $36.00 per child. Hollywood & Vine Menu We opted for the Farmhouse Tossed Salad, made with mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, cornbread croutons, and homemade smokehouse ranch dressing. The cornbread croutons added a nice sweetness and texture to the salad. And we LOVED the ranch dressing, which was super creamy, fresh, and full of flavor! Farmhouse Tossed Salad The bread wasn’t anything groundbreaking or unique, but it was buttery and fresh. Which is sometimes all you really need, right?? Bread For our entree, we ordered the Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Prime Rib of Beef, which comes with Sour Cream-Chive Whipped Potatoes, Fried Brussels Sprouts, and Pearl Onions with Red Wine Jus. Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Prime Rib of Beef This dish was recommended by our host, who said it was one of the most popular items on the menu. And we’re grateful for the recommendation! The prime rib was delicious and it was a generous portion size. It was cooked perfectly — we asked for medium rare. The mashed potatoes were also incredible and super garlicy, which we loved! And the brussel sprouts and pearl onions tied the dish together nicely. Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Prime Rib of Beef And for dessert, we opted for the Plant-Based Cherry Lemon Pie, which is a deconstructed pie made with cherries and a lemon drizzle. Plant-Based Cherry Lemon Pie We were a little thrown off by the dessert at first, mostly due to the deconstructed approach. But once we got past that, the flavors were wonderful! The lemon flavor was strong and tart, which balanced out the sweetness of the other ingredients. Plant-Based Cherry Lemon Pie So, in our experience, it looks like Hollywood & Vine continues its streak of food-related redemption! Nosh or Not? You Might Enjoy Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine if: You want to experience one of the few character dining experiences available in Disney World right now. You’re looking for a table service restaurant at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that offers entertainment for the little ones. You want to experience a differernt dining experience (meaning, non-buffet!) at Hollywood & Vine. You Might Skip Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine if: Seeing the characters isn’t one of your top priorities on your Disney World trip. You’re not a big fan of the Christmas aesthetic. You want a fancy atmosphere. Try the Hollywood Brown Derby instead! Overall Once again, we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious all of our food was at Hollywood & Vine! We would order any one of the items we tried again, which wasn’t always something we could say about this restaurant. While the characters didn’t stop by for long, we still had more of an opportunity to interact with them than some of the other meals that currently have character visits, like Cinderella’s Royal Table. Plus, seeing the classic characters in their holiday attire is a cute touch. With the impressive food and solid, if not extensive, character interactions, we’d say Hollywood & Vine was a winner in our books yet again!

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom! Cinderella Castle And, we’ve got plenty of entertainment, merchandise, and food updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! Disney Entertainment Although we were heading in the Magic Kingdom, we spotted a brand new sign for Disney Springs on the way into the park! The previous version had a pink background with an adult model, which has not been switched to a more festive holiday version! The newer billboard features a little girl in front of a red background filled with toys, along with the “Happily Whatever You’re After” tagline. New Disney Springs Sign As we were making our way around Tomorrowland (and to shamelessly ride Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin multiple times), we spotted a custodial Cast Member being trained to create character water art! Character Water Art Training We think they did an AMAZING job making Mickey Mouse, don’t you?? Mickey Water Art Recently, we spotted a stage built in front of Cinderella Castle where filming happened this past week. We may not be sure exactly what Disney was filming, but the stage was a bit on the wild side with a slide and a hanging bridge! However, the parks have updated the set to include rope handles along the bridge… Stage Construction …as well as remove the glittery purple curtains that were hanging up previously! Do note: This stage has since been removed. Stage Construction During one of the last “regular” Character Cavalcades before the holiday season began, we noticed that a float broke down temporarily before it reached the castle. Cast Members gathered around as they fixed the situation to get things up and running again. Float Breakdown Although there are plenty of characters to see during the cavalcades, Stitch was greeting guests with his hilarious antics over at the Tomorrowland Stage! He looked pretty happy to see all of us (and we were thrilled to see him too)! Stitch Disney Merchandise Emporium Can you believe it’s already Christmastime in Disney World as 2020 comes to a swift close? While we are SO ready to stuff our faces with turkey and gingerbread soon, we also can’t wait to wear some of the new holiday shirts we found in the Emporium as well. You can make each day “Merry and Bright” in this Mickey and Minnie Tee… Mickey and Minnie Merry & Bright T-Shirt …or be a little on the grumpy side without your morning coffee, wearing the Donald Duck Bah Humbug T-Shirt. Donald Duck Bah Humbug T-Shirt But, since it’s Christmas, we think the best thing you can do is to “Keep It Merry” as you explore Disney World in this Mickey Mouse Tee! Mickey Keep It Merry T-Shirt You can find each of the holiday shirts at the Emporium for $24.99 each. BUT, if you buy two, you can get them for $22 each instead (which sounds like a great way to get your Christmas shopping done). Here’s a look at all the details on these new holiday clothes you can find in the Magic Kingdom! Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. Season two of The Mandalorian has finally premiered on Disney+, and we’ve been LIVING for the adventures of Baby Yoda and Mando once again! Even though we’ve been wearing our Mandalorian Spirit Jersey as we binge-watch Star Wars, you can also decorate your house with the newest Baby Yoda Magnets at the Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. Baby Yoda Magnets Whether you’re feeling a little sassy like the Baby Yoda Does Not Listen Magnet… Baby Yoda Doesn’t Listen Magnet …or you just love watching drama like the Dramatic Baby Yoda Magnet, you can switch them both out depending on your mood for $14.99 each. Dramatic Baby Yoda Magnet Uptown Jewelers Now that our favorite Star Wars show is back on Disney+, we’re just waiting for Marvel entertainment to return with the premiere of WandaVision! Although we don’t have new Avengers movies coming any time soon, you can take home a souvenir over the past few years of the cinematic universe with THREE limited edition Citizen Avengers Watches! Marvel Watches If you love Marvel as much as we do, the “I Love You 3000” Tony Stark Watch is the perfect collectible for fans! The watch’s case looks like an Arc Reactor, while the watch is inscribed with “Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart.” “I Love You 3000” Watch The back features Tony’s signature and the Avengers: Endgame logo for the finishing touches! “I Love You 3000” Watch Since the watch is limited edition, there are only 1,500 made, selling for $495 each. Check out all the details on the limited edition “I Love You 3000” Tony Star Watch here! My personal favorite super hero is Spider-Man, and the Spider-Man Watch is channeling Peter Parker’s famous blue and red suit! The bottom of the watch shows off the hero’s logo for $395… Spider-Man Watch …while the Avengers Watch actually has the “A” for Avengers on the face of the watch! Avengers Watch The Citizen accessory is black with gold and red details that will make you feel like a part of the team for $350. Take a look at the details on the Spider-Man and Avengers Watches here! Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Magic Kingdom! We’ll catch you next time for merchandise, food, and entertainment updates! And, if you have any questions about your upcoming Disney World vacation, let us know so we can help you find the answers.

We’ve been admiring all of the beautiful trees at the Christmas Tree Stroll and trying ALL kinds of tasty snacks in Disney Springs! Mickey and Minnie Tree But, before we could enjoy all of the holiday festivities there, we had to go through the temperature check and the new security checks going on here. Yesterday we shared that these security screenings were now in place in the parking garages in Disney Springs, but today we’ve got some photos and more details to show you what this is like. We were SO READY to get some holiday Starbucks drinks and check out the decorations in Disney Springs today, so we made our way over there this morning and parked in one of the parking garages. We passed some health and safety signs reminding us to wear our masks, wash our hands, maintain physical distance from others, and other reminders we’ve seen around the parks. Disney Springs Then, we went through the standard temperature check, which utilizes the touchless thermometers. Temperature Check After the temperature check is when we encountered the security screening measures. Security Screening As the sign indicates, guests are instructed to keep all of their items inside of their bags and simply carry their bags with them through the screening point. This is the same as the newer security screening measures we’ve seen in the parks as well. Security Screening Sign If something you are carrying triggers the sensors, it may then be checked by security. When we went through, we saw the security team using their hands to search through the bags that triggered the sensors. Security Screening From what we know, the security screenings are in place at both parking garages in Disney Springs. We’ll definitely keep an eye out for any more updates on this and let you know if any changes are made in the future.

We’ve been snacking around Disney World today as the holiday season officially kicks off! Already we’ve tried Frozen Hot Chocolates in Hollywood Studios as well as a rather BIZARRE Pistachio Chai Tea Float in Magic Kingdom. Frozen Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Disney also has several new festive churros around the parks, including the Gingerbread and Apple Chip and Dale Churros from Westward Ho. You would think that we were done finding churros, but that is where you would be wrong, friends! It’s widely known that Disneyland is the place to be if you want churros, but we’ve been hoping for YEARS that Disney World could catch up and serve churros that would rival those on the west coast! So when we found the “Churro Worth Melting For” at the outdoor cart by Dumbo in New Fantasyland, we’ll admit that our hopes were high. Churro Worth Melting For We’ll be totally honest with you guys, these churros aren’t it. The picture on the menu sign at least seemed like the marshmallow fluff drizzle would add an interesting component to the churros, but ours were barely covered! Churro Worth Melting For If you’re into plain churros, then sure, you can’t go wrong with a classic, standard cinnamon churro. But out of all of the dazzling holiday snacks we’ve tried so far today, these are by far among the most plain and disappointing. We know Disney can do a million times better! Churro Worth Melting For If that wasn’t enough, when we went to dip our churro in the side of marshmallow fluff, we came across a rather morbid discovery. Granted, we might be in the middle of a sugar crash, but is that…Olaf?! Did Olaf really melt for these churros? Oh Olaf, it wasn’t worth it, buddy! Churro Worth Melting For Luckily, Olaf is his own personal snow flurry to keep him from actually melting in the Florida heat! And while a pair of churros for $6.50 isn’t that bad of a deal, we think you’d be better off spending that cash on a different holiday treat! There are TONS of great snacks in each of the four parks, and we think there’s something for just about everyone! Click here to read about even MORE holiday churros to arrive in Magic Kingdom!

We have tried a LOT of new treats in Disney World lately! Milk and Cookies by the Fireside at Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar Just today, we tried some NEW items in Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar, a festive cupcake with a hidden Mickey in Magic Kingdom, and a milkshake with TWO cakes on top of it. And now we’re trying ANOTHER NEW treat and it is a great, big, beautiful milkshake! Walt Disney’s Carousal of Progress may not be the most thrilling ride in Magic Kingdom, but it truly is a classic. And now, you’ll be singing there’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow as you enjoy the NEW “Just a Dream Away Shake!” We found this beauty in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies! Just a Dream Away Shake It’s made of a salted caramel milkshake with a silver sugar churro and can be all yours for $8.49. We LOVED all of the adorable sprinkles on this shake — they gave it a fun, futuristic look with all those cute stars and silvery pieces. Just a Dream Away Shake And the shake itself is SO GOOD!! If you like salted caramel, you’ll definitely enjoy this! It’s not the most unique shake flavor in the world, but sometimes simple is best and in this case, it definitely was. Just a Dream Away Shake Now, did we need a churro shoved into it? Ummm…probably not. It gives it a fun look but it was a HUGE disappointment! The churro itself was probably fine when it was originally made and was hot, crunchy, and fresh. But since it was just sitting in this shake, it got soggy and totally gross in terms of consistency. It was really chewy and just…not good AT ALL. Churro! The real play here is to get the shake and then get a nice, hot, and fresh churro on the side to go with it. But mixing the churro inside of the shake and having it get all soggy was…in a word, disgusting. But we REALLY enjoyed the milkshake itself and we were really happy to see Carousel of Progress finally getting some love! Now, if we could all just get a Rover plush made please!

Here at DFB, we aren’t known to say no to dessert. We love trying out the different flavors and creations that Disney makes! Kakamora Float from Aloha Isle Refreshments Our love for everything sweet has made us really excited about these ice cream flavors being released by Salt & Straw! There’s something a little bit different about these flavors though…they could be a part of our Thanksgiving meals! Located at Downtown Disney, Salt & Straw is a popular ice cream shop known for its unique and seasonal flavors. And they’re REALLY checking off the boxes for both “unique” and “seasonal” with these flavors! Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney They recently shared their Thanksgiving Series which includes a whole MIX of interesting flavors! ©Salt & Straw The flavors include Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecans, Roasted Peach & Sage Cornbread Stuffing, Cranberry Juniper Sorbet, and Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey. That’s right, TURKEY! Roasted Peach and Sage Cornbread Stuffing We don’t know about you guys, but we think these are a little more interesting than our standard pumpkin pie dessert! If you’re looking to be adventurous this Thanksgiving, or even substitute your meal with ice cream (which we fully support) these may be a fun option!

We’re REALLY glad we wore our stretchy pants today because we’ve eaten so many holiday treats already (and it’s only the first day of the season)! Christmas in the Magic Kingdom As we’ve walked around the Magic Kingdom, we’ve tried Gingerbread and Apple Churros, Let It Snow Taco, and the very strange Pistachio Chai Tea Float. But, even though we’ve been making our snack list and checking it twice, there was a SURPRISE dessert that popped up over at Storybook Treats! Since Halloween is officially over in the parks, Storybook Treats has said goodbye to the Poor Unfortunate Soul Float and hello to the new Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae for the holidays instead! Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae Sign Today, guests who got in line could choose what item they would like ahead of time to keep up with distancing and health and safety measures at the quick-service location. Although Storybook has switched out its Halloween treat for a Christmas dessert, the order slip still stated the seasonal option as the “Poor Soul” Float (whoops!). Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae Order Slip However, Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae has the exact opposite flavors as its Halloween counterpart, combining up cherry and vanilla soft-serve with hot fudge, whipped cream, holiday sprinkles, and a chocolate Minnie bow on top. Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae We’ve had some pretty mixed feelings about holiday soft-serve flavors that Disney World has been fixated on during Christmastime. Last year, we saw the Pistachio-Cherry Float make its way to Aloha Isle with a SUPER strong cherry flavor. We had some trouble deciding how we felt about the cherry soft-serve last Christmas, and we kind of feel the same way this year too! Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae The vanilla soft-serve helps tone done the cherry flavor a bit, along with the helping of hot fudge and whipped cream on top. If you love treats that are a little more on tart side or you’re just a BIG fan of all things cherry, we think that Minnie Merry Cherry Sundae would be a great break from all the gingerbread or chocolate treats for $6.49. Minnie’s Merry Cherry Sundae Buuut, we do have to say that we miss that AMAZING Gingerbread Sundae that appeared at Storybook Treats last year (fingers crossed it returns as a surprise somewhere around the parks soon)! We’ve still got a whole lot of treats and reviews to share with you, so be sure to keep up with our Christmas snack crawl through Disney World! Follow along with us LIVE in Magic Kingdom here!

Disneyland has been closed for almost eight months now and it may remain closed for a while. Disneyland Gate Still, that doesn’t mean that it’s a total ghost town behind the gate. With no guests in the park, crews can work on a bunch of different construction projects without having to keep out of guest areas — and work they are. According to the Orange County Register, a ton of projects are still underway in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, so let’s check in on some of the latest projects! Disneyland Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway OCR notes that Disney was recently issued a building permit for a $7.5 million attraction building complete with offices, restrooms, and employee break rooms. Disneyland Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Concept Art ©Disney At this time, vertical construction has begun in Mickey’s Toontown and the mountain range around the edge of the land has been removed in some areas to make way for construction. The attraction is set to open sometime in 2023. Click here to learn more about the delayed opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland! Haunted Mansion Prior to the closures, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion was under construction with refurbishments on the interior and exterior of the attraction. Haunted Mansion Construction Tarps This work has been able to start back up! Snow White’s Scary Adventures One of Disneyland’s opening day attractions has been closed for significant work since before the closures too. Snow White’s Scary Adventures is receiving some touch-ups and new effects, some of which are with the hope of making the attraction a little less scary. Snow White’s Scary Adventures Construction According to OCR, work continues on both the interior and exterior of the attraction. Click here to learn more about the updates to Snow White’s Scary Adventures! King Arthur Carrousel In fact, you might remember that it was more than JUST Snow White’s Scary Adventures all covered up in Fantasyland. King Arthur Carrousel has also been surrounded by construction scrims since prior to the closure. King Arthur Carrousel The work is to give this historic attraction a new canopy and some other TLC. Want to learn more about the King Arthur Carrousel refurb? Click here! Indiana Jones Adventure A permit was filed late last year that indicated some work on Indiana Jones Adventure including replacing a plank bridge and steel structure in the show set of the ride. Indiana Jones Adventure We’re not sure when this refurbishment was set to take place, but Disney could be working on it now. Click here to learn more about the Indiana Jones Adventure refurbishment. Mickey’s House OCR has noted that Mickey’s House got a $115,000 reroofing since the closures. You might remember scaffolding around the Mouse’s House from prior to the closures. Space Mountain At the start of the closures, work was underway on a $1.1 million emergency exit staircase for Space Mountain. Space Mountain Gadget Go Coaster Gadget Go Coaster received some regular seasonal maintenance. Tomorrowland Entrance Disneyland’s Tomorrowland has been under refurbishment for a while now to get a whole new updated look, especially around the entrance. ©Disney Concept Art of New Tomorrowland Entrance This work continues in efforts to widen walkways and reduce pinch points — convenient when social distancing has become more of a concern. Click here to learn more about the Tomorrowland updates! Frontierland Entrance A $200,000 renovation took place on the Frontierland entrance to widen a bridge and replace a pair of gates and a marquee. ©OC Register This permit was filed during the closure. Click here to learn more about the Frontierland updates! Parade Route Crews have also renovated the brick apron between Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Matterhorn Bobsleds, just along the parade route. Tom Sawyer’s Island Just like in Disney World, Disneyland’s Tom Sawyer Island is getting some work done! View from River Belle Terrace and Blue Bayou Fantasmic Preferred Seating A permit was filed for a $350,000 reroofing on the Cider Mill and Blacksmith shop and the removal and reinstallation of a scenic prop platform. Click here to learn about the Tom Sawyer Island work in Disney World! Matterhorn Bobsleds The Matterhorn Bobsleds are noted to be wrapped in protective plastic for routine maintenance. Matterhorn Bobsleds Main Street, U.S.A. We’ve recently been able to spot scaffolding around the Emporium on Main Street USA. OCR notes that some repainting and refurbishment was going on on the exterior of the shops. Emporium scaffolding Scaffolding has since been removed. Want to see more pics of the Emporium construction? Click here! Splash Mountain OCR notes that work has NOT begun on The Princess and the Frog retheming of Splash Mountain. Splash Mountain When the parks reopen, the classic version of Splash Mountain is set to return. Disney California Adventure Avengers Campus Avengers Campus, the upcoming Marvel-themed land in Disney California Adventure, was set to open in July. Due to the halt on construction, the opening has been delayed indefinitely. ©Disney BUT, work does continue in the new area! Want to learn more about the status of Avengers Campus? Click here! Administration Building OCR notes that a new backstage office building is going up behind Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters in Cars Land. Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree There’s some work IN Cars Land as well. OCR reports that crews conducted seasonal maintenance on both platforms of Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree. Pixar Pal-A-Round The landmark Ferris wheel in Pixar Pier had some routine maintenance underway too. Many of the gondolas on Pixar Pal-A-Round have been removed. Pixar Pier Hyperion Theatre And finally, the cloud backdrop on the side of Hyperion Theatre has been repainted too. Hyperion Theatre So, as you can see, there are LOTS of goings-ons in Disneyland right now! We’re pretty excited to see the progress for ourselves one day, but in the meantime, we’ll have to settle for construction reports.

This week has been busy in the parks and online as there was a bit of a misstep on the Disney World dining reservation page. This past Tuesday, there was a VERY surprising amount of availability for popular restaurants whose bookings tend to sell out quickly. Hot Chocolate Flight After many guests made reservations for spots like Be Our Guest and Chef Mickey’s (including us!), the site went down with technical difficulties. We later shared that these surprise reservations were ultimately released due to a glitch and would be canceled. Due to this massive glitch, Disney has stated that the guests who were affected by these cancellations will receive a $25 digital Disney gift card to apologize for the inconvenience. ©Disney While we shared all of these details yesterday, Disney has now emailed guests impacted by this situation. It’s important to note that reservations made outside the glitch will not be changed or canceled. ©Disney Although Disney hasn’t sent the digital gift card yet, we’ll be sure to provide you with more information about the situation! And, we’ll give you a look at everything else happening in Disney World as the holiday season kicks off in the parks!

We’ve been all around Disney Springs tasting holiday drinks and looking at festive decor, but now we’re headed to a very special spot to try some NEW holiday treats! Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar has officially transformed into Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar with some NEW menu items so you KNOW we had to try them! Check out if these new treats are a must-get or a total skip! Here’s a look at the menu for Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar. It includes a number of specialities like the Deviled Eggs (which we got last year), the Cranberry Kringle drink… Jock’s Holiday Bar Menu …Berry Merry Margarita, Jock’s Holiday Nog, and more. Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar Menu But, today we focused on some of the NEW items! Milk & Cookies First up — Milk and Cookies by the Fireside! This special holiday item is priced at $25 and comes with Coquito with Malibu Rum with Chocolate Peppermint Gingerbread Men, Spiced Sugar Christmas Tree Cookie, and Butter Pecan Signature Cookie. Milk and Cookies by the Fireside Right when it came out, we could smell the gingerbread, which quickly got us in the holiday spirit! The coquito drink itself was really good. It was creamy, dessert-like, and VERY sweet! But the amidst the sweetness, we could taste some of the spices mixed in there which gave it a good balance. There is rum in this drink but it wasn’t too strong. It was, however, very thick — almost like egg nog. Our bartender offered to add some ice to our drink, so that might be something you can ask for to help thin it out a bit. Overall, the drink might be too rich for some, but we really liked it! Milk and Cookies by the Fireside We also loved that this treat came with a separate cup, so we could pour our coquito in there… Cup for Drink …and then dunk our cookies in it! Slam Dunk! Speaking of cookies, let’s talk about the ones you get with your drink! The Spiced Sugar Christmas Tree Cookie was, overall, a pretty standard cookie. It wasn’t bad by any means, it just didn’t really WOW us. There was a little bit of spice thrown in which was nice, and it was crunchy and baked well. It’s a solid choice, but probably not the best cookie you’ll ever eat. Spiced Sugar Christmas Tree Cookie The Chocolate Peppermint Gingerbread Men was very fragrant and had a nice balance of chocolate and spice. We LOVED the peppermint on top! It reminded us of an Andes Mint. This cookie could have used some more gingerbread spices to make it more holiday tasting. The primary flavor here was just the chocolate — which was good, but a stronger gingerbread flavor would have been nice. Chocolate Peppermint Gingerbread Men And, finally, we come to the Butter Pecan Signature Cookie. This cookie was definitely the BEST ONE! It had a delicious, buttery taste with just a touch of pecan. It was sweet, but not in an overpowering way and was by far the best cookie for dunking! There was a little chocolate Mickey in the center which we wish would have been a bit thicker to add more of a chocolate taste with that butter pecan, but other than that we feel like this cookie is a total WIN! Butter Pecan Signature Cookie Overall, we’d say this is a great item for sweet tooths to grab and share. It’s also very Instagram-worthy, and you can get a virgin version for the little ones (or if you just prefer not to have the alcohol). Milk and Cookies by the Fireside If you don’t like holiday flavors or you don’t like sweet, thick drinks then this might be a skip for you! Churrasco Next, we’ll move on to Papa Noel’s Churrasco. This dish is $14 and is made of a Grilled Flank Steak served with Pumpkin Seed Chimichurri, Fried Sweet Plantains, and Spicy Aji Amarillo Peanut Sauce. Papa Noel’s Churrasco The steak itself was very tasty and flavored with some good spices on the outside. It wasn’t overly chewy and was very moist, although we would have loved for it to be a little bit more rare. It was pretty tender, but it could have been even more so if it had been cooked less. Papa Noel’s Churrasco The Chimichurri topping was delicious and really worked well with the meat. It had a flavor that was similar to a pesto sauce. The Spicy Aji Amarillo Peanut Sauce tasted like a spicy mustard and was EXCELLENT! It worked well with the meat and chimichurri and actually gave the dish quite the kick! Papa Noel’s Churrasco Finally, we come to the plantains. We were actually surprised at how good these were! They were crispy and caramelized on the outside, but soft and moist on the inside. The sweetness went really well with the spiciness of the mustard and offered a good balance in terms of flavors. Plantains If you’re a picky eater, some of the sauces or the plantains may be a bit too adventurous for you, but if that’s not a concern then we’d say give this treat a try. It’s great for someone looking for a light but savory appetizer that’ll leave you feeling satisfied! Sliders Finally, it’s time to taste some of Grandma’s Favorite Sliders! These sliders are $14 and are Venison Sliders with Cranberry Bacon Jam, Tomato and Watercress. Grandma’s Favorite Sliders We really enjoyed the cranberry bacon jam on top. We could hardly taste the bacon in it, but the sweetness of the cranberries went really well with the savory taste of the venison. It may be too sweet for some, but we thought it was great. The venison was nice and moist, but was fairly gamey. If you aren’t a fan of that gamey taste, then this might be a skip for you. Grandma’s Favorite Sliders As a whole, we also felt like the dish could have used some spice or perhaps some mayonnaise as parts of it were a bit dry. The buns were also quite thick, which really filled us up. It was a solid slider and may be a BIG hit for those who really like venison, but if you aren’t an adventurous eater or just the idea of venison creeps you out, then you should try one of the other options here! Overall Overall, we’d say the dishes here were unique and tasty! It was fun to get some new items with a holiday twist, and the atmosphere at the Holiday Bar adds to the enjoyment for sure. If you try one of these dishes in the future, be sure to let us know what YOU think! Click here to check out the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs!
