Even though it’s Christmastime in Disneyland, we haven’t exactly hit Thanksgiving just yet! Christmas in Disneyland While there’s a bunch of themed Christmas treats around the park, you can Fall into a celebration of the good food and cool weather of BOTH holidays with the new holiday menu items in the park! The Thanks-Mas Sandwich and Butternut Squash Soup are being served up at Jolly Holiday Bakery! (And, they look INCREDIBLE.) Holiday Offerings at Jolly Holiday The Thanks-Mas Sandwich is a combo of your favorite items from Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, made of oven-roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce between two slices of rustic bread. And, it comes with a side of those SUPER GREAT house-made chips! Thanks-Mas Sandwich and House-Made Chips Honestly, if we could have this sandwich every day, we would. The turkey is shaved a little thicker, which balances the stuffing and chunks of cranberry in the sauce. The gravy melts into the bread and the turkey, adding a slightly smoky flavor to everything. Thanks-Mas Sandwich The bread has a DELICIOUS crunch as you bite into the sandwich. It didn’t get soggy one bit, even after we dipped it into the soup (more on that later!). Although the sandwich has some savory elements, the burst of cranberry really comes through (tart, just like we like it). The house-made chips are a wonderful side since the saltiness contrasts the flavors of the sandwich in the best way. Thanks-Mas Sandwich The sandwich pairs very well with the creamy Butternut Squash Soup. Although it might not look like anything special, this soup is one of the best we’ve EVER tried in a Disney park. The flavors are sweet and buttery, while the soup has a slightly thick (but not too much!) consistency that kept us wanting to eat bite after bite. Butternut Squash Soup The soup comes with a breadstick, which is good, but nothing outstanding. However, we’ve got a lil DFB pro tip for ya that’ll knock your Christmas socks off! Butternut Squash Soup and Breadstick If you dip the house-made chips into the soup, the saltiness from the chips tastes AH-MAZING with the sweetness from the Butternut Squash Soup! If you’re looking for a quick snack in the parks, this version of “chips and dip” is so so so satisfying. The BEST “Chip and Dip” Combo!! You can get the Butternut Squash Soup for $5.99 and the Thanks-Mas Sandwich for $10.99 for BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas! Thanks-Mas Sandwich and Butternut Squash Soup Plus, if you have any room for dessert (we always do), you can check out all the Christmas treats at Jolly Holiday too while you’re there!

Christmastime has flurried into the Disneyland Resort, and the Festival of Holidays has come along with it! Festival of Holidays Banner While we’ve tried SO MANY drinks, like the Warm Bourbon Cider, Navidad Punch, Cranberry Sangria, and Horchata Aqua Fresca to name a few, we’re ready to sip and stroll through Disney California Adventure for another holiday treat! The Holly Cherry Holiday Punch is getting poured with care over on Sonoma Terrace at the Golden Vine Winery! Sonoma Terrace Holiday Menu The non-alcoholic drink is shaken up with pineapple, cranberry, and cherry juice and garnished with a cherry (or holly berry if you want to fit with the theme!). Holly Cherry Holiday Punch While there are plenty of fruity and delicious non-alcoholic drinks in the parks, this version was on the sweeter side. And for us, it was almost too sweet. Ours mainly tasted the pineapple juice and we didn’t get much of the cherry or cranberry flavors (whyyy??). The more we sipped on the Holly Cherry Holiday Punch, the more we started to enjoy it though! Buuut, if you’re in it for the cherry, you might want to skip it! Holly Cherry Holiday Punch The Holly Cherry Holiday Punch is adorably festive looking for $4.99 or a Sip and Savor pass!

We’re kicking off the week on the Disney Parks Blog with a look at what the Ugly Duckling from the 1939 Silly Symphony “The Ugly Duckling” short may do if he had the chance to visit a Disney Park. According to artist Ashley Taylor, the Ugly Duckling, who is taken in by a loving family of swans by the end of the short, just may take to the water at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, for a special holiday celebration all their own. “The nighttime shows at Disney are a great way to spend quality time with friends and family,” Ashley said. “It’s easy to imagine The Ugly Duckling and his mom enjoying their time in Echo Lake during ‘Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!’ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!” View the full article

Today, we celebrate Veterans Day, a day to honor and respect veterans and active military duty. In 1918, the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour marked the end of World War I. Join us as we commemorate the 101st anniversary of the original Armistice Day, which became known as Veterans Day in 1954. Thank you to our veterans – our nation is forever grateful for your service. In honor of this special day, Bob Chapek, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products visited Disneyland Resort to participate in the daily flag retreat ceremony. He was joined by Veteran cast members to commemorate the important occasion. “We are proud to support America’s veterans and military families, both by celebrating service and providing opportunities for those transitioning to civilian life,” said Bob Chapek. “From hiring and career development programs, to creating magical memories for active duty and veteran families during their visits to our Parks, we honor America’s heroes each and every day.” Check out the video below! As we acknowledge all active military duty and veterans today, let’s take a closer look at some of our own heroes who work here at Disney! Our strong connection to the armed services continues today, as our company was founded by two brothers who served their country in uniform during World War I. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for additional stories being told throughout the month, and follow the conversation with #HeroesWorkHere! View the full article

The massive Epcot transformation is officially underway and that means we’re finding some changes to the World Showcase. World Showcase Lagoon Soon you can expect to see an overhaul to the United Kingdom Pavilion in Epcot and a new Ratatouille-inspired ride in the France Pavilion, but there are some cool changes in other pavilions that have already arrived. One example of that is the new Race Against the Sun exhibit in the Morocco Pavilion! Earlier this week, Disney announced that the Gallery of Arts and History in the Morocco Pavilion reopened with an all-new exhibit! This gallery is one of the many places on the World Showcase where guests can learn about other cultures and the new exhibit, Race Against the Sun: Ancient Technique to Modern Competition is an awesome way they can do so! Morocco Pavilion The exhibit is centered around two Moroccan competitions, Marathon des Sables (Marathon of the Sands) and Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc (Rally of the Gazelles). You can also learn about the culture of the Saharan Berbers! Race Against the Sun Exhibit ©Disney The Marathon of the Sands is a six-day ultramarathon that is right around the length of six regular marathons! Whew! AND the Marathon takes place through the Sahara Desert. And we thought the runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon sounded hard! Race Against the Sun Exhibit ©Disney The Rally of the Gazelles is an all-woman off-road race through the Sahara. Both of these events sound crazy extreme and the exhibit is a super cool and immersive way to see how they came about through years of tradition. Race Against the Sun Exhibit ©Disney Plus, to go along with the opening of the gallery, there’s a new treat at Tangierine Cafe. Sellou is an almond and sesame seed-based snack that participants eat during their races to stay energized. Looks pretty tasty to us and it’ll probably help with that mid-park day schlump! Sellou ©Disney We aren’t too sure how long this new exhibit will be sticking around, so head over to the Morocco Pavilion and see what there is to learn! To check out all the other interesting things coming to Epcot, click here! Do you think these events sound intense? Will you be stopping by the exhibit? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Lift your voices loud and clear and join in on the Christmas cheer in Disney California Adventure! Christmas at California Adventure While we’ve seen lots of festive treats, like the Pecan Pie Churro, Peppermint Soft-Serve, and Cranberry-Orange Lemonade already, now we’re sipping on a classic drink in the park! The Holiday Egg Nog and Elf Nog are shakin’ things up at the Hollywood Lounge! Hollywood Lounge Holiday Menu The Elf Nog is practically just a cup of good ole’ egg nog served over ice, made with plenty of milk and cream (just like we like it!). Elf Nog After one sip, we couldn’t help but feel like it’s officially the Christmas season! The Elf Nog tastes just like Christmas in a cup with lots of yummy nutmeg flavor mixed in. However, it is a little on the thicker side, so it resembles more of a watered-down milkshake (not that we’re complaining). Elf Nog The Holiday Egg Nog is the spiked version of Elf Nog with the addition of some spiced rum. Honestly, we feel like you can’t go wrong with spiced rum and Christmas drinks, right?? Holiday Egg Nog The spiced rum goes beautifully with the egg nog, balancing both sweet and spicy flavors in the drink. The addition of the alcohol actually makes the consistency of the nog less thick, which makes for smoother sipping. While you can drink this on its own, it would taste AH-MAZING with a Mickey Gingerbread Man Cookie from around the park! Elf Nog and Holiday Egg Nog You can get the Elf Nog for $4.99 and the Holiday Egg Nog for $12.25 throughout the holiday season! Maybe you can even share one with your mistletoe buddy!

It’s officially Christmas at Disneyland Park! Disneyland Holiday Decorations We’ve been eating and drinking our way around Disneyland to check out all of their new seasonal offerings for the 2019 holiday seasons! After chowing down on the Toffee Churro and the Santa’s Milk and Cookies Churro, we had our eyes on the churro cart near Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for their special holiday treat. With the holidays comes NEW seasonal Churros! At the Sleeping Beauty Churro cart, we found a new Caramel and Coconut Churro. This is priced at $5.75 with the Caramel Coconut Dip setting you back an extra $1.00. Caramel and Coconut Churro When we dip, I dip, we dip! This churro was very fresh but also very much a classic Disneyland churro (not necessarily a bad thing if you’re craving a classic churro). We luuurve the idea of caramel and coconut, but surprisingly, the dip just tasted like standard caramel sauce. We wanted to go nuts for coconuts! The couple flakes of coconut in the sauce were nice but lost in the sticky-sweet sauce. We would have loved to taste more of a coconutty punch from this. Caramel and Coconut Churro The thick caramel dip was obviously very flavorful (and plentiful!). It was much thicker in texture than previous churro dip options throughout the seasons. This caramel sauce was pretty fantastic, even if we didn’t get much coconut flavor from it. Caramel and Coconut Churro If you want a sticky caramelly churro, this will hit the spot nicely! Before you power through to Fantasyland, make a pitstop at the churro cart in front the Castle for this sweet treat. Try it yourself or one of the other seasonal churros offered at Disneyland!

All Aboard! The Holidays are here at Disneyland and with it comes new seasonal churros and treats! Disneyland Holiday Decorations Next stop: Fantasyland! We’re working our way around Disneyland and California Adventure tasting the Toffee Churro, Sugar Cookie Churro, and (our fav so far!) the Pecan Pie Churro. Now, we’re headed to try a new holiday offering from the Churro Cart at Casey Jr. in Storybook Circus. The big man in the red suit got a major upgrade this year! The Churro Cart at Casey Jr. is serving up the Santa’s Cookies and Milk Churro! Santa’s Cookie and Milk Churro Priced at $6.25, the churro INCLUDES the sweet milk dipping sauce covered in red and green sprinkles. We were pleasantly surprised by the taste of the churro alone as it tasted just like cookie butter! The sweet milk dipping sauce was light and tasted exactly like it sounds — creamy, sweetened milk! It also wasn’t fairly thick, which was actually not a bad thing for this churro. Santa’s Cookies and Milk Churro If you’re going to reinvent a classic like Milk and Cookies, you better do it RIGHT (and they did!). This seasonal snack is totally worth a trek out to that side of Disneyland Park! There’s also a similar incarnation of this churro (but more on the cookies and cream side of things!) over at Hollywood Land in Disney California Adventure. Read about that HERE!

As a kid, we all remember that childhood tradition where you’d leave out cookies and milk for Santa. And, the next morning, they’d mysteriously be gone! California Adventure Christmas Tree Buuut, now that we’re all grown up, we’re the ones eating all the Christmas treats in Disneyland! While we’ve spotted the Man-Eating Christmas Wreath Rice Krispie and seasonal Cranberry-Orange Slush for the holidays, now we’re heading over to Disney California Adventure to try a churro that will have you grabbing for a glass of milk! The Milk & Cookies Churro is being served up for guests of all ages to enjoy at the Churro Cart by Hollywood Lounge! Churro Cart The churro is rolled in chocolate chip cookie and cookies and cream flavored sugar and paired with a cookies and cream dipping sauce! Milk & Cookies Churro Basically, this churro is just a cookies and cream churro that we’ve seen previously around the parks! The sugar on top leans more towards a mixture of cinnamon and Oreos, as we didn’t taste any hint of chocolate chip cookies. The dipping sauce seems to be a combo of sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chunks, and cookies pieces (which is very yummy!). Although the flavors are simple, the Milk & Cookies Churro is still a tasty treat and different from the standard Disneyland churros! Milk & Cookies Churro If you’re going to spend $6.25 on a churro, though, we recommend getting the Pecan Pie Churro instead! Or just get both!! (; Hungry for more?

As fall turns to winter at Disneyland, we’ve seen Halloween step aside and make way for yuletide (along with all the Christmas decorations and sweet treats that come with it, of course!) River Belle Terrace Dining Room And we’ve also noticed a new seasonal offering (along with a few new menu items!) at one of our favorite places to dine at Disneyland — the River Belle Terrace! Naturally, we had to direct our team of oxen over to this Frontierland eatery to taste the new grub they’re cookin’ up! Here’s the new River Belle Terrace menu we were given at the restaurant! As you can see, there’s now a Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese Sandwich that we’re dying to try! Online, the sandwich is listed as a “seasonal offering”, although on the River Belle Terrace’s physical menu it simply appears as a “signature sandwich”, so we’re not sure if it’s sticking around for a while or not — either way, we’re not taking any chances! River Belle Terrace Holiday Menu We also ordered the rest of the NEW dishes off the menu including the Beef Short Ribs and the Apple Cobbler because…food. We also snatched up the Catch of the Day because why not?! Hey, we’re good eaters here at DFB and enjoy our entrees with a side of…another entree — or two more entrees! We even got a little treat for dessert which will save for the end! River Belle Terrace Holiday Menu Items The Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese costs $23, which might sound like a lot for a sandwich, but it was AMAZING. The Kansas City-style brisket burnt ends were nice and tender, lightly tossed in a sweet barbecue Coca Cola sauce! Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese But what perhaps surprised us the most was the bits of chopped up pickle and pepperoncini relish that really stood out amongst all that melty cheese goodness! They tasted like the exact same spicy pickles that they sell throughout Disneyland, so if you’re a fan of those bad boys, we think you’re gonna love the Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese! Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese It’s a rich, meaty sandwich too, so bring your hearty, pioneering appetite! It comes served with River Belle Terrace’s Signature Baked Beans and your choice of side — we went with Seasoned Tater Bites because you can’t go wrong with all that meat, and potatoes, AND CHEESE! Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese And while River Belle Terrace has offered Pork Spare Ribs in the past (and still does –don’t worry!) we also ordered up the new Beef Short Ribs for $29. The entree features fresh cut of beef cooked slowly and coated with a yummy herbaceous rub! The house-made sauce really ties the whole thing together and the mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables it comes with are super yummy too! Beef Short Ribs We also sampled the Catch of the Day for $26 (a favorite River Belle Terrace dish of ours!) It’s a generous portion of sustainable fish which is topped with a tangy remoulade sauce and fresh greens. It’s also served with seasonal vegetables which this time featured some roasted fingerling potatoes! Catch of the Day After all our feasting, we were sure to save some room for dessert! Check out this mouthwatering Apple Cobbler, served up hot and fresh right from the skillet! The cold, creamy ice cream was nice and melty over the warm cinnamony baked pieces of apple with bits of sweet, tasty streusel bits scattered about! Apple Cobbler The Apple Cobbler was absolutely delicious — just the perfect sweet and texturally satisfying dessert to cap off our wonderful savory meal at River Belle Terrace! Apple Cobbler So next time your heading through Disneyland’s Frontierland, circle your wagons at River Belle Terrace to try their new menu offerings for yourself!

“Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow.” It’s time for you to check out a NEW seasonal churro in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland! Christmas Garland in Tomorrowland There’s a flurry of new seasonal treats in Disneyland, and on our foodie tour of Tomorrow land we’ve tried the eats at Galactic Grill, everything Alien Pizza Planet has to offer, and now we’re taking a look at a brand new churro option! You’ll find the new Toffee Churro at the Tomorrowland Churro Cart. Priced at $5.75, it comes with the option to add on Chocolate or Chocolate Almond Dip for $1.00. Toffee Churro We’re happy to report, the HYPE is REAL with this one! Just like the famous Churro Toffee where it’s all the awesome flavors of a churro hiding in the crunchy crispety texture of toffee, this treat is the buttery toffee borrowing the CHURRO’S texture! We did taste the toffee in the churro, but this was a little subtle. When it comes to toffee or churro anything, you need to go BIG on the flavor! Despite the subtle toffee flavor, it was actually still very good on its own! Toffee Churro We opted to add on the Chocolate Dip with Almonds. It was actually a lot like chocolate pudding! It also wasn’t very strong, but it was just enough to add a chocolate kick to the toffee Churro. The crunchy almonds were a nice texture add as well. It basically turns the Toffee Churro into an Almond Roca churro, which is SO not a bad thing!! Toffee Churro with Chocolate Dip We would DEFINITELY get this again! Also, try to get to this cart early…the line for this churro was loooong every time we passed by it! Check Out All The 2019 Holiday Offerings At Disneyland!

Christmastime treats have been baking up all over Disney California Adventure! Tasting Passport for Festival of Holidays And, along with the gingerbread, hot chocolate, and eggnog around the parks, holiday churros are making a sweet appearance for guests of all ages to try. Although we’ve already seen the Peppermint Churro and the Sugar Cookie Churro, we’re back for another round! Get ready to crunch and munch on the Pecan Pie Churro at Willie’s Churros for the Festival of Holidays! Willie’s Churros The churro is topped with maple glaze, chocolate drizzle, and toasted pecans (!!!) to make the perfect Christmas treat. Festival of Holiday Treat Sign Ok guys. We’ve been HUNTING this churro for DAYS. Every time we checked they were either sold out or closed. We need this churro in our lives so we persisted on! Finally, after we checked back at the cart five different times throughout the day, the churro gods answered our sticky-sweet prayers! We can fINALLY say it was worth the wait. Unlike most of the other holiday churros we’ve tried, the Pecan Pie Churro doesn’t come with an option to buy dipping sauce. We think it’s because the churro is SO GOOD, you can just eat it on its own! Pecan Pie Churro If you can imagine biting into a thick waffle after some maple syrup soaks into it, that’s the texture of this churro (our mouths are still watering). The maple glaze and chocolate syrup are a delicious combination. The flavor of the two drizzles melt into your mouth with each bite, which we loooove. Maple Glaze, Chocolate Drizzle, and Roasted Pecans! The nuttiness from the pecans adds a slight hint of extra sweetness on top of the occasional “soft crunch” they give to the churro. Seriously, this churro is NEXT LEVEL. We might need to put this at the top of our Best of the Fest (You know, now that we FINALLY tried it!!)! Pecan Pie Churro We highly recommend that you grab the Pecan Pie Churro for $6.25 during the Festival of Holidays! A churro a day keeps the humbug away, you know!!
