Earlier this month we announced the Aguirre family from McAllen, Texas as the first ever winners of the Disney and Points of Light Volunteer Family of the Year and now they’ve received another great honor! At a special celebration on Nov. 11, the City of McAllen recognized the Aguirre family for giving back to the community through their volunteer organization, Emily’s Meals, and issued a proclamation officially declaring Feb. 18 as Emily’s Meals Day! On behalf of the Mayor of the City of McAllen, this proclamation commemorated the family for their generosity by forever making Emily’s Meals a part of the town history. The Aguirre family started their organization after daughter Emily asked how they could help homeless people in their community. What started out as a small family volunteer project has now grown to a volunteer group of more than 100 people delivering 40 meals a day to people in need. The Aguirres were one of thousands of families who were nominated for the Disney and Point of Light Volunteer Family of the Year competition and, after a nationwide vote, were surprised live on ABC’s Good Morning America with a dream trip to Walt Disney World Resort to celebrate Family Volunteer Day on Nov. 23. They also won $10,000 for their nominating nonprofit, Juan Diego Academy. However, when Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Bob Chapek heard about the work this family does each and every day, he surprised the family and added a $10,000 additional donation to Emily’s Meals. “We believe in the power of volunteerism and the ability of one person—or one family—to make a difference in their community and change the world,” Chapek said. “The Aguirres are a fantastic family, and show how the joy of giving back can help create a national movement of volunteerism.” For more information on how Disney is celebrating Family Volunteer Day around the world and how you can join in the fun, visit Disney Parks Blog next Monday, Nov. 18 for all the details!The Aguirres are an incredible example of the power of family volunteering. Find out how you can get involved in family volunteering by visiting Points of Light. To learn more about how your nonprofit or school can earn Disney Parks tickets by hosting volunteer family events, check out the Disney Family Volunteering Reward Program. View the full article

Are you spending this Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World Resort? Don’t miss out on the Orlando Invitational! Offering a completely unique way to celebrate Thanksgiving, this year’s tournament will take place from Nov. 28, 29 & Dec. 1, 2019 at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The Orlando Invitational is one of the most highly respected early-season college basketball tournaments in the country and features some of the biggest NCAA teams in the nation. Keep reading for five reasons why you and your family should attend. 1. Spend Quality Time With Your Family Watching sports is an important holiday tradition for many families – including my own! Instead of watching from your couch this Thanksgiving, why not catch all the games live at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex? The Orlando Invitational lets you spend quality time with your family and experience the exciting gameday atmosphere. 2. Visit the Beer Garden Do you love trying local brews? Make sure to stop by the Beer Garden in the HP Field House. Unique to the Orlando Invitational, the Beer Garden will feature beers on tap from your team’s college hometown. 3. Cheer on Your Favorite College Basketball Team Every long-distance basketball fan knows that when you live far away from your favorite team, it can be a challenge to attend games. The Orlando Invitational is your chance to cheer on eight NCAA teams in person. This year’s tournament includes Davidson, Fairfield, Harvard, Marquette, Maryland, Temple, Texas A&M and USC. Which team are you rooting for? 4. Feast at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex If you’re anything like me, you’ll agree that eating snacks is an essential part of spectator sports. From nachos to hamburgers – and beyond, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex offers a variety of classic gameday concessions. Looking for a sit-down restaurant experience?

Enjoy Everything Walt Disney World Resort Has to Offer There is nothing more magical than visiting Walt Disney World Resort during the holiday season!

There is Fun for All Jedi Teens at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Disney4me posted a topic in Disney Blogs
The force is strong for teens visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. From out-of-this-world snacks to galactic experiences, here are five things teens will enjoy in a galaxy far, far away. 1. Build an intergalactic side kick at Droid Depot Every space traveler needs a trusted companion and at Droid Depot, teens have the opportunity to build their own indispensable sidekicks: droids. Choose between a BB or R2 unit, receive your blueprints, choose the individual parts and build your droid! Teens can even add a personality chip and other accessories to customize their droid to their exact specifications. Once complete, the droid will be paired with a remote control and they can watch as their trusted companion comes to life. 2. Send taste buds into hyperdrive with stellar treats Teens should check out Ronto Roasters for delicious on-the-go snacks. Ronto Wraps are great for a quick and easy food option, and they taste galactically great! After ordering, take time to see former smelter droid 8D-J8 turn the meats on the spit, ensuring perfect tenderness for each traveler on Batuu. Over at Kat Saka’s Kettle, teens should prepare their taste buds for takeoff as they taste the new chocolate popcorn with red salt. They can wash everything down with a refreshing cup of blue or green milk from the Milk Stand. The vibrant colors of the milk make for creative pictures with the unique landscape of Batuu. 3. Explore the Black Spire Outpost Marketplace The marketplace on Batuu is filled with a number of unique items that can only be found at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The Creature Stall features exotic creatures and critters from around the galaxy that will make for the perfect souvenir for any teen. From the sassy Kowakian monkey-lizard to the adorable porg, teens can take home a new friend! At Black Spire Outfitters, teenage padawans will find all of the outfits they need to train in the ways of the force. Whether they are ready to be a Jedi or a Sith, this apparel shop has the robes and accessories for any intergalactic mission. 4. Interact with members of the First Order and the Resistance Teens should get their camera phones ready because Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is filled with characters to encounter and take photos. From the Resistance, Chewbacca and Rey can be found walking around the land looking for new recruits. But watch out! Resistance Stormtroopers are on the lookout for rebels and their leader Kylo Ren may make an appearance to show the power of the First Order. 5. Soar through space aboard Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run After gazing at the jaw-dropping Millennium Falcon parked in Black Spire Outpost, climb aboard to take control on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Teens can be a pilot, gunner or engineer and race through the galaxy on a special mission for Hondo Onaka. This hunk of junk is the fastest in the galaxy so buckle up and get ready to activate hyperdrive. Every teenage Jedi-in-training will love exploring this new land and creating out-of-this-world memories. Coming soon is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, which opens on Dec. 5, 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Jan. 17, 2020 at Disneyland park in California. View the full article -

Greetings, world travelers! France Holiday Decorations We’re reporting in from Epcot today to give you a few updates from around the park! We’re dreading the end of Epcot Food and Wine Festival on November 23, but we are anxiously awaiting the beginning of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays on November 29. So, we’ve been keeping an eye out for updates related to the upcoming festival switch! Read on to check out everything new in food, construction, and merchandise in Epcot. Epcot Food Updates Future World We’re headed to Future World first to check out a surprising menu change at Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion. About a year ago, we spotted the Deep Dish Pizza on the menu at Sunshine Seasons, and though it wasn’t a true deep dish it stood the test of time. Well, the Deep Dish Pizza is NO MORE in favor of a thinner, more standard slice of pizza. Cheese Pizza World Showcase Over in World Showcase, we spotted that supah-cute Mickey Tree Popcorn Bucket at the Canada Popcorn Cart. You know what that means??? You can get it filled with MAPLE POPCORN!!! Popcorn Mickey Tree Bucket With a quick skip over to France, we saw that Les Vins de France had a new prepackaged snack offering. You can now get Laughing Cow Mini Crepes at the wine shop. We didn’t even know this was a product that existed but miniature crepes? We can get behind that. Wine Shop Laughing Cow Mini Crepes Epcot Construction Updates Multiple Locations Do you see what I see? That’s right, Christmas decorations! France Holiday Decorations We spotted the signs of new decorations popping up all over the park today and it’s really putting us in the Christmas spirit. Canada Holiday Decorations Plus, that means we’re one step closer to all the new eats at Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. The Land Holiday Decorations Future World As usual, we checked in on the construction over at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. There’s another construction barrier up so it’s difficult to see from guest areas but construction seems to be moving along. Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster Construction We wonder if they’re working as much on the inside as they are one the outside! The Guardians coaster is set to open sometime before Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021. Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster Construction Just around the bend near Mission: SPACE, we’ve seen external developments at Space 220. It’s been a WHILE since we’ve seen work being done on the outside, so the fact that external painting is going on has us really excited. Could this mean that we’re nearing the completion of construction? We sure hope so! Mission Space Restaurant The upcoming space-themed restaurant set to open this winter — read all about it here! We also spotted some other construction along the pathway into the World Showcase. There’s some barriers up between Refreshment Port and the Hawai’i Festival Booth and it looks like they might be finishing up with the rumored new restrooms. Future World Walkway Restrooms Construction World Showcase You might have heard about the new Race Against the Sun: Ancient Technique to Modern Competition exhibit in the Morocco Pavilion. We dashed over to check it out for ourselves. This exhibit is super informative and has immersive elements too! It’s a great way to learn about two extreme competitions that take place in the Sahara desert! Race Against the Sun Exhibit Read more about the Race Against the Sun Exhibit here! Epcot Merchandise Updates World Showcase There’s not much in the way of new merchandise in Epcot but we did HAVE to check in on the WILD parasol we spotted recently. You might remember it… It had princess heads on animal bodies. Yeah…THAT one. Epcot princess parasol Read all about this parasol here! Well, there’s no sign of that interesting parasol (did someone buy it??), but we did see a cute Christmas one… France Parasols … and a Disney snacks parasol. We’re digging this snack one, y’all!

The holidays are a very merry time of year at Walt Disney World Resort, and this year is no different with the stunning holiday decorations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom featuring an extra special touch of magic this year. The beautiful, white snowflakes woven into garland hanging on the shops and buildings in Discovery Island were handmade by artisans from the Augusta Training Shop, a nonprofit organization in Augusta, Georgia that employs adults with cognitive and physical disabilities, enabling them to discover their abilities and create rich and meaningful lives. We recently had the chance to meet the inspiring artisans who made these snowflakes and hear their stories of the care and attention they put into making each and every one. And because the holidays are all about coming together, we knew we had to bring them to Walt Disney World Resort to personally see their one-of-a-kind snowflakes hanging for all to see at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! The impact of Walt Disney World Resort reaches communities beyond our own here in Central Florida, and we’ve been honored to work with the Augusta Training Shop and showcase the amazing and inspiring talents of their artisans. It goes without saying that this holiday season at Walt Disney World is one to feel good about. We hope you love admiring these beautiful snowflakes just as much as we do! View the full article

Can you believe it’s almost 2020?! Spaceship Earth We know there are a few Disney World restaurants that ALWAYS seem to be difficult to grab a reservation at (we see you, Be Our Guest!), but what NEW dining spots coming in 2020 should you be ready to pounce on? We’re giving you our look at what we think will be the toughest spots to get that Advance Dining Reservation you’re looking for so you can plan ahead! So here’s the Advance Dining Reservation drill if you’re unsure or need a refresher: If you’re staying at a Disney World Resort: 180 Days out from the FIRST day of your Disney World hotel reservation, you can make dining reservations for the length of your stay or 10 days out. If you’re NOT staying at a Disney World Resort: You can book 180 days from the day you intend to eat at a particular location. Booking opens up online at 6AM EST. If you want those hard to get spots, you best be at your computer ready to click at that time! Many popular locations fill up FAST or may already be booked solid by the time you try. So which NEW restaurants are already on our “set an alarm and get up early to make Dining Reservations” list? Space 220 – Epcot When people think of eating in Epcot, World Showcase is the golden child for good reason — there is SO MUCH to choose from! Future World isn’t winning many awards in the fine dining catagory. Coral Reef and Garden Grill are the only table service spots and, while both good in their own ways, they’re not showstoppers in the world of Disney dining. But as of this Winter, the front half of the park will have its first table service restaurant in a YEARS! Space 220 is perhaps the most highly anticipated restaurant to open in Disney World in the next year or so, and rightfully so! This looks like it will be an OUT OF THIS WORLD dining experience the likes of which we have yet to ever see in Disney World. Space 220 Just GETTING to the actual restaurant will be an adventure! Guests will board an elevator that will rocket you a whopping 220 miles above Epcot – thus the name Space 220 – offering panoramic views of space. Once you enter the restaurant itself, the sweeping views of our galaxy continue. Space 220 All we know so far is that the menu will feature more than 1,000 bottles of wine and a huge selection of craft beers. We can only speculate beyond that, but hopefully we see some exquisite food offerings as well! If you are looking for the newest offering when it comes to fine dining, Space 220 is the reservation you will want to book first. Space 220 Concept Art ©Disney Between the cool “launch” into the restaurant, the awesome space views promised, and what we’re hoping will be a top-notch menu, we think this is going to be on the top of many guests’ dining wish list. Learn more about Epcot’s newest restaurant by clicking here! Alternatives We’ll be honest, we were hard-pressed to come up with alternative dining experiences if you run into trouble finding a reservation for Space 220. It is truly unique and will be unlike any other restaurant Disney World has ever created. Plus — NEW Future World restaurant! Yaaaaayyy! That said, other options that truly excel in both theming and taste are Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom and Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge. World Showcase in Epcot also has endless opportunities for unique dining experiences, be sure to consider immersive locations like Biergarten, Restaurant Marrakesh, and San Angel Inn. Oga’s Cantina – Hollywood Studios This watering hole is a unique location you’ll want to carve out time for if you’re in Hollywood Studios. With SO much to look at, some boppin tunes, and tasty beverages on tap, Oga’s Cantina is an experience unlike any other in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Oga’s Cantina Star Wars fans will love the atmosphere and the attention to detail, and there’s something on the menu for everyone, including those above and below 21 years of age! We think the most unique drink on the menu is the Fuzzy Tauntaun, which (spoiler alert!) makes your mouth GO NUMB! You can definitely tell Disney spent a lot of time focusing on not just the flavors of these drinks, but the full experience of enjoying these beverages as well. Jet Juice at Oga’s Cantina Speaking of overall experience, between the music and overall liveliness, Oga’s Cantina is just a really fun spot to take in the sights and sounds. Watching DJ R3X spin some beats (and work his way through some glitches along the way) is one of the coolest aspects of Oga’s Cantina and we could watch him for hours…err…maybe more like 45 minutes. Guests are asked to enjoy Oga’s for a limited time of 45 minutes per reservation. DJ R3X While Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios came in like a lamb and less like a lion in terms of insane crowds that were expected, it’s fair to assume that many guests are holding out on visiting until the flagship attraction, Rise of the Resistance, opens in December 2019. Once that happens, it’s possible that crowds will rise considerably in Hollywood Studios in 2020. Oga’s Cantina is ALREADY tricky to get reservations for, but the further out you book dining, the more likely you are to snag a reservation! Oga’s Cantina NOTE that while reservations might be easier to grab as time goes on, you are still required to have a reservation to even enter Oga’s Cantina, so if you want to look around and take in all the scenery, you DO need to book a reservation time to go inside. Occasionally when crowds are light, they’ll allow guests to wait on stand-by for a turn to enter, so be sure to check. DRINKS at Oga’s Cantina Also note that this is not a full-service restaurant – it is a bar/lounge that primarily serves alcoholic beverages, in addition to non-alcoholic drinks and a couple of bar snacks to munch on. While there are some interesting options and even a secret menu charcuterie, this might not be the droid you are looking for when it comes to good eats. Batuu Bits at Oga’s Cantina Remember, in Walt Disney World (unlike Disneyland) guests can have their drinks served to-go if you wish to sip and stroll on a Jedi Mind Trick or other out of this world drinks. Get all the deets on our full review of Oga’s Cantina here! Alternatives Thankfully, great food can be found elsewhere in Galaxy’s Edge — we heartily recommend picking up a nearby Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters to munch on! They also serve a few alcoholic drinks we’re fans of, like the Surly Sarlacc, on the menu there. Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo is Galaxy’s Edge’s main spot to grab food while “on planet” and it features a number of unique food and drink options. Takodana Quencher Read more about our love of Ronto Wraps HERE! The Milk Stand also serves up alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions of that infamous blue or green milk. And really, if you don’t drink the milk in Galaxy’s Edge, did you even REALLY Galaxy’s Edge in the first place?? Milk Stand Coolers in Disney World Ch-ch-ch-check out the boozy milks here! Looking for an actual sit-down bar or lounge nearby instead? Baseline Tap House is located right outside the entrance to Galaxy’s Edge (AND there are no reservations required! AND they actually have an awesome charcuterie!) Read more about Baseline Tap House here! If you want to experience other truly unique bars and lounges, venture outside of Hollywood Studios and check out Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar in Disney Springs, Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom, and the classic Trader Sam’s at the Polynesian Village Resort. All of these spots have really fun environments, awesome drinks, and great food as well! Roundup Rodeo BBQ at Toy Story Land – Hollywood Studios There aren’t a ton of details available about this new dining spot coming soon to Hollywood Studios, but what we DO know is that Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a much-needed addition to Toy Story Land, and frankly, Hollywood Studios in general. Toy Story Land Currently, your only dining option in that area is Woody’s Lunch Box, which has limited seating and an even more limited menu. Both Hollywood Studios and Toy Story Land have been in need of another table service option for a while now and we’re hoping this fits that bill. While no opening date has been set, we expect to see this new family-friendly restaurant open in 2020. Toy Story Land Concept Art ©Disney We expect this restaurant to be a big hit with families, especially those with young kiddos. From what we’ve read and seen, guests will dine in a ‘cardboard box’ setup (built by Andy, of course), and while the rodeo/Western toy theme will be apparent throughout, you’ll find an assortment of other random toys as well as your favorite Pixar characters in toy form, creating an immersive dining experience. Needless to say, if you have any Toy Story fans in your household, you will definitely want to book this reservation as soon as you can! Toy Story Land Concept Art ©Disney With limited dining options in Hollywood Studios, a new sit down location will likely be a HUGE hit in the park, so we’re bracing for crowds. Alternatives Other unique family-friendly options in Hollywood Studios include Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant (you get to eat in a CAR!), 50’s Prime Time Cafe, and character dining at Hollywood & Vine. Check out our review of Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant HERE! If you’re looking specifically for good barbecue, a great option would be to check out Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. The Old Favorites There’s a number of dining locations at Disney World that just ALWAYS seem to be tough to snag that Dining Reservation for. If you haven’t been to Disney World, or haven’t been in a while, we wanted to share popular restaurants you’ll DEFINITELY want on your 180-day radar if you’re looking to eat there on your trip! We don’t want you to miss out!!! Inside the Parks The big locations to keep on your watch list in Magic Kingdom are Cinderella’s Royal Table (because obv eating IN the castle is the COOLEST!) and Be Our Guest. Both are notoriously difficult to get a reservation at, but Be Our Guest, in particular, is many guests’ white whale restaurant. Snow White at Cinderella’s Royal Table If you can’t score a dinner reservation, try breakfast or lunch. Prices are much lower (if you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, breakfast and lunch count as a quick service meal as opposed to 2 (!!!) table service credits for dinner!) and the meals are served more casually on top of being slightly easier to get a reservation at those times. Be Our Guest Ballroom In Epcot, the tricky Dining Reservations are all about timing. A few restaurants sit on the water of World Showcase Lagoon and, if you time your reservation right, offer prime viewing of the fireworks on the lagoon each night. These include Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room, Spice Road Table, and La Hacienda de San Angel. The View from La Hacienda de San Angel Be sure to log on 180 days out to get your reservation if you’re looking to enjoy dinner at these spots from roughly 7:30PM til close — they book up FAST! If checking out the fireworks is your goal, shoot for an 8-8:30PM reservation to guarantee you have plenty of time to enjoy your meal! Outside the parks Disney’s resorts are bursting with great dining options, but most are relatively pain-free to get a reservation at. A few you may have to keep an eye on though? ‘Ohana in the Polynesian Village Resort, Chef Mickey’s in Disney’s Contemporary Resort, as well as (for all you big spenders or if you’ve got a special occasion to celebrate!) Victoria and Albert’s in the Grand Floridian Resort. So if you want into these hard to nab spots, be ready! Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey’s With ALL the great restaurants and so many new options heading to Disney World, we want you to be ready and prepared to pounce and get ALL THEM REZZIES you and your family are dying to eat at.

Two witty Cast Members have been named Skippers of the Year at Magic Kingdom Park and received an honor that’s no joke: their photos are now part of the themed show! Jay Friesner, an Attractions Host at Jungle Cruise, and Richard Reyes, Food & Beverage Coordinator at Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen were both nominated and selected by their peers for representing the best attributes of a Skipper, and photos of the wisecracking pair were captured and aged by Walt Disney Imagineering to match the 1930’s timeframe for the adventurous locations. Guests can spot the photos on Skipper of the Year plaques located inside the Jungle Cruise queue and along the wall of Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen – while also interacting with the real life Skippers. Started last year at Magic Kingdom Park, it’s a truly unique recognition program that could only happen at Disney. Check out this video of Jay and Richard showing off their plaques in the attraction queue and restaurant: The Skipper of the Year awards join a number of other recent announcements for Jungle Cruise fans, including the launch of the annual Jingle Cruise holiday attraction overlay and next summer’s “Jungle Cruise” film starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. With so much going on, I can’t think of a better time to be a Jungle Skipper … canoe? View the full article

Sleigh bells ring, are yah listenin’? Saratoga Springs Resort — A Disney Vacation Club Resort We’ve had so much fun spotting all of the different gingerbread displays tucked around Disney World. What’ve we found so far? A whole gingerbread lineup including supersized displays like the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House, the Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel, the Contemporary Gingerbread Castle, and the new Wilderness Lodge Gingerbread Cabin. Well today, we spotted a smaller display at Saratoga Springs that is still super impressive! There’s something so cool about how much detail the Disney chefs put into their gingerbread displays and the new gingerbread town in the Saratoga Springs lobby is no exception. The display is out in the lobby from 9 am to 9 pm so that guests can swing by and check out that awesome gingerbread-y craftsmanship! Saratoga Springs Gingerbread Display There are five separate little gingerbread structures all connected by chocolate wafer stepping stones. Look at this pretty church complete with icing detailing and a shiny star at the top of the steeple! Saratoga Springs Gingerbread Display The house next to the church reminds us of the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House and has super detailed icing-cicles (okay, okay… icing icicles). Saratoga Springs Gingerbread Display And up next, another structure that reminds us of another display. There’s a little gingerbread carousel! A tribute to the Beach Club display? Could be! Or maybe they just like carousels! Saratoga Springs Gingerbread Display There’s a little yellow house, complete with a stable holding the CUTEST gingerbread horses! Saratoga Springs Gingerbread Display And finally, a brick Post Office for the town. The rickety gingerbread shingles on this building are one of our favorite parts of the whole display!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for…waffle tacos??? Ample Hills Listen, we all know it, but waffles are a HOT commodity in Disney World. From the cult-favorite bubble waffles in Disney Springs to the absolutely beloved Mickey waffles found all over the parks and resorts, Disney guests are certainly not ones to pass up on a waffle treat. Can you blame us? Waffles are pretty darn good. Well, we caught wind of a new Holiday Ice Cream Taco at Ample Hills Creamery and we were on it like syrup on breakfast! The Ice Cream Taco appeared near Halloween before moving to a more secret menu and it now has new Christmas sprinkles to make it seasonal once more! This sundae is comprised of your choice of ice cream loaded up in a waffle taco shell (dipped in chocolate… yum!) and covered with your choice of toppings. Ample Hills Creamery Ice Cream Taco We chose a newer ice cream flavor called The Munchies. Munchies is made with pretzel-infused ice cream with a mix of crackers, potato chips, pretzels, and crushed chocolate candy. Savory and sweet?? YES, PLEASE! This honestly might be a new fave flavor for us. Our waffle shell was made to order but Cast Members told us that they keep them in stock as much as they can since the demand just keeps going up for the Ice Cream Taco. Ample Hills Creamery Ice Cream Taco They FILL these things up, which we totally appreciate. But ours was SO full that the shell started to break! Maybe our taco shell was a little too fresh, so you might want to speed through snacking on this one or grab a bowl and spoon just in case! Ample Hills Creamery Ice Cream Taco Get the Ice Cream Taco for yourself at Ample Hills Creamery for $8.99 and get your ice cream fix AND your taco fix at the same time!

As many of us across the country have been experiencing some frigid temperatures this week… Stitch! …this Disney World park has decided to “batten down the hatches” for the arctic blast coming its way! We’ve confirmed Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon will be closed this Saturday, November 16th due to cold weather. As of right now, Saturday’s forecast for the Orlando/ Lake Buena Vista area is calling for mostly cloudy conditions which temperatures in the 6o’s and a low of 50. Typhoon Lagoon Typhoon Lagoon is showing “no times available” on its webpage for November 16th, and since Blizzard Beach is currently closed for refurbishment, there won’t be any waterparks open in Disney World this Saturday! ©Disney If you feel like braving the cold weather, you’re only swimming option will be the resort pool of where you’re staying, but we think we’ll be bundling up instead and we’ll leave our swimming plans for warmer, sunnier days! But that’s just us! Were you planning on going to Typhoon Lagoon this Saturday? Let us know if this park’s closures impact your vacation plans in the comments below!

Holiday Popcorn Buckets Find out more about the Mickey Light-Up Tree Popcorn Bucket here! Eight Spoon Cafe Here’s something completely random — over at Eight Spoon Cafe they’ve added photos of their baked mac and cheese items to their sign!

Eight Spoon Cafe Read our review of Eight Spoon Cafe’s baked mac and cheeses here! Dawa Bar Over at Dawa Bar, African Spiced Nuts are now available for $5.99! We tasted a lot of cinnamon and nutmeg in the nut blend and they’ve got a good kick of spice to them too. African Spiced Nuts Read our review of the African Spiced Nuts here!

Entertainment Update in Animal Kingdom Can we take a moment to enjoy the new holiday decorations in Pandora: The World of Avatar for just a sec? If you haven’t visited the land of the Na’vi this Christmas season yet, it’s pretty special. Although most of Pandora isn’t decorated, Pongu Pongu (which is run by humans, or so we’re told) has decked its halls thoroughly! Pandora Christmas Decorations They’ve strung Christmas lights all over the roof and even have some little Christmas artifacts from Earth! Pandora Christmas Decorations Peeking in the windows, we could see some vintage pieces of Christmastime nostalgia including this jolly-looking Santa toy… Pandora Christmas Decorations …and even Mickey Mouse makes a guest appearance in his little scarf and sweater! Pandora Christmas Decorations There were also lots of paper Christmas decorations haphazardly taped to the windows like this adorable one of ol’ Saint Nick! Pandora Christmas Decorations But our favorite homage to the guy in the big red suit was the bio mech suit Santa Claus! His hat and beard appear to have been fashioned out of whatever was lying around, but the impact it has is a truly holiday-inspired stroke of genius!

WOW!! We ate as many holiday treats as there are dalmatians!! Sleeping Beauty Castle Holiday Decor Hey, they don’t call it the most wonderful time of year for nothing! We LOVE eating our way around the Disney parks and the holidays brought about an avalanche of new treats and eats in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Well, we tried A LOT of them — 101 to be exact. It’s a hard job, but someone’s gotta do it. So, now that we’re pretty much experts on the Disneyland Resort holiday food scene, we’re here to tell you our absolute favorite holiday choices! There’s a ton of awesome holiday options in Disneyland Resort and we’ve picked out which ones made us feel like we were walking in a winter wonderland! So, in no particular order, here are our faves! Churro Shake We still can’t get over this one. Drinkable. Churros. BOOM. (That’s the sound of our minds being blown!) A GENIUS IDEA!!! This shake is a must-drink with brown sugar cinnamon ice cream, cinnamon churro cereal, whipped topping, and a piece of that sweet, sweet, heavenly churro toffee. Oh yeah, you read that right. CHURRO TOFFEE. If you’ve never had it, you don’t even know what delicious is. CHURRO SHAAAAAAKE! Okay, maybe you do. But, seriously churro toffee is a revelation and we’d eat it for every meal if nobody stopped us so essentially liquifying it just made it way easier for us to permanently have to wear stretchy pants. The Churro Shake can be found at Schmoozies! in California Adventure for $7.49. Churro Milkshake (did you see the toffee? It’s right there on top.) Check out our FULL REVIEW of the Churro Shake here! Cheesy Corn Fries Award Wieners is one of the best places to find a good hot dog in California Adventure and we never pass on a chance to try out a new fry topper on their iconic Filmstrip Fries. The fries are awesome because of their thickness and shape and they’re perfect for holding up heavy toppings like the ones on the Cheesy “Corn” Fries! Cheesy Corn Fries Just LOOK at these babies!! The fries are a real showstopper with Corn-Cheese Sauce, Chile-Lime-dusted Corn Fritters, Pickled Fresno Chiles and Cilantro. We can’t get them out of our heads! The corn fritters alone are the size of a full appetizer! This is a pretty hefty portion so they work as a meal or are great to share. You can pick them up at Award Wieners for $8.99. Cheesy Corn Fries Click here to read more about why we LOVE these Cheesy Corn Fries! Peppermint Churro There are a bunch of new churros in Disneyland for the season (Churros…in Disneyland? You don’t say!), and you know we had to give them all a taste! After all, the Disneyland churro is a hands-down classic! A few of the holiday churros made our faves list and the first one is the Peppermint Churro! This thing is as delicious as it is messy so grab some napkins and CHOW DOWNNNN. Peppermint Churro The Peppermint Churro is a classic churro with chocolate sauce, vanilla icing, and crushed candy canes and we’re drooling just thinking about it. We spotted this churro at the Redwood Creek Trail Churro Cart for $6.25. It’s a good way to get into the holiday spirit, all while savoring a Disneyland classic… And trying to keep your hands clean! Peppermint Churro Want to know more about the Peppermint Churro? Click here! Holiday Stuffing Mac and Cheese Let’s switch gears back to another savory option with the Holiday Stuffing Mac and Cheese. This mac is one of the MANY dishes available at California Adventure Festival of Holidays and it’s easily one of the best. First of all… it tastes as good as it sounds. Stuffing? Check. Mac and cheese? Check, What more could you want?? It’s just delicious carbs on top of delicious carbs wrapped in a cheesy hug! Holiday Stuffing Mac & Cheese This mac and cheese is available at the Favorite Things marketplace for the Festival of Holidays and you can nab it for $7.75. But FYI, we loved literally ALL of the options at Favorite Things and this was just one of them so don’t be afraid to make a meal out of your visit to this marketplace. You won’t be disappointed!!

Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese Fans of savory rejoice because another awesome savory option has made our faves list! Check out the Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese! This sammie is a cheesy combo of brisket burnt ends with a barbecue Coca Cola sauce, pickles, and ALL THE CHEESE. YUM. This thing is SUPER filling and delicious with that awesome tender brisket. Still got room? Oh yea, there’s perfect, crispy, salty tots and a crock of beans to knock back as well. Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese The Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese can be found at River Belle Terrace for $23. Yeah, sure it’s a little pricey for a sandwich but it comes with A LOT. Plus, did we mention it’s delicious? Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese Click here to read more about the Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese! Thanks-mas Sandwich If how much we love A Nightmare Before Christmas is any indication, combining two holidays can make for some serious masterpieces. Well, we found one of those tasty creations in Disneyland this season with the Thanks-mas Sandwich. This sandwich is a DELISH collision of classic flavors from Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner with oven-roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce between two slices of rustic bread. Thanksmas We love leftover sandwiches after Christmas and Thanksgiving and this guy is just like one of those! It will seriously put you in the holiday mood so just head on over to Jolly Holiday Bakery and grab one for $10.99. Thanksmas Click here to see our FULL REVIEW of the Thanks-Mas Sandwich! Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Funnel Cake Ok, this one takes a minute to wrap your head around. Pumpkin spice AND cheesecake AND funnel cake? Wait, wait, wait… That sounds pretty darn good! Well, that’s because it IS!! You can find this at the Hungry Bear Restaurant for $8.99 and it is HUGE. Pumpkin Cheesecake Funnel Cake The Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Funnel Cake is classic funnel cake topped with pumpkin pie cheesecake mousse, graham cracker streusel and crumbles, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. Calling all sweet tooths! This one’s for you! Plus there’s ice cream and whipped cream Mickey on top so that basically means it will be da bomb.com!

Come on! Pecan pie in churro form? Drop that mic, Disney! We’ve called the Pecan Pie Churro next-level and with good reason. This sweet treat is topped with maple glaze, chocolate drizzle, and toasted pecans. You know what that means: sticky AND delicious! Pecan Pie Churro This one is BY FAR our favorite holiday churro in Disneyland this year and easily slides into our fave holiday treats overall. It’s shown up as a part of the Festival of Holidays at Willie’s Churros for $6.25 and is definitely the limited-time churro that you DON’T want to miss! Pecan Pie Churro Find out more about why we love the Pecan Churro here! Beast’s Forbidden Pastrami Burger Thank goodness this burger isn’t actually forbidden because it is too good to pass up. We stopped by Red Rose Taverne to try out their holiday specials and one really caught our eye (and filled our stomachs)! For $16.49, the Beast’s Forbidden Pastrami Burger is pretty fairly priced considering the absolute mountain of food you recieve! Beast’s Forbidden Pastrami Burger The sandwich is made with an angus beef patty topped with uncured wagyu pastrami and a spicy mustard aioli. We can’t get it out of our heads! Add on a skewered tomato, pepperoni, and a pepperoncini on top, and this thing looks like a crazy good meal. Disney burgers can be iffy but this one is SO SO SO very good! Beast’s Forbidden Pastrami Burger Click here to read our FULL REVIEW of Beast’s Forbidden Pastrami Burger! Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich Last but certainly not least is the Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich. Brown sugar cinnamon ice cream is sandwiched between two gingerbread cookies and rolled in ginger snap cookies! That’s a lot of ginger, but even those who aren’t huge ginger fans might like this treat because the ice cream does a lot to balance it! Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich You can nab this sandwich for yourself at Schmoozies! for $4.49 so super cheap for a holiday special! New Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Schmoozies!
